Saturday was the 5th day of Chinese New Year and my brother and I had lunch with mum at Yan Wo Seafood, Aman Suria.
It has been a long time since we visited this restaurant. Our previous visits were here, here, here and here.
This being the festive period, the menu was compacted but we still had enough choices to choose from.
For drinks, we had a pot of hot tea and requested for a bucket of ice.
First dish is the Thick Soy Sauce Prawns (S). My brother initially ordered M size but the server was adamant that S is adequate to feed three.
With benefit of hindsight, my brother felt that we should have insisted on M LOL! Knowing us, we could have handled a bigger portion.
My brother said that this was the best dish as it was really tasty and the shells were edible. The prawns were super fresh too.
We ordered Stir Fried Kailan but that dish was unavailable (we were informed subsequent to placing our order). So we settled for this Dried Shrimp Cabbage (M). It is a very humble dish but I thought it was very tasty.
Next dish was the Four Heavenly Kings (M), a popular vegetable dish of brinjal, long beans, ladies fingers and petai (stink beans).
This dish was very savory and delicious.
Last dish was the Yam Ring with Guinness Stout Ribs (S). Also a very tasty dish, though the ribs could have been a bit more tender.
Somebody ate rice hah..hah..hah... Rice with dishes is simply bliss ............
After sending mum home, my brother went on his way while I saw to it that mum was settled in before I walked back to the office.
On the way, I was naughty.
I wanted the Almond Croissant but they ran out. So I had the Butter Croissant instead.
With my last carb indulgence, I closed my eating window at 1.00 pm. It is time to go back to my usual way of eating before the negative consequences rear its ugly head.
At The Starling I walked past Baskin Robbins.
An ice cream buffet, imagine that. Any takers?
Another promotion is the (Kit Kat) Golden Choco Break.
Well, that's it! As far as I am concerned, Chinese New Year is over.
This is so true for us pet owners!
Dear friend, so true about the anxiety level when one loses a furry friend!!! (or feathery friend in my case with my zebra finch) LOL!
ReplyDeleteThe restaurant looks bright and cheerful, and the dishes look very tasty!
Oh indeed! That shows how much we love our pets! I have had such anxieties in the past when my naughty cat decided to stay out late.
DeleteSeeing that your meat dish was so little (by the way, I hardly order pork ribs at Chinese restaurants coz from experience they're usually not tender enough), I agree you can go M size with the prawns...lol! But, by other standards, *wink wink* 2 prawns each is quite sufficient coz they're big & expensive...hah..hah. P/S: I love (and so agree with) your quote again...and from experience, it's so true. There was a day when I closed the cage door but apparently it wasn't latched on correctly to go out later to find Poppy missing from the cage. I was frantic thinking she escaped onto the street but luckily she was still in the compound under my car...phew! Now I do a double take to make sure! >_<
ReplyDeleteOh dear, that was a close call! Luckily your Poppy is a good girl and chose to stay home. It pays to check, double check or even triple check LOL! About the prawns, I think we can eat 4 each wahahaha!!!
DeleteMy anxiety level is more than 100% if 🐈⬛ goes missing 😭
ReplyDeleteI can understand!
DeleteThe prawns sound so delicious and I would like the yam in the taro basket 😋
ReplyDeleteYam basket is delicious, in fact the basket itself is already good without the filling hee..hee...
DeleteForgot to say, y the ice cream buffet wants to set at night? Sugar loaded at night, cannot la.
ReplyDeleteToday I went to pinnacle condo the Baskin Robbins there doesn't have this night buffet promo 😂 I didn't see any banners or signboards
hah..hah... you are right! But BR don't care about our sugar level, they just want our money LOL!
