[Foodie] Queenway Lau Tan Tutu Kueh @ Ion

Good Evening Readers!!!

I came across some instagram worthy tutu kueh in Food Opera, Ion Orchard. It's pink in colour. Feeling curious, I decided to take away some of their pink tutu kueh.

Other than the usual peanut and coconut fillings, they are have chocolate and red bean! So total 4 different flavours.

Here are some pictures...

Chocolate

Red Bean

Coconut

Peanut

Overall, I felt that these pink tutu kuehs look really pretty but taste wise - they are relatively dry. So unless you want to instagram this pink tutu kuehs, you can find better tutu kuehs elsewhere.

[Foodie] Tai Lei Loi Kei SG @ Nex

Hihi Readers!!!

A walk in Nex brought my friend and I to this place called Tai Lei Loi Kei (澳门大利来记). The original shop is located in Macau, and it's pretty popular in Macau.

Basically you have to order at the counter, and they will give you a receipt with a number on it. When the number flashes on the screen, you can walk over to pick up your food.

We decided to try out the following :-

Signature Pork Chop Bun (S$6.90)

Upgrade it to Set A, consisting of a Drink and a Sawdust Cake (S$3.00)

Pork Chop Bun: It's a very straightforward bun with just the bun and porkchop. What I liked about the bun is the bun is crispy and hot when served. However, I find that it's rather dry. So it's a must to order a drink.

Sawdust Cake: I have never tried a Sawdust Cake until this day. One point that surprised me was that the cake was not cold, although the plastic container is cold. I didn't like the sawdust cake tho, it doesn't have a taste plus the texture was... weird...

Bouncy Noodles with Pork Chop (S$7.90)

This is like a mee kia with maggie mee sauce. Nothing much to wow about.

On the tray, there is a "origin and history" of how Tai Lei Lok Kei came about, you may read while waiting for your food.

Food are pretty subjective. I may not like it, but well, you may enjoy it... So if you would like to try here's the contact details...

[Foodie] East Ocean Teochew Restaurant @ Ngee Ann City

Hello Readers!!!

I was here actually on the week before Father's Day. It was super packed! Tho we reserved a table, but we had to wait around 30 mins for them to prepare the table. Zzzzz... But can't really blamed them, looked at the crowd outside their restaurant!

We were presented with the order sheets while standing outside. Here's a glimpse of the order sheets if you are curious...

We walked around outside the outlet, and saw this really cutie pastries from East Ocean.... and no, we didn't buy any...

Anyhows, we were brought to our table, and we quickly ordered some of the dimsum having already decided while standing outside. So once we had our table, we hand over our orders to the waitress. We didn't have to wait for the food. Some of the dim sum that we ordered...

The dim sum are delicious. I love their custard bun, I took a picture of the custard oozing out of the bun... yumz.....

I will definitely visit again, but maybe not during the weekends or festive periods when the crowd is at its peak.

[Foodie] Prima Tower Revolving Restaurant

Hey Readers!!!

Just a couple of days ago, I visited Prima Tower Revolving Restaurant. Sounds interesting eh... We reached the location (address below) at around 11am.

There are signs leading you to the restaurant, so not to worry, you won't get lost. We were led to our table, and you can really fill the restaurant revolving! It's moving at a very slow speed, so rest assured.

We decided to have dim sum, and we were shown the dim sum menu... and some of the pictures of the dim sum that we ordered :D

Some of the dishes that I like personally are :-

- The porridge that we ordered do not have the grainy feel, it felt that the porridge had been cooked for quite a while. The keropok and the coriander went well with porridge. A good thing to note is that the keropok and the coriander were placed separately to retain it's crispiness and freshness.

- The chee cheong fun was awesome, it had the char siew inside which have a smoky taste.

- The xiao long bao resembles that of ding tai fung.

Overall, I enjoyed the food very much. The service staffs were very attentive and food served were prompt as well. I also enjoyed the ever changing view! Here are some of the ever changing view :D

[Foodie] Wedding Dinner: Conrad Centennial Singapore

Hello Readers!!!

Happy Chinese New Year and a Romantic Valentine Day to all! It's an auspicious day to blog about a joyous occasion - Wedding!

Went to a Chinese Wedding recently and it was hosted in Conrad Centennial Singapore. Held at level 3 in the Chinese Restaurant located in the Hotel.

Here are the pictures of the dishes served.

Silver Fish (Appetiser)

Golden Peony Deluxe Combination

Crispy Prawn coated with Mashed Taro, Sliced Drunken Chicken, Vietnamese-style Spring Roll, Sushi 

 Abalone

Double-boiled with Chicken in Whole Coconut 

My favourite dish! This is the first time I had soup in coconut for a Chinese Wedding. The coconut meat was so easy to scrap out. Yumz!

Soon Hock

Steamed with Superior Soy Sauce 

Sea Cucumber

Braised with Black Mushroom and Beancurd accompanied with Spinach 

Chicken

with Crispy Minced Garlic 

Crystal Vermicelli and Rice Vermicelli

Stewed with Assorted Seafood 

Dessert

Chilled Grass Jelly with Aloe Vera and Fruits Baked Sweet Potato in Filo Pastry

Overall, I enjoyed their food tremendously. This was by far one of the best food that I have tasted for a Chinese Wedding. It was presented with class and when the food was served to the guests, it was warm, unlike some Chinese Wedding I have attended, the food tend to be cold by the time it reached the guests' table. 

Some shortfalls about holding weddings in the restaurant instead of the ballroom is that there are pillars and there is no fixed walkway for the bride and bridegroom to walk down the aisle. There is also no stage in front. But the exquisite food made up for the shortfall :D

Address: 2 Temasek Blvd Singapore 038982

Happy Wedding!

[Foodie] Wedding Food Tasting: Marina Bay Sands

Hello Readers!!!

A couple of months back, I had the honour to attend a Food Tasting Wedding Dinner of one of my relatives held in MBS - Sands Expo & Convention Center. We reached at 7pm at the said location for the food tasting :)

 

The dishes served were as follows ...



Cold Lobster Salad Combination

 

Sautéed Jumbo Hokkaido Scallops and Asparagus Tips in Taro Basket

 

Deep-fried Tiger Prawns with Foie Gras

 

Braised Shark's Fin Soup with King Crab and Bamboo Piths

 

Sliced South African Abalone with Seasonal Vegetables

 

Steamed Fresh Garoupa with Spring Onions

 

Crispy Chicken with Crispy Garlic

 

Braised E-Fu Noodles with Exotic Mushrooms and Conpoy

 

Yam Paste with Pumpkin and Hasma

 

Overall, the food were much better than expected. Maybe that's because I read a few unpleasant remarks on the food online. I was told that the service rendered was not bad during the actual day although there were minor hiccups but it was rectified by the manager quite promptly. It was delighting to know that MBS is working on their services.

For those who are curious how the actual day wedding looks like. Here you go... only one screen but it's big enough for all to see :D

Happy Wedding!
