Canele Patisserie

(Triple?) chocolate cheese cake

“Jupiter” — flourless dark chocolate blended with caramel and pecans

seafood!

Squid + mango stuffed dough fritters with mayo. I’m not sure if my description is entirely accurate, all I remember is that it was yummy!

Fried dough fritters

Their signature (I think!) BBQ fish… it’s salty in the right places

“Baby” kai lan stir-fried with garlic. We order this all the time whenever we eat at Chinese eateries.. it’s not a particularly sophisticated dish or anything, but it’s really amazing

White pepper crab — this is amazing, and SO MUCH BETTER than chilli crab or black pepper crab!

Another photo. It’s piping hot

There was more food, but the photos were too crappy.

Long Beach Seafood Restaurant, East Coast Parkway. They underwent renovation recently, so the restaurant’s a little less “beachy” now, and somewhat posher… prices have also gone up accordingly, methinks

Jack’s Place

Frankly, their food is just so-so. Especially the steaks. You get what you pay for, I guess. But we go there occasionally, anyway, because it’s just so near!

Complimentary garlic bread

Seafood in a basket

Filet mignon — the steak was pretty tasteless, unfortunately

Chicken cordon bleu

This was at the Century Square outlet (Tampines).

Homemade prawn noodles

Grandma’s home cooking

Minus the giant prawns, plus lots of fried lard!

The bigger bowl was my father’s, I think

Hong Kong Jin Tian roast duck

Their fabulous roast duck! I have it with lots of plum sauce

At Tiong Bahru — they have a stand-alone coffeeshop outlet, and a stall at Tiong Bahru Food Centre too. The chef is from Hong Kong.

Island creamery

Some berry-flavoured ice cream

Great World City outlet (opposite the Cold Storage cashiers)

Ikea

It’s like eating in a canteen

Swedish meatballs. You can buy their frozen meatballs and sauce to make the dish at home, but somehow it doesn’t quite taste the same…

Salmon with veggies & potatoes. Not the best shot, obviously!

Daim cake!!! It’s as good as the candy, if not better

dim sum

Char siew puff pastry (char siew sou) — super melt-in-your-mouth!

Scallop thingers

Fried prawn dumplings (meng har gok). This, however, is not their best dim sum dish

Steamed radish cake. They also have a fried version, which is pretty good, too

Braised fish head in black bean sauce… my parents love this

Wrapped dough fritters. You can’t eat it like that, though — it HAS to go with sauce! (not shown in picture)

Peking duck!

Yummy!

Asia Grand Restaurant, at Odeon Towers. We love the dim sum here, and the service is always excellent

a boring lunch

Fried soft shell baby crabs

Chicken cutlet

Warren Golf & Country Club. Definitely edible…and the prices are always very affordable!

Marriott Hotel, Singapore
