Jin Wei (Kimly) Zi Char Stall @ Yishun

I think I first posted a review about this stall way back in Aug 07 (http://belyl.wordpress.com/2007/08/25/my-dinner-at-a-zi-char-stall/). It had been 2 years and I am still patronising this stall cos the food is simply delicious and the service of their serving staff are quite good (for a coffeeshop zi char stall).

They had another branch in Serangoon and I blogged about it in my previous posting (http://belyl.wordpress.com/2009/08/04/kimly-steamboat-seafood-serangoon/)

Ordered this crispy chicken that had been deboned 90%. The chicken skin had been roasted so crisp that you can hardly find any fat in it. The usual price is $14 but there is currently a promotion going on and it’s selling for $9.

This handmade beancurd dish was recommended by the aunty taking our orders. She suggested this to us after we told we want something different from the usual beancurd dish that they usually served. This one comes with clams, prawns, scallops and other veg. Very delicious. ($12 for this serving)

Stir Fried Di Wang Miao ($8)

This is another dish that the aunty recommended. Pork Ribs with fried banana slices ($12). This is delicious.

Dessert is complimentry. Sweet Corn Pudding… yum yum

Had a delicious delicious dinner with my family at Jin Wei Seafood at Serangoon. This is a Zi Chai stall located in a coffeeshop but the food served are very delicious.

Longevity Noodles (Medium size serving – $15). This serves approx 8 pax.

 

This noodle is very delicious. The noodles tasted quite q.

 

Spinach with black fungus, beancurd sticks and wolfberries. A very light dish. Quite nice. ($10)

 

 

This is the handmade speciality tofu. Very soft and tender and it’s simply delicious. We would always order this dish whenever we ate at this place. There’s a promo going on now. It cost $8 instead of the usual $10.

 

 

Pork Ribs (Pai Gu Wang) $8 for this small serving. The meat is very very tender and it’s well flavoured.

 

 

Ngor Hiang ($8).

 

  

Fish Maw with Seacumber in a pot. The fishmaw and sea cucumber is so soft. The sauce was delicious too. Goes well with rice. Yummy. ($15 per pot)

 

 

Steamed Red Groupa in Teochew Style ($38)

 

FOC Agar Agar dessert. Whenever we ate at this zi char stall, they would always serve their customers complimentary agar agar dessert

 

 

 Total cost for all the food and 4 plates of rice and wet towels cost $123.60. I did not post the pics of the orange sauce pork ribs cos it was very blur.

Dinner at Lu Gang Xiao Zhen – the Asian Kitchen @ Ion Orchard

Had dinner with my family at Lu Gang Xiao Zhen (Asian Kitchen) @ Ion Orchard yesterday evening. Been there once on a weekday lunch with my colleagues and I remembered we queued for quite a while then. So this time round I went there earlier (around 6.30 pm) to queue for a table for dinner. However, when I reached there, I was pleasantly surprised that there wasn’t any queue and I was able to get a table immediately.

Ordered the Herbal Guitar Duck – Small Serving ($11.70). Duck meat was tender and there is a slight herbal taste. But if you compare this to the ones sold at Dian Xiao Er, I would prefer the ones at the latter as the herbal taste is much stronger.

Soup of the Day – Lotus with pork ribs soup – $7.70. It serves approx 2-3 pax. Tasted ok. Would be better if some red dates were added to enhance the taste of the soup.

You Tiao with Pineapple cubes Salad – $5.90. The You Tiao wasn’t that crispy anymore and tasted a bit soft. Perhaps it had been left mixed with the salad dressing for quite a while.

Their famous Eggy Rice with braised meat and chestnut. Tasted like what my grandma would cook. Yum yum yum. $5.90 per serving

Another of their speciality – Stir fried Four Seasons Beans with Salt Egg Yolk. Very nice and crunchy. I really loved this dish.

Total bill for the dinner came up to approx $62 (inclusive of 3 Eggy rice + 1 bowl of white rice + 1 soy bean drink with pearls) for 4 pax. Pretty reasonable.

The soy bean drink doesn’t taste that great. Don’t think would be getting that again the next time I am there. I noticed that the queues started forming at around 7 pm and I am glad that I came earlier to queue.

At the mmoment this restaurant do not accept reservations. It’s on a first come first serve basis. However, I checked with the restaurant manager, he said that perhaps they would accept reservations later on.
