Used to be better - lacking in fluffiness These days .
Not many would know that the old guan hoe soon has a restaurant on the second level of Esplanade mall.
Not only is the restaurant aesthetically pleasing - the service is warm and earnest .
Was pretty surprised to find that there was an alar carte buffet ( with a huge variety of Peranakan dishes including drinks and desserts ).
And you saw right - a whole steamed promfret in Assam Sauce and no limitation on how many times you can order this dish .
The must trys are the Ayam buah keluak , Ayam goreng , Assam prawns ( fresh prawns , not the yucky crystal looking ones ), homemade otah , Hainanese pork chop , minced meat and crabmeat balls in bamboo shoot soup , butter prawns and of course the durian penyat , lemongrass jelly and the chendol .
For every 4 diners , 1 dines free . At 29 plus plus per pax ( before discount ) - how value for money is that ?
Available till end of August for both lunch and dinner - please don’t miss out .
Granted that this is not baked in a stone oven but it was still very lovely .
Crisp and thin . The best part is that it was generously adorned with a bright tasting tomato purée and then well marinate juicy Field mushrooms and topped with generous cheese and a splash of truffle .
Couldn’t quite find the pesto but this was good enough .
So good that I’d almost finish the whole pizza and that’s very rare.
Discounted with eatigo and the setting of this restaurant was just so lovely - the ambience so alluring enough to make me keep coming back .
Dark wood and natural light - the smell of parquet - just like dining at home .
Absolutely refreshing .
The umami of the crab and the creaminess of the avocado 🥑 and the sweetness of the chopped tomatoes .
When paired with warm toasted sourdough, this was faultless .
A hidden jewel within minutes of City Hall mrt in a 140 year old building .
Discounted meal with eatigo .
Was craving for a crepe and Glad that I found one freshly made to order at marche to celebrate my birthday today 😊
The crepe however was too stiff and hard and just throwing in some strawberries within the crepe didn’t help to moisten . Even the melted ice cream also couldn’t moisten the crepe so you know how hard it was . Probably having a layer of
Custard within the crepe might help .
The best part was probably the ice cream with fresh notes of strawberries 🍓 and without being too sweet .
Thankful for eatigo - so I paid 10 dollars for this .
Otherwise , 20 dollars would be quite painful to pay for something not so well executed .
$15 curry fishhead
It’s worth every effort to get to the Esplanade mall to get to this pipping hot fishhead curry.
It is on promotion now and the usual price is $26.
Though the fishhead is small and not too meaty - the gravy is very aromatic and I must say it’s one of the best currries around . The gravy is piquant and well balanced -without being too milky or oily .
Served over a flame , the curry fish head remains boiling hot throughout the meal .
There is also a fair amount of beancurd puffs assorted vegetables. It would be better for the vegetables to be first blanched before arriving at the table because the tomatoes , cabbage and the Long beans were a bit too raw to be eaten ( and had to stay submerged for a good time before we could start eating ).
Ask for the omission of the okra because there might be a chance that they would be too stiff and old - just like how those in my pot turned out to be.
There is no limitation to how many orders you can make per table so if you ask me - just order 1 pot per person . Perhaps one pot curry fish head and one pot Assam fish head .
The other dishes are passable but don’t present as much value as the fishhead .
The service is really friendly and accommodating 👍 and the restaurant is pleasant, modern and clean.
Rosti has the ability to whet most appetites -
It’s good for breakfast , lunch , dinner and tea ....
One of my favourites from marche -
Incredibly crisp on the surface and moist and buttery inside.
I am Glad that marche has survived through the ages despite how crazily retail rents are rising ... I hope that they continue to do well otherwise I wouldn’t know where to get a reliable plate of Rosti . . .
Prices are not cheap so i’d only go when there’s a good eatigo discount .
So good like home cooked ... ...
The last time I dined at fish and co was probably during my JC days so it must have been quite some ( Long 😛) time ....
Managed to wrap up some work and headed to Raffles City at 5 pm to find that fish and co is on eatigo and at 50 percent 😱....
I was craving for a good grilled salmon and where better than FISH and co ... hahahaha
I enjoyed everything on the plate ...
The dish was slightly overdone but still acceptable . I liked the pairing of fish and co’s home made vinegar chilli with the Salmon ( ask for their homemade condiments ... so good ... so was their homemade salsa )
The paella rice was well cooked , firm to the bite and tasty without being overly seasoned ....
The star of the day had to be the baked cauliflower . Baked with butter and drizzled with pesto - the cauliflower was cooked perfectly with a slight crisp without being too raw.
I will be back soon ... ....
Managed to grab a few unique bakes by Cedele at their annual fair.
Carrot walnut scones 😮, Pandan hot cross buns, chocolatey hot cross buns and pesto swirl pastry .
I couldn’t resist and conquered the Pandan hot cross buns immediately after this photo . The Pandan hot cross buns were interesting with a light Pandan aroma and had dessicated coconut bits within the buns. I enjoyed it 🤗.
I was a little disappointed of how haphazard the fair was run - they had no lack of staff but everyone looked confused and unguided.
( not discounting their helpful- ness though ... )
There were some poor vendors who were positioned at a spot where the glaring sun was relentless .....
Hope there would be a major improvement next year .
50 percent off special tonkotsu ramen on ramen day !
Ikkousha ramen remains one of my favourite places for ramen ( besides santouka ) .
And what better to have your favourite ramen at an amazing 50 percent discount as a J passport member 😋
I like how lean the tonkotsu and well cooked the tonkotsu is ( for most other ramen places , you get loads of fatty pork ) and How flavourful the soup broth is .
The added advantage are the free flow eggs and the full of umami tasting preserved vegetables .
Service is also friendly and brisk ☺️
Nothing makes me happier than being able to get my regular yakun toast set for 50cents .
Simply download the yakun app and link it to your Dbs PayLah! Account .
No gimmicks . Tried and tested . Hahahah😀
Only for selected yakun outlet so please visit yakun’s homepage for more details 😀
Champion pancakes
I vote these the best pancakes in Singapore.
Super fluffy and slightly crisp at the edges with a buttery and eggy aroma.
Pancake is served with a salted Carmel sauce and homemade blueberry jam .
The portions are so generous so please share otherwise it would be a pancake overload 😊🤗.
