This restaurant is located along Changi Coast Walk nearby where National Service Resort & Country Club is situated. It is a bit way out for those who dont drive but we understand that there is free 2-way shuttle bus services on weekends to ferry those people going to the resort chalets.
As the restaurant is facing the sea front, there are options to dine indoors or outdoors. As it was a cooling evening, we decided to enjoy the windy breeze on the outdoor front while witnessing the landing of planes in front of our view.
We have ordered the highly recommended signature dishes as recommended :
Gurame Goreng Ikan ( Fried Fish ) - their iconic fish that was deep fried to perfect golden brown that you could even eat the crispy bones. Yummy....
Sate Ayam ( Chicken Satay ) - juicy skewers of chicken thigh meat which are marinated well and grilled to excellent quality. Easy to bite off from skewers without dirtying our fingers or mouths
Udang Bakar ( Grilled Prawn ) - tiger prawns grilled in sweet sauce and sliced for easy removal of shells. Very considerate chef...prawns were fresh and springy
Tahu Kipas ( Fried Beancurb ) - Beancurds stuffed with chunky prawns and bits of vegetables before deep frying. Delicious and easy to eat for children and non spicy friends
Kangkong Udang ( Kangkong with prawns ) - vegetables were fried a bit soggy and not spicy at all but friends love it as they prefer this than those semi-raw taste by zi car stalls
Chendol ( dessert ) - not so sweet with good quality coconut milk and right amount of gula melaka syrup.
Overall, it was a good experience as staff were attentive to clear plates while we enjoy the sunset scenery.
Finding a place to sit and rest our tired legs turned out to be difficult as most of the food outlets are crowded with people standing and queuing for seats.
Spotted this relatively new restaurant that serves some variety of dim sum and food items.
Ordered the following :
- Deep Fried Mango Prawn Roll ( $5.80 ) - quite a disappointment as we hardly taste any mango. Only saw a few thin strips with small bits of prawns.
- Crispy Duck Roll ( $4.80 ) - this item is much better with the soft texture of duck meat and right sauce. It was palatable.
- Yuzu Marmite Chicken ( $15.50 ) - expensive considering that these are bite sized chicken meat but the marmite seasoning was well coated on the semi crispy meat.
- Baby French Beans with Dried Shrimps ( $12.80 ) - another expensive dish but serving was quite a big portion.
Overall, we may visit again for other dim sum items but not the dishes as most of them are over-priced for neighbourhood location.
We were quite fascinated by photos of dim sum varieties on their frontage. Since we are hungry, we dont mind to try some of their signature items.
The signboard displayed as Tea House which comes under the umbrella of Soup Restaurant. No wonder we browse through and realized that some of the food items having similar names and description as Soup Restaurant.
In the end, we decide to go for early dinner since their signature items consist mainly of dishes.
Tofu Prawns ( $18.90 ) - a bit expensive but when the dish arrived, we could see the fat and juicy medium sized prawns. That justified the price. The gravy is similar to chilli crab but abit watery.
Luffa Egg ( $9.90 ) - Luffa is related to cucumber family. Because of its smooth silky texture, it tasted delicious when fried with eggs.
Steamed Minced Pork with Salted Fish ( $10.90 ) - also a bit expensive considering this is a down to earth dish. Last to be served as their staff claimed that it will be freshly steamed and therefore, we waited almost half hour after finishing all other dishes.
Overall, dishes tasted palatable but price is on the high side. Staff consist mainly of elderly aunties which is admirable as they are friendly, polite and quick to attend to our requests.
Interior deco look retro and more like 60s concept with photos of female singers / actress hanging on the walls.
Situated in between industrial buildings, this place is not easy to locate unless you are a regular patron of their next door cafe called The Hideout.
We were quite impressed with this fusion cuisine cafe offering restaurant quality food at affordable prices. The menu displayed western food, pasta, sushi & ramen together with some side items and soups. Alcoholic drinks are also available for customers who want to chill out after a hard day's work.
We ordered a few of dishes as recommended by their young service staff and must say that the portion is big for one person.
Pan Seared Cajun Chicken Chop ( $8.80 ) - The chicken was pan fried which makes the skin crispy but the inner meat still tender and juicy. With the mildly spiced black pepper sauce, it was delicious. Generous amount of fries and fresh salad truly make this dish very filling.
Besides this, we also tried their Cajun Pork Chop ( $9.80 ) with the same black pepper sauce. We expected the meat to be tough but surprisingly, the chef has done a good job as the meat was tender and easy to chew.
Their mushroom soup is a bit watery though truffle oil was added but the garlic bread was toasted well as the butter lingers in the air when it is served in front of us.
Overall, this place is worth coming back as their variety of food is fantastic and with piped sentimental music being played while we enjoyed our food, it does bring back old memories.
This casual dining outlet is located at one small corner of Raffles City basement. Anybody can easily walked pass without noticing if you have no craving for dim sum. We have a hard time trying to find the location as it happened to be a busy and crowded weekend.
We ordered some of their signature items such as :
1. Deep Fried Porcupine Bun with Red Bean Paste ($6.30 for 3 pcs)
The outer crust is crispy with inner lining soft and fluffy. The not-so-sweet red bean filling is just nice for our taste buds.
2. Deep Fried Shrimps Mango Roll ($7.20 for 3 pcs) - A little high priced item but the sweet fresh mango strip goes well with the succulent prawn which was top coated with sesame seeds.
3. Lean Meat Congee ($9.30) - We opt for this porridge without the century egg. The congee was smooth but a bit watery after a few stirs. True to HK style, it has a special aromatic taste.
4. Baked BBQ Pork Pastry ($5.00 for 3 pcs) - When we sliced to share, the crust broke into small bits. We can only eat the generous BBQ meat fillings.
4. Triple Combination BBQ Meat ($24.00) - this is by far the best dish. The BBQ pork (char siew) was grilled to perfection with bits of burnt parts and small areas of fats. The surface of roast meat was super crispy and we could hear cracking sounds when we chewed each piece. The roast duck was well marinated with sweetness and the meat was moist and juicy.
Overall, this place offers good environment and good food but prices are considerably high as compared to other dim sum restaurants. Service was good with attentive staff refilling our tea and water.
