Blanco Court Fish Bee Hoon. Fried Fish Soup @ Beach Road

Is this the original Blanco Court Fish Bee Hoon, Fried Fish Soup? No matter what this is the definitely one of the best I have eaten. My colleague brought me here for lunch after our conference at MBS. It is located along Beach Road at an old 80's setting coffeeshop at the corner of Aliwal Street. A queue was already formed when we reached the stall. We waited for about half an hour but it was worthwhile.

We ordered both the fried fish bee hoon and fried fish soup. The soup was thick and tasty with the sweetness of anchovies. One sip of the soup and I knew I am won over. The fish was also very fresh. One bite into the fried fish and how the fish meat broken down, we can tell the fish was freshly prepared on the day instead of using frozen fish meat.

What wows me more was the used of spinach and deep fried egg in the fish soup. The generous serving of spinach gave a good balance to the heavy flavouring of the soup. The fried egg was a surprise to me and my first having it for fish soup. It was a mouth drooling meal having different flavours coming together in an excellent bowl of fish soup.

Jang Shou Korean BBQ @ Esplanade

Korean food are getting more popular with Singaporean especially after the popular 大长今 Korean drama. I always enjoy dining at a Korean restaurant because I will be overwhelmed by all the different side dishes they served.

My friends and I went to check out Jang Shou Korean BBQ at Esplanade. The restaurant is a bit difficult to locate as the main entrance is hidden in an alley between Thai Express and Glutton Bay Makansutra.

For the BBQ, you need to order at least 2 portions of meat. We went for the grilled beef rib meat and grilled chicken ribs. We also ordered kimchi casserole which had a lot of ingredients in it. A very nice dish to be eaten with the rice. Once the side dishes were served, the waiter/waitress served the meat and BBQ it for us. The food was excellent but expensive. Ventilation could be improved cos I left smelling of BBQ all over.

Grilled Beef Rib Meat 4.5/5

Kimchi Casserole 4.5/5

To get here, alight at either Esplanade or City Hall MRT stations. Follow the underground Citylink Mall pathway and you will be able to reach the Esplanade.
