Here's a wonderful dinner i'd like to call the 7-1 meal, due to us ordering 2 dinner sets for 4 persons each but with only 7 people eating. We stuffed ourselves silly to the point of almost throwing up. My appetite was only so-so that night, so i drew alot of flak from the herd... haha... This was in Holland Village, by the way.
Our WHOLE Peking duck...before it was cut into smaller pieces for us.
Some keropoks to get our appetites going...
This is the three-variety meat dish - it came with white steamed chicken, roast pork and char siew. The char siew was a little tough to chew on but apart from that, a pretty decent start to our dinner.
Sweet Sour Pork~ I love everything about sweet sour pork, with its brightly coloured capsicums, pineapples and tomatoes. Of course, i also enjoy biting into those crunchy, bite-size pork cubes.
Egg plant....yuck. According to my friends who tasted this, it was one of the better dishes of the night. Good for them, then.
Several bowls of watercress soup to clear some of the oil we've consumed. This drew mixed review from our table, with half of us commenting that it was 'just nice', while the other half said it was 'too salty'.
Finally our Peking duck has been sliced into small pieces and wrapped into this lovely looking dish. Great presentation but i wished the wraps had been more moist. I think the waitress took too long to slice the duck to the point that the wraps were left in the open for more than optimum.
The name of this dish : Steamed Freshwater Fish & beancurd in special spicy sauce. I have always enjoyed eating freshwater fish eventhough it meant putting up with their characteristic muddy taste. This fish was undoubtedly fresh and the sauce appetizing.
Our other fish, a saltwater fish which had been fried... a direct contrast from the previous fish.
Yummy~ More soup for me....Braised Shark's Fin with shredded Premium Sea Cucumber , Fish Maw, Bamboo's pith and Pig's Tendon. Before it was served, fresh crunchy beansprouts were added to give the soup some crunch.
What's the weird looking mess? The menu said it was Stewed Duck with Bittergourd. I gave this dish a miss because by this point, i was already at my absolute breaking limit.
Our last main-course was King Prawn in Portuguese Style with Deep Fried Noodle. I also gave this a miss, and had the Red Bean Soup for dessert. Can you believe that right after this meal, the gang went to a dessert place for tiramisu? *gag*
