The Malayan Council

 I visited The Malayan Council at Esplanade branch last weekend. I doubt is the newest branch in Singapore. I went there late evening around 18:30PM. Take my sweet time to reach the location. It is terrible traffic during this hour. And plus point it is on Friday evening. I guess everyone rushing back home from work or is TGIF people start to find their spot to chill on Friday evening.

I meet up with a bunch of friends. Take note, do make reservation. The place is always fully booked. Unless you do not mind to walk in and queue for your turn. Upon arriving, I do not see any queue outside. But half way eating, queue started to form outside. 

Smoked Duck Lemak Chili Padi

I ordered Smoked Duck Lemak Chili Padi. Something new that I would like to try from the menu. This restaurant is Halal. So Muslim, you are free to try this restaurant. If you can take spicy, this dish is recommended. Well, the name itself stated 'Chili Padi', of cause it is spicy. The gravy is thick, taste in between curry and Laksa. Look at the amount of smoked duck. You will never feel not enough of smoked duck in your meal. Personally I am not a duck meat eater, I feel the portion given is too much.

Overall, this main course that I ordered is something different from the usual menu. Don't worry, they have variety of main course choices. I will list down the menu for your reference below. To reach this area, either you can take the public transport till City Hall MRT station, or any bus that can bring you directly to Esplanade.

Location: 8 Raffles Ave., #02-14, Singapore 039802
Price: >10 SGD or more

Two Sons Bistro KLCC

 I have been eyeing public share and post about this restaurant Two Sons Bistro regards to their specialty on clams and mussels. It looks really good from picture and video shared by them. Just coincidence I need to buy something from Under Amour from KLCC shopping mall, decided to have dinner at this restaurant. Located inside Suria KLCC level 4, lot 415. Do take note I arrived late evening, seats are almost full. Lucky enough there are one small round table spot for me to dine in with a friend of mine. We ordered few items and inform the waitress we may eat now. Just for your information, I went during fasting month, most of the diners wait for open fast. You need to inform the waitress to serve now. Unfortunately, they got super busy and messy, my order came after an hour! We ordered two individual mains from the menu and one big pot of clams for sharing. You can choose two different side dish which is garlic bread, mini mantao bun or french fries. After for an hour waiting,...

Traditional Sarawak Kolo Mee | Singapore

Image
 There are huge renovation revamp near my neighborhood. The shops start to operate one by one but is not really fully open. I walk around last weekend to checkout available food. There is this shop with plenty of official opening flowers outside the shop. It is Traditional Sarawak Kolo Mee. Upon googling, I notice there are other branch as well in Singapore. So this shop is not something new. Not much review yet, I decided to have a try. Traditional Sarawak Kolo Mee The shop located center facing the outside road. If you walk pass, you will notice this shop. Is quite spacious and have plenty of seats. Beside this shop, they sell waffles with ice cream. Perhaps next time I will review this waffle shop. I went around 18:00PM (GMT+8) the crowd starting to queue at the counter. You need to order and make payment first before you get your meal. Not sure if they are short of staff. The service is quite slow. Only two staff working during that hour. Tips here, do take note which menu you ...
