Salmon overload
2018-06-02  124 瀏覽
Ever since this place opened, I have been wanting to try it because of the donut toast!Went here for dinner as it wasn't very busy.

Started with drinks:
Fruit Romance and Black.


The Fruit Romance was a concoction of Apricot, Hojicha and Orange but the orange seemed to have over powered everything.
For the mains, I ended up choosing two salmon dishes because one was like the best tartare ever and the other was my favourite slow cooked salmon.
The best tartare ever was fun because you have to mix everything up and eat it with the bread.
The crispy bread really made a difference because I loved the chewy apricot pieces which gave it sweetness.
The slow cooked salmon was perfectly executed as it was silky and soft which paired nicely with the tangy sweet potato puree.
Unfortunately, I had to leave some room for the donut or I would have ordered the avocado tempura as well.
Finished with the long anticipated donut which was interesting but I couldn't taste the yoghurt as it was made of yoghurt.
Saying that, the donut could possibly taste nice if it was paired with just yoghurt or whipped cream.

Went here with a friend as he wanted to have hotpot but couldn't finish the items.We had one spicy pot and one non spicy.
My favourite had to be the fish maw chunks which absorb the broth and they were cut into big pieces.
Also had lots of iceleaf and okra because I love veggies.

Mac N Cheese

The Mac and Cheese is memorable so I always order it.
There are three flavours: chicken, four cheese and lobster.
I definitely recommend the chicken and lobster.
The lobster is cheesy and has lots of lobster sauce in it.
The four cheese has a strong cheesy satisfaction without meat.

My new favourite is the conchiglie with beef because the beefy gravy was delicious but the only complaint was that the pasta was not soft enough.

For drinks had the green point and caramel soda float.
The caramel float was really good because it was simply soda, caramel syrup and vanilla icecream so it was not too sweet.
Finished with the apple and cinnamon pizza which had chunks of diced apple and raisins which tasted nice together.

I love Turmeric and here they specialize in Southeast Asian dishes and Charcoal Grilled Turmeric chicken.
Went during Tea time and it was quite busy.
The decor was quite nice and different for the POHO area because it is either coffee shops or really old Chinese restaurants.

As you can imagine, the food came fast and piping hot with lots of steam coming off it which made it hard to focus for the camera and the food also stayed very hot.

Started with the Fuku Noodle with Charcoal Grilled Turmeric which comes with egg and toast.
I never quite get this standard combination but I ordered it because of the noodles.
The chicken was really good but the Turmeric could have been stronger.
The Turmeric chicken with rice was much the same but the flavour was stronger as it didn't get diluted by the broth.
Finished with the kaya toast which was flawless, thick fragrant sweet paste in between the crispy toasts.

In love with their Vegan menu

I am always here because of their vegan menu, it is great that they change it regularly.
On this visit, I tried some new items like the snow fungas salad which was light and satisfying while the Vegan Korean chicken was on the fiery side.
There was supposed to be some ice leaves in there but only found one!
The kale pancake is permanently on the menu but it makes sense because it tastes really good.

It is similar to those Chinese bokchang pancakes which are soft with a slight chew loaded with healthy kale and sweet wolfberries.

For drinks, both choices were so damn good especially the black garlic latte with charcoal, it was sweet with a gritty texture.
 0 讚好

The yuzu chocolate smoothie which I thought was an odd combination turned out well because it was similar to the pairing of choc n orange which never fails.
 0 讚好

Finished with the chia seed pudding which was silky and moreish!

Definitely will be back!

[Review 6585] A new bakery in the hood @ 德朗 (已結業)De Loin

Discovered this bakery after having ramen next door.
The donut caught my eye so I got the donut, the lady asked if I wanted a drink for an extra 8 dollars so I was like okay not that I really wanted it but then she said the Tea was not sweetened which made me go for it.
The Jasmine tea turned out to be the star of the show as I love teas and the Jasmine was really strong as well as natrual.
The donut icing was interesting because it wasn't sugar granules but more like icing powder yet one side was slightly clotted together like dots of icing.
When I left, I asked why they named the shop De Loin because I was just curious to see if they chose the French word randomly or with thought.
I was satisfied with the answer I got.
Will come again later to see if there is anything new as I am a fan of savoury items too such as quiches and pies etc.

[Review 6584] Modern Chinese Dinner @ 名館 Ming Bistro

There are now three branches of Ming Bistro.
This new branch is now my favourite because the food tasted better than the other two branches.
Started with the cold soy milk and lemon barley which were both served in light bulbs.
Very fancy and not too sweet.

I love soup and this one was really nourishing with double boiled fish maw and blaze mushroom.

Next was the pigeon, a Chinese favourite,
To me it just tastes like a tender mini roasted duck.

The Dimsum platter was stylishly presented.
Loved the prawn dumplings.
I think this would be a good item to order in the afternoon as  3 out of the 4 items are sweet.

The Yuzu Prawns were coated in this light crispy coating drizzled in sticky sweet yuzu sauce.
 0 讚好

Next was the Golden Rice in Broth.
When it came, I thought it was a big fishball in the middle but the ball was actually the rice.
Before breaking the riceball, I tried the soup and it was tasty with lots of vegetables in it.

The shrimp and potato thin pancake tasted like those Korean pancakes.
 0 讚好

The sauteed vermicelli prawn in claypot was really good because the glass vermicelli was firm and elastic with a nice prawn roe flavouring.
However the crab roe was a little strange as the colour and texture didn't work in harmony.

We were too full for the rice but it smelt good!

Finished with the Chinese Chess which were made of purple sweet potato and yellow sweet potato.
They were a bit too heavy and there was some sort of cream in the middle.
