香港街珍记 @ AMK, SG by ViN

first time to this shop and it seems that their food are really good as so many people standing to wait for a place to be seated. i also heard one of the auntie rejecting customer who came to takeaway.. is it really that good or not..
as there are so many people waiting, to my suprise, they served the dishes quite fast.. i think less than 15mins we already got our food. we were there to taste their fish head bee hoon.

it was served smoke hot, and from its look, its already tempting and the smell was nice too.. the milky colour of its soup and the conveyed to me that ahp didnt recommend wrongly.. it really tasted good and is thr XO added inside? i felt drunk.. wahhahaa.. joking la.. for a big bowl for 4 person, the price is only $10 which i think it is dirt cheap as there are a lot of fish meat in it. thumbs up!!!

besides that, we also ordered their prawn paste chicken which i think is much better than the one i had at thomson road. Their nan ru taste is enough and it is very crispy. The onther point i like is they are using chicken wing while the thomson road shop is using th whole chicken(damn it). It cost $12 for 10 pieces. Price still resonable.

For the vege, we ordered kailan. they style they cook is ok but i only think that $10 for this dish is a little pricy. im not only against the price for this shop only, other shops are almost the same. normally the smallest plate of vege will cost $6-8. i always think vege sold in sg is damn too expensive! maybe i should change to become carnivore.. hiak hiak..

Arnolds Chicken & Domino Pizza @ SG

one of the saturday which i worked half day, my coll treated us each a box of kfc. i brought it back home and my brother also ordered fried chicken but its from arnolds. this gave me the opportunity to compare both fried chicken.

results is arnolds chicken tasted much more better than kfc and also kfc's whip potatoes has no place to stand. i dun understand how come still so many people like kfc in singapore. y am i targeting singapore kfc only? because malaysia's kfc really tasted better than singapore's(thats my opinion la)!

besides that, they also ordered domino's pizza.. pepperoni and meatza..

eee.. i only can say they delivery is superb fast as it takes only about half an hour but their pizza neh, oledi not crispy and very soft when deliver..

茹 said that msia's domino's is not like that.. haha.. nvr try msia domino, so till i tasted it i only can comment la.. regarding their taste le.. hmm.. oklo.. wahahaha...

Yew's Cafe @ JB by ViN

I never heard of this cafe before and we changed to this location when we dont favour our first targeted place. Yew's Cafe is located at the ground floor of Menara MAA building or just beside New York Hotel which is famous for its "massage centre". haha..
As i never heard of it and 茹 never gav any compliment about their food, i actually dont have any high hopes. When reached da place, eee.. the cafe is quite big but only 2-3 tables were being occupied by customers. oh no.. a bad sign.. browse through their menu, the food looks tempting but pictures always tell lies.. ahhaa..

I ordered their special cheesy mushroom sauce chicken chop(RM21.90) while 茹 picked the black pepper chicken chop(RM23.90). The cheesy mushroom have a weird taste that im unable to describe. seems the mushroom have some flower fragrance..hahaha.. but i cannot say that it tasted bad. im still able to finish it.

for their black pepper, its actually quite nice as the sauce is not sweet de lo.. some of the black pepper sauce i just dun understand how come they make it sweet..

2 weeks ago, we visited them again for the curry chicken as previously we are very tempted when we saw our fren having it. it is really very delicious.. quite hard to find these type of curry nowadays.

the rice can be changed to nice lemak by a price of RM1. hmmm.. rice taste normal la. if u have extra money to spend for the month, pls give them a visit. it cost $12.90+15% tax.

Chronicle by ViN

a movie that i have been waiting since i ever saw the trailer but turns out to be a almost-puking session. damn it.. i just dont understand why again these directors like to use this type of shooting way. it is like a first person view and im unable to stand it as the movie keeps on shaking as the person is walking, running or even when falling. when people are very hot playing cs time, im unable to join because of the viewing angle which will made me headache and nausea.

the storyline is some teenager found a hole containing some alienatic things inside and after that obtained powers from it. one of them slowly turns evil and started killing. the others try ways to stop him but in the end, of course the evil person was eliminated. i dun understand how come in this movie, the person holding the camera will always hold it so tight until when he/she is in danger like falling of a building or when it is raining he/she still wont throw the camera away.
if you r planning to watch this movie, pls think not twice but three times.. wahhahaha

CNY Movies by ViN

Ah Beng The Movie

This was the first movie i watched during cny break. compared to the previous years movies(da ri zi and tian tian hao tian), the movie seems getting more and more boring. yeah it talk about our daily life and the things we bump into everyday but the plot of this movie seems do not have any peak. hope next year they will produce a better one. anyway, it still have a good point of this movie is to tell everybady to stop smoking.. hiak hiak
Personally i felt that, after hearing the voice of ah beng for more then a year edi, i think he ought to think to change a new pattern liau.

Steamfish @ Tampoi, JB by ViN

Tampoi is place where i always passby whenever im going back to
singapore and i never know that there is such a place where they cook
heavenly steamfish..

wahaha.. am i too exaggerate by using the heavenly word? hahaha..
maybe cant give too much high hope to all of you.. but to me a seldom
fish-eater, i almost ate up da whole fish(besides the head as i dunno
how to deal with it).. wahahaha.. actually da fish is just like a
normal home cook steam style but maybe each of its ingredients are put
proportionally, then makes the taste damn good.. maybe there will be a
point whr you will dislike it if you are a non garlic eater as the
whole fish is almost covered with fried golden crisp garlic.. to me,
its like see a pot of gold as i like fried garlic so much.. hahaha..
its a mus try dish..

besides that, we also ordered their second most wanted dish.. da mince
meat beancurd. the looks are really normal but when you have a bite on
it, ohh.. mummy's taste is there.. ahhaha.. the toufu is fresh without
any sour taste which im really scare after having a diarrhoe
experience. the gravy is a perfect match with the toufu.. again, im a
toufu lover, so with such a nice dish, how can i stand not to pay them
a second, third... visit?

the way they fry their vege also very delicious too.. this vege is called as 帝王苗. directly translate is emperor's young vege? hahaha.. i think not a lot of people will like this type of vege. they should be other type of vege too..

besides these dishes, they also served bak kut teh but so happen my stomach is too small too fill with it.. next time ba.. wat i can see, each table there was a pot of this dish.. should be not bad ba...

Valentines Dinner by ViN&Ru

Aloha.. hope everybady enjoy ur valentines.. i myself enjoyed a lot. as we all know, today most of the restaurants will be very crowded and most probably fully booked too.. so to avoid the crowd, we chose to spend our valentines dinner by cooking some easy dish at home.
our dinner was made in an hr time. and the dish prepared were spaghetti bacon&mushroom aglio olio, pan fried old english sausage & bacon with potato mushroom gravy. dont get cheated by da name as they are so long and complicated.. actually both dishes are quite simple to prepare..

Firstly we prepared the minced garlic and sliced the bacon... After that we cooked the spaghetti and potato mushroom gravy (this one is in instant pack but the taste is really not bad, forgot to take photo of the pack lol)...

Finished all the preparation and start to cook and fry la... I shall skip the steps because it's just so simple! hmm, maybe just a little tips on how to cooking the nice aglio olio
1. Pan fry the bacon.

2. Heat olive oil in a sauce pan, add garlic and chili flakes, saute the garlic until it changed to golden brown color

3. Add the mushroom and bacon, stir it for a while then add in the spaghetti

4. Season with garlic salt and sea salt, we did put some oregano leaves

5. Serve when the ingredients and seasoning are mixed evenly

Here were the outcomes of our efforts, hiak hiak

Potato Mushroom Gravy

Pan fried old english sausage & bacon

Aglio Olio

Vin & Ru wishing everyone has a great Valentine Day with your loved ones. For those who are single one, wishing you to get your Mr/Miss right soon :)

More dishes of Kim M Long Restaurant by ViN

Never tried such dish before but i can say, besides the mandolin duck, this dish also can be one of the top dish i recommend to all.. da taste is some sort like butter oats prawns but as pumpkins has a sweet taste, mixing it with the butter and oats, wah u cant even think that it will be that nice.. anyway, this dish is not in the menu.. thats the special dish from the chef.. im leaking it out to all of u..

Another dish by using pumpkin.. same style with pumpkin oats but this time the pumpkin is coated with salted egg.. wahh the taste is damn good.. i can ensure that u will lick the plate clean.. wahahhahaa.. again, its not in the menu.. both of the dishes are quite tedius to do and i dont seems to eat them elsewhere.. it is a muz have dish! yum!

Fried Sotong

As we had the same dish at Melacca Portugese settlement, everybady has the same tot that how come we go so far to have this dish yet the taste unable to outwin kim long! very crispy and it is not too salty. i would say, its sumthing not to be missed.

Dry Curry fish or so called as 金香鱼

后港清记牛肉面 by Ru

I was grumbling to my colleague that I would like to have the stew beef at Sim Place while she was on the way driving to Hougang. Then she suggested me to go Hougang to have a nice beef noodles.. OMG, one of my favourite dish!! But I doubted her taste and she asked me to try first then only comment, haha!

It was still early to reach lunch hour so there was bit quiet however my colleague said normally the crowds will start gathering during lunch hour.. I ordered the beef thick beehun soup and it costs only $4.

When it was served, it looked great and the beef portion was quite satisfactory.. After drank a spoon the soup, I was impressed as it was quite nice and tasty. Furthermore, the beef was quite tender and flavorful, not very hard to bite... thumb up!!

Although some reviews said that the standard has dropped a bit however it is still considered a nice beef noodles that I have ever tasted in Singapore.

Triple Three Cafe @ Mandarin Oriental by Ru

Sorry for the late posting of this, in fact we tried the buffet around 3 months ago but I have been lazy to update it..hehehe...ok cut the crap, straight to the point.

Heard that there was a 1 for 1 promotion ($70++ for 2 pax) for the lunch buffet at Triple 3, Vin decided to bring me here and try their foods as he got quite positive reviews online. Therefore, here we go!!!

There were some crowds after we stepped into the restaurant and we could not wait to browse through their food bars. Hmm, overall the food varierities were quite satisfactory which consisted of Chinese, Western, Japanese, Indian, Salad bar and dessert bar. And the beverages like coffee and tea were on free flow based.

First of all, we tried out their cold foods like sashimi, salads, sushi etc.. The foods all tasted fairly ok, nothing to be wow...

After that I went to the Western Cuisine bar to order my favourite Cabonnara and Vin ordered his beloved Aglio Olio. You can pick your preferred ingredients such as mushroom, squid and prawn to mix with your spaghetti. Hmm after the first taste, we were quite disappointed as it taste quite plain and tasteless...However I gave the chef a second attempt and I made a little request by asking the chef to put more cheese and sauce, and the 2nd time taste slightly better..

I would like to give compliment to the Indian chef there, the nasi beriani taste great especially their curry mutton, tasted flavorful and nice..thumb up for it

The beef taste so so only and its quite hard to bite...And we did not fancy their teppanyaki and tempura as well

Again, the Chinese cuisine did not impress me and the foods serve quite cold.. hmm, they should serve hot foods instead as this is the main criteria for Chinese cuisine..

A big cross to this Japanese cold wheat noodles, the sauce was just awful..

The curry noodles tasted okay but not for my liking, lack of the heavy curry taste...

We are not the dessert fans, nevertheless the mango cheese tasted not bad, others cake taste normal to us. Besides, I like the green tea ice cream haha

Overall, the restaurant is a fine dining place and the service there is great as the staffs there are quite fairly friendly. However I do not think we will go again if there is any promotion as I do have little disappointment on their foods.
