my 5th yu sheng this cny...but this is d most extravagant..comes w salmon sashimi and abalone..
roasted suckling pig..VERY CRISPY..& definitely fattening *lol* I only dared a bite of the skin where there's no layer of oil underneath...
mongolian-style steamed soon hock..very fresh...something different from the usual steam fish..comes with mushrooms, black fungus, 枸杞, etc...
oops sorry this is blurred..they turned the dish away just as i was snapping..dunno wats the name of this dish..king prawns w noodles..is a good combi i would say..instead of separating it into the usual 1 dish of prawns and another dish of noodles, they combined it..however dunno is cox of the cooking method or some other reasons, thou the prawns r fresh but taste quite tough. *shrugs* to me eating 1 such prawn is enough.. (tt speaks volume when im a prawn-lover and i can finish a whole dish of prawns myself)
last dish - desserts. In addition to the "chng teng", this is also part of the desserts - cereal custard muah chee and mini egg tarts...this is the best dish of the entire lunch and definitely brought it to a good ending. Love the custard muah chee..cereal coated - fragrant. Muah chee was not too sticky. U can either put the whole thing into the mouth or take a small bite of it - either one will have u caught by surprise..the entire inside is filled with warm liquid custard..bite in half, u'll see the golden custard inside tt makes u go "wooh"...everyone round the table was full of compliments for this...not forgetting the mini egg tarts...using only egg white, u can taste the eggy fragrance of it..not too sweet, yet crispy. Thumbs up for this dessert...left me wanting for more~

the cream of mushroom tasted bitter..could be due to the mushrooms used..
chilli crabs..the fried buns r very nice but the chilli sauce abit diluted and tasteless
desserts - their chocolate cake and mousse very nice...the rest = can skipLabels: Food
Claypot Brinjal - only cyk tried this (i dun eat brinjals!), apparently it shld be quite nice since after taking the 1st bite, she commented tt this is very fresh and nicely-done..
Deep-fried thai fish - came in miniature size but the crispiness was not compromised. d waitress even cut it up for us, just like at dinner banquets
sambal kangkong - given tt we were pretty impressed w their sambal chilli (smells good and really spicy!), this dish does not came out as fragrant and spicy as expected.
mushroom w brocoli - normal
fried prawns w cereals - crispy on the outside but when bite on it, does not really taste crunchy or fresh. my guess is tt most prob frozen prawns.
三杯鸡 - the chicken were sliced really thin and came as tender and juicy. Good!
hor fun w bean sprouts and sliced fish - e hor fun very well-fry-ed - 够火候
mapo tofu - not really fantastic cox of the sauce.
almond jelly - not sweet but refreshing. really homemade. Not bad.

Recommended no 1 : Spicy Mussels
Recommended no 2 : Creamy Mussels
Fish and Chips..the serving was really huge~ and mind you, the fishes were not just all about flour! Really made up of fresh thick fish fillet! Luckily we sticked to only 1 main dish.
chanced upon this "shop" while shopping..the cakes look really really tempting~ and so we decided to try some of it..came back did some research and realised that this Fruit Paradise is actually so well-received and famous!
their cakes are made up of fresh cream with lots and lots of fruits, and tarts as base..*yumz* and I read that they r low in carbs! p/s: I dun know if it's really low-fat, but well..the diet starts tomorrow!
Left to Right: Strawberry w Mango, Strawberry Chocolate, Mango, Banana Orange Tiramisu. *THUMBS UP!!!!* very very nice!!! the cake is soft and fluffy, taste is not compromised thou is full of creams..the fruits reduced the sinful feeling.. (I am still eating fruits afterall, right?!?! haha)
Add: 6 Greenwood Avenue - go try even if you dun drive and the location is pretty inaccessible..the trip will be rewarded. Rusty ambience, coupled w good food at reasonable prices and unpretentious warm service from their staff.
was given a seat at their "outdoor"..decorated like some cafe along the streets of some European cities, very nice ambience.
theme of bd dinner : head dress. *lol* I look totally like a kid in the flower headband, w my jumper pants!!!!!
the head dress we got for the birthday gal...very elegant very nice, suits her very well.
Mushroom soup..very thick soup of mushrooms, in which you can really taste the mushrooms. Taste-wise is good but bad thing is too little bits of mushrooms and the croutons came soggy.
Vongole - one of their signature pasta. Very strong taste of wine and they r not stingy on the serving size~ Alittle wasted that the pasta came abit undercooked. Apart from that, can try~
Another signature side dish : Portobello Mushroom. Deep-fried portobello w chicken bits. This is very nice without being too oily (even when cold). The mushroom did not lose its crunchyness even when soaked in sauce for some time. Good!
Their pizza is the one most worth mentioning! *yumz* We chose the large pizza (8 slices) and we could actually choose 2 kinds of toppings. So we tried their 2 signature ones, suprema and pancetta. Thumbs up for both, thou I prefer the latter (cox no onions! lol)
We ended the dinner w a mini birthday cake for the birthday gal~ Choc cake surrounded by macaroons, from Canele, my creation *smilez*
bought her the new pacer from Nike! hope she likes it..
had ice-cream @ Udders, along Lor Kilat. Not really much stomach space left after the dinner, but we went ahead still w desserts.
