Media Tasting at Le Fusion

The adventures where the husband and wife explored around the world with their favourite eats at Le Fusion. Le Fusion is a chic restaurant and bar where East meets West with a fearless revolt against convention. It’s hard not to notice the bold red pendant lamps, Le Fusion’s wall is decorated with graffiti-esque pop art and neon signs spotted at the bar.

We were greeted with a lovely Focaccia Rose Mantou. The rose-shaped mantou is made in-house with a side of vinaigrette dressing. The yellowish side is made from pumpkin while the other side is original flour with bits of oregano herbs.

My first introduction to a slice of foie gras on a bed of Chinese glutinuous rice. Though it is served with in-house tangy sauce, I can’t seem to link sticky glutinous rice with buttery foie gras. Just my opinion, you might like this combination? I do enjoy the slightly roasted sweet corn with foie gras.

Rougie foie gras at S$25 per portion.

The Imperial Double-Boiled Soup at Le Fusion is a rendition of “Buddha Jumps Over The Wall” overloaded with premium ingredients including abalone, scallop, dried oyster and Chinese herbs. The premium nu er hong rice wine served by the side is a great way to add a little at each time so that the taste profile doesn’t overpower another. The soup was rich and bursting full of flavour. Not forgetting the pork cooked to tender with decent fats.

Imperial Double-Boiled Soup at S$28 per portion.

Incredibly tender pork belly topped with golden crunchy crackling! It is accompanied with marinated salted vegetables, mayonanaise and crushed peanuts, all sandwiched with mantou.

Crispy Pork Belly Mantou at S$12 per portion.

If you can’t get enough of the crispy pork belly, you should order this! Definitely one of my favourite dishes for the night! The pork roulade is like a thicker version of the crispy pork belly mantou dish. Savoury sausage meat acts as a hidden surprise, found in the centre of the stuffing. I do enjoy the sweet bursting of the baby tomato soaked in Shanghaiese plum wine.

Crispy pork roulade at S$32 per portion.

The Chinese mui fan upgraded to Braised Abalone Seafood Rice with Tasmania 6-head abalone, scallops, fish, squids, mussels and two large prawns in Chef’s special savoury consomme. The rich, brown, prawn stock consomme blankets the rice adds a more nuanced taste to our plain rice.

Braised Abalone Seafood Rice at S$38 per portion.

Coated with breadcrumbs and provencal herbs, the lamb racks are also accompanied with bits of mandarin orange skins and Szechuan pepper that seemed to lighten the gamey flavour of the lamb.

Asian Crusted Provencal Lamb Rack at S$46 per portion.

The Australian Augustus beef tender has an even pink blush thoughout and a melt-in-the-mouth texture. Tsingtao beer infusion adds an extra punch of flavour to the beef.

Tsingtao Beef Fillet (180g) at S$42.

Bold and bright colours of green pesto, red chilli crab and sesame squid ink shout for an Instagram post. They’re so colourful and pretty in photo. Priced at S$34, I would expect more as the taste is decent.

Trio pasta at S$34 portion.

Ends off the meal with Le Fusion Chendol and Panna Cotta with Sweet Glutinous.

Le Fusion Chendol is nicely layered with chendol, kidney beans, jelly, crushed ice drizzled with coconut milk and Baileys cream. I would have enjoyed more if there’s heavier Baileys cream.

The Panna Cotta with black glutinous rice dessert was a little too sweet to my liking.

Le Fusion Chendol/ Panna Cotta with Sweet Glutinous at S$14 each.

Media Tasting at No Signboard

The modern look and feel of No Signboard at Esplanade outlet has sharpened its food styling of Signature and classic dishes with a menu revamp. Under No Signboard Holdings are No Signboard Seafood, Little Sheep Hot Pot, Mom’s Touch Korean Chicken & Burger and beer brand Draft Denmark. What to expect under the new revamped menu? Incorporate Chinese cuisine with a mix of Western and Japanese influence dishes like Wagyu Beef Cube in Sichuan Style and more. And also popular dishes hailed from No Signboard Kitchen restaurant in Shanghai including Heirloom Beetroot Foie Gras and more.

Heirloom Beetroot Foie Gras has given a French flair to traditional Chinese cuisine. The beautiful plated savoury foie gras is coated with beetroot and had the creamy texture inside.

Heirloom Beetroot Foie Gras at S$28.

Wagyu Beef Cubes in Sichuan Style looks like spring is back with flora and greens. Firm and decently tender beef cubes in the wonders of sharp, pungent and spicy with a hint of sweet black bean paste.

Wagyu Beef Cubes in Sichuan Style at S$68.

The crowd-pleaser, grilled portobello mushroom is one of my favourite dishes. These giant portobello mushrooms turned out slightly smoky, super juicy, and charred. You can see this dish got wiped out very quickly.

Grilled Portobello Mushroom at S$32.

The live Sri Lankan chilli crab bathed in rich piquant chilli sauce, well-balanced and aromatic. The crab is so fresh that the meat doesn’t sticks to the shell. And the shell is full of juicy meat and I can easily pull out a solid piece of tender and sweet meat as a reward. I’ve never had a better macaroni dish soaked with chilli crab sauce. What’s even better? Scoop some crab roes along with macaroni, it’s so addictive!

Chilli Sri Lanka Crab with Macaroni starting from S$10 per 100g.

The bitter-sweet combination of coffee, hazelnut crumble makes these complex taste. A little disappointment as the meat was too tough to bite despite Kurobuta quality.

Expresso Kurobuta Pork Ribs with Hazelnut Crumble at S$15 per piece.

Appetising mango compote with a nice balance of sweet and sour and doesn’t have a bitter aftertaste.

Signature Fresh Mango Compote with Coconut Sago & Pomelo at S$10.

No Signboard at Esplanade outlet has lived to it’s name with a tantalising collection of dishes especially fresh seafood. My favourite dishes are Chilli Sri Lanka Crab with Macaroni, Heirloom Beetroot Foie Gras and Grilled Portobello Mushroom. However, service is lacking. I had informed one of the staffs that my friend will be late. Then, another staff tried to clear all the cutleries without asking. Afterwhich, hot dishes were served cold. Thankfully, there is another service crew who managed to salvage everything after all the hiccups.

If you have a sweet tooth and enjoy European pastry, sugar into high-end exquisite French pastry at newly opened pastry cafe, A Summer With Paris.

This is France’s highest accolade awarded for expertise and excellence.

Layered with coconut soft sponge, lemon marmalade, yuzu and lemon curd and finally yuzu light meringue. Watch as the flame of a blow torch over yuzu light meringue, giving a nice brown meringue. Something citrusy and sweet and had me back for seconds. I do enjoy the crumbly and cookie-like butter crust.

Tourbillon Lemon Tart at S$8.80.

Get rosy and cosy with these adorable pink dessert. The raspberry and grapefruit compotes have a wonderfully smooth taste, together with jasmine tea sponge, jasmine tea mousse swirled with dense and soft lychee cremeux.

PomPom at S$9.30.

One of my favourite desserts, the CHOUCHOU! Soft cocoa sponge cocoa sable with a deeply rooted intense dark chocolate mousse and cremeux, blackcurrant compote and finishes off with a dark chocolate chou puff on top. It’s like having a 2 in 1 dessert! The bitter undertones dark chocolate well balances the sweetness blackcurrant compote.

Chouchou at S$8.80.

Piled onto a dulcey cremeux, almond teacake and milk chocolate mousse. Choco’Dough gets an extra crunch from almond and milk chocolate crunchy whilst the sweet orange and mandarin marmalade gives a sweet kick to a refreshing sunny day treat.

Media Tasting at Empress Porridge

With its great success at its first establishment in NUH Medical Centre in September 2016, Empress Porridge has opened another outlet conveniently located close to One North Mrt Station.

Known for their conventional home cooked food at economical prices, Empress Porridge is sure to keep the crowds coming back for more of their classical dishes from their menu that rotates occasionally.

Introducing the porridge steamboat, a new set from the menu that brings Chinese traditional food back to the spotlight. This is one healthy steamboat set which you would not want to miss as it is slow cooked for hours to bring out the natural sweetness of the rice as well as to achieve the smooth grainless consistency. Also, enjoy adding in the ingredients that come with the set or add-ons from their list of additional ingredients at your own pace.

For just S$15 per pax, only available at their Galaxis outlet via reservations.

If the steamboat porridge set might not be your preference, you could always stick to their highly recommended Empress Porridge Set that comes with sides of your choice. The porridge was cooked with a mixture of brown and white rice, dried scallops, cuttlefish, dried shrimp, tender pork collar and braised peanut. It was so fragrant and tasty on its own!

The first side dish I tried was the carrot cake that retained a firm bite without being too soft and mushy. I was really enjoying that dish. The second side dish was the prawn paste chicken and it was just as addictive. Nicely fried, savoury and tender inside. Finished up the meal with a cup of warm rose tea as well.

For those busy individuals who do not have time to prepare meals at home, Empress porridge specially curate dinner menus that are both comforting and nutritious. Each set comes with 1 bowl of heartwarming soup, slow-cooked daily for up to eight hours, 3 hearty dishes and 1 variation of rice dish.

No commitment and minimum headcount required as orders are taken for a single day in the week and even for a single portion. Customers can choose to pick their pre-ordered dinner sets up without waiting and these healthy Take Home Dinner sets are available at a pocket-friendly price.

http://ift.tt/2mLu7zB Read on our visit to IPPIN Cafe Bar | Sustainable Seafood From World’s Famous Fishing Port by FoodGem

Media Tasting at Ippin Cafe Bar

As seen on news, our oceans are facing global crisis. 90% of fishing grounds in the world are already over-fished or fully exploited. Sustainable consumption of seafood is the best way to reverse this decline and prevent the predicted collapse of fish stocks for our future generation. I would be glad to share with you guys on Ippin Cafe Bar new menu of sustainable seafood from world’s famous fishing port, Kesennuma Shishiori. This new menu is available from 3 April 2017. Prices range from S$15 and above.

Kesennuma Shishiori, the world’s third largest fish port after Norway and Canada, is better known for being Japan’s biggest processor for bonito, swordfish and even sharks. The fish port is blessed with a bountiful variety of marine life that are attracted to the different sea temperature. Despite the bountiful of fishes, the local fishermen use radars to determine the types and quantity of fishes in the area to maintain a healthy balance in the ocean habitat. It is pleasant and be acquainted with a place in Japan, through food. Shishiori, a region in Kesennuma is one of a kind for superb tastes, delivered by means of one of the special high-tech strategies. Dining at Ippin Cafe Bar in another way also helps Kesennuma Shishiori economy after the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake.

Salmon flake rice ball with Tororo Konbu (Tangle shavings) flake.

Spicy tuna hand-rolled sushi.

Seared bonito sushi.

Simply love cheese in any form. This was even better, adding classic salted squid guts to transform a piece of regular cheese into a taste sensation!

Classic salted squid guts with cream cheese.

Smoked sanma roasted with garlic has less of the fishy taste. Delicate texture with an additional layer of smoky flavor after taste that lingers.

Smoked sanma roasted with garlic.

Among all, my favourite dish would be Shishiori Ikura Don. The main flavour is composed of fresh and salty ikura with sweet popping in every bite. These ikura are freezed in Japan retaining the nutritional contents, taste and texture then imported to Singapore. Don’t forget to perfect your meal with sake.

Honestly, I was shocked and feeling guilty when I saw shark’s meat offered on the table. Rest assure, the shark’s meats offered at Ippin Cafe Bar are caught using sustainable methods. Fishermen from Kesennuma Shishiori are able to determine the type of fishes in the area using radars, and are better decision makers to leave the area if a particular species is on the decrease.  I guess that there are some education to be held, knowing where your seafood comes from. In fairness to shark’s meat lovers, it is okay to eat as long as they are caught using sustainable fishing methods responsibly.

On a side track, you should try wakame from Ippin Cafe Bar. The better quality Japanese seaweed is thick and has a silky smooth texture.

Shark meat ball with seaweed and vegetable soup with yuzu ponzu vinegar.

Not a fan of tinned food however these have changed my perspective totally. It’s definitely one of the best tinned foods. Be it sweet or savoury, you can definitely find your favourite tin. So happy that I can cook some with my plain maggie mee on a lazy day. I’m gonna try these with fried rice soon.

As featured:

Buri-Daikon (Simmered yellowtail and daikon radish)

Mackerel simmered in miso in can

Seasoned pacific saury

Pair your meal with sake from Kesennuma.

Media Tasting at Ginza Lion

If you have yet to try freshly brewed beer, you have not been to Ginza Lion. A brief background of Ginza Lion Beer Hall. The first Beer Hall opened at Ginza Tokyo in 1899. It is known as “Yebisu Beer Hall”. Sapporo being the oldest beer brand in Japan Lion Quality, with more than 100 years of history. What’s the secret behind smooth and clear aftertaste? “Pouring beer in one action” is their way of enhancing the taste of beer. Sapporo beer has a strict temperature and time control; kept in a chiller at 2℃ for at least 24 hours. It is to make sure that the beer is settled down when it is poured. Through this process, the gas will have a smooth and clear aftertaste as the sharp bitterness are trapped in the foam, sealing the aromatic flavor of the beer.

Not a fan of beer, but Ginza Lion Sapporo Premium beer got me addicted for more. The beer is served in fashionable boot or mug or mass.

Ginza Lion Sapporo Premium beer at S$12* and only S$8* at happy hours. It’s definitely a steal!

At Ginza Lion eat your steak with wasabi and pair with Ginza Lion Sapporo Premium beer.  High quality Angus Roast Beef grilled to perfection; succulent, juicy meat with tenderness. Buzzing sensation in your mouth and nose so you should eat very small amounts of wasabi with your steak.

Angus Roast Beef at S$14* (100g – 1 slice) or S$28 (200g – 1 slice).

Spaghetti is well tossed with tomato and chilli sauce. It is topped with generous amount of deep fried soft shell crab and crabmeat. The ingredients were executed well with licking good sauce yet not too oily.

Soft Shell Crab and Crab Meat Spaghetti at S$20*.

This is one of my favourite dishes among all. Fried chicken extremely crispy on the outer yet remains tender and juicy on the inside. It’s so good that I can finish all 4 pieces and more! This dish is a perfect match with Sapporo Premium Beer, YUMMY!!!

Ginza Lion Secret Recipe Fried Chicken at S$12 (4 pieces) or S$20(8 pieces).

Beef stew with carrot, onion, celery, pomodoro and demi glace. Not a fan of beef stew after I’ve tried delicious Angus Roast Beef. This dish is pretty common, nothing to crave about.

Beef Stew in pomodoro sauce exclusive at Robertson outlet at S$16*.

The soy sauce flavoured chicken wing that is very crispy on the outside and pipping hot and juicy on the inside.

Deep fried chicken wing at S$12 (4 pieces) or S$20 (8 pieces).

You certainly must try the healthy matcha latte. The sweetness is just right with very fragrance matcha tea smell. I’ve become totally obsessed with first sip and can’t seem to stop!

Matcha Latte (Hot or cold at S$7*).

There’s something that you can’t miss having at a Japanese restaurant, DESSERT! Featuring the fluffy and light tiramisu. It also comes with vanilla ice cream with banana that have rich taste in vanilla extract.

Tiramisu Galore at S$12*.

Ginza Lion Executive Chef – Mr Jun Matsubara.

A friendly and talented Japanese chef that has rich experience working in F&B industry whose speciality is in Italian cooking. He graduated from one of Japan’s most prestigious cooking school at L’Ecole Culinaire Tsuji in Osaka, Japan. Not only that, he once won as a Pizza chef convention winner in a Japanese TV program titled “TV champion”. Besides cooking, he also enjoy football, snowboarding and wake boarding during his vacation.

The dining area is a vast space with beautiful columns and a relaxing high ceiling. Beautiful and relaxing ambience at Ginza Lion keeps you away from the busy city. It’s definitely recommended after work or weekend chill with friends and family.

http://ift.tt/2cc2taW Read on our visit to Amoy Street Food Gem | Hoo Kee Rice Dumpling – When One is Not Enough by FoodGem

Bak Chang, is also known as rice dumpling, that most of us enjoy eating during the Dragon Boat Festival. It happens on the 5th day of the 5th month of the traditional Chinese calendar and in June on our English calendar. As usual, the prices will most probably skyrocket during the seasonal period. So its better to eat now! And my all-time favourite rice dumpling stall is from Hoo Kee Bak Chang at Amoy Street Food Centre. Hoo Kee Bak Chang has 68 years of experience in making the rice dumplings. Making a traditional piece of rice dumpling is not an easy task. From cleaning the bamboo leaves to cooking rice, meat and other fillings to wrapping the ingredients in the soft bamboo leaf into the pyramid-shaped rice dumplings. These processes are made with love by hand.

Each piece of rice dumpling has classic marinated pork, roasted chestnuts and then wrapped in fragrant glutinous rice. Original flavour at S$2.80 each. If you wish for more flavours, go for salted egg yolk or mushroom at S$3.60 each. Salted egg yolk is the best seller flavour at Hoo Kee whereas mushroom is a healthier choice and has more texture in every bite.

One bak chang is estimated 276 calories, higher than a bowl of plain rice at 200 calories. It is so tasty that you might over eat. Enjoy feasting yet not overindulge.
