Today, we celebrated Natalie's Chinese Birthday. We had our lunch at Tung Lok Signature at Vivocity. Food-wise, there were some winners and losers. Here are what we ordered:

1) Ee-Fu Noodles with Crayfish (supposed to be their special dish)

Verdict: Quite flavourful and the crayfish was plump and juicy (it's located at the top of the pix...one tiny little orangy piece). One of the best ee-fu noodles we had! Wished there were more!


2) Fried Pork Ribs with Sesame Mayo

Verdict: Worth it! Very delicious. The meat is quite tender and has just the right amount of fats. The meat juices simply oozes out with each bite!



3) Spinach Beancurd with Mushrooms

Verdict: One of Tung Lok's Signature dish. First had it at Club Chinos and wow...it was great! But funny how it didn't taste as delicious as before ;-(



4) Fried Coriander Ball with Cheese

Verdict: I guess this is what i call a chinese fusion dish bah. Taste quite nice, crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside (becoz of the cheese lar)



5) Peking Duck

Verdict: OoOoOo...i love this. Even my mum enjoyed the dish! Wish there were more on the tabl but expensive lar...hehe

6) Siew Mai

Verdict: Yummy!

7) Har Kou

Verdict: Disappointing. Prawns were crunchy but the skin was too thick liao. I've eaten betta ones...So dun bother to spend money to eat this dish

8) Xiao Long Pao

Verdict: Crystal Jade's version is still the best!

9) Famous Pork Belly Cubes (i.e. Siew Yok)

Verdict: A lot of us loved this expensive version of siew yok....hehhe...it's crunchy with even spread of meat and some fats.... the flavour of the pork just burst in your mouth when u pop it in! Doesn't taste too salty and it goes really well with the sauce (we suspect it's wasabi mustard)... A twist to the traditional serving

Dessert
1) Chilled mango with pomelo and sago

Verdict: Didn't particularly like this dish. Doesn't look as appertising as the menu's pix and has a bitter aftertaste (i guess it's becoz of the pomelo...can't they buy any sweeter pomelo?) Not worth the price of $5



2) Chilled Mango Pudding

Verdict: Mummy personally liked this dessert. The dessert has chunks of mango bits and the pudding has a milky taste. But hor Uncle Paul finds that it's ordinary


3) Coconut Ice-Cream with Purple Rice Puree (sounds so exotic but it's pulau hitum lar)

Verdict: The favourite dessert of all! Everyone loves this dessert. The coconut ice-cream wasn't too overpowering and gives a nice flavour to the pulau hitum.




So will we go Tung Lok again? Grandpa is not really that keen lei....he's saying that it's not value for money. For dim sum, we rather go Zi Yean or Crystal Jade...kekeke
