Kuro Maguro @ Tanjong Pagar Centre

Kuro Maguro is a sell out during lunch hours and with their speciality in premium tuna, I've been tempted to just splurge on their lunch sets just for the melt in the mouth tuna slices.

This comes with an assortment of sea urchin, tuna belly, salmon belly, sweet prawns, squid, eel and ikura, akin to having chirashi don only way more satisfying because the seafood slices are reasonably thick. Look at how the sashimi curls! Droolicious.

Toro Uni Meshi ($35.90)


Their assortment of seafood dons are so plenty, we definitely had a hard time just picking two and even with uni and tuna belly, it was equally good. Especially atop a fluffy bed of vinegar sushi rice and seaweed, I can understand why tuna belly itself can hold a meal of its own.

Maguro Gyoza ($7.80)


We were definitely on a roll with all things tuna and even the snacks were also the same. Fried tuna cheek and tuna gyoza were both bar snacks and I prefer the gyoza. Somehow the tuna cheek had an aftertaste.

Worth the splurge and until the next splurge I'd be dreaming up that bowl of tuna belly and rice. Kudos to the service staff for entertaining our request for a baby chair which they borrowed!

Baba Steven's Private Dining: A ex-chef turned home cook

Image
Baba Steven or Chef Steven is endearingly known as has been whipping up peranakan feasts from his Bukit Batok Home since he retired. We booked a table of 8 for a $450 dinner comprising of 8 dishes. Baba Steven's chilli is a must try, fragrant and so tasty with just white rice. I clearly overdosed on this whilst waiting for the rest to arrive, just like soy sauce and rice, so simple yet my belly was full on happiness. The feasting kind of started before the mains were served - freshly baked pineapple tarts. These open faced babies come with a mildly sweet pineapple jam baked atop a really buttery pastry shell. Bakwan Kepiting Soup This is almost a Peranakan staple across the private dinners I have done and whilst this is homecooked, I found the meatballs rolled a tad too tightly. Soup is refillable but those balls are limited to two per diner. Ayam Buah Keluak is the classic peranakan dish at all peranakan meals and Baba Steven takes pride in deshelling each of these tough nu

Jin Hua Fish Head Bee Hoon (金华鱼头米粉) @ Old Airport Food Center

Image
Jin Hua is a household name for fish soup in CBD , very much so that I have joined the relentless queues during lunch just for a bowl of steaming hot goodness. Hurray to this franchise which also sports queues but more forgiving ones! Even way past 2 pm, the queues were neverending. Sliced Fish Soup ($5) Bland broth in comparison to Hougang Hai Zhen Yuan's, the sliced fish slices made it worse since they were barely seasoned too.   It may problems with a franchise but I still prefer their fried fish version over sliced. Given now I have found an alternative, I'd probably be switching camps.  Jin Hua Fish Head Bee Hoon (金华鱼头米粉) Old Airport Food Center #01-120
