After so many weeks of Japanese food,
we finally had a taste of chinese food today!
We went to the dessert stall for some traditional chinese desserts!
My fave: Egg custard with rock sugar..
Smooth, cooling creamy custard with a tinge of sweetness in it!
I believe it's good for health and the complexion too!
How i wish i get to know the recipe!Then I'll cook it every other day at home!
So our skin would be fair fair smooth smooth like the custard!!!
I suppose double boiled papaya with hashima work as well too..
But I've never eaten that before..i hate fruits!!!
Feng had the almond paste!
Oooh i love almonds!
Not the nuts, but the tofu version!
Look at this!
It looks real smooth right!
But Feng don't realli like it..
He says that it tastes too "peanut-ish"
I agree with him...
Would be great if there's more almond taste to it..
We went to the soup restaurant at suntec city..
Although we are real "foodies",
somehow, we've never been to the soup restaurant before!
Something i don't fancy about chinese restaurants:
Once you are seated, they'll start serving lil dishes that you might not like..
E.g. stewed peanuts or pickles..
Then they'll charge you for it later...
I kinda like the 'martial-arts era' looking window!
I wet my finger and attempted to poke a hole thru it!
Blow some poisonous gas into the hole so that the people inside will be poisoned!
wahaha!
Thats for watching so much silly drama serials!
Feng says the purpose of bringing me here is due to this dish..
The Samsui Ginger Chicken!
The menu says they have preserved this form of cooking from the samsui women..
The chicken is soft and deboned..
well marinated and goes real well with the ginger!
Tastes quite home-cooked as well!
Sambal Kang Kong!
This simple dish tastes real fragrant here!
I guess it must be due to the chilli paste..
you will enjoy your rice soo much with this gravy!
Oh! The Samsui chicken comes with a plate of lettuce!
Initially i thought eating the chicken by itself would be nicer..
But Feng wrap one for mi, with the ginger paste n chicken inside...
And...the taste is much nicer!
It must be due to the contrast of their textures!
Crispy lettuce, with very soft meat!
You've got to try it!
We don't want to start dinner till the last dish was served!
The tofu prawn!!!
This dish tastes HEAVENLY!!
The sauce is exactly the same as "chilli-crab" gravy!
You know, the thickened gravy thats a lil sweet, with crab taste in it?
And now, it's time for dinner!!!
Feng enjoyed everything..
except that the tofu prawn gravy is a lil sweet for his taste...
But the big, juicy prawns are a plus-point of this dish!
The serving looks normal, but in actual fact,
we were sooo full we can't walk!!!
Hmm..let mi look around now while resting...
look at this cherry blossom tree!
It caught my attention coz....yes, you got it..
it's in pink!
The best thing thats good for digestion, yet, tastes yummy is of coz...
tea!
We had 2 pots of chrysanthemum tea!
We enjoy the dinner alot!
Feng wanted to order the venison meat initially, but i thought we might be over-eating..
It's a good thing we didnt order it!
Or our clothes might burst!
But you know what?
We went to the Cafe Cartel a few hours later and had another MEAL..
we just couldnt control our appetite...
Our expanding waistelines.....
sobz!!!!
