However at Yu’s family kitchen it’s a whole new level of art and finesse. Just the appetizer alone is mind blowing.
.
.
16 seasonal sichuan vegetables were served. Thereafter arranged into 4s for specific definition of good health and prosperity. .
.
Just look at how some of the vegetables are braided and tied.
.
.
After the cold dishes we had a pork floss biscuit shaped as the brush head of Chinese pain brushes as a cleanser before the hot dishes. 😯
.
.
We were lucky to be able to reserve a dinner at #yusfamilykitchen as they have almost stopped all their operations in Sichuan so as to prepare for their move to LA next year. This private kitchen used to be popular among govt officials until recent changes in the Chinese govt in the past few years. .

I always had a preference for herbal Bak Kut Teh rather than peppery garlic soup 😅.
.
.
In the quiet neighborhood of West coast Ayer rajah is this hidden gem! The BKT($6.00) is herbally, balanced and super comforting for the rainy season. And always a perfect combination w warm braised peanuts & salted vege ($1.50)
.
.
The braised pig trotter was super tender and flavorful. In a lot of BKT shops there’s a limited number of braised items you can get but here you can get trotter, pork belly, bean curd and egg! Definitely value for money! .

All my favourite in a cup! Red bean + Gula Melaka + herbal jelly + chendol jelly. What else can you ask for? Though I initially was expecting milk tea then I realised it’s “Gula Melaka chendol milk” 😂
.
I must say the chendol jelly is better than some crappy dessert shops!
.
Only $2.80 for a M cup till end of the month with purchase of regular items!

Being a “student” means you can get this M cup at $2.80. The tangyness of grapefruit really complements the green tea!

The Hong Kong eating experience is and will always be truly unique.

Super juicy goose meat and crunchy goose skin. 😋 Hands down better than the other Michelin starred Kam’s (totally non bias opinion😛). .
.
And I realised I really don’t like hk styles char Siew? No caramel sauce, no sweetness, just hoisin, soy sauce, salt, w a tinge of pepper in theirs. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤷‍♀️

This area is called hell’s valley due to the many sulphur geysers in the area that’s always spewing smoke. .
.
This spicy seafood Yakisoba is fitting for its nickname. 👍🏻 The fresh sashimi and scallops here are also a must have. 😋😋

I think it’s the combination of fresh shredded vege, plain vermicelli, grilled meat, and sweet tangy chilli sauce...

Aston’s famous for their value for money western food chain. However, they also have aji ishi, a value for money Japanese concept. The food served here is affordable and delicious! They only use Koshihikari rice imported from Niigata and their tonkotsu broth is boiled for 12 hours everyday.
.
🍴
At $15.90 each whether kurobuta pork or angus beef, it is a steal! You get a creamy thick broth with assorted vegetables and nicely sliced meats.
.
🍴
Other than nabes, they also have this refreshing cold noodles that’s good to slurp on on a hot day and the classic curry cutlet rice.
.

Thank you @kenpgl for extending the invitation and @aji.ichi & @kallangwavemall for hosting.

Sea salt + lychee is a pretty good combi, except this soft serve melts faster than I can say “I got served in Singapore” 😂
.

($4.70 each for regular) 1 for 1 with #burpplebeyond .

Flavour were good and texture was nice with it being slightly sticky. However it can be heavy on the palate after you eat half of it. (Could be due to the cheese 🤔🤔) .
.
I think these are made for sharing, better to have 2 person sharing one!

I love how the sweet potato converts the soft serve to something more like a gelato. Slightly sticky, Fuller mouthfeel and melts onto your palate. .
.
Available at taka pop up till 6th sept!
