A real flaming barbecue
2018-06-03 310 瀏覽
I was checking out this new building because I heard that Popeyes was going to be there but sadly it wasn't open yet so I just explored the place to see what was open.
On the top floor, there was The Charcoal Room which sounded interesting.
Went there for lunch and tried some lunch sets.
A la Carte menu with more meat options:

When I was seated, I discovered that they use charcoal for grilling.
As well as outdoor BBQs, this could be the first indoor Charcoal bbq in a comfortable air conditioned environment.
I tried the soypaste soup with rice, steamed pork with red bean rice and a grilled platter where you can choose three meats.
Although the grill is the star of the show, the other two lunch sets were equally as impressive especially the soy paste soup which had a strong bean taste with firm tofu.
The other red bean rice reminded me of Caribbean rice and peas!
Soypaste soup with rice:
Steamed pork with red bean rice:
Grilled Platter:
The charcoal grill was actually quite good because there were flames which cooks the meat like BBQ so that the meat is nicely charred on the outside whilst moist inside.
I was definitely impressed by this experience because of the charcoal grill so will come again!

[Review 6593] Sichuan fare at Shanghai Lao Lao @ 上海姥姥 Shanghai Lao Lao

I was surprised to see some Sichuan dishes at SLL so decided to try it because I like Sichuan dishes.
They had four different items in hot chili oil: Seafood, Beef, Pork and Vegetarian and two appetizers which were tripe or pigs stomach.
Clearly the seafood in hot chili oil was my pick because it had prawns and jellyfish which is not often served in Sichuan restaurants.
The tripe was a bit repetitive though because there was an appetizer version with it and it was in the chili oil version.
Anyway, got the tripe for appetizer and a few other Shanghai dishes.
The prawns in chili oil was spicier than I expected but you could still taste the freshness of the prawns which were springy.
It would be great if it came with rice as it really goes well with rice.
The beef tripe was soft with a chew, also marinated well but a little too salty.
For carbs, had the noodles with spare ribs (pork chop in Shanghai cuisine), the noodles were plain which goes well with the chili and stronger dishes.
We also had the Shanghai dumplings as these are my favourites especially with the appetizing vinegar.
Overall, I was pretty stuffed but satisfied with the spicy dinner.

So dam good Chicken
2018-06-02 32 瀏覽
There are too many options for KFC these days so competition is fierce.
I was attracted to this one because of the fried chicken coated in salted egg yolk and the location being in LKF.
The only draw back is that it is very cramped inside even for a thin person, so imagine how you would feel being any bigger!
Unfortunately, I had to get the set because you can't order the salted egg yolk chicken a la carte and the set comes with fries, salad and two drinks.
The chicken was good and the salted egg yolk coating was not too salty while the chicken was soft and springy.

I doubt anyone would order the new chicken fries a la carte as the price tag is $50.
Anyway, I did!
You can get them a la carte or with the meal and it comes with sweet and sour sauce or BBQ,
I wasn't asked what sauce I wanted but luckily I found out from the poster so requested for the BBQ.
The box was cute and the chicken fries were uniform in shape possibly made of reprocessed chicken meat and shaped into fries.
The coating had spices and tasted like one of the burger patties from Burger King UK which also uses this coating.
They were a bit too dry for my liking.

Salmon overload

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.

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.
