Mushroom Fettucine [$18++] All my fav ingredients in one dish - mixed mushrooms, truffle cream sauce, spaghetti and parmesan cheese! Not to forget the runny egg on top. The sauce was a little too much and heavy, hence making it jelak towards the end. But the mushrooms were cooked well, and the pasta was of the perfect al dente texture.

Truffle Mushroom Capellini ($20); Hand Cut Fries ($6) I really liked the onsen egg in the pasta dish, but the overall dish was slightly too creamy for my taste. Pretty average food in my opinion!

Linguine Scampi in Olive Oil Base ($22) A comfort food dish served in a relaxed, quiet environment. With al dente linguine tossed heavily in olive oil, I pretty much enjoyed how fragrant this aglio olió style pasta was, except that they could probably reduce the amount of olive oil so that the pasta wouldn’t have been coated in oil. Nevertheless, the chopped garlic and chili made up for it along with super plump fresh prawns. Slightly pricey but worthwhile with the entertainer app. Do note that there’s a specific menu if you are using the app.

squid ink seafood paella ($34.00) and pork quesadilla ($18.00) squid ink seafood paella ($34.00): tbh this was q underwhelming bc the squid ink flavour was not v prominent. there were q a lot of ingredients but some of the mussels were kinda fishy so not the best. the portion is small so probs need to order sth else if you’re sharing between 2 ppl bc the layer of rice is v flat pork quesadilla ($18.00): rly enjoyed this! an ok option for spanish food in sg but nothing to scream about and i’ve had better elsewhere so i probs wouldn’t be returning any time soon

Potato Ah I know the potoato is a simple humble food but gosh it's surprised me by tasty like a yummy comfort Mac and cheese kind of food. If you love your carbs and potatoes, I highly recommend it.

Grilled Cod It's a decent dish. The prawn pretty large and the cod is grilled. I know it's their star dish but I didn't get swept off my feet. It tastes exactly like how cod would taste when grilled. No surprises. The sauce is pretty nice though. Can order if you are really in need of satisfying a cod fish craving. Otherwise I recommend trying the other dishes.

For Wallet-Friendly Whole Roast Duck Depending on where you head to, an order of roast duck can stretch you pretty thin, budget wise. In comes this roast duck specialist, which has outlets in both Textile Centre and People's Park Complex. Described to be a fusion between Peking duck and Hong Kong roast duck, the Roast Duck is priced at $15 and, judging from reviews, is both affordable and tasty. The ducks are sourced from Malaysia, and roasted for about an hour to cook through and develop their signature crisp, all while maintaining the tender, well-marinated meat. Even though it has just opened this year, The Duck Master has already amassed legions of fans — its People's Park location was once reported to have a three-hour waiting time. Thankfully for us, they have set up an online system, which makes the whole purchase process a lot more seamless. Place an order for the duck online and select your preferred time and location for pick up. Just be reminded that online orders may not be permitted for same day collection.

Roasted Duck Spotted this outlet at textile center and decided to give it a try - loved the crisp skin & the well marinated meat, was a tad too dry though.

Al ragu pappardelle ($25.80) - Al dente pasta, sauce was quite tasty but the depth of meaty flavour was absent. - Some parts of the beef chunks were a little tough and contained small amounts of tendon 🥩 [5/10]

Carbonara roma linguine ($26.80) - Having “pasta” in the restaurant name, it’s a shame the pasta was undercooked and hard. - Presentation was rather plain with only pasta and pancetta. - Sauce lacked in flavour and seasoning, even Pastamania can do better 🥲 [2/10]

Calamari fritto spaghetti ($26.80) - Interesting combi, calamari was crispy and chewy! - Tanginess of lemon butter sauce was barely present, could have stronger savouriness. [6/10]

White Orb White Orb ($15) . Impressed by this creation @SanBistrosg . Warm white chocolate sauce is poured over the white chocolate sphere containing matcha ice-cream, raspberry jelly and feuilletine. The bitterness from the matcha ice cream balances the sweetness characteristic of white chocolate and the tangy sour taste from the raspberry jelly. My preferred choice of dessert of the 4 available.

Linguine Lobster Linguine Lobster ($35) . When I was served the linguine lobster @SanBistrosg , I must confess my disappointment. There were probably 4-5 pieces of lobster flesh and a teenie dollop of caviar hidden among the moderate size of pasta. The consolation was that the flavour was present with the lobster bisque thickly coating the pasta and the lobster flesh tasting fresh. Maybe if the lobster flesh was served with its shell, it would have looked a little more presentable and worth the money paid.

Foie Gras Terrine Foie Gras Terrine ($20) . Revamped menu @SanBistrosg serves up this wellplated Foie Gras Terrine that’s accompanied by golden beets, caramelized hazelnut, brioche and beetroot paper! The foie gras terrine with the brioche paired well but I am not a fan of the beetroot and beetroot puree as the earthy bitter taste was very evident and overshadowed the rest of the elements even when I combined all the elements into one spoonful.

2 For $30 Crab?? This place is famous for offering good deal for crabs, and they also have a great selection of cooking styles (chili, cereal, salted egg, kam xiang, etc..) Preferred the salted egg over their chili sauce. Do order the fried man tou to soak up the sauce which was thick with flavors However, dont expect too much for the meat itself. But, at this price point, you can't expect a restaurant quality meaty crab. No issues with me since I always enjoy scooping up the gravy with fried man tou over the crab heh

Chili Crab Goodness! 27-Jan-18 ♡ The freshness of the crab ☆ 1 for $35 (large) Side note: The kangkong was very nice too!

Eat The Salted Egg Shell Too! Never thought that you could eat the shell of a hard shell crab? Neither do I, but you can do that here 🤤 The salted egg crab is fried beforehand and then cooked with the sauce, that is my new obsession with crab. The classic chilli crab is a good one too! With the thick egg chilli sauce. And what's eating chilli crab without fried man tou? The man tou is so crispy on the outside and soft on the inside Rate: 4/5 Avg: $20 (except only 2pax)

Dim Sum Juicy and tender steamed pork ribs in black bean sauce were pretty good and taste above average. The prawns in har gow were good but the skin was on the thicker side which could be better if it is half the thickness. Steamed rice roll with shrimp came with a good amount of tasty soya sauce but the rice rolls were thicker than the usual. The custard bun was good with smooth and runny custard flowing in the bun. The dim sum is reasonably priced but don’t expect outstanding HK-style dim sum or even decent service. I was assigned to a table with dishes not cleared and prompted to proceed to make my order first. The staff at the counter kept taking orders while no one bothers to clean the table despite numerous requests and it was left like this till our order arrives 20mins later. The beverage was also not served beforehand and I had to ask again when the food is served. I had to cancel some orders where they did not arrive when I’m done with the food and beverage served. This seems like a severe lack of manpower and I hope they get this fixed soon ☹️ Pork Ribs 》$4.20 Har Gow 》$4.50 Steamed Rice Roll with Shrimp 》$4.2 Custard Bun 》$4.20

Dim Sum Ordered this via delivery app. When the food came, still hot! I ordered the followings: chicken porridge, chicken prawn paste chicken skin, fried carrot cake, steam pork belly buns, rice roll with fried fritters and chicken pot stickers. Overall the food is good. I like their porridge Abd rice roll which very nostalgic taste! Will order again from them.

Char Siew Rice Rolls From MongKok Dimsum Steamed rice rolls wrapped sliced char siew (BBQ pork) . Signature soy sauce adds the umami taste. Yummy!

Hae Bee Hiam Pasta 11.9+(gst Only) BILLS UNDER 30 TO BE PAID IN CASH ONLY good on paper, but delivery was lacking abit. Umami was there, but the lard wasnt top grade and so it wasnt crispy and there's a slight bitter taste. It tingles despite me asking for less spicy, so the real deal is probably gonna be saliva inducing. Prawns were big and meaty, if slightly mushy. Also the whole dish was slightly dry, luckily there's iced water provided tho

Hae Bee Hiam Spaghetti $11.9 This is a lot spicier than it looks, but so tasty. 2 very large prawns top a tangle of spaghetti thoroughly mixed through with umami-rich hae bee hiam and crunchy lardons. It’ll tingle your taste buds for sure. Taste: 3.5/5

Otah Tamago $6.9 Neighbourhood izakaya joint Iza puts their own local twist to many of the items on the menu, including their popular Otah Tamago which can be seen on many a table in the restaurant. Plush square parcels of egg ensconce soft squares of meaty, homemade otah with just a hint of mild spiciness, the perfect snack to go along with a frosty mug of beer or highball. Taste: 3.5/5

Supper time of our lives One of my favourite late night supper place to go do. Everytime come here must have their herbal pork mee sua. The pork meats were all tender, and soup was very flavourful. A must have when u visit Seng Kee. Another must have dish here, is their chaota bee hoon, blanchan with lime goes so well with the bee hoon. All the seafood are hidden under the blanket of chaota bee hoon. The prawn paste Chicken also not bad, crispy skin was shiok. Seng kee is a great option for any late night supper.

Black ginseng chicken soup Been awhile since my last visit but this traditional black chicken soup is still as hearty and nourishing as ever

Hearty Hawker Favourites Chaota Beehoon ($10.80) - full of flavour and delightfully crispy at the edges, this was a great with the accompanying chilli. Though my dad preferred JB Ah Meng's version. White Mee Sue ($6.80) - chock full of fish slices, minced pork, and even small shrimps, we couldn't stop slurping up this bowl of goodness. Highly recommended! Qing Long Chye ($13.80) - it was alright, slightly more expensive than our usual order of Kang Kong or sweet potato leaves. Prawn Cracker ($13.80) - crispy and filled with minced prawn, dip it in the accompanying mayo for a good bite to whet your appetite. Can get slightly heavy towards the end though, so best to share this with 4 pax.

Slice Fish Soup Peppery soup with yummy and fresh fish slices. Rice is quite dry and a bit hard. The portion is quite small to be filling. Gonna try the fried and slice fish dishes next time.

Fish Head Steamboat 🐟($30) With the current weather and the CNY holiday mood, steamboats seem to be on everyone's minds! What was supposed to be a quick lunch turned to this 😂 The soup broth from Guan Lee Sen Seafood started out milky and rich but after the refill, they diluted it with a lighter stock which sunk our boat a little bit. 😩We also felt we would have gotten more fish if we just ordered separate bowls of fish soup, so the steamboat might not be that worth it. The chilli however was 👌

Thai Styled Fried Oysters Guan Lee Sen really serves solid zichar with serious wok hei. Almost every dish is a hit here. Besides this, get the deer meat, pumpkin prawns and claypot spinach. Come early as it's usually crowded during lunch. Good for groups. About $12-15 per head. Totally satisfied my comfort food craving.
