Beauty in the Pot @ Star Vista

~Invited Session~ DSC_6266

Beauty in the Pot has made its way West and this time, they are honouring this opening with a special collaboration with Le Shrimp Ramen. DSC_6287 Fans of the ramen place can rejoice because they have launched  a Hearty Shrimp broth made from big prawns baked, hand ground till fine and simmered for more than eight hours with premium conpoy, clams and spices for more oomph. This definitely gives the hae mee stock a run for their money because it's rich, thick and packed with umami in every drop. DSC_6268

Every visit I get tempted to concoct my own sauce but the broth is always so tasty no further seasoning is required. Anyone else like me?

We had the usual BITP staples and between the mala and hearty shrimp broth, I veered towards mala. Somehow red meats and seafood taste better in spicy broths, a personal preference actually. DSC_6294 I love it when the broth simmers till the end of meal! All the goodness gets captured in the broth and I can have my broth fix then - so always save space for soup when having hotpot.

What's also new at this outlet is an indoor playground that will entertain children to no end and parents can dine in peace - so much win!

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
