Seafood Paradise @ Vivocity

Image
 ~Invited Session~ After a two year hiatus, Seafood Paradise is back! Bigger, better and of course, with it a slew of unbeatable promotions.  To celebrate its reopening, the restaurant is holding a month-long promotion: 50% Off Nostalgic dishes. Talk about WOW, no wonder tables were full when I had the tasting. Deep-fried Cheese Bacon Roll ($12.80,4pcs)     I love my deep fried snacks and toss in cheese, you have a winning receipe, except, it was a tad too saucy. \   Crisp-fried Baby Squid ($15.80) MUST TRY. These crunchy nibbles are so addictive, I can easily polish off a plate on my own and live to regret the next day.      Poached Live Tiger Prawn with Chinese Herb in Superior Stock (Drunken Prawn) ($29/300g, $41/450g, $53/600g) Succulent prawns in an equally comforting broth, this is so good! Great for rainy days and the broth on its own is already a winner. Promotion alert! From 3 May to 9 May: Poached Tiger Prawn in Superior Stock with Chinese Herbs is going at 50% off and limite

I awaited the literal fusion of a great culinary spread, with authentic North Indian specialties alongside Indian-accented southern American barbecue delights.    Jointly presented by Chef Kuldeep Negi of Tiffin Room and Kurt Sombero, Head Chef, Meatsmith Little India, I was in for a gastronomic treat that night at the historic Tiffin Room, with the best ingredients from the local Tekka Market and around the world. The 3 starters! We were treated to 3 amazing starters to kick off the wonderful evening. Cured Fish Biryani Nigiri (which was a delightfully unexpected way to eat sushi), Ikura Papadum (my favourite starter, more on that later), and Oyster Leaf and Cabbage on a stick, (which tasted pleasantly meaty surprisingly!) Ikura Papadum had me going damnnnnnn! This had to be my favourite ap

Raffles Courtyard x PasirPanjangBoy

 ~Invited Session~ Raffles Courtyard x PasirPanjangBoy is inviting guests to discover a new culinary collaborative series with the rich heritage of Southeast Asian cuisine, featuring a curated selection of their signature Nyonya specialities. I have personally dined at PasirPanjangBoy and I must say it is getting very difficult to book seats there anymore. So, for those of you who are not so lucky to manage to dine there itself, make your way to a much more accessible option at Raffles Hotel where you can also enjoy a few of my PasirPanjangBoy favorites at the comfort and serenity of the Courtyard at Raffles Hotel.    The soup is just oh-so-comforting! It was coincidental that it rained heavily just before dinnertime and this prawn noodles was just heavenly. It had all the right umami flavors and just the right portion for a dish packed with fresh seafood flavors.    The star of the night, and always my star at PasirPanjangBoy   One could argue that there are many types of ngo
