The former has a sharper taste profile verging on sour, salty and a numbing spiciness thanks to the vine pepper. The folks take pride in their mian yang rice noodles (綿羊米粉)which is specially sourced from a local noodle artisan in North Sichuan. The thin noodles indeed, stood out with its ultra-smooth and silky texture. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space-collapse: preserve;" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitnRR0DS84S5mMYEQcFt61A7vpufdhdP2Nl-Uf9IcwDma56vV0lL73wWNn751qD2lvd5B_4zqcylzJU39NCeppqz1rO-16RGG8GyTQCK59CiQjb59K5pPmyKukx6aNqerN90uJ2e9fRCD5Ex8iz6JZxHMeHMJ2qk9WZlBkfSn2cTQawf-WDx6P1Qp4rOE/s3680/PXL_20240103_042346422.PORTRAIT~2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3680" data-original-width="2771" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitnRR0DS84S5mMYEQcFt61A7vpufdhdP2Nl-Uf9IcwDma56vV0lL73wWNn751qD2lvd5B_4zqcylzJU39NCeppqz1rO-16RGG8GyTQCK59CiQjb59K5pPmyKukx6aNqerN90uJ2e9fRCD5Ex8iz6JZxHMeHMJ2qk9WZlBkfSn2cTQawf-WDx6P1Qp4rOE/w301-h400/PXL_20240103_042346422.PORTRAIT~2.jpg" width="301" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHhp4CU-Hv_gyypVCiS6tzjB2QuOA5BOMzTEQE2ld9bBKqy2wdu8QytU9XWb8T9ob2SrysPfquGhmgr8XQqyGffpwHY97JySrLP7bU-_HV3N3g3ShwyD57GRnpsLFjQQaftywdLheIAqZQugpALv45e9uZ8_gQ2x2zFvM_2HfO5wnzxaVEbSooI_8PT90/s4080/PXL_20240103_042417978.PORTRAIT~2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4080" data-original-width="3072" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHhp4CU-Hv_gyypVCiS6tzjB2QuOA5BOMzTEQE2ld9bBKqy2wdu8QytU9XWb8T9ob2SrysPfquGhmgr8XQqyGffpwHY97JySrLP7bU-_HV3N3g3ShwyD57GRnpsLFjQQaftywdLheIAqZQugpALv45e9uZ8_gQ2x2zFvM_2HfO5wnzxaVEbSooI_8PT90/w301-h400/PXL_20240103_042417978.PORTRAIT~2.jpg" width="301" /></a><br style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space-collapse: preserve;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">The classic Sichuan dishes such as the Sichuan Sour Vegetable Fish and the Fried Chicken should not be missed either, though you need to gather a group of friends for a wider variety. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space-collapse: preserve;" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSlvWneDiNaW1EDjPOi6ehIqHNvRVJWff4FtHuFp4t4vkQHHJWiYR3PxBkWMy8hvZlAatdJO9Udm3XO-RYpAQkfATdviuy330cye5Nwc95HIfGJxq0SDBX-HPKSxVN2kxS7DyQWPEDLVhhUd6Jz18gX7vBMf1HK6wj4hSkcN35xTWYhCNU4QFWVQTOyGM/s3527/PXL_20240103_051353615.PORTRAIT~2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3527" data-original-width="2842" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSlvWneDiNaW1EDjPOi6ehIqHNvRVJWff4FtHuFp4t4vkQHHJWiYR3PxBkWMy8hvZlAatdJO9Udm3XO-RYpAQkfATdviuy330cye5Nwc95HIfGJxq0SDBX-HPKSxVN2kxS7DyQWPEDLVhhUd6Jz18gX7vBMf1HK6wj4hSkcN35xTWYhCNU4QFWVQTOyGM/w291-h360/PXL_20240103_051353615.PORTRAIT~2.jpg" width="291" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT8EKf8pwsgiop5Bunnfe1GFF9zz_GPi_GFQgKNjwS8wgS16cCTid1ACtEcYlyzWIEOpTlF7EySjNBuONikQgZQNqWc1S54Ue7do5dvcRPJ53gCJzwshD7R8gWB1xs9jxJqjmtr4YXC38r3q5tybaDvP_rvopIybBnDuwnGRIyWQs2oycLGuRQHIAD_So/s4080/PXL_20240103_051412686.PORTRAIT~2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4080" data-original-width="3072" height="362" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT8EKf8pwsgiop5Bunnfe1GFF9zz_GPi_GFQgKNjwS8wgS16cCTid1ACtEcYlyzWIEOpTlF7EySjNBuONikQgZQNqWc1S54Ue7do5dvcRPJ53gCJzwshD7R8gWB1xs9jxJqjmtr4YXC38r3q5tybaDvP_rvopIybBnDuwnGRIyWQs2oycLGuRQHIAD_So/w272-h362/PXL_20240103_051412686.PORTRAIT~2.jpg" width="272" /></a><br style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space-collapse: preserve;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Do wash down the heavy meal with the specialty ice jelly - no ice here but the jelly has a somewhat soothing effect on the tongue.

We started with Parker House Roll, which was essentially a soft fluffy brioche served with Shio Kombu Butter.

But I dare say I have found my best. Chengji started as an online brand and only took up a physical space recently that opened on Feb 23, 2023. You know how popular it is judging from its huge no. of IG followers. Best known for their cinnamon amman and -18 caramel cheesecake, Chengji currently does not have offer dine-in services and only carries a limited number of desserts in their shop daily. Best to preorder online for self collection as it is where you can get the most choices without fearing that they will be sold out. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhfwk_jbEycdlr2HfcZDclTr_g856GkqneQi1Txq1Wi4eUZ0YzdCQrWxVOLxNaibtHvDpoBaccOscurAIZvmqNV3b_n0NQYAHiQUCZnSJGDiSnzeV82BA1cTz6sxQ4zNBMMyhaG1273vR9N9WAb2pMaMzCSjCoeRToq61IXoxFEyZEgqYnfd5-6dzBt" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="4080" data-original-width="3072" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhfwk_jbEycdlr2HfcZDclTr_g856GkqneQi1Txq1Wi4eUZ0YzdCQrWxVOLxNaibtHvDpoBaccOscurAIZvmqNV3b_n0NQYAHiQUCZnSJGDiSnzeV82BA1cTz6sxQ4zNBMMyhaG1273vR9N9WAb2pMaMzCSjCoeRToq61IXoxFEyZEgqYnfd5-6dzBt=w483-h640" width="483" /></a> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkJscHyfjrvNGdAi29RSzpmz8GXr-U3Mc3oHoYOZYqr_n6nhk2uB7HeVOs4KNiOPVmN1slzr1klg0Rwroosmbumdk_tIv6ahBD09sl4UemDkUTQuetFyUGDcEZqTBXzarr4NfgAUNz6tGM1LJodmj0IOXf_qHA82Kgk93sAEzwyD1URTQjahwQatC0/s4080/PXL_20230404_082057846.PORTRAIT.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4080" data-original-width="3072" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkJscHyfjrvNGdAi29RSzpmz8GXr-U3Mc3oHoYOZYqr_n6nhk2uB7HeVOs4KNiOPVmN1slzr1klg0Rwroosmbumdk_tIv6ahBD09sl4UemDkUTQuetFyUGDcEZqTBXzarr4NfgAUNz6tGM1LJodmj0IOXf_qHA82Kgk93sAEzwyD1URTQjahwQatC0/w482-h640/PXL_20230404_082057846.PORTRAIT.jpg" width="482" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhjynUMMzcaAWNEAdEuu5oRu5Wi8k4SsGftUyzmwFz3peLmH1JhRHur49wB-NuG-zwo5b3SgPaTaGyqRSz0ZznyriRv1NlTSqF23ROg_XzGteaTwQI7sIEGx1xnTXvbEKsEpQSHlPDaROJl2KRGeSkE410ne2nh5iMqt8lcDRlRCCcnfsbq5plC-l17" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="4080" data-original-width="3072" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhjynUMMzcaAWNEAdEuu5oRu5Wi8k4SsGftUyzmwFz3peLmH1JhRHur49wB-NuG-zwo5b3SgPaTaGyqRSz0ZznyriRv1NlTSqF23ROg_XzGteaTwQI7sIEGx1xnTXvbEKsEpQSHlPDaROJl2KRGeSkE410ne2nh5iMqt8lcDRlRCCcnfsbq5plC-l17=w483-h640" width="483" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; text-align: left;">The signature Cinnamon Amman is a far cry from a typical NY style cinnamon bun.

And there's the NEW<b> Passion Ananas</b>, something light and fruity, with a crunchy digestive-cookie like base. <span style="text-align: left;">Prices of the cakes here start from $17.</span></div></div><div><br /></div><div>Angelina </div><div><a href="https://www.marinabaysands.com/restaurants/cafe/angelina.html" target="_blank">https://www.marinabaysands.com/restaurants/cafe/angelina.html</a></div><iframe allowfullscreen="" height="450" loading="lazy" referrerpolicy="no-referrer-when-downgrade" src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m14!1m8!1m3!1d15955.26934336744!2d103.8591559!3d1.2834644!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x31da199852024d17%3A0x9e915cad73ccd6f0!2sAngelina!5e0!3m2!1sen!2ssg!4v1680849941133!5m2!1sen!2ssg" style="border: 0;" width="600"></iframe>dairyandcreamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15500790259896073282noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528311153536032008.post-40744787024336753072023-03-12T15:53:00.008+08:002023-03-13T21:03:59.408+08:00FuFu Pot 福福锅: Individual Hotpot Set Lunch Starting from $14<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3U71XNvXExKsazpb_77DwDfKMio3w1u5RUYpXLa_MGGzmG2Ql3JV4ExBymnFCwu5KkunWKICb1SPEUfKpX_IKb-ZelonReaZknIdIRAd_PS_-JNWgkTEkQD7RpOmassRdgod387Z0rdt3hG6tRVYdKrUckryOCmMbjBm6AgNhJSw5xIMfhgS8PMiF/s3707/PXL_20230227_043906124.PORTRAIT~2.jpg"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3U71XNvXExKsazpb_77DwDfKMio3w1u5RUYpXLa_MGGzmG2Ql3JV4ExBymnFCwu5KkunWKICb1SPEUfKpX_IKb-ZelonReaZknIdIRAd_PS_-JNWgkTEkQD7RpOmassRdgod387Z0rdt3hG6tRVYdKrUckryOCmMbjBm6AgNhJSw5xIMfhgS8PMiF/w482-h640/PXL_20230227_043906124.PORTRAIT~2.jpg" width="482" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Rainy days call for comfort food, and what could be better than hotpot for lunch! Not only is it warm and filling, but it's also customizable to suit your taste. Finally, I got the chance to try the FuFu Pot weekday set lunches, and it did not disappoint. For just $14, you can choose from nine different soups, five types of veggies, and four meat/seafood options. Of course, some ingredients cost extra, but it's still a great deal. What I love about this set-up is that you get to choose exactly what you want in your hotpot. No more picking out unwanted veggies or meats from a pre-made hotpot!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB7tzMLjOi9dGZULIFYB4okmW0TvMG0Fu-xXMIdzbNNOZ5PO0BA3ZmXUGQxUoQUG7KwRgwt1U9zpDT13LbZ3dndjYV5xTS-kQJzIBrl0VY9Z5cHdqv3DZggoeZQr7tA3qn9qA9abipf-G8c3YIz-bT68n5NO8nT274erP6_BikC40e2TPHfHCXGcsJ/s4080/PXL_20230227_044011063.PORTRAIT.jpg"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB7tzMLjOi9dGZULIFYB4okmW0TvMG0Fu-xXMIdzbNNOZ5PO0BA3ZmXUGQxUoQUG7KwRgwt1U9zpDT13LbZ3dndjYV5xTS-kQJzIBrl0VY9Z5cHdqv3DZggoeZQr7tA3qn9qA9abipf-G8c3YIz-bT68n5NO8nT274erP6_BikC40e2TPHfHCXGcsJ/w482-h640/PXL_20230227_044011063.PORTRAIT.jpg" width="482" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQTNo3tKgzNLi-RIUewMm_urCE7EaOqjWGvZRgNvBp64cueAz53v4dkvjJkFnd2KfyfNYyZYbWaAzL1TOhROB9Ra0rVMpXJ8mL7__qxu79I-Y10F-sFnLGj1qK0MQCEbm9eIuyC45UBvvIJg_O_8zmK03M3XRrk_WSMb_kDEqigvyoQs9d0zuquXH3/s4080/PXL_20230227_044052142.PORTRAIT.jpg"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQTNo3tKgzNLi-RIUewMm_urCE7EaOqjWGvZRgNvBp64cueAz53v4dkvjJkFnd2KfyfNYyZYbWaAzL1TOhROB9Ra0rVMpXJ8mL7__qxu79I-Y10F-sFnLGj1qK0MQCEbm9eIuyC45UBvvIJg_O_8zmK03M3XRrk_WSMb_kDEqigvyoQs9d0zuquXH3/w482-h640/PXL_20230227_044052142.PORTRAIT.jpg" width="482" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">One pot we tried was the stinky tofu, although it was not stinky at all. It was spicy, somewhat like a mala hotpot, and very filling for one person. If you're looking to add on sides and drinks, it's cheaper to do it as a set lunch than ordering a la carte. I highly recommend trying the Korean big skewer if you like bold sweet and savory flavors. And, the prawn toast maki is also worth getting, as they are deep-fried prawn balls that are simply delicious.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnwFaN7mwOWE1kGCYhGnnY-cAD_1MaCZm6skZ4zo7i3arwEazJGJvoSOXevpeK5pJErqe6BbJ29SPx6lwgXYqI2ColV25sxZlJ7EV7wCixo5szFnlzeF5wext78HqwxxT1Laj0gYE_q9z6y1DBmDeIClDABdf0CS0XvyI9dO1vLpBz7TO1z8iPu_mT/s3304/PXL_20230227_043938558.PORTRAIT~2.jpg"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnwFaN7mwOWE1kGCYhGnnY-cAD_1MaCZm6skZ4zo7i3arwEazJGJvoSOXevpeK5pJErqe6BbJ29SPx6lwgXYqI2ColV25sxZlJ7EV7wCixo5szFnlzeF5wext78HqwxxT1Laj0gYE_q9z6y1DBmDeIClDABdf0CS0XvyI9dO1vLpBz7TO1z8iPu_mT/w544-h640/PXL_20230227_043938558.PORTRAIT~2.jpg" width="544" /></a></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">For the other set, I was torn between the white curry and spicy tomato, but ultimately went with the former. Unlike the creamy, milky Japanese-style white curry, this was light and tasted like a mild Southeast Asian curry. It was perfect for dipping the Japanese chashu, which I highly recommend as one of the meat options.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Overall, the customizable individual hotpots at FuFu Pot are a great lunch option.

We had 3 small plates and 1 pasta, starting with the raw blue prawns with wakame sauce and sourdough toasts.

A must order for anyone who has or hasn't tried it before. I've never tried the beef pastrami which was Chef's signature item since his days at Salted & Hung but the version here was delicious.

<span style="font-family: arial;">This place was highly recommended by one of my Taiwanese friend and I
decided to give it a try. It is well known on social media and their name (a-bun-dance) that their Gua Bao 刈包 is their signature. Only the one we ordered is Taiwanese style, the other two on the menu (at the end of this article) were fusion ones. I have to say it is quite close to ones I had in Taiwan.</span></div>

</div><span style="font-family: arial;"><div style="text-align: justify;">I highly recommend their Beef Noodles 紅燒年肉麵. The Brisket was given generously and stewed till at the taste was inside. The broth has a good 紅燒 with a bit spicy taste. Noodle is also the wide noodle (關廟麵) one I liked which soaked the soup well and has a nice chewy bite.</div></span>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Gather has been around for so long and finally made my
way there to try the crepes! They haven't update their website menu but this
is one that seems to be permanently on it. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Parma Ham, egg, mild
cheddar, buckwheat crepe.($21) a good savoury and cheesy option that I would
imagine go well with honey! This was my favourite out of the 4 items we
ordered.</span></div><a name='more'></a>

The kaya used is made
in-house by Raffles hotel. It's like a crepe version of kaya butter toast and
it's tasty. But I guess it's probably cheaper to get your kaya butter craving
fix via Yakun or any other Kopi places. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="#"><span style="font-family: arial;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGx8y18OMsRh_cBVngLAyt0jp7e4GhAH3Q7BMczMuvGLVmCNC6aNoLCgZmKJpLN-i8Tg9xBsgIZr44bS9q57bZnQ9RovTpl2RCASBSzwQbFT8fwWnn75EMJ2IYpn3lhaOEH6fOIVjotsTD1u8SsSBIPFGwtoy2k0gth2LFYsWxart_VmXPvFZkpDgA/w482-h640/PXL_20220531_065905657.PORTRAIT.jpg" width="482" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The looks turned out very different from what I imagined of a {Fig and
Camembert} crepe. More like a fruit crepe where the figs are part of the fruit
scene. The taste is predominantly from honey (or maple) and the camembert,
which is actually not bad. But perhaps this should be more aptly called honey
and cheese. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="#"><span style="font-family: arial;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmJh-L6sh7WM-q8RiQciEBBepJlaPTRhDezqwR-rZAmmegjf5qi6QEQXZrt8qrBtq2KcLLON5j7LTqX5KjuJf7Dn7qwsoQ4v6eWIMYlxOl54y9DSncEnvTULudoyAMMFksAno_2cPr782vdJmo2D6HtkSbUR5MxszzcHZ2HasdPfojJaYlq5pw7sqJ/w482-h640/PXL_20220531_071308395.PORTRAIT.jpg" width="482" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Dirty Ronin was the only non-crepe item with eggs and comte cheese. The miso
mayo and chorizos made it even saltier but if you are comfortable with strong
flavors then this might be up your alley. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Total cost for

This reminded me more of Hakka leicha and there isn't much of the typical claypot wok hei. But still a tasty rice dish nonetheless. </span></div></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrTZY1WvDcccKa1NhDvWewJvbaTsxNCKdGtfsS7k_V-IubpWit3vwNZdgkbDXymo0V55en4oKCqfsXF9ZJDPCPPjYMvqUGEg3A9RPYEQkoNZiixLSTPK3iLsltisP29R5z64JLKPfI3jXYyaPY_Z35PgWyjqcLfr7JX50LOX2XebchvOkOPrOBuuXG/w301-h400/PXL_20220608_050626452.PORTRAIT.jpg" /></span></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><span face="Roboto, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><b style="letter-spacing: 0.1px;">Steamed Cod Fish with Mei Cai ($31.90) </b></div></span><span face="Roboto, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.1px;">I like this dish because the Mei Cai stood out. They used one of the best Hakka preserved mei cai vegetable from Dabu County which is neither too salty nor sweet. It is prepared first by steaming the mei cai to extract an essence which is set aside. The mei cai is then minced and stir fried together with Yunnan bean paste before the essence is added back in for the richness. Lots of work behind it but the taste is indeed different - refined, clean but doesn't overpower the fish. </span></div></span></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCSQO9Sn-3X4hzxaOOF531EbdyauJSv-e7v9gMk-po_N36LcUDdNexC8LL_DO2A-r8Hm1H674UtIW4zbvrYGUy3DTRg8ZdTH3HmAQmvCixFVNxYUk1yFMirORE32h1MD_wEndRkBXDeJ5bdBbMVJu19rc9Xw8abple-EMR7zd2d_hnQ8SQPuCY0H7H/w301-h400/PXL_20220608_052940881.PORTRAIT.jpg" /></span></div><span face="Roboto, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: arial; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.1px;">All the dishes mentioned above are really delicious and highly recommend u to drop by with friends/family to try out more dishes at one go.

letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Feng Zhen Lor Mee opens a new outlet at Yishun and the queue is still so long! But good things are worth the wait as the gravy is thick but not too heavy and it's not as salty as some of the lor mee sold elsewhere. The vinegar, garlic and chilli are all self-service so the flavour is highly adjustable to one's personal liking. </span><p></p><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: arial;">One can choose btw traditional ($4/6) or the fish lor Mee ($6/8) and they use batang fish here. I prefer the traditional as there's deep fried meatballs which were fragrant and tasty.

In fact, I thought the dishes excelled even better than some michelin starred restaurants here (though I might not have tried enough to do a fair comparison). But one can be certain that the amount paid for the 9-course meal is definitely very reasonable and value for money. Hopefully they can continue to operate at this scale and help local talents ascend to greater heights! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtpRJPdfFk5czdYklonrjv4x9mHGG4lHKaq4tTnopHSeNnMn0tFelz6fr3nULllPm3r43daguf2gN_TesEzNuS2IzmFv7AJ2-HmhlBrAZbRcd6xUzl8JptfFUkcSYDW45_rhzYIXBI1eA9s1oZH5pYqu06DSF51ntq_MEWS-DGcZZCqxAD1NrzLd2D/s590/PXL_20220529_114712785.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="590" data-original-width="444" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtpRJPdfFk5czdYklonrjv4x9mHGG4lHKaq4tTnopHSeNnMn0tFelz6fr3nULllPm3r43daguf2gN_TesEzNuS2IzmFv7AJ2-HmhlBrAZbRcd6xUzl8JptfFUkcSYDW45_rhzYIXBI1eA9s1oZH5pYqu06DSF51ntq_MEWS-DGcZZCqxAD1NrzLd2D/w301-h400/PXL_20220529_114712785.jpg" width="301" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDKcqT_W10VlHYmNcqafI2D03z1lsyfdpOJzxWNZivO87m_clhu3Sb1qm8vi5pbS6fD65xniEzMWUhuBSWBu1s20ZAGewcd5_vZjZGyx4YX_4fxd4MPbwTUz1UpwOBCIPeUiok1eGyiePCBJPCVE7Oymtrjf6uHOZX-yBE4Gmu8FkqZ6iL-MBD-Eg1/s4080/PXL_20220526_115758168.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4080" data-original-width="3072" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDKcqT_W10VlHYmNcqafI2D03z1lsyfdpOJzxWNZivO87m_clhu3Sb1qm8vi5pbS6fD65xniEzMWUhuBSWBu1s20ZAGewcd5_vZjZGyx4YX_4fxd4MPbwTUz1UpwOBCIPeUiok1eGyiePCBJPCVE7Oymtrjf6uHOZX-yBE4Gmu8FkqZ6iL-MBD-Eg1/w301-h400/PXL_20220526_115758168.jpg" width="301" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">7 Portsdown Road Singapore 139298</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.magicsquare.sg/" target="_blank"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial;">https://www.magicsquare.sg</span><span face="american-typewriter, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: white;">/</span></a></div></div>dairyandcreamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15500790259896073282noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528311153536032008.post-66921540524298051282022-05-25T21:52:00.002+08:002022-05-28T20:22:59.413+08:00Path Restaurant @ MBFC Tower 3 : CBD Set Lunches from $45++<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNvwXCKsF6P-5iXTO0pst23lEJngUj8hVFwYv04FUDdQFc82xAKg7AvIDoeotEbXHB4KHX4dO6vhmJD0H0WcACjKIfxknB8I3fpdnMC67bkHZUigUPSOJYX2apNnMsJA3hGUzJT68aw__q_bd6wag8srnp0P-Sk-gUP5mQE1E2DO4JTJMcojCp_4lP/s590/PXL_20220518_042341542.PORTRAIT.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><img border="0" data-original-height="590" data-original-width="444" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNvwXCKsF6P-5iXTO0pst23lEJngUj8hVFwYv04FUDdQFc82xAKg7AvIDoeotEbXHB4KHX4dO6vhmJD0H0WcACjKIfxknB8I3fpdnMC67bkHZUigUPSOJYX2apNnMsJA3hGUzJT68aw__q_bd6wag8srnp0P-Sk-gUP5mQE1E2DO4JTJMcojCp_4lP/w482-h640/PXL_20220518_042341542.PORTRAIT.jpg" width="482" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: arial; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;">Path is a contemporary Asian restaurant that opened this year in Marina Bay Financial District.

The main difference is the additional dessert and the liberty to choose your appetizer (btw chef curated, hot and cold) in the 3 course set. It's a creamy aerated silken potato with a raw surprise of an Onsen egg. The shredded duck leg with teriyaki sauce at the bottom was slightly salty. </span></span></div><a name='more'></a>

We had a mesclun salad with some sour cream dressing and ikura, a far cry in terms of the sophistication level and flavor satisfaction when we compared to the hot appetizer from the 3 course set. The latter was a duck rillete that looked like chawanmushi but was nothing of those sorts. </span></div></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: arial; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.1px;">Luckily the food improved as we moved to the mains. The Shanghai yakisoba was good, reminding me of a Sakura ebi pasta. So was the pork rack that was impecabbly tender. However, the flavors still leaned towards the West rather than the East. Not much surprises or creativity either. </span></div></span><div style="font-family: Calibri; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcxSWJOg0fxmuRx5ELimSZntHsmgbGsq5AloY5Z9aOuG7HXEX2zTI_7pbQ574uMJhyZ1X6F8AsjhF3qEUz1MTpM-VhsgvQeJ4MlxlZux3inlR_1o29YOkHNu3qZHhaD89yiKTRwVPJBEIj2L5_kEDkeL2PQsa6UINZVEvfwtYeX_DDP9ZUWx2GkGV5/s590/PXL_20220518_044934392.PORTRAIT.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="590" data-original-width="444" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcxSWJOg0fxmuRx5ELimSZntHsmgbGsq5AloY5Z9aOuG7HXEX2zTI_7pbQ574uMJhyZ1X6F8AsjhF3qEUz1MTpM-VhsgvQeJ4MlxlZux3inlR_1o29YOkHNu3qZHhaD89yiKTRwVPJBEIj2L5_kEDkeL2PQsa6UINZVEvfwtYeX_DDP9ZUWx2GkGV5/w482-h640/PXL_20220518_044934392.PORTRAIT.jpg" width="482" /></a></div></span><div><span><span face="Roboto, Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #202124;"><span style="background-color: white; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: arial;">That said, the dessert we had might be as classic as they sound - Okinawan Brown Sugar Madeleines.

Food is decent but wasn't as unique as I thought it would be. The two dishes from the set lunches I thought stood this place out from the rest were the Duck Rillette and dessert. This is also the reason why I would recommend the 3-course set over the 2-course set. The place was fully packed during weekday lunch hours and it can be quite noisy like a marketplace. But if that's not a huge concern for you, then the lunch deal is worth checking out.</span></div></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: arial; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: arial; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Path</span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: arial; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.1px;"><a href="https://pathrestaurant.com.sg/" target="_blank">https://pathrestaurant.com.sg/</a></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #202124; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;">12 Marina Boulevard, Tower 3, #01-05/06 Marina Bay Financial Centre, 018982</span></span></div><iframe allowfullscreen="" height="450" loading="lazy" referrerpolicy="no-referrer-when-downgrade" src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m14!1m8!1m3!1d15955.294510529018!2d103.85443!3d1.2794242!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x0%3A0x7e0c311de225cd78!2sPath%20Restaurant!5e0!3m2!1sen!2ssg!4v1653740390813!5m2!1sen!2ssg" style="border: 0;" width="600"></iframe>dairyandcreamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15500790259896073282noreply@blogger.com0
