Uncle Leong Seafood Restaurant @ Punggol Promenade

Punggol Promenade is a new attraction for residents staying at the North East. It is a very beautiful place when Singaporean can enjoy the scenic view and and exercise along the river. Restaurants have also established along the riverbank and one of them is Uncle Leong Seafood Restaurant.

This is Uncle Leong Seafood Restaurant's second outlet. The main branch is at Ang Mo Kio Ave 3 opposite the famous Mellben Seafood at Ang Mo Kio Ave 3. Uncle Leong Seafood Restaurant is famous for its Shimmering Sands Crabs and it started from Ang Mo Kio Ave 3 opposite the famous Mellben. Words had that both restaurants are opened by family members. The Ang Mo Kio branch has been closed and now they have 2 branches at Toa Payoh Lorong 8 and Punggol Promenade.

The new restaurant at Punggol Promenade has both an air conditioned and alfresco dining area. I prefer the alfresco dining area because of the scenic view facing the river. I did not order the Shimmering Sands Crabs this time. I had the Vegetable with 3 Eggs, Steamed Red Grouper Hong Kong Style and Butter Prawn instead.

The Vegetable with 3 Eggs was a disappointment for me. It was let down by the watery broth.

Vegetable with 3 Eggs 3.8/5

The Steamed Red Grouper was very fresh and cooked to perfection.

Steamed Red Grouper Hong Kong Style 4.2/5

I have eaten Oatmeal or Cereal Prawns but not Butter Prawns. The Butter Prawns were big and fresh. The butter coating on top of the prawns were simply delicious.

Butter Prawns 4.5/5

To get here, alight at Punggol MRT Station and take the LRT To Riviera Station and walk to Punggol Promenade.

Penang Place Restaurant @ Fusionopolis

After a two month's wait, I was so excited to know that Penang Place Restaurant will reopen at its new premise at Fusionopolis. After being introduced to the restaurant when it was located at International Business Park, whenever I have craving for Penang cuisine, Penang Place Restaurant always the first to come to my mind.

Our July's foodies and twitter friends gathering was coming up so I suggested the Penang Place Restaurant since most of them have not been to the restaurant. To be frank, I was also a bit nervous whether the food will be up to their mark.

The Penang Fried Kway Teow is very popular here. Being been to the restaurant, I know the Penang Fried Kway Teow will disappear from the buffet line in an instant. When I walked into the restaurant, I stole a glance at the buffet line and the Penang Fried Kway Teow's trap was empty! Lucky we have a big group and we can take turns to check out the buffet line for the Penang Fried Kway Teow.

I am delighted the Penang Fried Kway Teow was still as good. I also breathed a sigh of relief when the group commented the Penang Fried Kway Teow was good. The Penang Fried Kway Teow stirred fried with bean sprouts, cockles, prawns, fish cakes and eggs also had the wok smell.

Besides the delicious food there is also an element of fun where one can DIY what they want to eat such as Nasi Lemak, Penang Laska, Fruit Rojak.

Nasi Lemak 4.5/5

The other dish I was looking forward is the Cuttlefish Kangkong. Not many eateries are selling this dish anymore. I missed the texture of the Cuttlefish with the sweet dark sauce.

Another dish that we seldom get to eat is the Fried Cempedak Fritter. It is like Goreng Pisang (Fried Banana) but the fruit is much sweeter.
