cny shiok! thats when ocbc hr show some humane side and treated us to crystal jade kitchen ! tok them completely (anyway its not their money its ocbc's) and eated like a pig. didnt even speak as i stuffed my mouth with dim sums. I know its bad for my ocbc career that i didnt converse with the "senior management" but heck it. At the end of it, i arrived at the same conclusion on crystal jade:
the food remains overhyped and overrated. Red star can easily beat them flat. Anyway food is food so my stomach is easily satisfied.
Anyway just feel like jotting down the list of food that are pretty shiok so next time when i feel like eating i can refer to them and wont end up in crystal jade wondering why i end up there in the first place. If u think i left out some or wanna recommend something please do so so i can jio pple for food quest next time.
1. Ding tai fung (chiwowo and mine favourite. too bad they dont have frequentEater rewards if not i think we are eligible for them liao)
2. Nan xiang @ bugis level 2. Xiao long bao and te tofu samosa were godlike but they were nothing compared to the one in shanghai so Nanxiang bugis ranking in my list is only soso.
3. Ashtons. cheap and good and no gst and service charge. what more can u ask for. ONly complaint is the queue is too long!
4. Beach road chicken rice. smooth and tender. omg i think i will go and eat it later liao. god give me strength to resist the temptation!
5. chinatown claypot rice. ahhhhh..... the holy grail of claypot rice in singapore. too bad chiyoya doesnt like claypot rice.
6. maxwell fish meat bee hoon. secret xo sauce simply makes it stands out from others. Its not hard to imagine how good is the food when they have the audacity to charge $4. Chayoyo and me favorite 2.
7. changi village bar chor mee, chicken cutlet hor fun. I am guilty of not bring chiyaya to eat them when she wanted them so I apologise to you ok.
8. changi village red tea long gan. You may be wondering what this is but i can assure you its godlike.
9. Kenny rogers. Woot! guan hao pong and me personal favorite mid range restaurant. chicken, the muffin and the potato side-dish are legendary. Haven tried them for like 25 years and i long for themmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....................
10. carrot cake at hawker next to fu lu shou. The best in the business, this hidden gem has the carrot cake industry at its feet when the master chef was around. Now change cook liao and so standard drop from AAA to b just like ratings from s&p's.
11. Red star restuarant @ chinatown. though inconveniently tucked in the obscure corner of chinatown, this place has achieved cult status among the dim sum fans! Just entering this jiu lou makes u feel u r back in the 80's. The auntie waitress there told me the furnishing hasnt change since the 80's or 90's. hordes of aunties, ah ma, young men like me queue up every weekend begging to get in and get a hand on their shiokanathan dim sums. ahhhhhh......... paigu and siu mai i love u man.
cant recall anymore at the moment. will update this post as soon as i think of some so next time when i have alzheimer's i still can refer to this post. very important.
updates again!!!!!
