Greenwood Fish Market And Bistro

5 Apr :: Sunday :: Evening

It has been a while since I last updated the blog. Due to increasing workload, I have not had much time to go out and enjoy… until yesterday.

Yum yum

 Brief Description

Greenwood Fish Market & Bistro provides seasonal fresh seafood served western style. Among the favourites are the oysters and salmon. Their staff are always on hand to recommend off-the-menu catch of the day and recommend ways how your food should be cooked.

 The food

I had the Hot Seafood Platter. On the menu, if I remember correctly, it was written that I would have a lobster, calamari, baby octopus salad, Littleneck clams, green-lipped mussles, oysters, fish baguette and grilled prawns. 

What I got was half a grilled lobster, Crab claw salad (substitute for the grilled prawns & octopus), Littleneck clams cooked in white wine garlic sauce, green-lipped mussles, grilled buttered oysters,  calamari and grilled fish skewers.

 Review

1) Lobster – The grilled lobster was fresh and succulent. The flesh is easy to remove and retains the original sweetness and juiciness.

2) Calamari – Greenwood Fish Market’s calamari is well-known. The calamari is cooked to the right degree, where the meat is cooked but not elastic. Tastes heavenly with the tartar sauce.

3) Crab claw salad – A cold dish which retains the sweetness of the crab claw. The salad is tossed with just the right amount of balsamic vinegar, making it a good companion to the cooked spread.

4) Littleneck clams & Greenlipped Mussles  - Nice

5) Buttered oysters – The oysters are cooked with shallots and was not overly buttery.

6) Grilled fish skewers – Assorted fish meat was used for the skewers. Some of the meat were a bit tough and a tad tasteless when eaten alone. But together with the capsicon and tartar sauce, was quite okay.

I’ve been here at least 4 times before. While the seafood is fresh, there’s always a sense of incompleteness in me after the meal.  The upside is that Greenwood Fish Market also serves desserts such as creme brulee. Do remember to share your food with your companions to leave room for desert.

There is no discount for dinner. For the hot platter, the bill comes to S$93/2 pax inclusive tax. Quite a good deal considering the lobster and crab claw.

 What to try

 For those who have yet to try out the food, there are discounts for lunches and daily specials such as $1 oysters on Tuesdays (with every main course ordered, limited to 12 per person, last I heard).

Barnacles Restaurant & Bar

17 Oct :: Friday :: Evening

It’s been a while since my last review. I’ve been too caught up with work, but no fear, I’ve still been trying out food, just lacked the time for reviews.  Here’s a back-dated review of Barnacles Restaurant & Bar.
To celebrate my SO’s birthday, I decided to surprise her with a trip to Sentosa, to dine by the sea. After some research, I decided on Barnacles Restaurant & Bar, at Rasa Sentosa.

 Brief Description

Barnacles Restaurant & Bar provides an enjoyable dinner by the seaside, filling the night with sea breeze from the South China Sea. If alfresco dining is not your cup of tea, there’s always indoor dining under soft ambient lights.

Barnacles is at one end of Sentosa. Driving there, turn right at the first roundabout upon entering Sentosa and religiously keep driving straight, towards Siloso Beach. Parking is available at the beach or if you’re lucky, you can score a parking lot near Barnacles at Rasa Sentosa.

Sentosa Entry Fee is redeemable from Barnacles, but do remember to request for a receipt when entering Sentosa. No receipt, no redemption.

Review

I chose an outdoor seat by the sea, hoping to catch the transient evening light. However, once the evening passed into night, it was actually quite irritating to have the spot lights shining at you… time to move into the restaurant itself.

The restaurant interior is quite cosy. The lights are soft and calming.

Since we weren’t really hungry (damn the tea break cookies), we ordered a crab salad, a grilled meat & seafood skewer and the famous yin yang (toted as one of the top 20 appetisers in Singapore).

The food

Complimentary bread was provided. Toasted to a slight warmt, the bread was an excellent start to the meal.

1) Crab with Avocado Salad. The avocado provided the yummy creamy texture, bringing out the sweet and succulent crab meat. Mixed with their famed chili crab sauce, the dish was a great start to the meal.

2) Yin Yang (Wok-Fried Honey Baby Squids & Mayonnaise Prawns). The baby squids were yummy and went well with the thinly sliced cucumbers, which formed the ‘S’ in the Chinese yin yang sign. The prawns were sweet and fried to just the right degree.

3) Grilled Meat & Seafood Skewer. To be honest, I didn’t quite like this dish. The fish meat seemed overcook and tasted a tad too ‘fishy’ for my liking. The prawns was okay, but wasn’t as nice as the yin yang mayo prawns. Overall, was a bit disappointing considering how I enjoyed the earlier two dishes.

Since it was my SO’s birthday, the restaurant provided a complimentary slice of blackforest cake and a glass of white wine. I’ll gladly pay for the cake. It was moist and wasn’t too sweet. Kudos to the staff again for their ability to make the guests feel special.

What to try

Looking around at other tables, I decided that on my next visit, I’ll try the Seafood Platter on Ice and the Chili Crab.  Probably you should, too.

Imperial Herbal Restaurant & Tcafe

7 September 2008 :: Sunday :: Dinner
Vivocity is home to numerous restaurants, many of which provide a scenic view of the sea. A wide variety of restaurants are available, from the economical Chicken Rice Shop to the higher end Tung Lok Signature for those with refined taste-buds.

Of all the restaurants, Imperial Herbal Restaurant stands out for providing healthy and exotic cuisine. Scorpions, crocodile meat and ‘Hai Tang Lang’ (loosely translated as Sea Praying Mantis), Imperial Herbal is definitely not for the weak-hearted.

I’ve been here once. Funny thing is, I don’t have much recollection of the food. I do remember the scallops being wonderful and the Sea Praying Mantis (whatever this is) looking all cockcroachy and disgusting (at least to me).  

Brief Description:

Imperial Herbal prides itself in providing a unique dining experience where a resident herbalist is on hand to provide the best recommendations for adding the ideal herbs to the meal. Dishes are infused with chinese herbs to improve health and excite taste-buds. What’s interesting is also the cushion seats which are shaped as a palm.

Review

Enough of the weird food, we (4 of us) stuck to the normal food. 

1) Beggar’s Chicken. This seems to be one of the more popular dishes. First impression is that the chicken is well cooked in a herb infused gravy, which is good, considering the amount of nourishment I need to cope with my hectic work life.  As like most herbal chickens, the meat is well-cooked and easy to tear. Though a fair amount of herbs have been added, there isn’t a strong herbal smell. The meat is average but the gravy is wonderful. Point to note, the gravy goes well with plain rice. Nothing to shout about though.

2) Glazed Scallops. The scallops are served in a potato (I think) basket, with seaweed and savory sauce. This is the second time I’m enjoying this and it’s still as good as I remembered. The scallops and tangy and the seaweed is crisp and tasty. Definately a must try.

3) Fried Fish with ‘Rose’ Petals. When the dish was served, we realised….. that there are no rose petals?! After clarification, we are told that they have replaced rose petals with lily bulbs as rose leaves a bitter taste. Other ingredients include kiwi and celery. In all, the dish leaves a refreshing taste, with the kiwi providing the fresh sweet-sourish taste with the lily providing the fragrance. Definitely worth a try.

4) Yam Mooncake. The pastry mooncake comes with/without york. The price difference is a mere S$0.50.  The flaky exterior complements the smooth fragrant yam. While not exquisite, the mooncake is worth a try. Do note that purchase of mooncakes is solely by cash terms only.

5) Lycee Black Tea. No Chinese dinner should go without Chinese tea. We had the lycee black tea, which is fragrant yet provides a relatively strong after-taste. 

In all, after a 15% discount with Amex, the bill comes to about S$25/pax. Price-wise, it’s quite worth it. However, the service was quite bad. We had to constantly wave our hands to catch the attention of the service staff. To be fair, we were seated quite near to the entrance, but I firmly believe that no decent restaurant should allow their guests to be flapping their hands like a headless chicken just to ask for a refill of the tea. While the food was definitely above average, the same cannot be said about the service. Disappointing.

Greenhouse

15 August 2008 :: Friday :: Dinner

 It has been around 9 months since I last dined here with my significant other (SO). All we remembered from the last time round was the sight of a pile of boiled red lobsters behind the counter, inviting queues of diners to savour. Oh yes, they also served a relatively wide selection of fresh seafood. In order to mark our anniversary, ‘we’ decided (actually I was the one who’s more enthusiastic) to pamper ourselves at Greenhouse again -> Greenhouse

Brief Description:
While buffet dinners offer an international spread, the main attraction are the delectable fresh seafood available. Lobsters, scallops, oysters, prawns, crabs and much more.

Review

Being a Friday night, I made a reservation just to be sure. The lady who answered the call was helpful and polite, the service expected of a 5 star hotel.

Upon arrival, we were left standing at the counter for a few minutes before we were attended to. I suppose this is something that can be improved, since the restaurant wasn’t even half-full. After requesting for 2 glasses of iced-water, we quickly made our way to the food counter, eager to see what is available.

For round one, I went for the cold dishes. I took raw oysters, flower crab, sashimi, steamed prawns and lobsters.

1) Sashimi. The sashimi on offer are salmon, tuna and yellow tail. A chef was on hand to prepare the sashimi and arrange them nicely on little plates (probably to avoid having diners taking to large a serving). The quality served was above average, comparable to the finer local japanese restaurants. The slices were just nice, and doesn’t fall apart when you put them in your mouth.

2) Raw Oysters. I like my oysters raw and uncomplicated. With a dash a lemon and tabesco, the oysters were a great start to the dinner. They had none of the heavy zinc taste and were firm and juicy.

3) Flower Crab. Boiled and then iced, the fresh sweetness of the crab meat was locked in and you can almost taste the sea with each mouthful. The crabs were meaty and tastes equally good plain or with a touch of soy sauce. My SO actually went crazy over it.

4) Steamed prawns. My SO wasn’t enthuasiastic about the prawns. The meat of the tiger prawns was succulent but I guess somehow, they weren’t as sweet as expected.

5) Lobster. The boiled lobsters are served in halves, along with a claw. The lobsters are cooked just right, and easy to shell. The freshness of the lobster is apparent when you bite into it. The meat is succulent and sweet. Just the lobster alone is worth the price of the buffet!

Round two was for hot food.  I went for braised pork, braised chicken drumstick, duck, skewered sword fish, steamed fish and mutton.

1) Braised pork. I felt it was quite average. Though tasty, it didn’t really excite me.

2) Duck. The duck tasted good. The meat was cooked just about right and the flavours were well locked in.

3) Skewered swordfish. The swordfish came in sticks with green capsicum. The fish alone is quite salty when taken alone but when paired with green capsicum, it was wonderful.

4) Steamed fish. It seems to be that steamed fish is becoming quite the common dish for buffets in recent times. My last visits to Fairmont and Ellenborough both had steamed fish available. Thus, I wasn’t surprised to see that this was also offered at Greenhouse, though size-wise, it acutally pales in comparison to the former 2 restaurants. Taste-wise, it was average. Definately not as tasty as the one offered at Fairmont.

5) Mutton. The mutton was average, nothing to shout about, really.

6) Braised chicken drumstick. I felt the drumstick was overcooked. The meat wasn’t as tender as what I would’ve liked.

7) Drunken prawns. The special of the day was drunken prawns. Each table had a tripod set up. The unfortunate part was that I had to ask the waiter what the tripod was for. The drunken prawns tasted a lot more herbal than drunken. Don’t get me wrong, the prawns taste excellent, just that I’m not sure if it should be called herbal prawns rather than drunken prawns. I suppose it would have been more well-recieved if he staff told me what the day’s special was before I had to even ask. Lesson learned. Ask for the day’s special or you may end up losing out on something nice.

Round 3. Desserts

Chocolates, mango with pomelo, Aloe vera.

Round 4. Fruits. By now, my stomach is starting to test the limits of my belt. Rather than having my belt bailing out on me, I decided it was time to give the rest of the spread a miss and head on to the desserts.  I took jackfruit, peach, persimmon and grapes. The fruits are sweet and juicy, especially the peach. definitely worth the sampling.

 Round 5. Ice cream. Who can resist ice-cream? A decent range of the choices is available : Chocolate chip, Strawberry sorbet, Pistachio, Lemon sorbet and Maple and walnut. I decided to try the sweet maple and walnut and pair it with the refreshing lemon sorbet.

The maple and walnut is sweet but average. Definitely not as good as the one you can get from Baskin Robbins. The lemon sorbet however, is definitely above average. It is refreshing and neither too sweet nor sour.  

Final Round. English Breakfast Tea. After such a heavy meal, we asked for some hot tea to help in the digestion. It is indeed enjoyable to be able to enjoy sipping some nice hot tea while listening to live classical music while replaying the food which has just been savoured.

The bill came to about $85/pax (It’s $72/pax plus the customary taxes). Luckily, there was a promotion for UOB credit cards. After the 15%discount with the UOB signature card (15% for Platinum & above, 10% for Gold & Silver cards), the final bill was $72/pax. All in all, a satisfying meal. Though rather costly, the quality of the seafood made it all worthwhile.

Seri Nyonya

28 July 2008 :: Monday :: Dinner

After working hard (till 1am almost daily) for the past 2 months, I’ve decided on a break by going to Malacca with my family and SO over the National Day weekend. What better way to show my patriotism to other dear neighbours other than engaging in 2 of Singapore’s favourite pastime – shopping and eating. Since this post is about food, I’ll leave out the shopping part.

Food in Malacca is cheap and good. At Markota Parade, where most Singaporeans will visit in Malacca, Kenny Rogers and The Chicken Rice Shop serve great food at half the price (as compared to their Singapore outlets). In fact, the quality of their food over in Malacca seems better, probably due to better quality chicken?

In any case, I’ve been to Malacca quite a number of times, almost an annual pilgrimage, for the past 5 years or so. This time round, I made it a point to try the peranakan food. Peranakan food or Nyonya food, is a delightful mix of Chinese & Malay influences. Typical peranakan food are tangy and aromatic and normally consists of belachan, coconut, lime and other spices. You can read more about Peranakan cultere at Wikipedia -> Peranakan Culture.

Malacca has a couple of places famed for its Nyonya cuisine. Due to lack of time (too much shopping to do), I’ve settled on Seri Nyonya, a Peranakan restaurant at Hotel Equatorial, where I’m staying during the trip – > Eating places at Hotel Equatorial Malacca. Btw, Hotel Equatorial gives each room RM88 to spend within the hotel each day, Seri Nyonya inclusive.

 

 Brief Description:

Seri Nyonya promises Indulgence in authentic Peranakan cuisine in a traditional Peranakan house setting.

 

Review

The table was also set in a traditional manner, with metal cups instead of glasses (you can see it in the picture of the dishes).

We ordered Kuah Pie-Tie, Soup Mee Suah(Wheat flour vermicelli soup), Ayam Goreng Nyonya (Fried marinated chicken), Nyonya Ikan Tempra(Fillet of fish with fresh chilli, onions, soya sauce and lime juice), Udang Sambal Petai(Fresh succulent prawns fried in aromatic paste with petai and fragrant wild bean), Kangkong Goreng Belachan (Fresh green “Kangkong” fried with dried shrimps and chilli paste) and Taufoo Seri Nyonya (Egg beancurd fried with minced chicken meat and bean paste) .
 

1) Kuah Pie-Tie. This is a yearly dish my mom will prepare during the lunar new year. It is always received with much salivation by friends and relatives. For the uninitiated, Kuah Pie-Tie is a traditional Peranakan dish. A crispy ‘cup’ made of dough is used to house steamed eggs and vegetables such as carrots and turnip and are best paired with watery chilli sauce. Often, the downfall to this is that the ingredients are often served with too much gravy, making the cup soggy. For this dish, Seri Nyonya gets the two thumbs up. The chilli is not too spicy and provides a wonderful balance to the sweetness of the steam vegetables. IMHO, this dish is a must try.

2) Soup Mee Suah. Mee suah is another personal favourite of mine. Seri Nyonya serves it with prawns, fishballs and fish cake with a touch of chopped spring onions and shallots. The mee suah itself is tangy and the soup was tasty. I was a bit put off by the shallots which ended up making the soup a bit on the oily side, but in all, quite an enjoyable dish.

3) Ayam Goreng Nyonya (Fried marinated chicken). The marinate is good. It was unfortunate that most of the dish is chicken breastmeat rather than thigh, which happens to be the opposite of what I’ll rather have. For chicken breastmeat lovers, this should be a nice dish to savor.

4) Nyonya Ikan Tempra(Fillet of fish with fresh chilli, onions, soya sauce and lime juice). If you ever try this dish, do remember to mix the dish well first. This dish is more appropriate for an appetizer rather than a main dish.

5) Udang Sambal Petai(Fresh succulent prawns fried in aromatic paste with petai and fragrant wild bean). Nothing fantastic about this dish though.

6) Kangkong Goreng Belachan (Fresh green “Kangkong” fried with dried shrimps and chilli paste) . I was a bit disappointed to be honest. I was expecting something a lot spicer, but on hindsight, the restaurant probably toned down the spice level to cater for the international guest.

7) Taufoo Seri Nyonya (Egg beancurd fried with minced chicken meat and bean paste) . While the chicken meat a bit on the tough side, the egg beancurd is soft and has a smooth silky texture.

For dessert, I had Chendol, to complete the whole Peranakan experience. Chendol at other parts of Malacca are extremly heavy on the brown sugar, but probably to cater for the international guest (as above), the brown sugar is toned down. This actually suits my palettes more. I would recommend a nice bowl of chendol to finish off an above-average meal at Seri Nyonya.

The total bill came to RM35/pax. Works out to be around S$14/pax. Quite a gd deal.

Cathay Restuarant

02 August 2008 :: Saturday :: Dinner

Brief Description:

Located on the 2nd floor of The Cathay, once renowed as the finest Chinese restaurant in Singapore in the 1940s, Cathay Restaurant serves Chinese food since it reopened in 2007.

Review

I’ve been hearing reviews from some that the food here is delicately prepared and delicious, yet affordable.  After hearing about the 1-for-1 set menus, I decided to pay a visit to it with my gf’s family. Although it was a Saturday night, the restaurnat was relatively quiet… probably around 60% full at most. We were seated quite quickly but was disappointed that the waitress did not bother asking us for our tea preference after seating us. Hmm… poor service to be expected? After waiting for 5 mins, we decided to stop waiting and request for the tea menu. Tea choices are nothing spectacular, and consists of the usual Pu’er, Oolong and Jasmine.  We were only give the ala carte menu. Only after asking about the 1-for-1 promotion (a large sign was displayed outside the restaurant) were we given the menus.  We went for the special set, which includes a pair of Cathay movie tickets.

Food took around 20 minutes to arrive. Food was served abruptly without much explaination. The good point is that the waitresses do take note of when to serve the dishes.

First up, 1) Double boiled Shark Cartilage with Winter Melon. The soup looks watery but leaves a thick aftertaste. The soup was average at most. In fact, the majority of the family members left the soup unfinished.

2) Fried prawns with Wasabi Sauce in Golden Bow.  Since I don’t enjoy wasabi, I was apprehensive about the dish. I was plesantly surprised at how the wasabi sauce tasted. The sauce is especially mayonaise mixed with wasabi. The prawns were fried right and wasn’t dry. The sauce went well with the prawns, but sadly, the golden bowl was a disappointed.  It was just a flour mixture fried to the shape of a bowl. It was tasteless and felt plasticly.

3) Steamed Pa Ting fish with Black Fungus & Bamboo Shoots. This was probabably the best dish of the day. The fish was fresh and the sauce was well prepared.

Additional Braised beancurd, Black mushroom & Vegetables. This was an ala carte order as we realised that the portions were small and unlikely to be sufficient. The dish was delicious and though on the costly side ($14 for a small portion of vegetables?), was quite well received.

4) Pork Chop with Brocolli. It was quite surprising when the waitress started laying knives and forks on the table. I mean, we did think that we ordered a Chinese dinner set. Hmm… The pork chop was a bit overcooked and the brocolli was too salty. I was the only one at the table to have managed to finish this.

5) Fried Udon with special sauce. By now, everyone was looking forward to the final dish (not in a good sense I’m afraid).  This was a pretty average dish, like most of the preceeding dishes.

6) Yam ice-cream with almond and pumpkin sauce. Nothing to shout about, although the pumpkin sauce went quite well with the yam.

Total – $46/pax after 1-for-1 promo.

Man Fu Yuan

28 July 2008 :: Monday :: Dinner

This evening, I brought my family to Hotel Intercontinental Singapore – Man Fu Yuan Restaurant. It was for a birthday dinner and the decision was made after consultation with one of the more popular foodie websites in Singapore -> HungryGoWhere. (http://www.hungrygowhere.com/singapore/man_fu_yuan/)

Brief Description:
Man Fu Yuan serves sumptous Cantonese cuisine in a spacious setting. With well-set tables, delicate dinnerware and attentive staff, it was a pleasant dining experience.

Review

True to expectations, being a Monday night, there wasn’t a crowd. Well, still, to be sure, I made a reservation. By observing the dressing of the diners, I was already forewarned that the food isn’t going to be cheap. Since it was the first visit, I opted for the easy way out by ordering the set dinner.

I had to wait around 15 mins before the first dish came out. However, subsequent dishes were out fairly quick and it is obvious that the staff pays close attention to the diners to only serve subsequent courses only after you are done with the current.

I picked Shui Xian (aka Water Fairy) Chinese tea. Though more expensive than your average Chinese tea at local Chinese resturants (cost me $20 per pot), it was well worth a price.  Shui Xian tea is variation of the strong and full-bodied Oolong, but with a refreshing floral aftertaste. The delicate aftertaste also indicates that it is an above-average variant.

1) First up, the slicked pork, spiced jellyfish and duck. The pork was well cooked and went well with the plum sauce. The jellyfish is chewy but not tough. The duck was excellent.. if only they gave more than a slice for each person.

2) The sharks fin soup was average. The portion is quite large, but then again, serves more in filling up the stomach then satisfying the taste buds. To be fair to them, I haven’t been able to experience satisfactory sharks fin soup from other restaurants in quite a while either.

3) The soon hock was very well done. It was fried to just the right crisp. I was initially worried that the salted fish may overwhelm the dish, but I was pleasantly surprised that the proportion was just right. In fact, I would rate it was the best dish of the day. I suppose I would enjoy it even more if I wasn’t feeling a little filled up by the earlier soup.

4) The prawns were sauteed with garlic. Though the ingredients were simple, the chef’s skill shined through. The prawns were tangy and you could savor the wonderful sauce with each bite,.

5) The braised toufu with xiao bai cai was a bit disappointing, considering how impressed we have been with the earlier 2 dishes. While it didn’t taste bad, it was distinctly average.

6) The fruits took quite a while to arrive. It was a pleasant surprise to see that they were sliced papaya, manago, cherries and rambutan. I was expecting to see the usual apple, orange and watermelon. The fruits were all sweet and fresh, bring a wonderful closure to the meal.

The bill came to about $58/pax. Luckily, there was a promotion for UOB credit cards. After the 25% discount, the final bill was $44.60/pax. All in all, a satisfying meal. With the discount, it really was quite worth it.
