Tian Fu Steamboat

after work today, i arranged to meet up with loh gong zai. decided to try out the Tian Fu steamboat that meina has been strongly recommending.

it is located along 214 tanjong katong road s437007.

according to meina, their food items are very fresh and she really likes it so much that she can eat it a few times a week!

noticed that over here, they have quite a variety of soup base. rather interesting ones in fact.. they even have 'premium' ones like scallop or lobster soup base.

i actually cant remember what we took but we went for the buffet...



luncheon meat was not part of the buffet (sad)... so we had to order seperately...





also ordered a side order of fried pig intestine...



wow, this is done very nicely! its crispy and quite yummy!

Juz Mookata Inc

after work, mr chua came to pick us up and marc directed us over to some ulu place in loyang. we were seriously doubtful of him on our way there whether there was really good food.

   
25 Loyang Crescent Toll Offshore Supply Base
9th Storey New Multistorey Carpark
Singapore 508988

and then we arrived...



i was pleasantly surprised by the layout. it has a ktv and pool area and seems great for small events and gatherings....



they had the option of thai steamboat and teppanyaki and we went for the teppanyaki...



chef at work....



salmon....



the salmon was with some mixed egg, it was a little sweet.

the prawns...



the prawns was with some mayo sauce. yummy!

the beef...



the beef was not bad.

then as he was cooking for another patron, i could smell it... FOIE GRAS! hehe.. and mr chua and marc ordered it when they saw how excited i looked when i guessed the smell correctly. haha..

the foie gras came with a century egg sauce...



its a big piece and its damn good!!!!!



the chicken....



and garlic fried rice...



mushrooms..



the chef...



very funny guy who is very confident of his cooking.


i highlighted to the owner Justin that it was marc's birthday and he arranged a surprise for marc....

SO CUTE!!

Beppu Ramen

swordfish sashimi...



charsiew ramen...



the charsiew is not bad but soup taste standard has dropped greatly. i think my new found love for ramen would be ramen play!

Ming Yuen Noodles Restaurant (Hong KOng)

we did dinner at Ming Yuen HK Cafe along ladies street...



recommended the claypot rice to kaizhi...





their claypot rice is not bad!

Ajisen (Hong Kong)

kaizhi was craving for some not so hongkish food so it was ajisen we went ..




i had my tontoro ramen...



the add beansprouts over here...

some sushi...



chicken karage



some takopachi thingy (that was probably on the house)



and a hot plate scallop and mushroom thingy...

Australian Milk Company (Hong Kong)

Good morning Hong Kong!

Breakfast! NEED to find the Australian Milk Company we missed the other day!
the hotel concierge gave us directions to get to the outlet near Jordan MTR...


this is the same outlet that i went with mum last year... this is a good outlet to go coz its right next to the famous wanton mee Mak's noodles!






breakfast set ...



comes with macaroni, toast, scrambled egg and a hot drink.

the macaroni is not as good as the previous time but still not bad.

THE TOAST!!!! the toast is damn GOOD! people who know me would know i seldom praise bread.. to me they are just flour and a waste of my stomach storage space.. but their toast is soooo good! i think its got to do with the butter they apply and its thick and soft yet nicely toasted.. DAMN NICE.

THEIR SCRAMBLED EGGS! again, how can something so simple be done SO WELL? haha.. really got to be one of the best scramble eggs i've ever had (in my view). I really really like it!

and of coz, how can i forget the very very smooth steamed milk...



the toast and scrambled was so good we ordered extra...



YUMMY!!

iced lemon tea..

A Lorcha (Macau)

finally, it was dinner time!

we headed to A Lorcha...

cod fish cakes...



the yummy clam soup...



the soup is really flavoursome and good.
