Selection of Seafood 4/5

For a glimpse of the gastronomic festive treats, Grand Park Orchard and Park Hotel Clark Quay put together a sumptuous feast to showcase the quintessential delicacies offered by both hotels during this joyous festive celebrations.

Like all buffet spread, I like to start my feast with the cold items from the seafood selection. Who could resist these beautiful delicacies from the ocean.

Glazed Five Spice Bone-in Gammon Ham with Orange Cinnamon Sauce 4/5

Standing high and tall among the spread is the Glazed Five Spice Bone-in Gammon Ham with Orange Cinnamon Sauce. Baked at a low temperature with honey, brown sugar, freshly grated honey pineapple puree and five spice powder. The rich, citrus and spicy sweet flavours is a nice different from the classic baked glazed ham.

Baked Salmon with Seafood 4/5

The Baked Salmon with Seafood is pretty interesting. I wonder how the chef managed to roll up all the seafood and salmon together into a roll. Pair with the dill sauce, it elevates the whole enjoyment of the dish.

Roasted Beef Prime Rib 4.2/5

The Roasted Beef Prime Rib was beautifully cooked, tender and juicy. Washed it down with a glass of red will be just perfect.

Roasted Spanish Paprika 4.2/5

The Roasted Spanish Paprika comes with crackling skin with the succulent pork belly stuffed with apricot. Each bite of the angmo sio bak was a delight.

Wings World @ East Coast Road

IMG_0002ed

The foodie haven of Katong welcomes another new food establishment in Wings World that touts itself as Singapore first specialty chicken wings eatery. Wings World is a couple of doors away on the same stretch of shop houses where Chin Mei Chin Confectionery is located. The Amercian diner style eatery serves deep fried chicken wings in 13 different flavours from its homemade sauces that comes in 4 level of spiciness (mild, medium, hot, blazin).

IMG_9996ed

To order at Wings World, just need to follow the 3 simple steps.
Step 1: Choose your quantity 6pcs ($5.75 ala carte / $7.95 set) or 10pcs ($8.95 ala carte / $11.15 set).
Step 2: Choice of part, winglet/drumlet/mix.
Step 3: Choose your flavour Wet or Dry (min 3pc per flavour).

The ala carte comes with complimentary celery, carrot and blue cheese dip while the set gives you an additional drink and a choice of side.

Chicken Wings 3/5

The wet seasonings come with Buffalo, BBQ, Teriyaki, Asian Zing and Mango Habanero. For the wet rub we tired the Buffalo, Asian Zing and Mango Habanero. I felt that the Asian Zing and Mango Habanero was quite similar with a nice tangy flavour except that the latter has a fruity sweetness finish. Out of the 3 wet seasonings, the Buffalo wings stood out among the rest with the delightful vinegar based cayenne pepper hot sauce.

Chicken Wings 3/5

For the dry seasonings, there are Rajin Cajun, Citrus Pepper, Italian Herb, Vurry Curry and Jamaican Jark. We had the Vurry Curry and Italian Herb. The latter has a very nice aroma which we can detect from a distance that smelled like the familiar Taiwan deep fried chicken steak (炸鸡排).

IMG_9994ed

While the sauces were painstakingly homemade from scratch using over 75 different spices, herbs and ingredients, the lovely seasonings were let down by the skinny deep fried chicken wings that probably has been put through a strict diet. In terms of flavours, the eatery is on the right track but they probably need to consider using more succulent chicken wings to win over the patron's palate. Will this specialty chicken wings concept be a success? Only time can tell.
