Morton's Steakhouse @ Mandarin Oriental

On the night of my sundown marathon, I actually ate this.....Amazingly, I did not get indigestion from over-consumption of red meat as I thought I am susceptible to......

The red meat, is ssoooo good, but the portions are crazy big....way too big for my stomach........and the prices are not cheap......

I wish they have cheaper wines though....

The yummy french onion bread - which happens to be the size of my two year old niece's head.

Pacific Salmon - very very very fresh...I wish that I have tried the oysters there

New York Striploin - thank god, they halved it to be shared between me and my sis.....delicious, well done, potentially the best red meat chunk I had

Mac & Cheese sides - they could have done with a better cheddar!

Brussel Sprouts with Ham - I thought the sprouts are a bit too hard...

Onion Rings - this will remind you that you are dining in an american restaurant....real onions in the rings and really crispy and delicious.Only if you still have room in your stomach after the red meat deluge.

LiangKee Teochew Restaurant（亮记） @ Whampoa West

This joint is at the ground floor of my apartment, and it is always full during weekends....what more can I say.
Great delicious teochew food, also very affordable...would be great to try it as part of the teochew cooking education.

The chinese name of this restaurant.

Cold Dish - this is the traditional fare of meat prawn rolls, stir fried shark fin with eggs, fried tofu, cold jellyfish, & prawn salad ...very yummy lor.....

Yam Rice - I dun know how something with an insipid name like that can actually turn out to be sooo tasty..

Steamed Groupa - the Teochew people have a certain way of steaming fish, and the quality of the steamed fish is a good gauge of the food in the restaurant. And this fish is fresh!

The all famous braised duck and braised tofu

Stir Fried Bittergourd - this is not bad, but I think I can stir fried it pretty well too....I enjoyed the crunchiness of the bittergourd, and it is not too bitter as well.

Teochew Style Fried Rice Noodle - if you are in the know about Teochew Cuisine, this dish is one of those old school dishes that only old school restaurants do really well... Its incredibly yummy with the wok hei and amazing combi of vegetables and kway tiao....yum!

Iggy's @ Hilton Hotel

I really feel blessed for having a full ( literally) stomach for most of my meals....and with such elegant taste, and great environment and great atmosphere...and not to mention to enjoy these kind of exciting new food.

Its a very exciting cusine, with every taste being truly elegant and delicate...portions are minutiae, and very expensive, but the ambience is discreet and pleasant. Though for the prices we are paying, I suppose the ID should be much more 'oooopppphhhmmm'.

Otherwise, its a very good experience, it is mind-blowing....may not be, but certainly a great place if you are out to impress business associates, or strike some deals.

The wines there are great and not overtly expensive....

We had the degustation menu.....I rather the entrance to the resto be a little more interesting... but here goes the 6 course dinner menu

Expandable wet hankie, which I thought was a marshmallow..:P

Amuse Bouche - Tomato beer with fried river fish....nice

This is a somen salad with basil, iced stocked , chives and somen...interesting combination

Chlorophyll - this is a raw vegetable salad with edible 'soil', and nuts and a pea mousse.

River shrimps with capellini and roe. House special

Fried fish with Seared scallop and pesto sauce

Wagyu beef - cooked to perfection and yumminess

Dessert - whatever that is, I like ! Framboise sorbet

Ok, this are actually passion fruit bonbons and wasabi macarons on a bed of 'dark chocolate soil' sounds very Heston......and comes with chilli chocolate.

Beng Thin Hoon Kee Hokkien Restaurant （茗珍奋记） @ OCBC Center

Back with a vengence, because I have been seriously dining over the last few months...and really need to start recording them down...

This Hokkien food place is a rare gem that I would hesitate to share - marvellous food, great location, good ambience, no crowd, affordable prices......loved it!

This could be the epitome of Hokkien cuisine in Singapore

It apparently has a super long history, same age as my dad.

Cold dish - duck slices & jellyfish with cucumber & melon. Surprisingly refreshing with the hearty flavours of Hokkien cuisine.

Oyster Omelette - did I say this is the best oyster omelette I ever had in my entire life? Very fresh mini oysters, and fried to perfection egg & flour....really can't beat that.

Chestnut Braised Duck - it looks sort of unsophiscated, but the taste was so elegant and bursting all in once with the gaminess of duck, the nuttiness of the chestnuts and and wonderful wonderful dark sauce.

White cabbage braised with conpoy - This is soo yummy too. The cabbage is tender with waves of high grade chinese wine, i couldn't stop eating that.

Hokkien Meat & Prawn Rolls - Minimal prawns which is good for me, well seasoned and a surprise old school ingredient - liver....that makes this dish a wholly delectable one.

Hokkien Braised Noodles - this unlike the ones you get anywhere else, is very very well braised.....I can't describe the taste, but it certainly is the best in Singapore I reckon...

Braised Pork Belly meat with bun - simply old school and simply delicious.....the fatty bits melt in your mouth, and the sauce is soooo amazing...oh, did i mention my fetish for dark brown sauces....

Will be back there again to try the amazing array of Hokkien cusine!

Brotzeit @ Raffles City Singapore

Christmas dinner with mates! When dining out with men with huge appetites...its best to feed them loads of meat, and protein.......

Food here really reminded me of the belgium place i used to hang out at HK....I loved the pork knuckles...the sausages are delicious, and the schnitzel is tender & crispy...and better still, you get to wash it all down with pretty nice beer! Pretty good fun.......

Manly Menu

Home brew beer

French Onion Soup - very tasty in a hearty sotta way

Sauerkraut is so-so....but I need some veges to balance out the meal...wanted to try the spatzle the next time round

Potatoe Wedges for young growing men

Schnitzel - yummy !

Pork Knuckles & Sausages - I like the quality of the meat!

The Whole Earth @ Peck Seah Street

Lunch at the Whole Earth - its a pretty good place, though it is pretty pricy for vegs & tofu.....but my philosophy is that the simplest ingredients when finely crafted can turn into an utmost delicacy...and that skill is worth paying for....

Everybody can make foie gras taste good....but not a lot of people can make beancurd skin taste just as good....

Peranakan -Thai- Vege .....actually sounds like a strange combi

Amuse-bouche : beancurd skin fritters with seaweed. Very very imaginative & yummy too..it acts like papadum in an Indian restaurant

Pickles - delicate & yummy

Fish Head curry - vegetarian style.....so strange but loved the beancurd skin....

Again another fish beehoon that taste soooo good...that I think its better than the real deal

Also very very lurve brown rice

Ngoh Hiang - very very yummy....loved the place but prepared to pay.

Horse Mouth @ Forum Shopping Center

This was a specially discovered place when I went to dine at Uma Uma Ramen. A trap-door unveils and lo & behold....a downstairs discreet izakaya bar in the middle of Orchard Road. So I went back there to try again, and food wise, it is very good and delicate, though I think they can go a long way to lowering the prices.....coz this is not Kaiseki....its just izakaya.....Enjoyed the sake there though and the absolutely hilarious conversations with the bartenders  -'aka the dynamic duo of Orchard Road' ( self styled I presume)

Love the graphics of the menu

Grilled dried Salmon - instead of Eihire, we got this...pleasantly surprised...it retains the taste of salmon, yet with a smokey flavour not unlike jerky.

Me being the ultimate bitch - ask for glass & ceramic sake cups...to see if the sake breathes better in the unglazed bizen sake cup.

Pork Belly Skewers - this is very very well done. Absolutely yummy.

Daikon Salad -the daikon is very sweet......otherwise I though the dressing is a tad oily.

Tsukune - first time my tsukune is not on a skewer, it taste more like a broiled chicken ball. Not bad, it has a rather delicate taste.

Stewed beef with veges - this is really lovely...the proportion of fat is just right. Though a bit pricy for the type of food, it is nonetheless very delicious.

We had a cocktail......I should say, I was very very impressed with this one.

'Dynamic Duo of Orchard Road ' - youngsters nowadays....... :)

The decor was pretty amazing, and its not bad for a gathering of friends, and if you want someplace with a bit mystery.....
