Muthu's Curry @ Race Course Road

Purchase a voucher from deal.com.sg at $18 for their big portion fish head curry so I made a reservation with them and head down for dinner with my dear and my brother and my sister.

It was my first time here and regret to come on sunday, the restaurant was located near to little indian station. Restaurant was quite big, pretty crowded during the dinner time and they also serve buffet here. The food here was good but don't expect good services. My brother request for more 'ice' because they only give you 4 cubes in the glassbut the waiter heard my brother requesting for more 'rice' I almost fainted lols.

So we ordered their Fish Head Curry, Gosht Sheekh Kebab, Garlic Naan and Biryani Rice. Total bills come up to $49 excluding the Fish Head Curry for 4 person. The price here I would said is expected to be a little steep as Muthu's Curry are expected to be more commercialise.

The Menu

My favourite Pappadam

Curry Fish Head - Usually is serve 1/2 of the fish head but here it was the whole head. Lots of fresh and smooth fish meat, spicy and nice. Simply love the curry sauce especially having with the biryani :)


Biryani - Is stated in the menu free flow of biryani per person, my brother love rice he must be very happy when he see this lols


Garlic Nann - I was looking forward to this but it turns out to be a little disappointing, the naan taste a bit bland and can't taste any garlic too

Gosht Sheekh Kebab - Recommended by my sis, at first I thought the word was Ghost because it sound so close to it lols. It was too saltish for me and too spicy though there is a sauce for you to go with, it taste like indian hotdog to me lols...

Bali Thai @ NEX Shopping Mall

Met up my girlfriend at NEX for dinner, had no idea what to eat and happen to pop by Bali Thai which is tucked at a corner at level 2 so we decided to try it out.

Not much crowd during dinner time, the restaurant are quite cozy but the food can be served quite slow. We ordered their Tom Yum Soup, Shrimp Paste Fried Rice and Phad Thai.

Tom Yum Soup - Kinda of special when I saw this Tom Yum Soup serve in a claypot. I requested not so spicy because I can't really take spiciness but still a little too spicy for me lols. But overall it is still nice.

Shrimp Paste Fried Rice - I love this and seems like I will always ordered this whenever I ate at a Thai restaurant. The fried rice is too moist but it is very fragrant, remember to go with belacan chilli it will taste even nicer. The sliced chicken was sweet and tender but the fried shrimp was over fried and too hard to chew lols.

Phad Thai - My girlfriend ordered this but I never tried. Smell very frangrant and nice too and the portion are quite big too.

Iced Milk tea - Thai iced milk tea are very different from our local style they taste more milky and stronger taste of the tea.

Oasis Taiwan Porridge @ Toa Payoh

Been here for supper once, is next to Toa Payoh Swimming Complex as for parking wise you may park in front of the complex and walk over. Heard they have another outlet at Kallang but it was closed down already.

They have indoor and outdoor seating but the outdoor are only open in the evening. The pricing of the dishes I will said is quite steep. The teochew porridge is serve in a small pot in regardless how many person you have, you can always ask for another pot if you want to. My friend who had been here a few times told me it depends on your luck on the porridge that you get. If you are lucky you will get a pot of porridge with nice and sweet porridge with soft sweet potatoe inside which they had boil for quite a while if not it will be like me, my luck isn't good I never get to tried the sweet porridge just the plain porridge with semi soft sweet potatoe lols.

And we ordered Sliced Fish with Spring Onion, Braised Pig Intestine with Salted Vegetable and Cold Beancurd with Century Egg to go with the porridge. Total bill comes up to $35 for 2 person with a few dishes which I feel that is kinda of expensive. I think by coming in a bigger group will be more worth it, it will be a nice place to return for supper.

The Menu

 Teochew Muay (Taiwan Porridge)

Sliced Fish with Spring Onion - To me when I heard Sliced Fish it should not have any bones but this does and not just one and also the fish are not fresh, it has a very smelly fishy smell in it.

Cold Beancurd with Century Egg - I like this, the beancurd is smooth silky and chill. The sweet and saltish sauce goes well with the egg and beancurd

Braised Pig Intestine with Salted Vegetable - The pig intestine is properly clean with no stinky smell, is soft and not rubbery, nice.

Linda Seafood @ Patong Phuket

My brother recommended this place for dinner during our trip in Phuket Patong. It is not too far from our hotel called The Nap and it was beside Club Andaman Beach Resort, along the roadside opposite a 7-11 store. The lady boss was very friendly and keep chit chatting with us in dialect (Hokkien).

We ordered their fresh Oyster. Oyster omelette, Asparagus, BBQ butter prawn, deep Fried Squid, steam Stingray with white rice. I also ordered their Mango fruit juice, it was pure, fresh, thick and sweet do consider giving this a try. The advantage of going in a big group is that you can order more good food :P


Fresh Oyster - Fresh and no stinky smell. Unlike the usual way of  having the oyster with tabasco sauce and lemon the lady boss has her way and it taste totally differently and it was very delicious. She personally prepare the oyster for us, she put some homemade thai sweet and spicy sauce with fresh garlic, fried shallots and a piece of the green leaf which I had no idea what is it called and put everything into your mouth, Wow it was great but it may not suit everyone taste bud but still worth a try :)

BBQ Butter Prawn - Prawn was huge, fresh and succulent The buttery sauce in the prawn was nice but somehow the prawn meat taste a little bland to me.

Steamed Stingray - Our local style of stingray is BBQ with sambal sauce and here they steamed the stingray with lots of garlic, coriander, chilli padi and maybe lime. It taste totally different to what I always ate, the sauce was very good it taste like clear tom yum soup. Thumbs up for this dish.


Fried Clams (LaLa) - Quite common so nothing much to said about this dish. Just one thing, at least is was properly clean and no sandy taste.

Fried Squid - This is nice too my girlfriend was saying that this dish taste like cereal squid. It is crispy, easy to chew and not rubbery.

Asparagus - My brother and my dear said that the sauce in this asparagus was very good and goes well with white rice and my brother even finish up the sauce lolz...Aasparagus was crunchy and fresh, yummy :)

Oyster Omeltte - I wonder how they make the omelette so fragrant and fluffy, overall the omelette taste quite nice too.

Total  bills comes up to $2700 baht for 6 person including beer and drinks, very worth it and very reasonable and I will definitely recommend this restaurant to all my friends and family who intend to visit Patong for their holiday. Do note that there are many stalls next to one another along this street and you will be confused as which to pick, as for Linda Seafood is much further down directly opposite a 7-11 store. Last but not least sorry for the bad photo taken :)

Ampang Yong Tau Foo @ Upper Thomson Road

This stall at Upper Thomson Road is always crowded I wonder why. It is next to a Shell station and parking can be quite a hassle. We ordered their set for 2 and a bowl of dumpling soup. The sauce is flavorful, the fried tau kee is a little too salty for my liking and I feel that it doesn't taste as nice as before already. Not much varieties on the yong tau fau as for the soup it just taste very average. 

Total for 2 person is $9. Will keep a lookout for other nicer ampang yong tau fu, kinda of disappointed with the food here....

Boon Tong Kee ( Whampoa)

Was here for lunch with my colleagues, I think it was about 5 years already since I last visit BTK. It was a long queue as usually during lunch time. This restaurant was located beside Boon Keng MRT station along those shop houses. Finally it was our turn and we decided to ordered 1/2 white steamed chicken, spinach with century and salted egg and their fried beancurd.

At first I still wonder if their fried beacurd are still the same as usual and it never disappoint me. I love the lightly salted and crispy beancurd skin and the beancurd is smooth, tender and piping hot. My colleague suggested the spinach with century and salted egg, the sauce of this vegetable was thick and sweet, it taste like mui fan sauce to me. The texture of the chicken rice was good it was not too dry or oily and it was very fragrant. Lastly it was the steamed chicken, the thick chunky meat was smooth and tender best to dip with the chilli and ginger sauce.

Overall the bill comes up to $45 for 5 person with a pot of tea and complimentary chocolate. The reason for coming back again I guess is for their fried beancurd.

Empire State (Iluma @ Bugis)

Square pizza? Yes they serve square pizza here, don't blame me for been a 'sua gu' (geek) is really my first time eating square pizza lolz. I choose Hawaiian flavour for our square pizza, it was slice into 9 pieces just nice for 2 adult and a child. And we saw a few ordering their Roasted Chicken so we ordered a whole chicken to shared. This place somehow remind me of New York New York even their menu are quite similar.

The roasted chicken is huge I should have ordered 1/2 to shared instead. The chicken can be quite bland without going with the sauce and it was served with a generous amount of fries. We like the pizza at least the crust is not so thick that will make us feel so bloated and each slices are just nice and not served in big pieces.

Total bill comes up to $34 after the gst and the service tax. I will come back again to tried their mini burger it is also a nice place for a mini gathering with your friends :)

Square Hawalian Pizza $12.90

Roasted Whole Chicken $11.90
