Feast For Occasions

(Part of CNY Set Menu - 7 pax $488++ onwards)
The first year we dine out for the reunion meal after the demise of my 大姨 and we miss her presence on such occasions. I have take it upon me to celebrate when my 干妈 and 姨姨 for the many remaining years I can. This year we visit a more casual family fare restobar recommended to me many year ago.

I reckon that MYO prides itself in comforting Chinese fare; the highlights of our set menu were the Lou Hei, Wagyu beef and claypot Garoupa. I prefer Lou Hei with fish but the abalone was cooked softly to complement the fresh platter of fibre and carbs with a house-made fruit sauce. Then the premium and well executed wagyu beef and fish gives you the bang for your buck in this set menu.

Another comforting dish was the signature MYO claypot chicken that had braised soft chicken meat and cabbage soaked in a glistening starched broth. Excellent with plain carbs, but not too salty on its own too.

My only gripe were the slightly tough abalone on the siew mai, and pork ribs in the other dishes we had.

A friend who frequents said we shouldn’t leave without trying the coconut milk dessert here, she was right for the husk of edible delicious coconut flesh had a Hokkaido milk based pudding with peach gum that would be a great conclusion to any meal here.

While recovering from a week of good food in Northern Vietnam, we had to still celebrate Dad’s 62nd birthday in Singapore.
This year it was a drive to Sentosa to visit Fiamma for the publicised hearty Italian food from chef Mauro from 3 Michelin starred Mirazur.
You can hardly go wrong with wood fire pizzas but what we were more impressed with was the blue lobster Tagliatelle. The fresh house-made pasta cooked in a tomato confit was classic genius, a richer flavoured crustacean with tangy fresh tomato.
In the interlude between food, we also adored the bottle of 2017 Brunello di Montalcino we had because what is a birthday without wines these days 😶
Ending off I could not miss Dad’s favourite dessert and gratefully the tiramisu here sealed his birthday dinner. Excellent soaked lady finger biscuits that my amateur, though he finds thoughtful, homemade ones can never compete against; and smooth mascarpone with a good taste of Amaretto. Mamma mia~

For (self-proclaimed) bread connoisseurs like me, you really do not leave panamericana without an order of the sourdough, freshly baked and utterly satisfying. Then besides that, we continued our meal here with fun classic starters like Patatas Bravas and Charred Cauliflower Florets. The patatas bravas here are crispy potato chunks with a delicious aioli sauce and the cauliflower comes with a complementing purée and salsa.
For the mains both the well marinated and succulent Colombian chicken as well as the wood-fired chopped lamb were crowd pleasers.
The space is a 10/10 recommendation for a getaway like celebratory meal. Only caveat I’d recommend driving.

Quoting my brother’s words “Peking duck and Ee Fu noodles with duck are core memories”, to explain we had these every (school) “holidays” when my late aunt would indulge us with meals at the former mandarin orchard (MO) pine court and in more recent years, imperial treasure at paragon.
So naturally reading that executive chef Fung at Kai Garden was formerly from MO, I knew I had to come here with the maternal family. When our duck was served, I was skeptical about the variety of coloured wraps, and 5 different sauces. However that great familiar taste of crispy duck skin wrapped with fresh spring onions and cucumber was in every bite.
The lean duck meat in the braised Ee Fu noodles was completely welcomed by the palate and rekindled so many positive memories for the mind. I also thought “this taste like home” and “I miss 姨姨”.

Other than the Peking Duck and noodles, what impressed me was the impeccable standard of all the other dishes we ordered - double boiled soups, pan-seared wagyu beef cubes, 小白菜 with gingko and beancurd skin. These were chinese dishes that made me proud to be chinese.
Again another after-thought - Kai Garden should be on the list of places chinese young adults bring their elderly folks with demanding palates to.

Laughed away when my mum and godma were perplexed by the saltiness and peculiarity of the spice and flavors that yardbird’s signature wings were seasoned with. I concluded - must be the SEA Chinese tastebuds used to home cooked food.

Overall, Yardbird has a reasonable lunch break set for $36++ which includes a sandwich/salad, a side and drink. Out of all we order I enjoyed the buttermilk biscuits which were dense and lovely with the side of jam.
While the burger and fish sandwich were generously portions, the former fared better as the fish was overdone. We’d also recommend sharing amongst females, 4 of us effectively shared 3 sets and were filled.
