Old Hong Kong Kitchen


A few weeks ago, I was indulging in dim sum on a weekend afternoon. This dim sum place was called old hong kong kitchen located at novena square 2. I can say it is one of the few popular dim sum places in Singapore and it has a few outlets. Basically, for dim sum, I will definitely go for their egg tarts and chee cheong fun either with prawn or scallop or char siew. Their egg tart is decent and I love their chee cheong fun.  Smooth and fresh prawn, just a bit salty. The XO fried carrot cake is also very nice. Recommend to order and try. The rest of the items such as the pork rib and siew mai is quite decent too. The restaurant do offer ala carte dishes and shall try it next time.

Max Brenner Chocolate Bar

Desserts after dinner is always very sinful yet cannot resist the temptations especially chocolate. Max brenner chocolate bar is famous for their chocolate desserts and drinks. After looking through the menu, we decided to ordered the waffles with caramelised banana and pecan nuts, their signature chocolate lava cake and cranberry juice. I observed that there were always a lot of people in the vivocity outlet. The desserts were served quite promptly. The waffles were good as well as the caramelised banana. The combination with pecan nuts and corn flakes were excellent. Secondly, it was their signature chocolate lava cake. The chocolate was very rich, towards the end finding hard to finish it. Thumb up for their desserts!






Serenity Spanish Restaurant @ Vivo city

Another Spanish restaurant on the post. This time, it was located at vivocity ground level. We went on a friday night and there were live band performing. The restaurant is pretty big and there were indoor and outdoor dining. It was a nice place to chill out after work, listening to Spanish music while enjoying Spanish food. I ordered the signature Spanish drink, Sangria while BB June ordered Spanish coffee (contain alcohol). We ordered 2 tapas, Pulpo a la Gallega ( Grilled Imported Spanish Octopus with potatoes) and Bunuelos de Gambas (Deep fried Spanish style prawn cakes) to start off the dinner. The tapas taste excellent especially the grilled octopus. The mains were pork knuckle and the signature paella (seafood). The food was good and we had a enjoyable chat with one of our polymates, xueting. The only negative about this dinner was we were sitting under a fan so the food turn cold at a rather fast speed, other than this everything was great which include the service and ambience. I will recommend people to give it a try for the spanish food in this restaurant. I want to try their tapas! ( A lot of varieties)
