Yummy Recipe

The name of this restaurant says it all. It was recommended by one of our friends and if you are not a regular of this place, you would not even know it existed. Their regulars and office workers around the area locally haunts this place. And from what we hear you better make a booking before you turn up or risk going home with an empty stomach.

Stumbled upon this little Ipoh corner. Accidental find and a good one too! Definitely a must try if you are around this neck of the woods. My favourite had to be the Special Sauce Ho Fun with shredded chicken bits. Worth a try! :)

Platypus (Lobster Shack)

Bar style Decor and definitely a place you wanna come pop by after work drinks accompanied with your cravings for lobster rolls. After all everyone says lobsters goes well with beer! 😜

Red Miso & Sesame (No Mayo) lobster roll - Nice akimiso infused lobster meat with aged soy sauce. But I think it's too fusion for my liking. Nice but could be better..

Spicy Roasted Garlic - the butter poached lobster meat was marinated well but the garlic flakes and mayo drowned it a tad too much. Still taste great! 😊

Took a gamble to try and visit this place during a Sunday and look at the crowd! Luckily they managed to sit 3 of us on a small table with minimal wait. Otherwise if we would have come here on Fri or Sat we will be left with a hungry stomach as you will not get a seating on a busy night.

This is on a Sunday! Place is packed. Make sure to reserve before coming.

Southern fried chicken = Awesome & Satisfied!

Plain corn and slaw. Simple and good.

The sauce on the mayo was nicely balanced and the fries were seasoned perfectly as well.

We did not manage to order any of the dungeoness crabs but I heard it's their signature. The selection we had was enough to feed our hungry bellies. 

The sauce is just nice and and not overwhelming. I'll definitely be back to get my hands tucked into those dungeoness crabs next time round! 😜

A sense of nostalgia just around your door step. We stumbled upon this little gem on the corner as we drove past Carpmael Rd. From the outside you could already tell that this place has stopped time in the 70-80s' because of their antique furnitures! :)
They have a lovely array of furnitures which the owner (Frederick Puah) collects and apparently what you see in the restaurant is not all of his treasures as he has the good ones stashed away in his private collection!

Nice collection of beautifully decorated antiques. There's more inside!!

Beef stew - It's their signature dish here and it's a must try!

Good ol Pork chop with that sweet and sour sauce that always brings you back memories. Great for children coz I know my daughter devoured it within minutes it arrived!

Bacchanalia

This place was well recommended by our foodie friends. So we went on a double date to check out this restaurant. Bacchanalia have been around since last year and they are very well known in Singapore to provide great quality fusion food from the freshest produce. Everything served here is made from scratch and guaranteed no processed food! Heck they even strapped a GoPro camera on their forehead while they are cooking to show you. (You can see them projecting the video on the wall whilst you are dining so you can be sure) =P

The meaning of Bacchanalia basically means "a Roman festival of Bacchus celebrated with dancing, song and revelry". For us it was like a celebration without our children around. I must say it was probably the best dinner we ever had! haha. For those parents with children reading, I bet you are agreeing with me. =P.

And so we ordered an orgy array of food to share and taste. And boy I tell you we probably ordered 65% of their menu. Since it was sharing concept heck why not just load up! haha. Below are 'some' of the dishes we had.....

Rice & Coconut (creamy coconut risotto, chilli paste, fermented coconut, Thai inspired flavors)

A Different Vegetable Salad (organic cameron highland greens & seasonal root vegetables, roasted & pickled with braised banana hearts, banana purée, ponzu veil)

Calamari Grenobloise (grilled calamari, violet artichokes, hasselback potatoes, artichoke purée, sauce grenobloise)

HD Scallops (norwegian hand dived scallops, borlotti beans, kalix caviar, cocoa)

Steak & Sauce Rossini (365 days grain fed petit tender beef, cauliflower mushroom, celeriac, foie gras & red wine jus, potato crisp)

Chicken Cnocchi (grilled chicken breast, vermouth emulsion, house-made gnocchi, grapefruit & red onion salad)

Duck & Carrots (al mattone duck magret, carrot purée & salad, chickpea panisse, sweet & sour duckjus)

French Onion Soup (80c caramelised onion broth, crispy cheddar nuggets, rye bread, onion marmalade & ricotta)

Tiramisu (marsala mousse, coffee ganache, cocoa gel, blackcurrant sorbet)

The Chocolate Cake (chocolate sponge cake, caramelised white chocolate mousse, strawberry jam & strawberry sorbet)

Downtown Manhattan

Monkey Triple

Overall the food here is awesome and my favourite dish that stood out was the 'Chicken Gnocchi'. Their chicken breast was perfectly smooth in texture and so tender that it melts in your mouth. The host mentioned to us that there was a lot of thought process been put together to create this dish. So all we had to do was enjoy every bite of it.  Definitely recommended for you chicken fans!
