Seafood Paradise @ Defu Lane 10

I'm back! Came back last nite and was so tired and the humidity here really hits you.

It's straight to having a delicious lunch on the first day back at work. It was a birthday celebration for 3 other colleagues whose birthday all fall on this month! Three of them are also in the same team maintaining our state of the art Unix servers.

Today's lunch is at Seafood Paradise that is situated in an industrial area at Defu Lane 10. It seems they have opened a branch at the Singapore Flyer too.



The first dish that came was the Seafood Supreme Fried Rice. Nicely done. The rice's coated with a golden hue, light and fluffy with pieces of crab meat and it has ebiko on top of it too.



We also had the broccoli that was topped with egg whites and scallops. The scallops hidden below it. We find this a bit bland.



The Homemade tofu. It's a big piece of tofu that's covered with meat floss. Below the meat floss you can find 'small bite size' sea cucumber, prawns and also vegetable. Not too bad.



The reason we came here is to have crabs!
This is the Crab in Superior Stock with vermicelli. Very starchy but nice. The 'tang hoon' taste quite good in the stock, which we think taste very chicken.



Posterior view. hehe..



The second crab we had it cooked with Butter.
Personally, I like the butter version. It's sweetish, but colleague said more butter would be better. We wanted mantou to go with this, but their supply of it has not arrived! arrghh..

But a little experiment, we added some butter sauce to the vermicelli, it tasted even better! LOL



Think this picture is a bit blurry. After eating crabs, your fingers get wobbly?
The Honey Pepper Ribs. Lovely.



How much? Read for yourself ya... If you use a HSBC card, you get 10% off ;-)

Din Tai Fung @ Tampines Mall

Yesterday I posted a photo of the huat kueh, that was part of the food we ate last Friday at Din Tai Fung at Tampines Mall.

The 'xiao cai', this is the combi of seaweed, tau kuah, tang hoon, tau geh etc mix. We always love this dish. We actually have this when we come here.

When we asked for another and it came looking smaller, we jokingly said that to the lady. She was quick to rebutt us! It's all weighted and it's the same. Hmm ok. She was not in a particulary good mood. LOL.



Another appetizer dish is the salted vegetable dish. It's a bit salty but goes well with other things that we had.



We also had the 'suan la tang'. I like it the way it is, but sis and aunt would prefer it to be more 'suan', add more vinegar if you like it sourish.



This is red vinegar dumpling. Try it if you come here, this is yummy!



For our carbo stuff, we had the prawn fried rice.



And also the pork chop fried rice.



While in the pork chop mood, sis and momo shared this pork chop noodle soup.



Since we had more people, we could order 20 xiao long bao! (yes, madness. haha...) But we were really hungry!



If you like prawn dumpling, this one is actually quite quite good! The soup's not salty, so eating this with the kiam chai dish above goes well.



When we ordered, the waitress asked if we had Citibank card, we did and this yam dumpling came free. Imainge 'or nee' in dumplings. ;-)



It was a good lunch after being awake since early early morning and we did not have any breakfast.
