Back for some local grub
2017-07-30  224 瀏覽
Went here for some Chinese grub.
The squid with salted egg yolk was guilty and delicious.
They were crispy laced with fragrant salty egg yolk.

The bittermelon is another one of my favourite because of the rich black bean sauce and there are lots of black beans in it.
The bittermelon was soft and not too bitter.

Finish with the soup which was huge,
There was a strong fish and tofu taste that you could taste.

Went here for Malaysian food.
For mains had the Hainan chicken which was tender and silky.

Also had the dIY pancakes which were elastic and chewy complimented with mince meat and sauce which is very very fiery.

For desserts had the Roti tissue which is like a sweet poppadom with peanuts and shredded coconut stuck to it.

The VitaMilk is a must order because it is rich and thick with purple rice at the bottom that gives some mouthfeel when you drink it.

The nasty summer is here so decided to fix my thirst with this strawberry drink.I thought it was fresh strawberries but evidently there are lots of strawberry puree floating in the drink as you can see it swirl and the colour is dark as fresh strawberries give a lighter colour.
There were some real strawberries but frozen ones.
The taste was ok but I would not return as this other brand's strawberry is better.

Haven't had mussels for a while so decided to go to Frites because they serve Belgian fare.
The restaurant setting is like a large communal hall with long tables and benches.

Mussels are a must order so got the Laksa mussels and a few other items.

GRILLED LAMB RIBS $145
The lamb ribs was a good decision because not many places serve lamb ribs and they were soft and crispy with a lovely taste.

Laksa mussel pot:
coconut cream, lemongrass and kaffir lime in an aromatic curry sauce
The mussels were good as expected with a rich curry taste.

FLEMISH BEEF STEW $335
leffe brune braised usda short rib, horseradish cream mashed potato
The beef stew was hearty and filling while the mashed potato was very buttery and creamy.

I love cheese and ham toast so ordered this as well which was very strong and cheesy because they used Gruyere cheese.


Finished with the pina colada which was very strong in alcohol content!

Went to SK deliberately to try these Guangdong delights, some restaurants say it's from Kaiping, some say its from Chaoshan and some from Toishan.
Anyway, I am not familiar with cuisine from China but I just like trying different things.
Portions are big so unfortunately I couldn't try the steamed rice vermicelli which is also available at 食好啲

You can also find these ricerolls in ToKwaWan's 富粥.
There used to be one in Saikung but it closed down!

Anyway, I tried the vegetable tea (Hakka thunder tea) which was loaded with vegetables, glass vermicelli, squid and it was a delicious savoury soup concoction topped with crispy puffed rice.

I really liked the soup but perhaps I am not fond of meat hence I didn't like the preserved sausages in it.
Then I had the ricerolls which were silky complimented by their homemade chili sauce which was quite hot.

The egg in the riceroll tasted surprisingly good because it was quite eggy.

Also tried some meatballs which are handmade, hence the irregular shape.

I think this is the best Frappe from Starbucks because I love Earl Grey and the jelly at the bottom is divine.
The Earl Grey balances the grassiness of the green tea and the cream on top had a lovely vanilla taste.

Discovered this place after dining at this Indian place in the same building.
The salad was light and healthy with my favourite spinach leaves and cheese.
The vegetable soup was packed with vegetables and quite sweet in taste.

The roast chicken was a bit different to what I had in mind but it tasted ok but a bit stiff with super milky risotto beneath it.

Finished with the tiramisu which was light and pleasing.
