Xin Yuan Ji 新源记

Xin Yuan Ji is one of my favourite Fish Soup place, met up my girlfriend and my brother for dinner here. This place is among the stretch of the famous steamboat place directly opposites Bugis Juction and right beside Apple Strudel. This place is always crowded plus their service is horrible and attitude, forget about this for the sake of the nice fish soup lolx

Price has eventually went up again seems like they are always increasing their price. A bowl of Fish Meat Noodle Soup cost you about $5.50 kinda of expensive thou. I love their thick, fragrant milky soup and the chunky fish meat inside but prepare to get thirsty after finishing the soup lolx. My girlfriend suggested their Fried Baby Squid and the Prawn Paste Chicken Wings. Fried Squid was crunchy and sweet and not that spicy as for the Prawn Paste Chicken Wings I would said is pretty normal I still prefer the one at Bei Zhang in Yishun (another brunch of Taste of Thailand). The Prawn Paste Chicken Wings here does not have the strong aroma of the prawn paste taste. Overall I personally feel that the Fish Soup here are the best comparing to other dishes.

Gim Tim @ AMK

My boss treat us for lunch at Gim Tim for 'Lo Hei'. My boss has chosen this day as it is the 7th day of the Chinese New Year season, which the Chinese celebrate as everyone birthday. It's a kind of tradition to toss the salad while calling out Lo Hei!, which means to whip up or toss up good fortune. It's believed that the higher you toss the salad, the greater your luck and prosperity in the New Year!

Our first dish is definitely the 'Yu Sheng', Yu Sheng is made with fresh fish such as salmon, peanuts (which symbolize longevity), raw vegetables such as Daikon radish and carrots, and a plum sauce dressing. In total there is 8 dishes including Shark Fin, Abalone, Scallop with Brocolli, Fish, Crispy Chicken with Spicy flakes and dessert. Dessert was the Hot White Fungus with Chinese Almond, the taste is kinda of weird so I never ate it.
