Hungry Ghost

I must have walked past TungLok Teahouse at least a hundred times yet I have never tried the food there until I went there for a business lunch. Interior The interior reminds me of a Hong Kong cha chaan teng with stripped  sofas in red and green colors. Industrial lamps in bright colors and black-and-white patterned floor tiles adds to the nostalgic ambiance. Dim Sum We started off with a few dim sums to whet our appetite from the   Dim Sum Menu. Teahouse Signature Cheong Fun   一品海皇粉肠   [S$12.90 for 6 pieces] is such an interesting play on the classic chee cheong fun. The shrimps and scallions encased in crispy fried dough fritter gives such an interesting texture with the soft cheong fun on the outside. Scallop and Prawn Dumpling 凤眼带子饺   [S$7.90 for 3 piece] is like the premium version of the classic siew mai. Instead of pork filling, this dim sum is filled with a whole prawn and scallop. It’s so satisfying to put the whole piece in my mouth and taste the explo...

  Sen Sen Sushi, the premium sushi restaurant by Don Don Donki, has opened a new outlet in Jurong East. This new outlet is located on level 3 of JEM, just besides Don Don Donki on the same floor. Sen Sen Sushi I thought it is a conveyer belt sushi restaurant like   Sushi Express, but it’s actually a bullet train restaurant like   Genki Sushi. You order by scanning the QR code provided and your food is delivered on bullet trains on the track in front of you. You also get a wet a towel and a small packed container of wasabi. There are regular seasonal items such as this   Hokkaido Premium Scallop 3 pieces   [S$6.80] which comes in 3 flavors - plain, teriyaki sauce and salt sauce. I recommend eating from the right, from the lightest taste to heaviest taste. These scallops are so plump and sweet, they taste really fresh. I am a total salmon fan so I got the   Salmon Sushi Assortment   [S$10.80] where I get a plate of 6 pieces of salmon sushi. Again, I reco...

  Seoul Garden recently opened a new outlet in Clementi Mall. This new outlet has seating capacity of 60. Seoul Garden Seoul Garden offers barbecue and steamboat for one price. There are three tier to choose from - Regular, Premier and Supreme. You can find the prices   here . The best part about Seoul Garden is halal-certified, so Muslim families can dine here without worry. There is a small section of cooked foods such as fried dumplings and Korean rice cake which you can eat while your food is cooking. There are 16 types of marinated meats plus different type of vegetables and steamboat ingredients to choose from. However, there is very limited seafood options with only prawns, mussels and scallops. The seafoods are not that fresh either, the scallops are pretty dry. There is also free-flow ice-cream for dessert. Don’t be expecting any fancy flavors, it’s just your basic vanilla, strawberry and chocolate ice-creams. Conclusion There is a reason why I have not been to Seoul ...
