[Foodie] Kay Lee Roast Meat Joint

Dear Readers!!!

The recent hype on Kay Lee Roast Meat Joint offering to sell it's secret recipe for S$2 million caused an uproar with nearly neverending long queue outside their stall located in Upper Paya Lebar. And yes, I was one of those "kaisu" Singaporeans. Don't laugh!! Before the advertising on the newspaper, I went there once...

When we reached, there was already a queue formed all the way to the Bak Ku Teh stall -.-"'

As we approached the front of the stall, the aroma of the ducks caused my tummy to rumble.

And, the Lady Boss in action, chopping the Roast Ducks into smaller edible bites.

Finally, after queuing for more than an hour, we finally placed our orders. I know what many of you are thinking right now! Silly Singaporeans in action. But it's more of a personal achievement when I finally managed to eat them...

Whole Roast Duck (S$46)

What I like about their famous Roast Duck? They don't have a ducky smell unlike some places. Some of you may find the meat a little on the tough side but it's actually because it's leaner. Also, there isn't any thick layer of fats underneath the chargrilled skin and when paired up with the gravy it's delicious!

Char Siew (S$10) / Roast Pork (S$10)

How about their Char Siew? It's nicely grilled with a gently charred appearance. Meat tend to be oily but its the best meat plus oil combination of Char Siew making. For those who are afraid of the oily meat may pair it with the unique yellowish gravy that is slightly sour as it neutralises the oily texture. The way the Char Siew was cut into bigger and thicker slice helps in improving the texture when you chew. This is unlike the typical Char Siew outside where it's thin and you can hardly taste their seasoning and the charcoal "burnt" taste.

Roast Pork? Sadly, this pales in comparison with the first 2 dishes. Taste was fairly nice but could be better.

Overall, the duck was good but not good enough considering the price and the long waiting time. I love their Char Siew and felt that it's worth the S$2 million price tag but for the Roast Pork, nah... I had better ones. Because of the long waiting time, I don't think I will revisit again.

[Foodie] Melt @ Mandarin Oriental Singapore

Hi Readers!!!

I was browsing through my pictures when I realised I didn't blog about my Valentine Day buffet dinner (it was worth blogging). Okok, I know it's a month ago... well, better later than never right? =P Anyway, we celebrated our Valentine Day at Melt. Upon reaching the venue, we were brought into our reserved seats without delay.

On each tables was a beautiful and fully bloomed rose for the ladies. Awww... so sweet of them...

I was charmed by the presentation and selection of the food. There was a large variety of them, and among the various stations I was instantly drawn to this... FOIE GRAS STATION! I was like "What!!! They have a Foie Gras Station!!!" This is a station which I have yet to see in other buffets...

Yumz! of course Melt also have the usual stations such as sushis, sashimis, seafood, oyster, pasta, meat, desserts, etc... Pictures shown below...

Since it was during Valentine day, their desserts are mainly design in a romantic way. Lots and lots of hearts and love all around. It's a really pretty sight...

Overall, the buffet isn't really cheap. Maybe it's Valentine Day, we spent $108++ per person. In terms of service, they were rather attentive, plates were clear fast and it's important. Recently I went to have dinner at a place and they take a very long time to clear the plates. And the tables that we were in, are very small. So yep, clearing the plates fast is an important factor to me.

I also felt that they serving the foie gras gives them brownies points. Haha... really unique. In terms of taste, they are one of the better places to have buffet in. If you want to pamper yourself, why not this place?

[Foodie] Pow Sing Kitchen @ Serangoon Garden Way

Hey hey Readers!!!

I was craving for chicken rice and was in Serangoon Garden Way when the pictures of the hanging chickens tempted me to try. And hence within seconds, I found myself in the Nonya Resturant flipping through the menu.

We were rather quick in deciding on the food...

Soup (FOC)

Chicken Rice (S$3.50)

Chicken, Char Siew & Roast Pork with Rice (S$6)

We did not order any side dishes, and the waitress who was taking our order was initially surprise when we told her "that's all our order". (Very little meh?) Anyway, in terms of food, I thought it was pretty average. No "wow" factor in them.
