After openrice changed the website, the new restaurant list doesn't show up new restaurants like it used to.
It now shows new restaurants with the most reviews which is extremely annoying so you have to go to the very back of the list to see new restaurants which don't really show up and if you don't have the phone app, this website is pretty hard to use.

Drunkerland is obviously the land of drunks yet I was sober.
Anyway, my friend asked me to go to this new place so I thought cool, but when they said they were going for skewers it was not so cool.
They then reassured me, there was other stuff to eat!
Well there was Chips and gravy so I was sorted.
No pain, no gain!!

The drinks menu was really comprehensive, they had their own brewed beers and beers from different countries.
My friend had the house beer which in my opinion was very bitter, but the Hong Kong style glass was nice with the Lion Rock and Chinese wording on the back.


For me I had the Ar Me which was a sweet strawberry mocktail.

Lets start with the gravy and chips first because all I wanted to eat was the chips!!
The chips were a bit different, it was baked with cheese and rosemary on top with a side of gravy.
Quite nice!

The second dish that I really liked was the okra on ice served with wasabi soy sauce, it was simple was damn delicious.

The third dish that was amazing was the grilled fish, it was just divine on its own that it didn't need any sauce.

Well for me I was sorted because I got my fish and chips.
At first I thought it was fish covered in Mayo because the menu said that but mayo is a Chinese fish.

The rest of the stuff they ordered was grilled skewers which were crisp and grilled nicely with grilled pork belly, chicken skin, beef, cartilage and even the asparagus on the side was good.

There was Typhoon soft shell crab which was interesting because it came with a side of chopped onions, garlic and peppers which complemented it nicely.

The fried beancurd skins rolls were ok but a bit oily but the peppery sauce was the star of the show because it went well with the chips and other items.

An interesting beer joint with a bit of everything on the menu!
The chairs were stylish.

Great lunch sets

Tried this restaurant when they were at Ashley Road and it was great.
The new location is better and bigger.


Went here for lunch and the sets were really good because it had most of the choices I wanted and it includes soup and rice.

Started with sweet corn soup which was light and appetizing.

Next came the appetizers which were the preserved eggs and vegetables.

The preserved eggs were amazing because the texture was really soft like jelly and it wasn't spicy.
Then came these rare vegetables which I had to try because they were fiddlehead ferns in chili oil.
They were really nice but spicy and they had this strange banana taste to it.

For the mains, had the gung pao prawns which were really springy with a slight spicy kick to it.

The eel dish was spicier and interesting because there were brown noodles which absorbs the delicious sauce.

As well as lunch, we had some extra soup and crispy beancurd topped with black bean and garlic paste.
Both were great but the lunch set is a really good option if you can't make up your mind.
Refreshing lime soda that I had:

Cute but fiery baby lotus roots which have been marinated in chili juice.

[Review 5400] Black gold at Sportful Garden Restaurant @ 陶源酒家 Sportful Garden Restaurant

Went here because they had the blackfoot abalone.
The blackfoot abalone has a black appearance and it comes from New Zealand.

They slice it thinly and blanch it in soup with spring onions.
The texture was really similar to squid slices.
As well as abalone, we had deep fried tofu rolls and garlic cucumber for starters.
The tofu rolls were crispy but I felt that there was no need for the batter coating.

The pork and okra in black bean sauce was really good because black bean sauce is always tasty and the pork slices were tender and lean.

The fried rice looked oily but it was quite nice.

The tofu pot with sea cucumber was a bit too sweet for my liking.

For dessert, we had red date pudding which was sweet and sticky!

Weekday unbeatable $99 tea set for 2

This must be the cheapest weekday tea set you can get and it includes two drinks as well.
I thought it was a new promotion but according to their Facebook, they had it last year but some of the items were different.
The current tea set features green tea gelato, custard croissants, sandwiches etc.

Here was the real thing.

I really liked the set because I liked most of the items and they were not too heavy or sweet.

As well as the tea set, we had other stuff as well.
Tried the new green tea cheesecake which comes in different sizes.

It was quite rich with a good balance of green tea flavour to it.

My other favourite was the croissant because it was filled with thickly sliced luncheon ham and scrambled egg.



The Earl Grey cake was my favourite because I just love Earl Grey.
