Fine Cuts Premium Meat and Seafood @ Central

Fine Cuts is located at the basement of The Central at Clark Quay. Besides selling premium meat and seafood, it also has an open concept dinning area. I tried their dinner set for 2 at $33+ which came with a soup and drink. I thought I was a catch for premium meat at such price. I was disappointed when I realized the selection was limited and the set meal excluded kobe, wagyu, black angus, kurobuta pork.

I ended up ordering the Salmon and Lamb Chop. I wanted my Lamb Chop medium not it was overcooked. Nevertheless, both the Salmon and Lamb Chop were good but not great.

Salmon 3.5/5

Lamb Chop 3.5/5

If you want value for money and avoid the crowd, Fine Cuts set meal is worth considering. Go for the ala carte menu if you don't mind paying a bit more for the premium meat.

My Peranakan Spice Box @ Toa Payoh Central

My Peranakan Spice Box is a new eatery at Toa Payoh Central. In fact, it took over from the previous owner, Origins (元莊). It is located at the back alley opposite the HDB hub beside Wheat Baumkuchen.

I tried their Beef Redang Kailan which I thought it was a bit tough. However the gravy was good and my rice was drenched with it.

Beef Redang Kailan 3.8/5

The Hew Peow (Fish Maw) Soup was my favourite among the three dishes I ordered. The soup was light and refreshing. It also came with 2 fishballs and 1 meatball.

Hee Peow (Fish Maw) Soup 4/5

The Nyonya Chapchye (Mixed Vegetables) was nice too. I was expecting more variety of vegetables since it is a Chapchye (Mixed Vegetables) dish. Nevertheless, the cabbage was very soft and nice, the way I like it.

Nyonya Chapchye 4.5

Do take note that the portions were rather small. If you are a big eater, you may want to order a few more dishes.
