DBS indulge presents: A masterclass with Yong Bing Ngen at the AFC Studio

Date: September 28, 2011 • By • Comments 0

When I heard about the invitation to an AFC Studio event, I was stoked! The AFC Studio is a culinary haven where all gourmands, foodies and homemakers can call their second home. In particular avid fans of the Asian Food Channel like myself, who watch the channel religiously, daily! In fact, it serves as a studio for the filming of original AFC productions.

Since its opening in 2009, the AFC studio has hosted many AFC celebrity chefs and a number of other culinary talents from around the world. Check out the wall of fame!

Shi Wei Tian (食唯天) – Taste of Nostalgia Part 1 of 2

Date: August 16, 2011 • By • Comments 2

Forenote: C.Y., my guest blogger, dined here as their guest.

I’ve always found that the best food are those that feel closer to one’s heart .  You’ll immediately get this warm fuzzy feeling inside when you eat them.  Food with rich history appeals to me the most; I love old places that have tenants running their little establishments for years.  Shi Wei Tian (食唯天), albeit new in the scene, hails with recipes passed down from generations.

Li Bai Chinese Restaurant

Century Egg with Vinegar Ginger (S$8++)

I’ve always wanted to go to Li Bai - It’s one of those restaurants that seem to have been around for the longest time yet never had the chance to visit.

Located in the Sheraton Towers along Scotts Road, the venerable Cantonese restaurant is the flagship of the hotel. With heightened expectations, we went for lunch. Unfortunately, from what we had that day, I did not quite feel like it warrants a return visit. Perhaps I should have ordered from the dim sum ala carte menu or the ala carte menu instead of their set lunches. If I were to re-visit Li Bai, I would order straight from either of those menus.

Hai Tien Lo - HungryEpicurean - Singapore Food Blog

And so the hunt for dim sum here in Singapore continues…..This time, 37 storeys above ground at Hai Tien Lo, Pan Pacific Hotel.

The views from the restaurant of the Bay area are rather excellent, coupled with their better-than-average dim sum, Hai Tien Lo is definitely one for the keeps (Especially if Royal China is full and unable to accomodate your reservation.)

Royal China Dim Sum Raffles Hotel - HungryEpicurean - Singapore Food Blog

I’ve always known of the existence of this really good restaurant that serves awesome dim sum at Raffles Hotel but never had the chance to give it a try.

Both the friend and I both had a severe dim sum craving that weekend and we just had to pay a visit to dim sum establishment; Granted it was a toss  up between Wah Lok at Carlton and Royal China at Raffles, but I am glad that we chose Royal China.

Now that I have tried it, Royal China is easily THE restaurant for dim sum now!

Hong Kong - Tim Ho Wan - World's cheapest 1-Michelin star

If there is one thing that I miss from Hong Kong – it has got to be the avaibility of excellent dim sum! Choices are available, seemingly at every corner of the island to suit any budgets. On the one hand you have Man Wah and Lung King Heen etc. for Michelin-starred (and expensive) dim sum and on the other you have traditional tea houses like Lin Heung.

For those of you who get to have dim sum at the likes of Man Wah, lucky you; For the rest of us, Tim Ho Wan is here!

Hong Kong: Mandarin Oriental In-Room Dining Fish & Chips

Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong In Room Dining - HungryEpicurean - Singapore Food Blog

Continuing on from posts of my recent trip to Hong Kong, is a review of Chinnery’s Fish and Chips, served in-room.

Just the day earlier, I had an excellent weekend wine brunch at 2 Michelin Starred Amber at the nearby Landmark Mandarin Oriental. Feeling the effects of the alcohol, I decided to eat in.

The Deep Fried Battered Pollock was good, it was not excellent, but good enough! I was surprised that, even the time it took for them to send the meal to me, the batter remained crispy. I was pretty sure that beer was used in this batter – it had a hint of beer in it.

I too was happy to see that the fish was not too oily, which probably helped the fish to retain its crispyness too.

Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong In Room Dining

In Room Dining at Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong

My Cathay Pacific flight (P.S. they served one of the worst omelettes unfortunately) touched down at the Hong Kong International Airport at 12pm exactly; I was starving by the time that I reached the hotel and completed all the necessary check-in procedures.

Really, that meant only one thing – it was lunch time. I needed to unpack and reply a few important emails; so I did the unthinkable: Order In-Room Dining.

On hindsight, what was I thinking – Ordering in-room dining service on an overseas trip, in Hong Kong no less. By the way, it is times like these when those daily hotel credits come into play!

Thankfully, what I had ordered did not disappoint!

Read on to see the two dishes that I ordered from the menu!

Imperial Treasure Peking Duck

Ah..  Peking duck. I feel deeply in love with them from the moment I visited Beijing back in 2004!

Can Singapore’s Imperial Treasure live up to the ones that I’ve tried in Beijing? Read on to find out! For one, the chef brings the entire duck out and slices them up, right in front of your table. Talk about skills! These guys made slicing the skins off the duck seem like an easy task.
