Food for thought

This post is at least 3 months post dated. :) But fret not because pictures shall do the talking.
Was out with the girls for a small short gathering. Chose this place because some filming took place here and i super like the show.

Food for thought. Located right opposite the new dblo. Who would have known its also a hidden gem?

Menu was slighly skimpy though.

Fast Food Style? So that dont have to clean the tables?


Tables look simple but good enough. A pity cos no back rest. The whole colour theme of the restaurant was well integrated and matching.

The pasta section was ok ok.... I ordered Garlic Prawns with Corriander Linguine.

Min ordered the Prawn and Calamari Risotto

Ok, this is jus about the girls

SOrry hui, this is not edited.

Ok, this will agar tell you how long ago this gathering was.

But the main focus is the menu k....

Had English Breakfast.

Here comes my pasta.

The pasta was al dente, topped with corriander rather than cooked with it. Hardly tasted any corriander. Garlic strong was well balanced with the olive oil fragrance.

Prawns were big and crunchy.

This is hui's half breakfast. Eggs were runny and slightly on the buttery side. Bacon was crispy and had all the oil off from it. I like it but its not her type of bacon.

Mel had this wonderful thing. Pancake with gula melaka, topped with chocolate chips and whipped cream. The gula melaka melted and soaked the pancakes sweet while the choco chips provided the aromatic cocoa fragrance and the cream adding another layer of texture. Yummy.

Min's Risotto. Was ok, not too thick nor runny. Ingredients were generous.

Potato gratin for hui was yummy, serving was a bit too big for her to finish. topped with cheese that filled to the brim and the creamy potato. A recommendation to share if not it'll be slightly too thick to finish.

The only concern i had was the amount of oil left over from my pasta. Towards the last few mouths oil starting coating my mouth. Didnt like the feeling.

Auntie note: Tea can be refilled with hot water over and over again. Good choice if you are not after their fatty milk shakes.

Not G6 but G7

Alright, the lazy saturday afternoon reminded me that its march. I know i didnt post as promised. So as a form of apology, shall do some real intro of good food.

G7 Sim Ma Seafood Tze Char

Was with boy there for new year's eve. The quatity of food is for 2. First up, salted egg crabs. Crabs are deep fried before stirring in the salted eggs but i think its slightly over fried making it too dry. Meat is slightly dry and compacted. Salted eggs on the other hand was thick, not too salty but can do better if its slightly more buttery. I guess if there were less customers on that day, chef will definitely do a thumbs up salted egg crab for me.

Yummy frogs.
What is special is the sauce. Gong Bao sauce that is thick enough to stir in your porridge. Slightly on the spicy side to wet your appetite. The meat is soft and tender, dropping off its bone without trying too hard.

French beans with shrimps.
Yummy to the max. Super crunchy and juicy.
The shrimps is even fried till crispy together with lard and garlic.
A perfect blend as the slightly salty dried shrimps give the natural flavour to the dish without much effort.

Home made tofu.
Tofu was soft and tender. The slight eggy taste melts in your mouth and doesnt leave a squeaky after taste. The sauce was of the right thickness and is meat sauce was super tasty with the mushrooms marinated in. Boy was saying the sauce will definitely taste good stirred with rice.
Overall this place is definitely worth visiting. Reasonably priced and good food.
A low point would be the location, although it is quite accessible by bus its is located at the middle of no where.
Auntie note: There is a promotion where you can get free frogs if you order more than 2 frogs.
This sounds odd. The promotion is something like buy 2 get 1 free. Buy 3 get 2 free.
So get more people to go eat together!
