I shall not go into how nice the food is.... haha...
1. Always go there early to aviod queues. And if ididn't rememver wrongly there a early bird discount...
2. If going late, make sure some1 is early to get the queue number... However pls note that they will only give u are table when everyone is present. I guess this is to shorter waiting time...
3. In order to order every food item in the menu, go in groups, it's more worth it...
4. frankly speaking, there isn't much choice of food... But everything is nice!!!!!!! Haha~
5. For the duck I normally order "hou zhuang" cos the meat is nicer althought slightly higher in price than "qian zhuang"
Batam is a cheap getaway destination... However Batam View Beach Resort is DEFINATELY NOT my choice... There are better choice...
As most of the resorts are away from the shopping mall, the resort will have buses to go there... They will charged a small and reasonable amount.
I went with my extended family. In total, there's 8 ppl. So when I went to comfirm my seat on the bus, they told us was fully booked... They recomend me another way, by the taxi which was much expensive.
As it's really very ex, I dropped off the idea of going to the shopping mall... My whole family juz sat at the lobby deciding wat to do next...
Minutes later, I went over to the counter to ask what are the available facitilies that we can use... I over heard a couple making reservation for the bus ride to the shopping mall...
It's obvious that they are trying to make me spent more money by hiring a cab... =(
- I should continue my story -
Being me... I will NOT stomach this. I confronted the front desk and make hell lots of noise... In the end... all 7 of them went to the shopping mall... I choose not to go and did a spa package instead...
Anyway I feel that HARRIS is much better than Batam View
P.S. Did I mention the boss of Batam View is a Singaporean?
I used to like this place alot... To me, it's the first generation of HK cafes... That was abt 2 - 3 years ago?
It's a great place to go after clubbing... Yup... Those were the times... Whenever I go clubbing, this is a place I will visit after that...
Actually their target audience was the CLUBBERS!!! Their operating hours was from 12 pm to 6 am... It's a great place to go after clubbing... Normally I will reached around 2am - 3am and stay till 6 am where the SBS bus is available...
Anyway, the decor is nice, including the toilent... very different... The price is reasonable... The plus point is the huge TV... Most of the time the shoe CHINESE STAR MOVIE... However they do screen soccer matches sometimes...
Over the years, the standard of the food drops... And there are many other nicer uprising HK cafes... Seriously unless I'm clubbing like those days, I wun eat there anymore...
Been to this place several times... But no recollection on how the food was... Just remember that this place is forever packed...
Normally I will just order drinks...
The best thing abt this place is it's ultra long operating hours. Hence most of the time after dinner and shopping, when there is no place to go esp after 10pm, I will definately head to this place for a drink and a chit chat session with my friends.
I would say the price of the food here is cheap as compared to other resturant that are open at this late hour.
Please note that usually the place is very packed and very noisy...
Qian Hu Ornamental Fish Farm operates a nail spa that is different. Instead of using conventional tools to remove the dead skin and cuticle of your feet, it uses the fish, garra rufa.
This fish is also known as Doctor Fish, Nibble Fish, Kangal Fish or Lickers Fish. It is found in the rivers of Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Turkey and Syria. It can live at a temperature around 37 degree Celsius in hot pools. They have a lifespan of 4 to 6 years.
At Qian Hu Fish Spa, customers are seated round a huge communal fish pool with their legs immersed in it. Scores of fish nibble away at the dead skin on their feet. I felt hundreds of tweezers pecking at my feet. It was ticklish, occasionally a bigger Nibble fish would take a big bite. eowwwww ........
I was told my skin would feel silky smooth and healthy after the dull and dead skin is removed. So I graciously endured for 30 minutes. Guys at the pool were giggling. A lady claimed her skin was smoother after the treatment and intends to have her whole body immersed the next session. Horrors!
This Doctor Fish therapy is said to heal Psoriasis. The fish nibble at the diseased skin until the upper skin is completely removed and release a small quantity of dithranol, an enzyme which results in skin rejuvenation.
Qian Hu sells these fish, so you can re-create the spa at home. A small Garra rufa costs $10 and a larger one is $20. Don't worry, these are not Pirahna fish, your kid would not turn into a skeleton should he accidentally fall into the pool. hehehe....
Charges : $10 for 30 minutes, with slippers and towels which you are free to take home.
Open Daily Mon - Thurs : 9 am to 6 pm Fri - Sun & Public Holiday : 9 am to 7 pm
Had the opportunity to partake in a media dinner at the newly reopened The Seafood International Market & Restaurant, or TSIMR for short, courtesy of The New Paper. It was a reunion of sorts as I vaguely remember dining at its former premises at UDMC some years back. It has since transplanted to become the anchor tenant of Big Splash @ Playground.
TSIMR occupies an impressive 18,000 sq ft and can seat up to 700 people if my memory serves me right. The draw of this place is its live seafood market concept which allows you to choose your desired seafood from the tanks and it will be cooked and served to your table. This concept, though not unheard of, was pioneered in the early 1980s by TSIMC.
The live seafood section is reminiscent of a supermarket while the dining area is like your typical seafood restaurant - huge and noisy. I liked the private dining areas at the two extensions though, which offered a nice view of the park and pond in the day. What I didn't appreciate was the fact that when the sky turned dark, outside visibility became close to zero and passers by could look in aka fishtank. Did I mention that the partitions were nothing more than a facade? During the course of our dinner, I could hear the adjourning rooms' conversation and loud guffaws.
Assorted Mushrooms Deep Fried with Seven Spice Salt - Imagine my astonishment when I heard that the mushrooms were sold by weight. Its definitely a first for me and honestly, as preposterous as selling Tofu by weight. The seven spice salt was purportedly made from dried shrimp powder, curry powder, chilli, szechuan peppercorn, salt and two other secret spices. As impressive as this may sound, I found it nothing out of the ordinary, coming across merely as salty with a hint of spiciness. Ditto for the batter as well, which I personally found too thick and hinting subtly of oil residue.
Prawns Stir Fried with Chilli & Basil Leaves - Beautifully presented with ornamental garnishes, the prawns gave an illusion of being terribly spicy. In reality, even someone who can't really take chilli like me could handle it without much effort (and water of course!). I didn't quite take to it though as the flesh was a tad soft and not firm. My guess is that it was a little undercooked.
Sakura Chicken Braised with Tri - Sauce in Stonepot - I liked this dish the best even though it wasn't outstanding. Probably more of something that's close to my heart. Dished out in a huge stonepot, the chicken wasn't too dry and easy on the sweetness, carrying with it a light spice that made every bite rather enjoyable
Golden Platter - Stir Fried Pumpkin with Salted Egg Yolk - Aptly named the golden platter, this dish intrigued me as I've never actually seen pumpkin cooked this way before. Prawns/lobsters with salted egg yolk? Yes. But pumpkin? It didn't turn out to be very appealing after all as the pumpkin slices were a little too soft for my liking. Coupled with the strong overtones of salted egg yolk, it was a recipe for nausea.
Curry Crab & Bread - I didn't try the crabs so I shall not comment, but the curry tasted rather normal to me, albeit a little heavier on the coconut milk. I liked the bread that came with the crabs though, sinfully buttery and crispy. Guaranteed to increase your cholesterol!
Pad Thai - Call me ignorant or mountain tortise, but to my understanding, Pad Thai should be cooked with thin flat strips of glass noodles. TSIMR does a different rendition using thin vermicelli like noodles which I suppose are glass noodles as well. To be honest, the noodles were way too chewy and had the tendency to clump together, which made me feel like i was chewing on some kind of non sticky kueh.
Wonder Four on Ice - With such a fanciful name, who needs superheroes? Corny jokes and stunning aesthetics aside, this dessert was just red bean kueh, mango pudding, some fruits and lemon grass jelly served on a bed of ice. As normal as it gets.
A little bird told me that the above dinner for 6 pax would have cost about $40/pax, which to me is a tad pricey. Food quality is average and service could have been more attentive. With that, I would like to thank TNP for the dinner once again.
Scanning through their menu, we realized that they not only served Peranakan food but also catered to other diners who wanted just simple and ordinary dishes. We ordered the following :
Crispy Chicken Bites
The chicken meat was crispy and golden on the outside but tender and tasty on the inside. A special chilli sauce was served for dipping. Not oily and definitely juicy as the marinated meat was bursting with flavour
Bakwan Kepeting
This is a traditional dish of minced pork and crabmeat being shaped into meatballs and then put into a broth containing fine slices of bamboo shoots. The broth was very sweet and the meatballs were also soft and tender.
Ayam Buah Keluak
This must-try dish was a true Peranakan item and is an acquired taste. The gravy was rich with buah keluak ( a strong-tasting nut from Indonesia ) which has a distinctive flavour. The tangy richness of the gravy together with the braised chicken meat and the stuffing in each nut was simply shiok!!
Sotong Hitam
This is another dish not commonly found in other places. Fresh baby squids are cooked in its own "ink" and tamarind gravy. The squids are soft and not over-cooked. Though they looked messy and black, a bite of the meat and you will not stop eating them.
We were satisfied with our choice of dishes and this place is one where we could really taste good old home cooked authentic dishes as Nonya cooking was largely based on home recipes.
I went in a group of 4 on 7 March 2008 for dinner. I'm abit disappointed that the restaurant no longer serves dinner steamboat.
The decor of the restaurant did not change, it is the same as the previous Chinese restaurant they took over. However, the ambiance is good.
We ordered 5 dishes: Braised Beancurd Skin with “Dang Gui” served in Casserole Braised spicy eggplant with fried man tou Cauliflower with Mushrooms & Capsicums Fried Rice with Diced Pineapple Braised Ee-fu Noodles
Maybe I have high expectations, cos their previous steamboat buffet was really good. The 5 dishes did not really left us a "wow" impression. They just taste "so-so". The servings are very small. Each dish cost above $16 . The total cost for 5 dishes were $126.00 (including refillable tea). I will only recommend Braised spicy eggplant with fried man tou. It has salty and mild spicy taste and the gravy match well with the fried man tou.
I think I won't go back to this restaurant again. I find the food are quite oily. I still find Roma's Vegetarian cafe at Ang Mo Kio served the best vegetarian food. (Very affordable too!)
This is my second visit to Fish & Co, the first time being at the Glass house, on this occasion (quite some time ago) we went to the branch at Paragon. Fish & Co has grow from strength to strength since it started with their first store at Plaza Singapura in 1998, bring forward ten years and now they have 13 branches island-wide.
I believe most people know more or less about Fish & Co, so i shall skip the usual long-winded introduction and jump right into the food.
Swordfish Collar ($14.90) Chunky & juicy swordfish collar, fried & served with spicy mango vinaigrette. Given that Fish & Co specialise in fish & seafood, they got quite a list to choose from, so i thought i’ll get something special. Now now, how often do you see restaurants serve swordfish as a main course? Never or seldom right? Thats the idea!
Our first impression of the swordfish when the waitress served us the food, o-boy, the fish is huge! Seriously, there are three collar of swordfish, and its suppose to serve one person? Order this and share with your partner.
Fish & Chips ($13.90) The Fish & Co classic! Fried, topped with lemon butter sauce & served with chips. The lemon butter sauce is the life & soul of the fish, it added an extra dimension to the fish. But given the price is more or less as the other fishes, i rather try different type of fishes. But my mate wanted the safe option, so they had 2 of this.
Seafood Platter for 1 ($19.90) Platter of Seasonal fish, calamari & king prawn. Many people should have tried this one before i guess, the standard fish, calamari & the chips. Nothing new there, what i like it the rice from fish & co.
Seafood Platter for 2 ($35.90) You must be wondering why did we order the Seafood platter for 1, and then order another seafood platter for 2 right? Pardon me, but i didn’t know what were we thinking, we sort of over-ordered! Hahaha!
Nevertheless, Seafood platter for 2 is definitely more worth it than the platter for 1. Lets do some simple math, platter for 1 cost $19.90, so if you times by 2 it will come up to $40 right? But platter for 2 only cost $35.90, furthermore there is the addition of scallops which the platter for 1 didn’t have. Well, unless you are a small-eater, or eating alone, or refuses to eat scallop, Seafood platter is the choice.
Total bill for the 5 of us adds up to $122.90. Usually Fish & Co is relatively affordable, but i think in this instant we over-ordered, hence the bill seems a little expensive. But i think i won’t be going back to Fish & Co in just a while, having been there twice, what must try have been tried. There are more alternatives out there with the same price range. So don’t expect to see Fish & Co III unless somebody is giving me a treat. Like what i mentioned in the previous visit, there are other options if u really want to eat fish & co type of food, Manhattan Fish Market isn’t too bad, Hooked! provides many variety of fish, New York New York has some nice seafood platters around also, and Greenwood Fish Market is my favourite.
