Chinese New Year is around the corner and my family planned to have a reunion dinner before new year in DoubleTree, Hilton. Its called Makan Kitchen. It's located at the 11th Floor of DoubleTree Hotel. I have been here once with my friends and i really like the fittings and furniture of this restaurant.

There were many decorations to suit the Chinese New Year Festival and my family was allocated at the private hall where located beside the chinese cooking area. Nice!!!

Porridge & Frog @ Chinatown, Singapore

My New Year 2011 was in Singapore. It was a great trip. Little time to spent but enough to enjoy.

As i was informed in Singapore the frog porridge is one of Singapore's signature dishes. I have yet to discover. Anyways, i have been told that there is a place in Chinatown sells frog porridge beside Geylang.It was not difficult to find the place, as it is located at the main road.

Century Egg Porridge @ S$3.80

I ordered the Century Egg Porridge to share as the bowl is quite large. Probably as big as a small size claypot. I was told that normally the frog dish should be ordered individually. If both the frog and porridge is served together, the frog will not have any flavour.

So I had Claypot Frog with Chillies. The gravy is tasty and the frog is soft. Nice! I didn't manage to take a picture as i was so happy once the claypot arrived.

Claypot Frog with Chillies @ S$8.00

Should try! I heard another name given to this restaurant is "Ang Chang Jok" means Dirty Porridge. It was given as the place is old but not sooo dirty la... Considered clean for Malaysian.

Gold Dragon City Seafood Restaurant @ Paramount



Deep Fried Crispy Prawns @ RM38.00

It was my mom's close friends birthday and it was a family reunion dinner. So, my mom's friend requested to eat chinese. Ok! She had many dinners at this restaurant called "Gold Dragon City Seafood Restaurant", and it was always satisfying. When i arrived i was fascinated with the poster at the entrance stated "Half Sucking Pig" - Rm65.00++. Hehe! But it's not my birthday. :P

First we ordered was the deep friend crispy prawn. The prawn tasted fresh. Although i do not like to eat prawns but its a really nice. Next was the pan fried sliced pork with salted fish. This meal is disappointing as i could not taste any salted fish. Or maybe they used "unsalted fish". :P 



Pan Fried Sliced Pork with Salted Fish @ RM20.00



And then came the Yam... yum yum! This is the everybody favorite's dish. Its pretty normal looking but it completes the whole chinese menu! Hehe! Then came the braised sea cucumber with beancurd in claypot. I expected much from this dish as  the price is more then it looks! Hehe! It came hot and smoky. It took me more than one picture to present the best among the rest. It still better than the pork dish! Hehe!

Yam @ RM18.00

Braised Sea Cucumber & Beancurd in Claypot @ RM55.00

Finally was the vegetable. This dish was insisted by my mom! Her statement was "too much meat dish, I want greens!" Hehe! Ok Mom! Love you! Hehe! The vegetable is...alright. And the fried rice. I love this fried rice. Really nice! Can still taste the wok from where it was fried, but it's ok!


Fried Rice with Anchovies @ RM12.00

I didn't order the sucking pig as the manager mention that it will be serve just the skin and no meat. So, i rather not pay off RM65.00++ for just skin. Maybe next restaurant.

Paradise Dynasty Pte Litd @ Ion Orchard, Singapore

Finally have reached Singapore! First thing came out from my mouth was, "Gong Xi Fa Chai, Hong Pau Na Lai"... Hehe! Second was, "What do you have in Singapore that you do not have in Malaysia?" It took them sometime to consider. Then one of my cousin asked me, whether have i eaten colourful "xiao long pau". Colourful xiao long pau? Well, i was fortunate that i do not have to googled as my cousin will be bringing us there for dinner. Ok! so dinner will be colourful xiao long pau!

The restaurant is located in Ion Orchard at the 4th floor. The place does not allow booking in advance and can only be seated once everyone has arrived. Aiyo! Like Jogoya as the last time i went to!

The first dish we ordered, was the Signature xiao long pau. There are 8 flavours which is White Colour -  Pork Dumpling, Dark Orange Colour - Foie Gras Pork Dumpling, Yellow Colour - Cheesy Pork Dumpling, Orange Colour - Crab Roe Pork Dumpling, Black Colour - Black Truffle Pork Dumpling, Green Colour - Ginseng Pork Dumpling, Brown Colour - Garlic Pork Dumpling, Red Colour - Szechuan Pork Dumpling. I don't find any different between the taste. Maybe i was expecting much.

From the Menu

Signature Dynasty Dumpling (8 flavours) @ S$13.80

Next is the noodle dishes. Most of the noodle is made in "la mian" style. The "la mian" is made and can be witness at the front entrance but no photographs can be taken at the kitchen area. The "la mian" is a noodle made by the chef with bare hands by pulling into long thin noodle. Mostly the "la mian" is eaten after the process of pulling the noodle is complete. The "la mian" with beef brisket is very spicy same as the 'dan dan' sauce. The beef brisket has strong beef taste and i like the bits of meat of beef. The 'dan dan' sauce have a peanut taste. Very Shanghai style! I really like the la mian with beef as the soup really taste like beef soup boiled for hours. Yum Yum! I was not so satisfied with the pork bone soup, maybe because the beef soup is overwhelmed my taste butt!

La mian with stewed beef brisket (spicy) & S$10.80

La mian with 'dan dan' sauce @ S$7.00

La mian with beef (non-spicy) @ S$10.80

La mian with sliced pork in signature pork bone soup @ S$9.80

I did ordered some other dishes. I like the scrambled egg, wok-fried rice flour cake. The pork belly was abit upsetting and the size of it is small. The pork dumpling chili sauce is ok-ok. I ordered the sliced fish cake for my older relatives as i do not wish to upset their tummys with spicy and chillies! The serving for this side orders are small and the menu is limited.

Scrambled egg white with fish and dried scallop @ S$10.50

Wok-fried shanghai rice flour cake with meat and vegetables @ S$10.00

Pork dumpling with hot chili sauce @ S$4.80

Braised pork belly @ S$12.00

Stewed sliced fish with chinses wine sauce @ S$14.80

Shanghai fried rice @ S$11.00

Well, it's a good try while in singapore, as i tried the famous colourful "xiao long pau". If i come again, i will try the "xiao long pau" and their beef la mians. One special remark is, i had to walk all the way to the entrance to pay the bill as it will not be served to the table. Maybe more walking for a big tummy like mine. Hehe!

Han Room @ Mid Valley

Happy Chinese New Year and Gong Xi Fa Choy 2011. I'm so happy to have many reunion chinese new year dinners with friends and family this year. Wishing more to come as this year is a great year for me. Hehe!

A friend from Jakarta came back for the Chinese New Year celebration and i thought of a good excuse of having a gathering among my close friends. There was so many places in mind but i could not think of anywhere good enough! And one of my friend suggested "The Han Room" in Mid Valley which recently opened. I googled, checked the menu and was satisfied with it. Quickly called and made the reservation!

The day comes and i was the early one to reached. As i enter the restaurant, i was greeted graciously. My expectation to the restaurant on serving was like the normal-one-dish-at-a-time method, but least expected was as we were served like fine dining ala carte' style (individually served). Wow! A plus star from me!!

The menu started with the famous Salmon Yee Sang dish.

table setting

Famous Salmon Yee Sang

The yee sang is essential to the chinese menu as it welcomes the year with many colours and great prosperity. The salmon fish represent the treasure in the dish and while you toss the dish higher, the more your wealthy you will be. Next was the shark's fin soup. The vinegar has been replaced with the green thai chillies. This seasoning gives the kick to its taste. Nice!

Braised Coral Shark's Fin Soup in Claypot



Thai chillies seasoning



The next dish is the fish. The fish is soft and fresh, sweet seasoning surrounding with pomelo sauce. On top of the fish was the fried crispy sotong. I like the sotong as it does not taste like the roasted ones selling outside, but this sotong is very tasty. I did not have enough of it and asking for more! 

Pan Fried Chilean Cod Fish with Pomelo Sauce

The pork roll is... speechless! It tasted like beef. Wrapped with spring onions!

Charcoal Grilled Spanish Pork Roll

I was shock with this dish as i could not identify what it was.! Hehe! I was thinking, could it be another fish? or chicken? It looked barbeque. Its actually taufu serve with mushroom. I like!!

Braised Imperial Beancurd with Spinach & Seasonal Vegetables

After the taufu, i could say that my tummy was so full that i could not eat more! Although the dishes were served individually but it was served in a large portion in fine dining style. I though i could skip the next dish and just go ahead with the dessert. But i was impressed that it was prepared in-front at our table where we could witness the cooking. The ingredients got me wondering whether is it too much. Hehe! Because i was thinking of my filled belly! But it got me wrong! Once the dish was served, the taste of the soup was so tempting that i wanted more, and more! I had the whole bowl of noodle! Wow, i thought to myself.

Pumpkin Noodles with Crab Soup

Last but not least was the dessert! It tasted sweet on top and bitter at the bottom. I don't fancy dessert but i won't mind eating more of this pudding! Yum yum!

Chilled Layered Herbal Jelly & Mango Pudding

With all the dishes served, all of us chilled with a cup of chinese tea with lots of chatting! Hehe! The menu set we order was for 6 pax for RM398++, comes to RM78 per person. It was worth for the service! I will come again, probably with family for the next round during chinese new year!

Again, i wish you all Gong Xi Fa Chai and Happy Chinese New Year 2011!
