26 Mar 2010 Thai Village Restaurants

Hey there! Since we touched on Goodwood, allow me to introduce to you, if you dun already know, Thai Village Sharkfins Restaurant. The outlet i went to was, as you may already guessed, beside Goodwood Park Hotel!

I am a diver and a lover of the ocean, so as much as i m setting such a bad example, please avoid eating sharks’ fins. The cruelty of obtaining the fins and leaving the sharks to bleed to death is ruthless and unpardonable.

Ok, so lets say if you will die if u do not eat shark fins, head on down to Thai Village Sharkfins Restaurant and look forward to an array of wonderful seafood treats. The food range from abalone to crabs to prawns and many more! The main highlight is definitely the big bowl of sharkfins. The fins are succulent and smooth and it comes in a huge chunk, you can truly appreciate savouring it. Its cooked in a tasty broth which i am sure you will slurp up with the mushrooms and all. The braise superior sharkfins comes in S$60/90/120. The one in the picture is 60 dollars.

The crab beehoon is also done up nicely and is really tasty. The bake crab with vermecilli is priced at S$28/42/56. Seafood lovers will have a great time there! Price may be a bit expensive, but its worth it! Enjoy!

Location: Beside Goodwood Park Hotel @ Scotts Road

Enjoy

PS: My 5 star ratings states that i want to eat it everyday, BUT because of the cruelty of obtaining sharkfins, i will refrain from it! But do check out the other food, which are very nice too!

07 Oct 2009 Long Beach Dinner Set

I’ve been always praising Long Beach’s food, we decided to order a dinner set this time round to celebrate my granny’s bday! However, not all the dishes were great. I guess, it better to choose individually the dishes you want to eat! The seafish, prawns and steam fish were really good. The crab they served was salted egg style, but its no where as good as the crab specialist’s one at Choa chu kang, SIngapore. The noodles were not up to standard too. But overall, we still enjoyed the meal! Its LONG BEACH after all! haha.

Yum Seng!

18 Sep 2009 Tung Lok Seafood Arena

Tung Lok has a chain of restaurant all around. Tung Lok Seafood Arena is the one at Jurong. It was my first time there and so happened they had a wedding dinner there! They asked if we do not mind giving the couple a red packet (chinese tradition to give a red packet with money inside) and join them for the wedding dinner! haha. Nono, thats not it. They asked if we are fine with dining in a small room by the side of the restaurant. We, being easy-going peeps, said yes!

We ordered stir-fried kang kong, deer meat, claypot seabass and a plate of steam prawns. We wanted to order crabs, but that day they were all sold out! But, its alright the fish and especially the prawns made up for it. The prawns were super tasty and fresh and nice with the complementing steam egg and sauce. Perfect! I highly recommend the prawns.

Oh the Luo Han Guo Tea is free flow! If you intend to hold your wedding there, do invite me!!! =D

15 Aug 2009 JuJu Hokkaido Hotpot
 |  Category: Japanese, Seafood, Steam Boat  | Tags: , , , , ,  | One Comment

You’ve probably seen their commercial on TV before - three small little kids enjoying their food with their very own pot. Yes, that is what JuJu Hokkaido Hotpot is trying to sell. Their unique selling point, you won’t have to share your hotpot with the rest. You will have your own hotpot by yourself.

They work on couse meal concept, serving 6 course meal for Lunch and 7 course meal for dinner, with prices ranging between $19.80++ for lunch and $29.80++ for dinner. They serve anything from beef to seafood to fish and oh boy, they are really fresh. You will definitely be spoilt for choices. Moreover, their concept of semi-refined dining would amaze you. Probably with their first course which is the 70% cooked egg.

Nice concept and bravo to the ‘a pot to yourself’ concept. More infomation can be found at (http://www.juju-restaurant.com/menu.html).

20 Jan 2009 Uncle Leong Seafood

Went down to Ang Mo Kio, Singapore, to have dinner at Mellben Seafood Restaurant. The famous restaurant with one of the best served crabs in town. When i reach there, around 7-730. They said we have to wait for approximately 1 hour 30 minutes. What the heck!!! Its a neighbourhood! You want me to chill at the void deck for 1.5 hrs?? So we did not eat there and head to the restaurant opposite. Yes, Uncle Leong Seafood Restaurant. More like a coffeeshop. haa. But let me tell you, its not just a replacement, i am glad Mellben was full house. The food there is just as good! The crab beehoon soup is very tasty. And the we were lucky to get the crab with lots of roll/egg inside! The other food served were tasty too! Mini wok deer meat, fried tou fu and stir fried spinach! Check it out!

29 Nov 2008 House of Seafood @ 180

This is the best place for Black Pepper Crabs. I’ve never eaten such great crabs in my life. As the comment from Mediacorp goes, “Even if you have to claw your way to this seafood restaurant, the crabs here are worth it”. So totally true. It is certainly a heaven for everyone, crab lovers or not.

Located at 180 Yio Chu Kang Road (near Serangoon Chomp Chomp), its a little out of the way, but it was really crowded. We had a little difficulty locating the place though.

Every dish which we had was great, but the Black Pepper Crabs (their speciality) stole the limelight. Its really tasty and spicy, and the black pepper sauce is really rich. The crabs are totally fresh. I have never eaten such tender meat before. My 5 cousins who were with me all agreed its the best we ever eaten!

We ordered dao miao, tou fu with minced meat, fried you tiao with prawn paste, mee goreng (which is spicy and good), and chilli crab. It costed the 6 of us around $180, and its really worth it considering the top food quality and superb service. As we were celebrating a birthday, the staff actually dimmed the lights,  played a birthday song, and served us ice water and plates for the cake. They were really thoughtful and we had a fantastic dining experience.

In conclusion, this is a MUST GO!!!!!

13 Oct 2008 Long Beach Seafood!

Yes, i can’t get enough of sea food! So my dearest dad brought us out for a scrumptious seafood dinner at Long beach at IMM, Jurong. We ordered Steam Crab with ‘Hua Tiao’ (Chinese Wine). Oh my, steam crab can only be enjoyed if its really fresh! And i tell you, i enjoyed it! Very nice, with lots of crab roe too. We had Bamboo clams, which was fantastic! They were much larger than what i normally have. Very fresh and tasty! The drunken live prawns is super fresh and sweet! The soup is very tasty too. Enjoyed the garlic fried spinach and ginger and spring onion fried frog legs. Really full of praises! I cant wait for my next seafood meal!
