Razack's Kitchen Halal Hong Kong Noodles and Rice

This coffeeshop is located in an old shophouse and the owners were originally from Hong Kong.  My friend and I were not hungry as we had lunch about a couple of hours ago.  We were talking about food as usual and I remembered this eatery as it was featured in a television "makan" programme.  My friend googled and we found it.

We did not order a lot so we decided to share a Mee Hongkong (my fave, btw) and just a couple of dim sum dishes.  The noodles were good, not too salty, rather tasty and the consistency of the sauce was just right.  I am sure fans of Mee Hongkong will agree that it is now difficult to find a good one nowadays.

Next, we had the Crispy Beancurd Skin stuff with chicken and prawns.  It was piping hot and very good.  Excellent as a snack.

The other one we ordered was the shark's fin dumpling.  It was not as tasty as I expected it to be.   

I would definitely come back again to try out other dishes.  The elderly couple who owns this modest eatery are also very friendly.  They are apparently known for their Bak Chang as well.  Perhaps I will try that next time.

Changi Road, just after the junction of Telok Kurau.

If you are coming from Bedok, keep left at the junction and veer into

the carpark area immediately after the traffic light to the first row of shophouses you see on the left.

Mandarin Court Chinese Restaurant

I love Peking Duck.  Felt like having one and thought I gave Mandarin Court a try.  We arrived for dinner at around 6.45pm and was greeted as soon as we entered the restaurant.

The peking duck arrived at the table sliced.  It was nice and crispy.  The pancakes were warm though I think it would have been better if it was a tad warmer.

 
Beef cubes ($28) were delicious!  It was tender and the meat was juicy.  It was well cooked and the sauce on the beef was yummy!  All of us enjoyed that very much.  This is not a good photo as it is not very clear.

When I was going through the menu, this vege dish caught my eye.  It is spinach and poached with 3 eggs: salted, century and normal ($20).  It is different and I rather like it.  The different taste and texture of the eggs with the slight crunchiness of the spinach makes the dish rather interesting.

We tried a different style this time with the duck meat.  This one was deep fried with spices.  It was crunchy, crispy and lovely.  It was hot and just the way how it should be served.

Crabmeat Fried Rice ($12) was delicious too.  You can see bits of crabmeat and roe.  I think this is a fabulous dish.  The portion is very small so it is enough for one person only.

All of us enjoyed the food very much.  The service was excellent.  They were very observant and helpful.  The location of the restaurant is also superb.  It is on the 34th level of the Mandarin Hotel so you get a fabulous view.  Ask for a window table (unless you are afraid of heights) and reservations are recommended.

Imperial Treasure Teochew Cuisine Ngee Ann City

This is one of my favourite restaurants. My friends and I usually have porridge with the various dishes.

Since it is around Chinese New Year, my friends and I decided to have Yu Sheng to start. The Salmon Yu Sheng was fabulously fresh, I enjoyed it very much. The braised goose was tender and done just right. The sauce accompanying the goose was also very tasty, not too salty or too sweet. I feel this is a "must-have" dish here. The roast duck was succulent, crispy on the outside, extremely tasty and well seasoned. This is another "must-have" dish! Spinach was simple but delicious. Our teochew style steamed Soon Hock was yummy too. It was perfectly steamed and the fish was fresh and moist. I like!

I feel this restaurant is consistently good and simply fablicious!

Roast Duck at Imperial Treasure

I was running some errands and suddenly I realised that I was actually really hungry. It was around 5pm, in between lunch and dinner time. With absolutely no idea what I felt like having, I decided to drive in to a shopping mall as I was certain that I will be able to find something that I would fancy.

After parking at Tampines 1, I took the lift to the 2nd floor. As I was walking along, an image which was upfront a restaurant caught my eye: roast duck.

I quickly got myself a table and ordered braised e-fu noodles (my fave) , braised tofu with mushrooms and vegetables and of course half a roast duck. The e-fu noodles could have been better with a little more seasoning, tastier broth and a little more scallions. The tofu was soft and delish... it melted in my mouth. However, the best dish I ordered was the roast duck. The meat was done just right as it was tender and moist. There were no "duck smell" or anything like that. The skin was crispy and simply yummy. In short, the roast duck was really really fablicious! You must definitely go and have it!

They have many outlets located islandwide.
