Honeymoon Dessert @ VivoCity

Two of our colleagues went over to Vivocity to shop during lunch time and came back with desserts for all of us!

They were so kind not to eat there, but buy them back so that we could have it as well!
Here are two takeaway containers of the dessert that my colleague and I who share an office had:

* Mango Pomelo and Sago Sweet Soup *

The pomelo was packed separately in a smaller container. The takeaway container was in a good portion size.




It was nice. The mango as you can see is a bit over ripe. (Is this the usual HK style to have it a bit ripe? I had something similar in HK a few months back and it's also over riped mangoes)

The texture is nice and smooth. It's rather creamy but with the sago, pomelo and mango chunk size, it was quite a delight to put in your mouth.

* I can't remember what this is called *

It's been some time and I forgot what this was called!



All I remembered that it was cold and nice bite with the little tadpoles in it.
I think the white pieces were tofu!

Hong Kong Kim Gary Restaurant : Gigantic Toasts & Stuff

Phew. Today's blogger lets me load without any glitch.
Here goes...

The big huge thick toasts. This is butter and condensed milk.



This is the peanut butter version. Also covered with condensed milk. This is delicious!



We ordered set meals. Some sets come with soup. Cute little bowls.



Not sure what's the name of this, but this is rice dish which colleague said is not bad.



Another 2 colleague ordered baked rice. This is the chicken that is baked on the plate separately from the rice.



3 of us ordered this dish. It's spicy korean noodles. It comes with sausages, ham, 2 portions of the chicken wing, sunny side up egg, 2 slices of pink fish cake. We did not know it would be so big!



This is the side dish we ordered. Baked Cheesy Chicken Wings.
If we knew that we already have chicken wings in our noodles, we would not ordered and had to eat so much! But its delicious, the wings!



We also ordered a few kinds of drinks.

Hong Kong Kim Gary Restaurant @ Vivo City

Instant noodles on steroids! That was what I wanted to put for the header! haha..

Yesterday, we celebrated one colleague's birthday by going down to Vivo City for lunch. Someone suggested Kim Gary, so off we went there...

That's colleagues in front of the shop. The address is there too.



We sat down and the menu came.



It seems this might be the only branch in Singapore. There are 10 branches in Malaysia. The famous one is in Sungai Wang Plaza, KL.

Sorry ah. Blogger is not allowing me to upload the rest of the pictures, been trying for the last 15 mins. I will post the food pictures tomorrow. Going to sleep liao...

Dian Xiao Er - Herbal Roast Duck

Welcome to this new series. This time it's food from Dian Xiao Er.

They have branches in both Marina Sq and Vivo City. The pictures here are from Vivo City. As usual, the pictures in this blog are taken so that you can see for yourself how it looks and not the "official version" from their website. The dishes in this series are all part of a set meal that we ordred.

The shop front at Vivo City.




This is the famed Herbal Roast Duck from this restaurant.


Well, it is actually quite nice actually. Heard that people queue up just to eat this duck. The duck has crispy skin, the meat is moist inside, and a very pleasant, not too overpowering herbal taste.

Crystal Jade Dining In - Mango Pudding

Crystal Jade Dining In - Mango Pudding

If you love mango pudding, you absolutely must try this version here. As you know, most puddings are just the pudding.

But this version has:
1. Pudding made of mango
2. Pieces of the mango fruit itself inside the mango
3. Mango Juice with Sago
4. Bits of pomelo sacs
5. A piece of mint leaf
6. A cherry on top



We were actually quite full, but our little cousin loves mango pudding, so we thought, make her happy and order one. Guess what? When it arrived, each of us took a bite each and it was all gone!

Crystal Jade Dining In - Ee-fu noodles with roasted port, preserved sausage and vegetable

Crystal Jade Dining In - Ee-fu noodles with roasted pork, preserved sausage and vegetable - $20

This dish is actually quite delicious. I like it very much



Do you all enjoy looking at the photos? Drop some comments to let me know if anyone's visiting :-)

Crystal Jade Dining In - White Fish with Fig in Citrus Sauce

Crystal Jade Dining In - White Fish with Fig in Citrus Sauce

If you like fish, you might want to try this dish. I feel like I am eating Fish with Jam, but my sis and little cousin likes it.



The fish's does not have the fishy smell, there are many pieces of figs. Real orange pieces are cut up and used as ingredients to make this fish dish quite delicious.

Crystal Jade Dining In - WaterCrest and Pork Soup

Crystal Jade Dining In - WaterCrest and Pork Soup

I love the soups at any Crystal Jade. It's second best to mummy's soup.



This is the water crest and pork soup. Sometimes they serve in individual bowls like this, the other time I went, they served in a big pot. (But that was Apple and Pork Soup, even more delicious!)

Crystal Jade Dining In - Baked Local Spinach with Egg in Casserole

Crystal Jade Dining In - Baked Local Spinach with Egg in Casserole - $16

This is what the people there said is special. Hmmm. It's not bad. It looks like a huge creme brule to me.



The veg are all inside, covered in egg and baked in the oven to crisp the top. Maybe they used a blow torch.

Crystal Jade Dining In - Beef with Mushroom

This is a new restaurnat in Vivo City. If you enjoy chinese fine dining, you should visit this place. The food's superb, their concept is on 'fresh, healthy and nutritious'. The presentation is excellent too!


Crystal Jade Dining In - Beef with Mushroom



The beef is medium done and the different mushroom complements the dish so nicely.


For this first post on this series, maybe I should show something extra and some tips as well.


Look at the plate and bowl. Very zen.


If you have never been a place with displays 2 pairs of chopsticks. Just to let you know, the black pair is for you to take food from the main plates. The silver pair is for you to eat with. ie put food in your mouth. Now you know :-)
