Located at the Burlington Square facing the famous Sim Lim Square (well known for IT gadgets to many), it is not hard to located this eatery at all. Wing Seong Fatty is another eatery that is handed over from one generation to another. The place is quite popular with tourists (Wing Seong Fatty is actually featured in Qantas 's inflight catalog as one of the must-try food!) but they do not do carrot chopping as their price is very reasonable.

they serve mainly Cantonese style zi char ( i wouldnt say tradditional Cantonese food as some of the food there are not Cantonese and they are catered for the local flavors). The way of cooking and preparing the food is toward Cantonese style though.

Opening hours:
Mon to Sun: 1200 - 1430, 1700 - 2210

Here is a list of the food we tried for the night


their jumbo spring rolls ~ $3 each. As you can see. the spring rolls is filled with alot of ingredients which is why is call jumbo spring roll. The crispy skin adds on to the crunchy feeling for each bite! you can eat it with their spring roll dip or without. i prefer the latter as i love the original taste!

Fried "Kway Teow" with gravy ~ $14 (Large) . This dish sets a little disappointment in me. Perhaps i am too used to the common zi char style. The Kway tiao must been stirred fried until alittle bit chao tah before adding the gravy on top. However, credits are given to the fresh ingredients in this dish! 

Belachan Fried Rice ~ $14 (Large) . The fried rice is pretty good except i dont taste any belachan at all. The fried rice is not dried and it actually make me go for a second serving!

Chicken in Prawn Paste ~ $22 (Large) . this dish sets me thinking that it is different from the rest of the Har Jeong Kai ( chicken in prawn paste).  nevertheless, the chicken is very crispy and yet not oily! 

Homemade bean curd ~ $22 (Large) . This is my favourite among all. Homemade bean curd is commonly seen in zi char stall / eateries now. What make this dish so special i would say the "zap" aka the sauce that goes with it. 

Fried Prawn with Oats ~ $37 (Large). The prawn balls i would call it. they are de-shelled prawns which makes it easier to eat as compared to those that are cooked with shell. However, i misses the crispy shell taste as i prefer to eat it as whole (including the shell). The oats is specially blend as i can taste some fried shredded coconut in it ( i hope my taste bud is correct lol). Sadly this dish does not appeal to me as i feel that there is an "dis-engage" with the oat and the prawn.

Black pepper beef ~ $22 (large). this is another dish that is consider my favourite. The beef is very tender and not overly "peppered" although you see the dish is full of pepper. lol 

Sweet and Sour Pork ~ $22(large). Huge chunky pork only. no deep fried flour. this dish is pretty good except i feel the pork is alittle too tough.

Fried vegetables with meat ~$16 (large).  This dish is really good and according to the boss, this dish is cooked using their own "secret" recipe.

this is actually the second time i got "jammed" at Bangkok jam. Pretty fascinated with what they serve on their menu and their dishes presentation. especially their funky use of cutleries (bowls in weird funky shape). Food wise, i would say is pretty good. of cos there are some wows and some boos for me.

Thai Fish cakes @ $9.50. Not very strong in the coconut milk taste, not very spicy for me too. but i find they are pretty stingy with their thai chilli sauce. of cos, if i request for more, they probably will give me more.

stirred fry minced chicken with basil @ 11.90 bucks. this dish gives me major wow. the chicken meat is very soft and for the start, i thought it is pork haha.

Green curry chicken @ 12 bucks. this gives me a boo. i dont quite like their green curry chicken. lack of the coconut milk taste i feel although the chicken is pretty tender and soft

fish maw soup @ 9.90 bucks. i quite like this soup but i think there are alot of MSG inside so it is pretty artificial taste to me. haha. but overall, the chef is pretty generous with the fish maw.

Seafood in clear tom yum. dont really find it special but taste pretty ok to me.

kailan with salted fish @ 10.50 bucks. it is pretty weird as this dish cost more than my fish maw soup haha. i give this dish a super wow too. not too over with the salted fish.

overall the food is pretty expensive i feel. we spend 73.80 bucks for 6 dish and out of it, the most expensive dish is actually the green curry chicken which is the louder boo for me. however, the rest of the dishes are pretty good. =)

Overly excited over this super value deal that i wish to share here!

Yes! for $19.80++, you get to eat peking duck, their xiao long bao, abalone soup and their spinach beancurd!!!  super worth it!

this is not the first time i dine in Mouth restaurant hehe. I find their dishes are pretty decent and reasonably price especially this set lunch meal.

we ordered their flower tea which is good for health!tea is not included in the set menu

xiao long bao. i love their xiao long bao. very juicy with soup! the skin is pretty thin.

spinach toufu. i love this dish very much! the toufu is crispy from the outside but soft on the inside

peking duck. pity they use those egg roll skin wraps..else it will b very nice as the sauce is very good

Sound exaggerating? Nope. Last Sat i was fed with the finest japanese cuisine that it sent me straight up to cloud nine + tears streaming down from my eyes...it is too delicious that words cannot best describe my feelings except i tempt you with all the food pictures i took last Sat. muahahaha.

You must be trying to think where i was last Saturday? haha.

Teppei Restaurant
1 Tras Link #01-18 Orchid Hotel Singapore 078867
Tel : 6222 7363
Lunch ( Mon- Fri : 11:45am - 2:30pm) Dinner : (Mon - Sun : 6:30pm - 10:30pm)

The restaurant is opened by Yamashita Teppei. During lunch time, they serve bento sets and other japanese dishes ( my friend tells me that is super good too) but at night, they serve omakase. and yes! I was there for their Omakase muahahaha

So what is Omakase?
‘Omakase’ simply means “I’ll leave it to you”. The chef decides entirely what you eat, beginning with the lightest starters, proceeding to the richer dishes and ending with a dessert. At Teppei, you would be given some choices, for example between rice or noodles. 

Their Omakase is priced from 50 upto 85 bucks per set. Trust me, it is really worth every single cent. and Yes, it is a counter only restaurant that can sit up to 20 pax at one time only so there is a waiting Q that you need to join. for your info, the reservation list is fully taken up until end of this yr and you will need to book for next yr slot already! since we are there, we opt for the most expensive one la..

Overall,
Food : **** ( out of 5)
Price : *** ( comparing to the type of food we ate that night, it is super value for money!)
Customer Experience : *****

As the name of the place says "Sik Wai Sin"(Cantonese) in English is Eat comes first. With no physical menu, all menu is up on each waitress/ waiter 's mind and only 8 different dishes available. It is not easy to WOW many people nowadays and yet, the sincerity of the chef and the skills of preparing the dishes touches each and everyone's heart that draws crowd to this eating house.

Located at the street of Geylang , it is not too difficult find the eating house. The eating house has been there for a long time and it has been passed down to the second generation from the old chef himself. Now the 2 younger chef are in charge of the kitchen now. with no secret recipe, all home cooked style of food, it really gives one the homely feel. nothing special, just home cooked food. full stop.

i m very honoured to attend this food tasting session with Openrice and out of the 8 dishes, we tried 5 dishes that day! overall, there are some WOW and some Boo for me la. but i can there are more WOWs than Boo for me. =)

Dish 1 : Watercress Pork Ribs Soup ($12) . Cantonese are very famous for the soup. they love soup for dinner and they are very good in brewing soup too. The pork ribs are so well cooked that you can see that the meat is very soft ( all become pieces) when you scoop up the meat and veges together.

Prawns with Tofu ($20)- This is my favorite dish of the night. The toufu is really soft despite that it is deep fried.  the prawns are huge but sadly i feel that it is overcooked as the meat is pretty tough. the "zap" aka the sauce is very good and taste good with just a bowl of plain rice.

Minced Pork with
Salted Fish ($12) - this is a very old school dish but still, eating at Sik Wai Sin makes it so refreshing. Why? The pork is very smooth and the salted fish is not too much to the extend that it covers the taste of the pork. although it doesnt give me the WOW, but it reminds me of home cooked food.

Sliced Beef with
Kailan ($20) -  Cooking beef needs alot of skills especially if it is overcooked, it taste very hard and if it is undercooked, the meat will be super bloody and probably even the veges that comes with it will taste  of the blood. This dish apparently is my 3rd fav, second to the minced meat with salted fish. The beef is thinly cut and not overcooked however, the beef is too big for one mouthful bite ( i prefer it smaller).

The place to me is super far as it is located at the extreme east side of Singapore. The location is also quite ulu and it turns quite creepy at night especially if you park your car further down the road. overall the food taste so so only but super value for money! of cos, i wouldnt want to go there again unless i am somewhere near the area la.

cheesy enoki / shimeiji @ $9. a very cheesy dish to me. lucky for me, i dont get all ger lat after eating it. i guess probably eating small portion of it is ok but not all of it.

cream of mushroom @ $4.90 i like this. the strong taste of mushroom and yet not too creamy for me. and you can find small chunks of mushrooms in it.

tenderloin steak @ $23.80. the portion is huge and the beef is quite good actually but sadly, nothing special to mention about. =(.

Met up with a group of friends for dimsum on a late sat morning. Peony Jade is located at Keppel Club. It is the second branch in Singapore. The first one is located at Clarke Quay. Peony Jade is specialized in serving Cantonese / Sze Chuan cuisines.

this is my first time to their restaurant and this is my feedback!

Food : *** ( Must try their signature dim sum! my fav will be their taro steam pork ribs and their pandan custard bun!)
Price : *** ( price is quite reasonable. per pax is about 30 bucks and we ordered hell lots of food and there is a promotion for OCBC and Standard Chartered Credit card holders)
Customer Service : *** ( Super friendly staff who will offer to recommend signature dishes when we cant make up our mind on what to order)

Will i come again? definitely!

Here are some pictures of what we ordered!

ok something worth mentioning here will be also their QQ dimsum! they are famous for their dimsum that is made into cute animals!

little cute white rabbits are made of mashmallows and covered with shredded coconut meat. very innovative!

some other QQ dim sum...

Located at the new Punggol waterway next to the golf driving range. A small zi char stall. The area is really pretty small and the owner actually set up those like temporary tent to accommodate more tables for customers. The restaurant actually has been opened for quite sometime and i have been there a couple of times for dinner already but yet blog about it.

The food is pretty ok for selective dishes and the price is quite reasonable too. I wouldn't say all the dishes are good but it is actually subject to individual's taste buds la. like for example : some dish i will find the taste so so only but LL will love the dishes like crazy and will repeat order it each time we go there for dinner.

well, here are some of the dishes we had..

their specialty pork ribs. i find it so so only. seriously i dont really like the pork ribs tat much as i feel there is nothing special about it and it taste very peppery to me.

Chinese spinach broth. sadly, this doesnt give me a thumbs up but a down. the spinach is pretty old ( i got very high expectation for this dish as i love chinese spinach and very particular over the way how it is cooked). the broth also doesnt give me the wow feeling.

their home made toufu. this dish to me is ok. except i think it is a little over fried cos abit chao ta on the sides. or perhaps my mum has done a better job haha.

their fried mee sua. ok, this is the dish that i love whenever i go there for dinner. not too oily and the mee sua doesnt taste like "expiry fried food". means they use fresh oil to deep fry the mee sua before frying it

Radish omelette. the egg is pretty soft but sadly, i dont taste much of the cai por lo

ginger fry venison. the sauce is pretty good to go with plain white rice. the venison is also not overcooked. worth the try

Tom yam..i think this is probably the only dish that set LL into disappointment haha. to me, i find it ok and not too bad. he feels it doesnt really hav the "tom yam" taste..but it is hard to expect a zi char stall to cook thai dishes that really taste like thai dishes la hor?

overall
Food : ** 1/2
Price : **
Customer service : ** 1/2 ( i dont really like the staff there but i give a 1/2 more cos they help me to put mosquito coil when i request for it)

Btw, did i mention that there are alot of mosquitoes there? lol. if you are there for dinner and afraid of commandos  you can request for mosquito coils =)

I am so in love with cushion BB nowadays! it has become my favourite makeup product and i am using it everyday for sunblock, light makeup for weekends and even my daily office makeup base! I previously did a review on Laneige snow bb soothing cushion lor -> http://princessmic80.blogspot.sg/2013/05/review-laneige-snow-bb-soothing-cushion.html

now i m bk for more! this time i try eTude's 6 in 1 cushion BB and the compact powder! i must say 2 words! MAJOR LOVES

Reviews on BB cushion

the cushion house is slightly bigger as compared to Laneige's and is easier to blend on to my face. the color tone although there is only 2 type but it matches much better for me than Laneige ( more more natural. Laneige one still abit off color if i put on a foundation base ) and provides more coverage. Overall, i prefer this than Laneige now. lol.

next for their compact face powder.

this is another my favorite product as compared to my chanel powder pact. lol. the powder is very light and easy to put on. it doesnt give the chalky feeling and looks very natural on my skin tone. it also covers up my pores and set the makeup nicely. it also controls oil much better as my face only gets oily after 1-2 hrs than normal 1 hr. it doesnt oxides easily too!

so thats the end of my 2 recent products i purchase from eTude house! love it! ending the post with a picture of me using the 2 products only.
