$3.80

 Tian Jing cabbage $12.80

Served in some stock... Tasted ok..

 Special platter $48

- Wu Xiang

- fried whitebait fish salad

- Marinated kumpung chicken

Silverbait fish served with salad.. tasted very crispy even after awhile being served

 There are 2 type of wu xiang being served... no complain...

 Marinated kumpung chicken... its a cold dish... I expected it to be spicy but it wasn't
cannot said i dun like it but it didn't give me the WOW effect

 Peanut Butter chicken $16

Honestly no peanut butter tasted... but had the shrimp paste taste...

 Marble Goby $60

I cannot remembered the chinese name for this fish

Mr sim said ITS juz a fish.. no surprise effect on it

When served... its warm instead of piping hot

 Braised Tai Lok Mee $12

Is this the noodles Chef Eric created for the show he appeared in to teach the guy? I had a try.. mmmm somehow i expected it to be more tasting but it didn't made me wanna go back for more...

 We all like this.. very refreshing... lemongrass jelly $5

Wasn't too sweet for our liking

Pineapple TART!

When i saw this.. i had the !!! TART!

hahaha i expected it to be our normal tart but its the TART instead of the usual pinapple tart..

Not too bad... something new to me on pineapple tart...

$2.80

Total spent: $215.16 for 6 adults

including 5 rices & 6 towels

Both Dad n Mr sim seem to have the NOT very impressed look after that...

It tasted very home cooked style

They doesn't have alots of dishes on the menu.. what u see on the menu is what they served.

Dad said what are the signature dish but the lady said all are there... oh well..

But the service is execllent.. given the questions we bombed...@ least they didn't give us the I DUNNO! and blackkie face attitude..

Xiao long Bao @ Jurong point

Ok I have to admit an a BORING person when come to dinning out coz I will always go back to the same place.. Eat the same foods again till some ppl recognize me...

This restaurant located inside the not so new kopi Tiam at Jurong point 2 had been ard since the new extension is done... BUT it never attracts me...

Now with a baby in hand
I nid a pl Tat is spacish enuff for stroller to go in
Seats wide enuff to fit me n a BB together
So we decided to give this place a try since the dinner crowds haven't flow in yet...

The name of the rest sound like holding hands isn't it....
1st visit n we doesn't know wat to eat so we decided to give the set dinner a try
Usual if the set dinner can make it.. We usually will end up being regular customers..

When the rice was serve
It kind of surprised me
Coz instead of the usual jasmine rice
They served Japanese rice
But the texture today was kind of wet to mr Sim's liking but I like soft rice ...



The bill for 2 came up to this amt
Mmmm I would come back once in awhile when I had crave for xlb...



Water crest soup
Tasted quite good
Wasn't very salty or blend in taste
I would said it's just nice!



The veg Tat came in a set
Was way too over boiled...



Very interesting dish
It was a cold dish
Potatoes soaked with vinegar but not overpower.. Alil spicy



I love gung Bao ji ding!!!
N tis is my dish!!! Love the way they cooked it
Din disappointed a GNJD lover
I can really just have it with rice or noodle!



Am very scared of eating xlb
Tat had strong porky smell or taste
Thick skin n no juice
But tis didn disappointed me
Though it wasn't the most prefect but it win me with it's doozing juices n non porky taste n smell
If only the skin will be thinner abit

Eat out day

Settling our dinner outside with our Lil mafia was so stressful
We tot we can eat in peace when she is slping in the carrier after milk
So we decided to put her down to slp
Who know she woke up immediately
And
She suddenly wan more milk while dinner being served..

So mr sim settle her while I eat my share first...




1st time dropping into this place in raffles city
We often drop by the one at citylink mall last time before Lil mafia is out for zha jiang main n xiao long Bao
Wow Dat is so so so long ago




One thing they impressed me is their serving time is really FAST
Maybe we ordered simple dish or they r really fast...



Both r their signature dishes
Ordered the original taste duck
Ok tasted not too bad
The skin was very crispy

But the roasted pork was alil disappointing
Mr sim said only bonus is the skin really crispy
But the meat when eaten cold
It had a very strong pork taste
Which made him wanna puke

He dashed off to find an icy cold coke after we leave



MA po tou foo
Isn't it supposed to b spicy?
It tasted sweet to me...



Must eat with rice
Tender chicken cooked
Abit on the salty side if just settle it as a side dish.

Food review: 三盅两件

I hope I get the name right.. This is one of our fav. Chinese rest and we used to frequent it like once a mth when we were dating.. Hehe n tis is the Pl our MR sim bought me for dinner on our 1st date :p
The q was too long and we doesn't want to wait for an hr to get into the Pl so check how long it will take if we buy packed away.. 20min.. Well fair enuff so we ordered a rice each n their signature chicken.. Yummy..




Mr sim ordered a minced meat steamed rice.. I find the minced meat abit too dry but I love the crunchy water chestnut they add in for the bite.. Gave it a better texture.



Mine chicken sausage steamed rice.. Generous portion of rice which I should shared with mr sim but I doubt he b filling if he shared mine.. The chicken was well marinated.. Very tender..



Needless to say this is our main dish of the nite.. Yummy ESP with the Ginger spread with it though I can't take much Ginger.. I still can't give this goodies a miss.. Wrapped with the lettuce given.. Yummy ..made it more unresistable to have one piece after another.
