Shi Hui Yuan @ Lau Pat Sa Festival Market - 4 Times Michelin Bib Gourmand Winner Opens New Stall

ShiHuiYuan9

Started in Mei Ling Market and Food Centre in 1969, Shi Hui Yuan has been awarded Michelin Bib Gourmand for 4 consecutive years from 2016 to 2019. Recently it opened a new stall at Lau Pat Sa Festival Market, whereby it is more central. I think its location is ideal for introducing the delicious dish to the younger working crowd as well as tourists.

Blissful Set 4.5/5

The stall offers up to ten different combinations to pair with their silky hor fun. Since I have never been to their flagship stall and it is my first time having it. I decided to go for the Blissful Set ($7.80) that comes with almost everything. In my plate, there are chicken drumstick, duck drumstick, spare ribs, braised egg and mushrooms.

The thing that makes the plate of hor fun special is the aromatic gravy that consists of 30 different types of herbs. It gives it a unique take which is somewhat in between of Ipoh Hor Fun and local Cze Char Hor Fun.

Braised Chicken Hor Fun 4.2/5

That is not all, the well-braised items completed the whole package. I would highly recommend their braised chicken feet and spare ribs.

Swan-ky New Festives at Orchard Hotel Singapore

OrchardHotel19

For this festive season, Orchard Hotel Singapore launches a renewed collection of dining offerings with a swan-ky spirit. Taking centre stage in the lobby is the Royal Swan Festive Goodie House, featuring seven larger-than-life royal swans which represent 'Seven Swans a-swimming', as made famous in the Christmas carol "The Twelve Days of Christmas".

The Royal Swan Goodie house fascinates with its almost fairytale-like setup, featuring not just festive Takeaways, but also Christmas ornaments such as musical snow globes. The front is lined up with Christmas Festive Cakes such as Homemade Confit Orange & Lemon Stollen ($42), Rich Christmas Fruit Cake ($48), and bringing the entire family of Santa Village is the Chocolate and Confectionery, with items like Tiered Christmas Tree ($28), Snowman Senior ($18), Santa Speedster ($22), Rudolph ($14), Snowman Lolly ($10), amongst many others. You will be tempted to tune the "Wicklein" Tuning Musical-Box Tin with Fine Oblaten($39.90) and be drawn into the magical sound of Christmas.
