Lai Wah Restaurant

Happened to be around Bendemeer and this good friend of mine suddenly suggested to go to this Lai Wah restaurant for dinner. He mention to us that this restaurant started way before we were born, is an old traditional Chi Zar restaurant. This restaurant was located below the HDB flat and thou is located near the main road but it can hardly be seen unless to those who have been here before or stay around this area.

This restaurant give me a very old school feeling like those older generation who held their wedding in this kind of restaurant, it was not crowded yet when the time we reached. We were served with a plate of peanut and chinese tea when we were seated. They have quite alot of variety and they also served set menu here. I wanted Prawn Paste Chicken Wing but the auntie said they don't have it anymore, kinda of disappointed. So ended up we decided on the Fried Prawn, Garlic Pork Chop, Belacan Kangkong, Sweet & Sour Fish and Fu Rong Egg. Their menu are mainly in chinese, pardon me for this as I can't really remember the name of the dish.

I must admit that the food here are quite nice but the price range are a little steep maybe due to their popularity. Overall the bill comes up to $75 for 3 person, whether is it expensive or not is up to you all to judge.

Their address printed on the napkin

- Garlic Pork Chop

I thought it will come in slices because it stated Pork Chop but it was in chunk. This is really nice, the meat is very tender and fragrant. The taste of garlic is just nice, not to strong, give this dish a try.

-Sweet and Sour Fish

By looking at the colour of the fish my feeling tell me that this dish is not going to be nice but surprising it taste better than I thought.The fish was soft and fresh and the sauce match perfectly.

-Belacan Kangkong

This dish is almost the same as what we ate outside but here their Belacan is not very spicy and the vegetable is very crunchy and fresh.

 

-Fried Prawn

Okay, this dish is expensive lolz. I do not know what is that called that wrap with the prawn but it is very crispy and most of all is not oily. Prawn are big and fresh, no shell and it is very crunchy.

 

-Fu Rong Dan

Hmmm.... Common dishes nothing much to said on this.

Furama Riverfront The Square

My sister has this Buffet Club member so we decide to go to Furama Riverfront to try out their buffet on my sister birthday. At first I got them confuse because I told there is only one Furama which is located at Outram than I realise I lead them to the wrong Furama lols.

Furama Riverfront is near to the famous club disco Zouk. The restaurant we had our buffet is called The Square. There isn't much crowd when we arrived, the restaurant was quite big, quiet and ambience was quite nice too. But but but the food here was so-so only, no fresh oyster and the variety was very little too. Their sashimi was very fresh and I like their apple strudel, I ate 2 of this :P

Though their buffet is consider cheap but for the food they serve I will said is not worth it. This will be the first and the last time I visit them. Original price was around $35 per head for dinner.

Chuan Lai Guo Zhi Wang (Macpherson Kway Chap)

I was craving for the kway chap at Macpherson and it was just a 5 min drive from my office. A nice brother of mine came all the way down to accompany me for lunch as I was so sick of the food around my office lols.

I guess I don't need to introduce much on the kway chap here as it was so popular and well known among every of us. But one thing to highlight the kway chap here are quite expensive, we order a plate of the mixed pig organ with duck meat and 2 kway for 2 person cost us $13. Try their fried pig intestine ($8) is crispy and nice. Best thing about their kway chap here is that they are not very oily and their pig organ are properly clean as they don't have the stinky smell. They are open till midnight so anyone craving for kway chap late at night may consider coming here.
