SE7ENTH @ Oakwood Premier AMTD Singapore - Launches Refreshed A La Carte Brunch With Latest Creation Of Croiffle, A Croissant-waffle Hybrid

Oakwood10

Located within Oakwood Premier AMTD Singapore on the 7th floor is an all-day dining restaurant - SE7ENTH offering staycation breakfast for the luxury serviced apartment, business lunch meetings or a relaxing dinner. SE7ENTH has recently launched an array of refreshed brunch fares, including Chef Gary Lim's latest creation - the Croiffle, a croissant-waffle hybrid. Enhance your dining experience with a view of the hotel's infinity pool by dining al fresco at the Oakwood Executive Club.

Oakwood5
Croiffle with Scrambled Egg and Mushroom Cream Sauce 4.2/5

The new brunch menu's highlight is the Croiffle, which features a cross hybrid between croissant and waffle. It is made by heating the croissant pastry in the waffle iron for an exterior crisp while the inside is fluffy. You can choose to pair it with smoked salmon, tuna mayo and turkey ham ($17) or with Scrambled Egg and Mushroom Cream Sauce ($17) on the menu. We opt for the latter, which is served with a side of soft fluffy scrambled eggs drizzled with an earthy and creamy mushroom sauce.

Oakwood7
Brioche French Toast with Ricotta and Mixed Berries 3.8/5

For those with a sweet tooth, opt for the Brioche French Toast with Ricotta and Mixed Berries ($17). Complementing the soft toast slices are a smearing of ricotta, mixed berries and ample maple syrup to douse the french toast.

Oakwood3
Brioche Prawn Rolls with Greens and Fries 4/5

Brioche Prawn Rolls with Greens and Fries ($17) features mayo-coated juicy chunks of prawn meat sandwiched between soft and fluffy brioche buns. It is served with crispy and fluffy fries and a side of greens.

Oakwood1
Stir-Fried Seafood Carrot Cake 4/5

While most of the brunch dishes are western-inspired, there is also an Asian dish - Stir-Fried Seafood Carrot Cake ($17). The chef uses premium ingredients, like prawns and squid, to complement the thick, chewy cubes of carrot cake.

Famous Pao Fan (一泡而红) @ Jalan Sultan - Lobster Pao Fan For $16

FamousPaoFan11

Pao Fan is a dish that is only served in Chinese restaurants, has now made its way into the neighbour food centres and food courts. Actor Chew Chor Meng has recently opened Famous Pao Fan (一泡而红), offering the dish at an affordable price. Actor Chew Chor Meng is not new to the F&B scene, having successfully opened 888 Mookata and The Famous Zhou. There are a total of 7 variety of Pao Fan in the menu with a selection of side dishes.

FamousPaoFan9
Lobster Pao Fan 3.8/5

The signature is the Lobster Pao Fan ($16) which comes with half a lobster, clams, fried egg and crispy rice puff. The broth is the light and refreshing, unlike those that come with a rich crustacean flavour usually served in a Chinese restaurant. I understand from the Chew Chor Meng, the savoury broth is boiled for hours that consists of pork bone, chicken and prawn. By the way, the lobster pao fan has limited quantity daily.

FamousPaoFan16
Kurobuta Pork with Lala Pao Fan 4/5

Chew Chor Meng was sharing with me that his favourite is actually the Kurobuta Pork with Lala Pao Fan ($8). I can't agree more. I find that the sweetness of the kurobuta pork gives the broth that extra lift in flavour, complemented by the clams.

FamousPaoFan19
Fried Red Grouper with Lala Pao Fan 3/5

FamousPaoFan25
Double Fish Pao Fan 3.5/5

For the fish porridge lovers, you may want to try either the Fried Red Grouper with Lala Pao Fan ($6) or Double Fish Pao Fan ($6). Personally, I prefer the double fish pao fan over the fried red grouper pao fan. The red grouper is a little dry for my liking. The double fish pao fan fish meat is moister. 

FamousPaoFan27
Fresh Prawn with Sliced Fish Pao Fan 4/5

The other favourite of mine is the Fresh Prawn with Sliced Fish Pao Fan ($6). The sweetness from the prawn further enhanced the broth for a more satisfying enjoyment.

FamousPaoFan8
Fried Tofu, Luncheon Meat, Prawn Roll 3/5

Last but not least, you can complete your meal with some side dishes. Available on the menu is Fried Tofu ($3), Luncheon Meat ($3) and Prawn Roll ($4). It is nothing extraordinary, though.

For a bowl of pao fan starting from $4.50, this is definitely a steal. I was hoping that the pao fan is more generous with the accompanying ingredients as there was a lot of rice. I actually ended up eating plain rice with the broth as there were not many ingredients for me to finish the bowl of rice with. I understand cost is a factor, maybe the stall can consider the option of adding marinated minced pork at an extra cost. I think it can also help to enhance the broth.

Note: This is an invited tasting.

Fragrant Garden (馨香园) @ Upper Serangoon Shopping Centre - A Hidden Gem In A Deserted Shopping Mall

FragrantGarden8

Upper Serangoon Shopping Centre used to be my hangout during my primary and secondary school days. This is where I got my computer games in floppy disc and computer repaired. Back then, it was the only shopping mall in the Hougang and Serangoon areas. There were no Nex, Kovan Heartland Mall, Hougang Mall and City Square Mall. The mall remains stuck in time, in its early 80s, rundown and deserted, except for Fragrant Garden (馨香园) on level one that still attracts a regular crowd for its Teochew dishes.

FragrantGarden4
Combo Roll 4/5

Together with a few foodie friends, we dropped by Fragrant Garden on a weekday evening to have dinner. The whole place still looks the same during my secondary school's day. The entire mall is deserted except for the dinner crowd at Fragrant Garden. We started with the Combo Roll ($12/$20) which consists of prawn roll and liver roll. My attention is drawn to the liver roll, which is hardly available in the restaurants' menu nowadays. The offal gives it a creamy interior encased in a crispy exterior wrapped with beancurd skin.

FragrantGarden13
Oyster Omelette Teochew Style 4.2/5

I have tried the oyster omelette from Chui Huay Lim Teochew Restaurant and its the gooey version. Over at Fragrant Garden, the Oyster Omelette Teochew Style ($14/$20) is very close to our local hawker version. It is fried to crispy on the exterior, retaining a slight gooeyness inside with plump and juicy oysters.

FragrantGarden6
Steamed Pomfret in Teochew Style 4.5/5

Steamed Pomfret in Teochew Style (Seasonal Price) is a staple Teochew dish which does not come cheap. A size like this would probably cost around $95. You would perhaps like to confirm the price right at the beginning just to avoid any unhappiness during payment. Steamed to perfection, the pomfret was moist and complemented by the sourish gravy.

FragrantGarden9
Braised Duck in Teochew Style 4.2/5

Another dish I enjoyed a lot in the Braised Duck in Teochew Style ($15/$20). I like the layer of fat under the skin, giving it a delightful ratio to the tender meat. Hidden underneath the pile of sliced braised duck, is a bed of silky Pu Ning Tofu.

FragrantGarden16
Fragrant's Stuffed Sea Cucumber 4/5

If you are a fan of sea cucumber, you will appreciate the Fragrant's Stuffed Sea Cucumber ($60 onwards). The sea cucumber is well braised to a soft and bouncy texture. The stuffed meat mixture elevates the main ingredient, giving it a multi-textural enjoyment. Pre-order is required for this dish.

FragrantGarden17
Braised Vegetable with Scallop in Teochew Style 4.5/5

For the vegetable dish, we went for the Braised Vegetable with Scallop in Teochew Style ($12). I am a sucker for cabbage, especially when it is braised under "nua nua" (very soft), absorbing the flavoursome broth.

FragrantGarden19
Fried Kway Tiao with Chai Poh 4/5

Another staple Teochew dish is the Fried Kway Tiao with Chai Poh ($5/$8/$12). Another well-executed dish packed with smokiness. I only wish there are more dice vegetables for that crunchy bite in each mouthful of the fragrant noodle.

FragrantGarden23
Yam Paste 4/5

Of course, how can we not end our dinner with the traditional Yam Paste ($4/$20/$30)? The version at Fragrant Garden comes with gingko nuts, pumpkin and shallot. Decently good but not the best I have tried.

Fragrant Garden prides itself for offering authentic and cheap Teochew cuisine. It is true to a certain extent as most of the dishes are reasonably priced. However, they are also expensive items such as the sea cucumber, steamed pomfret, cold crab etc. Hence you need to know what to order and not influenced by the pushy service staffs that will try to recommend you the expensive dishes. I have come across reviews about their lousy service but putting that aside, the food here is delicious.

Ho Fook Hei @ Great World City - Casual Dining Concept With Signature Specialty Rose Wine Soy Sauce Chicken

HoFookHei14

The folk behind the Joyden concepts group has opened a new casual dining restaurant at Great World City called Ho Fook Hei. The restaurant's name pronounced in Cantonese means prosperity and good fortune. Ho Fook Hei serves a medley of home-style Cantonese dishes and a unique rendition of soy sauce chicken.

HoFookHei4
Specialty Rose Wine Soy Sauce Chicken 4/5

The specialty here is their Rose Wine Soy Sauce Chicken ($19 Half / $35 Whole). The soy chicken comes with a distinct floral fragrance, and the meat is exceptionally tender with a beautiful caramel coat on the skin. This is all from the result of brining the chicken overnight and poaching it in a braising liquid concocted with home-aged soy sauce and a proprietary blend of Chinese herbs and spices. Top quality rose wine from Hong Kong is added to give it a beautiful floral scent. I really enjoyed the texture of the soy sauce chicken. Unfortunately, I am not a fan of rose wine. I am more than happy to order to just have it without the rose wine.

HoFookHei8
Honey-Glazed Black Barbeque Pork Belly 4.2/5

The fatty cut and the glossy dark coat of the Honey-Glazed Black Barbeque Pork Belly ($13) resembles the crystal char siew with its translucent meat. It is well executed with the perfect balance of sweet and savoury.

HoFookHei15
Egg Noodles 3.8/5

I would recommend ordering a plate of the Hong Kong Style Egg Noodles ($3.80) to go with the rose wine soy sauce chicken and honey glazed barbeque pork belly. It is springy and comes with blanched greens. I find that it still has a hint of alkaline taste. I would suggest adding the homemade crunchy chilli sauce for a little more heat and crunch, as well as masking the alkaline taste if you don't like it.

HoFookHei19
Shrimp Dumpling Soup 4.2/5

Not to be missed is the Shrimp Dumpling Soup ($8.80) that is plump and packed with juicy minced pork, prawns, chives and crunchy black fungus.

HoFookHei16
Pork and Prawn Rolls 'Hae Zor' 4/5

The Pork and Prawn Rolls 'Hae Zor' ($7.80) is fried to golden brown and stuffed with delicious pork and prawn filling. The size is exactly quite huge than the norm, giving customers value for money.

HoFookHei21
Seabass Fillet Steamed with Signature Nonya Assam Sauce 4/5

If you like your steamed fish, the restaurant offers a selection of seabass, threadfin and cod on the menu with a choice of the housemade sauces (nonya assam sauce, old ginger sauce, teochew style and superior soy sauce).

HoFookHei23
Cod Fillet Steamed with Old Ginger Sauce 4/5

We have the Seabass Fillet Steamed with Signature Nonya Assam Sauce ($14.80) and Cod Fillet Steamed with Old Ginger Sauce ($24.80). The seabass with the nonya assam sauce comes with a sweet, spicy and tangy note which goes well with a plate of rice. As for the cod, the older ginger sauce gives it a familiar homely and comforting flavour with mild heat from the finely grated blend of ginger.

HoFookHei18
Red Grouper Fish Fillet Congee 3.5/5

For something light and comforting, there is the Red Grouper Fish Fillet Congee ($9.80). The congee is smooth and silky with thick slices of fresh red grouper, garnished with ginger, spring onions and coriander. If you have a heavy palate, you may find the congee a bit bland for your liking.

HoFookHei26
Warm Red Bean Soup with Aged Mandarin Peel and Lotus Seed 4.2/5

I would suggest wrapping up the dinner with a bowl of Warm Red Bean Soup with Aged Mandarin Peel and Lotus Seed ($4.50). The addition of the aged mandarin peel elevated the traditional dessert.

HoFookHei2

The new casual dining concept is perfect for a quick bite, as well as a family meal with a selection of noodle, congee, rice and a la carte dishes.

Note: This is an invited tasting.

Le Shrimp Ramen @ Paragon - Japanese-inspired Chinese Shrimp La Mian Concept

LeShrimpRamen6

New at Paragon is Le Shrimp Ramen by Paradise Group. The new concept is inspired from the group's CEO visit to Japan, whereby he chanced upon a shrimp-based broth ramen stall. After month's of R&D, the new concept is born, marrying both Chinese and Japanese culinary influences which is a first in Singapore.

LeShrimpRamen7

The highlight shrimp broth is made using fresh big prawns, baking them and then grinded to a fine texture. This is then simmered with premium conpoy for more than 8 hours, to develop the depth and umami note. A blend of spices such as star anise, cinnamon, clove and white peppercone are added for the extra robustness.

LeShrimpRamen10
Le Signature Trio Shrimp Ramen 4.2/5

The 3-in-1 bowl will be the Le Signature Trio Shrimp Ramen ($19.90). The luscious bowl of La Mian comes with fresh prawns, handmade ebiko prawn paste and prawn dumplings. Noteworthy is the bouncy prawn paste that is shaped out of 100% prawn meat with the ebiko topping lending a crunchy touch. The prawn dumpling is always plump with fresh crunchy prawn. The highlight definitely is the shrimp-based broth. It is not your typical prawn mee broth. It is more refined in taste with a hint of smokiness.

LeShrimpRamen1
Twister Prawn Rolls 4/5

Complete your meal with a number of appetisers and side dishes such as the Twister Prawn Rolls ($5.90) and Long Jing Tea Lava Egg ($1.90 per egg). The crispy texture of the prawn roll is very delightful. I would recommend the lave egg with the La Mian, this makes it a complete ramen experience.

LeShrimpRamen15
Long Jing Tea Lava Egg 4.5/5

For diners that are allergy to shell fish, need not worry as there are other noodle selection such as the Red Garoupa with Pickled Cabbage Tonkotsu Ramen ($18.90). The bowl of noodles in tonkotsu ramen comes with chunky slices of red garoupa and pickled cabbage. What perks me up is the mala shiokness, which is not overpowering but lends a subtle spiciness to the whole enjoyment.

LeShrimpRamen13
Red Garoupa with Pickled Cabbage Tonkotsu Ramen 4.2/5

Other selection on the menu includes Big Prawns and Braised Pork Rib Shrimp Ramen, Ebiko Prawn Paste Shrimp Ramen, Prawn Dumpling with Chilli Vinaigrette Ramen and more.

The Wine & Gourmet Friends @ Bukit Pasoh - The Restaurant Allows You To Bring Your Own Food On Sunday

WineNGourmetFriends1

Opened in September 2018, The Wine & Gourmet Friends is an Asian tapas wine bistro located on the ground floor of a conservation shophouse on Bukit Pasoh Road. Albeit a narrow space that sits only 56 pax, it boasts a walk-in wine cellar which holds over 300 different styles of wine from over 80 old and new world wine producers, in which eighty percent are exclusive to the bistro. As the name suggests, The Wine & Gourmet Friends is all about wine over food, or vice versa, but what really lies within its core is the celebration of friendships over good wines and heart-warming food within a casual and welcoming environment. Afterall, the bistro is brought together by a group of friends with years of F&B experience under their belts.

WineNGourmetFriends17

Wines start from $6 a glass and bottles range from $25 to over $1,888, with option to drink in or takeaway. I can't read wines with my untrained palate, so if you are like me, owner William will be more than happy to help you with your purchase. To ensure that you get the most out of your purchase, an Aerating Decanter is used to efficiently and rapidly ‘open’ a bottle’s aromas and flavours. This process of decanting comprises two-steps: pouring wine into the decanter and when the wine has had sufficient time to breath, reversing the bottle to return the contents into the original bottle. This not only saves space on your table for more food, it will also prevent the mistake of accidentally mixing wines which often happens when an unmarked decanter is passed around.

WineNGourmetFriends22
Prawn & Seafood Bite 3/5

Helming the kitchen are Chef Wilson and Chef Gus, and the menu created features dishes inspired by the many that they have grown up with. The first Asian-style bite that we tried was one that we couldn't be more familiar with - Prawn & Seafood Bite (Hei Zou) ($12). This is an elevated version of Chef Wilson’s Mum’s Hei Zou, prepared with minced pork belly (hormone and antibiotic free), diced sea prawns, turnip and cuttlefish paste for bite and as a binder. I like the crunchy bits of the turnip, and appreciate the light seasoning, unlike some that filled my mouth with pepper and salt. The accompanying sweet and sour homemade achar (Peranakan spicy pickled vegetables) was addictive! I wish I had a full bowl of it to myself.

WineNGourmetFriends4
Foie Gras Lotus Leaf Rice 3.8/5

If you like Foie Gras, do order the Foie Gras Lotus Rice ($18).  Foie Gras and rice to me is an unusual combination but the chemistry between these two ingredients was better than expected. Perhaps the idea came from replacing liver with foie gras (just guessing), the role of foie gras in the rice was like that of a stir-fried pork liver but with an additional creamy texture. It was seared to attain a slight crisp on its surface, which released a layer of sweet gaminess into the savoury rice.  Being the centerpiece of a dish usually, it did not steal any limelight from the lotus leaf rice, which was just as outstanding on its own. Fragrant with oriental seasoning and condiments, Calrose rice is used instead of glutinous rice to lighten the load from your stomach.  Glutinous rice would certainly be too soft and sweet for this dish to succeed.  I love the chopped porcini and shiitake mushrooms, and the Chinese X.O. sausage which added another dimension of flavours and texture. The fried  lotus chips were not necessary, as they turned greasy towards the end.

WineNGourmetFriends9
Roast Pork Belly 3.8/5

Roast Pork Belly ($24) was a straightforward dish but deeply satisfying. The roasted Australian Bangalow sweet pork delivered what we had imagined it to be - crisp crackling with a layer of tender pork fat with no unpleasant porky taste. Like how a good piece of beef should be treated with minimum seasoning, the roast pork belly is served with a dollop of mustard and honey balsamic reduction just to kick your taste buds a bit of a kick.

WineNGourmetFriends14
Lamb Trio 3/5

This plate of Lamb Trio ($30) consists of lamb kofta, lamb rendang and rosemary grilled lamb rack, served with chilled quinoa salad and cucumber raita. Out of these 3 variations, my favourite would be the lamb rendang.  The rendang had a sweetness that helped to sooth out the gaminess of the meat. Second to that would be the lamb rack, in which I believe many would consider the fats lining the bone a delicacy.

WineNGourmetFriends16
Black Pepper Crab Noodle 3.8/5

When I first saw Black Pepper Crab Noodle ($18) on the menu, I thought it was going to be again a rendition of a prawn pasta.  But very much adhering to the characteristic of a zichar dish, chef kept the use of noodles. Wholegrain noodle us used and because it had a firmer texture than normal yellow noodles, the black pepper sauce was able to coat them without weighing them down. The soft shell crab was quite meaty and the blue swimmer crab meat pieces tasted even sweeter against the savoury blackpepper seafood broth.

WineNGourmetFriends20
Goreng Pisang 4.5/5

The dessert that we had was excellent.  Goreng Pisang ($12) with ice cream might sound really rich against the dishes we had but this is not to be missed. Banana and chocolate is a heavenly combination but chefs took this up a notch with their own homemade dark chocolate ice cream and banana fritters, served along with a 'banana kueh' and 'banana leather'.  The batter of the fritters was airy and the banana within had soften under the heat and bursting with sweetness.  The banana kueh had a sticky and dense texture but not too sweet, which acted as a textural support for the dish. The banana leather was paper thin like chips and so moriesh.

WineNGourmetFriends23

What I find interesting here is the Sunday BYOF (Bring Your Own Food!). The kitchen will be closed on Sunday, but The Wine & Gourmet Friends stays open from noon to 9pm and you are invited to Bring Your Own Food – home-cooked or otherwise, for a day out with family and friends. All you need to do is only order a bottle of wine (minimum one bottle for every four guests) to enjoy your meal within the bistro. If you need help with your wine pairing, William and his team will be here as well.

Quan Ji @ Amoy Street Food Centre - Go For The Noodle Dishes But Skip The Cooked Items

QuanJi10

Occupying two stalls at Amoy Street Food Centre is Quan Ji, a zichar stall located at level 1 of the food centre. Started in Hong Kong Street back in 1965, it has been relocated to Carpenter street before settling at its current location. The stall is now helmed by Tony Liew, a third generation hawker known for dishing out noodle dishes infused with wok hei.

QuanJi7
Yellow Cloth Noodle 4.5/5

A dish not known to many is the Yellow Cloth Noodle. The name came from the layer of fluffy egg omelette with prawn that is laid over the egg noodles. The egg noodles may look kind of ordinary without any gravy or sauce but you will be in for a surprise. The delectable egg noodles have been blanched and tossed in lard, infused with a coat of aroma.

QuanJi4
Beef Hor Fun 4/5

The other noodle dish we tried is the Beef Hor Fun. Love the tender beef in the plate of hor fun that is drenched in a dark savoury sauce.

QuanJi9
Prawn Roll 3/5

Besides the noodle dishes, we also ordered a couple of their cooked items to go with our carbo. The Prawn Roll was fried to a beautiful crispy brown with a soft innard. I agreed with my friend that it lacked a textural bite to it.

QuanJi16
Kailan with Sliced Fish 3/5

Even the health promotion board has to remind the public to eat their greens, so we obediently ordered a plate of Kailan with Sliced Fish. The sliced fish was rather pedestrian but the greens still retained a good crunch to it.

QuanJi14
Braised Tofu 2.5/5

My less favourite dish has to be the Braised Tofu. The tofu is silky but the whole dish is still too starchy.

QuanJi20
Pork Ribs 3.5/5

While I enjoyed the Pork Ribs (Pai Gu Wang) which have been coated in a delicious sweet-vinegary sauce, the pork ribs are not very meaty.

QuanJi2

Overall I think the cooked dishes are decent but not something to shout about. However I would recommend going for the noodle dishes such as the yellow cloth noodle and beef hor fun. We actually wanted to try the prawn paste chicken, unfortunately it was sold out during our visit.
