Ban Leong Wah Hoe Seafood 万隆华和海鲜菜馆 @ Casuarina Road

Super post dated entry – Ban Leong Wah Hoe Seafood 万隆华和海鲜菜馆 tze char at Casuarina Road is my bro-in-law’s ultimate favourite place for crabs. I find the freshness of the crabs similar to Momma Kong’s Crab Shack, but the crabs at Ban Leong are WAY bigger – check out the below pincer size! One time effort to de-shell with a lot of crab meat to enjoy with every part of the crab. I am not usually a fan of la-la but this la-la ($15) is zincy and fresh. The rest of my family loves it! Cereal Prawns ($20) are yummy – meant to be eaten whole, but I usually still de-shell it out of habit. Another one of my favourites – Chicken with Prawn Sauce ($10). Well cooked, not burnt and flavourful because of the prawn sauce. Deer Meat ($15) is also a usual suspect on our dinner table. Tender and well cooked with ginger, onion and spring onions. Both my FIL and I love vegetables, so we usually have 2 vegetable dishes. This time, we …

Nana Thai Restaurant @ Far East Plaza

After an awesome trekking trip to Nepal, we went to Far East Plaza to get my beauty fix and decided to try Nana Thai Restaurant, which is different from the one at Golden Mile. The Curry Fish Head ($28) is one of their signature dishes. It’s only one side of the fish head, but it has lots of ingredients like daopok and crispy dried bean curd skin. While the fish was very fresh, but the sauce was too coconuty for me. Still prefer the curry fish at Novena Peranakan Cuisine. Since the restaurant is Thai, also tried the Tom Yum Soup with Chicken ($10). Didn’t taste very authentic to me but spicy and sour enough. This store is more like local Singaporean tze char than Thai store. The Sambal Kangkong ($8) was very nice with mini prawn shrimps. My favorite dish! Claypot Beef Rice ($7.50) was good value and tasty, with soft and tender beef. Second favourite dish, though it tasted very Chinese and not Thai. A little pricey for tze char, but good spicy …

Wing Seong Fatty’s Restaurant @ Bencoolen Street

Accordingly to CNN, the supposedly ‘original’ Fatty Weng Cantonese Restaurant – Wing Seong Fatty’s Restaurant  – is one of the 5 best Chinese restaurants in Singapore. I heard so much about it but never tried so we decided to bring my parents one weekday night after work. This is good value for families; we had many dishes paid $77 for 4 people. However, the food reviews even among 4 of us were mixed. N liked the food, while my mum and I personally found the food generally bland. Nonetheless, this is good try for families at least once. If you prefer sublter (and i assume healthier) tastes for some of the dishes, this will be a good repeat. Personally though, only a few dishes stood out. Am going to rank the dishes by my preference! 1) Favourite – Home Made Tofu ($8) drizzled with Enoki, regular mushrooms and starchy brown sauce. I like the strong egg flavour in this crispy tofu, and the sauce was a good blend with the tofu without being overly salty. 2) …

Keng Eng Kee Seafood Restaurant 琼荣记海鲜 @ Alexandra Village – Tzechar Review

Food Quality: 8/10 Value for money: 9/10 (4 of us ate for $50!) Service: 8/10 (Food served in <5mins!) Parents-in-law are finally back in town so we went to try out this tzechar place new to us. This is a very clean coffee shop that spans across 2 blocks. One section has air-conditioning and the other which we sat in is the al-fresco coffee shop style.  This restaurant is also known for its Salted Egg Yolk Crab, but we wanted something simple, so we went for the below dishes which were overall flavourful and very good value for money. Definitely good for bringing parents and grandparents for a family meal. 1) My favourite in this meal – Mingzhu Roll (明珠卷) This is their signature dishes and it is really unique. It comprises salted egg yolk, mushrooms, ham and prawn nicely blended and fried in beancurd skin. It’s richly flavoured and oily, as you can imagine, so I started to “jelat” after 1 piece though it is very tasty. The lady ordering was smart enough to ask …
