Master Tang Wanton Mee @ Sixth Avenue - The Return Of The Old Master

I finally dragged my feet and made my way down to Sixth Avenue to check out Master Tang Wanton Mee after all the media hype of his re-opening in Bukit Timah. Master Tang is already in his 80s. Accordingly to online sources, Mr Tang used to be the head chef of crystal jade kitchens and was the brainchild behind their signature wanton mee.

Wanton Noodles 3/5

Since so much is said about the Wanton Noodles ($3.50), I have to order a plate to try myself. This is the Hong Kong style wanton noodles, so do not expect any char siew. It only comes with 4 small size wantons and a few leaves of chye sim. The noodles are thin and springy with a good bite to it. Unfortunately I do not like the alkaline taste on the noodles. Saying that I thought the sauce complemented the noodle excellently.

Beef Brisket Noodles 3.5/5

Since we have already made the trip down to the stall, we also ordered a plate of the Beef Brisket Noodles ($6) to try. I preferred this over the wanton noodles partly due to the fact that the rich and savoury braising sauce helps to mask the alkaline taste of the noodles. Not getting the star on the plate is the beef brisket and tendon that have been stewed until tender soft.

I have not tried Master Tang's previous cooking, so my judgement is purely on my visit. The noodles I had did not quite justify the media attention that has been given to him. I was left puzzled on the hype. Maybe age has caught up with him. Not to forget he is already in his 80s.

Edge @ Pan Pacific Hotel Singapore - Surf And Turf Tuesday

Both crustacean and meat lovers will love Tuesdays even more with the brand new Surf & Turf buffet at award-winning Edge at Pan Pacific Hotel Singapore. Chef de Cuisine Ken Zheng has curated a delicious spread of ocean-fresh seafood and artisanal cuts where customers can have the best of both world.

Seafood 4.5/5

Surfing through the long buffet line, I landed with a plate of crustacean on ice. I had fresh oysters, alaskan king crabs, prawns, scallops and clams, kicking start the feast.

Braised Wagyu Beef Short Rib with Seared Hokkaido Scallop 4/5

Wagyu Rump 4.2/5

For the meat lovers, the Whole Baby Lamb and the slab of beautiful Wagyu Rump definitely caught my attention. There is even a push cart going around the restaurant serving on table side Braised Wagyu Beef Short Rib with Seared Hokkaido Scallop.

Indian Food 4/5

It is not just about seafood and meat on the buffet line. Pretty impressive among the spread is the Indian dishes which spiced up the whole experience with a huge varieties of selection.

Satay 4/5

One of my favourite sections among the buffet line is the Satay which comes with a variety of meat and seafood on skewers.

Wok Fried Fish Noodles with Roasted Pork and Yellow Chives 4/5

A new introduction to the buffet is the live wok station that fired up an aromatic plate of Wok Fried Fish Noodles with Roasted Pork and Yellow Chives.

Japanese Curry Katsu Rice 3/5

An interesting item I noticed on the spread is the Japanese Curry Katsu Rice. I could not help myself to a plate of it as you don't usually get to have it on the buffet line.

Dessert 4/5

And what a fitting way to conclude the indulgent dining experience with a lip smacking spread of desserts. You will need a second stomach to eat through the dessert section.
