Vegetarian birthday
2016-02-23  4001 瀏覽
Went here to celebrate a friends birthday.
The memorable dishes that night were the rolls which were loaded with vegetables and they were triangular shaped.
The vegetarian intestines looked realistic but they were beancurd skin with a chew.
It would probably taste good with bbq sauce.

Mysterious fingerprints. Who was the culprit?

I was attracted to this restaurant because it was mysteriously called fingerprint.
One of the menus is invisible so I wonder if it needs UV light or something forensical to make it appear.

Anyway, it turns out to be Japanese and Western fusion with quite a few courses and a choice of mains for dinner which ranges from $180-$240.

For mains I chose chicken which was the cheapest and it also tasted good.

Here was what I had:

The chicken was good, it was tender and juicy with a nice roasted skin that was flavoured nicely.
++++
Rice and noodles:

I liked the stir fried pasta which was loaded with roe.

The soup came with the rice and the teapot design is really good because the lid is actually a bowl.

Inside was clear light broth infused with seafood.
++++
Dessert:

For dessert we finished with this warabi mochi which had osmanthus flowers in it, so there was a fragrant flowerly taste to it

Went here for CNY gathering but we didn't see the beautiful lady who works here that was on the news earlier this month.
Anyway, we had a nice balanced dinner with two vegetable dishes.

The morning glory was tender and tasty.

For starters, we had satays and the platter.
 0 讚好

The beef satays were my favourite because the beef was lean and tender.
 0 讚好

My next favourite was the glass vermicelli with prawns because the vermicelli had a really nice prawn taste and it was not oily.

There was green curry and rice which went well together but I found the green curry quite spicy.

On the last visit, almost everything was sold out so went again during the day for more choices.
Got the sesame matcha and apple caramel.
I liked the apple caramel because it was not too sweet with chunks of crisps apple in the middle and the caramel had a nice bitter taste to it.
The matcha had a grassy tone with velvety black sesame in the middle.

[Review 5064] Bird's nest to go @ 御品薈 Royal Goods

At Royal Goods you can get birds nest jelly and sea cucumber appetizers to spice up your dinner at home.
It would be great if they could improve on the birds nest jelly packaging because the lid keeps coming off when you carry it letting dirt and germs in.
 0 讚好

A suggestion would be to sellotape the lid or put the glass container into a small plastic bag and tie it with a bendy wire/ribbon.
+++++++++++++++
Spicy sea cucumber:
This was refreshing julienne cucumber and sea cucumber slices which were springy with a crunch complimented by the spicy sauce.
+++++++++++++++
Bird’s nest with manuka honey:

It was nice that they gave you manuka honey but I didn’t use it because the jelly is sweet and it was ok having the bird’s nest on its own.
I wish they had a better jelly base instead of the usual jelly that you can buy in the supermarket.
+++++++++++++++

Went here again because there was new stuff.
This time I tried the salmon and cheese nuggets.
There wasn't much salmon or cheese taste but it was fun to eat because the cheese is stringy.
The other beef stew was only $42 with decent beef cubes in it but for that price you can't complain that you only get 4 pieces.
