[Tasting] CNY Feast at Goldleaf Restaurant 金葉餐廳 @ 83/85 Geylang Rd

Goldleaf Restaurant is now located at 83/85 Geylang Road. Grab driver was asking me which lorong would that be. So closest would be Lorong 3. Go past Sinma G7 Frog Porridge shop (uncle said Geylang has 3 of this frog porridge places...), then go past the traffic light and the restaurant is about 100m after the traffic light. Thereabouts. Can park at nearby HDB block behind the restaurant.

The yusheng is basically a salad of sorts, and it is sweet and refreshing. A good start to the year.

Soup

Sea Cucumber, Fish Maw with Ginseng and Cordyceps in Superior Broth

炖洋参虫草花羹

Loved the umami-sweetness of the superior broth, and one could taste the hint of ginseng in the soup. It is a thick soup (羹) with smooth texture. Satisfying and comforting. Didn't need any vinegar or pepper for this.

Fish

Steamed Red Snapper with Chye Poh and Garlic

Goldleaf has always done their steamed fish right, and this plate was no exception. Fish was fresh with firm flesh, and the sauce concoction tasted savoury sweet of good soy sauce, and loved fried crunchy bits of the chye poh garlic. Alvin said, he would love to eat this with rice.

Prawns

Wok-Fried Tiger Prawns with Black Pepper Sauce

Finger-licking dish, and for lovers of stronger flavours. The black pepper sauce was delicious and the prawns were of a good size. This is one dish that you don't mind getting your fingers dirty!

Poultry

Housemade Chicken with Specialty Dip 

The roast chicken brought back a bit of nostalgia as Chinese restaurants in the olden days, will definitely have one on the menu (and usually served with prawn crackers!). Chicken was well roasted and mildly seasoned and served with Goldleaf Specialty Dip. Wet or dry, choose your favourite but both were equally addictive! I prefer the dry one as it could be sprinkled to noodles as well! The sauce dip had a bit of peppercorn / mala taste in it, and I had it with the chicken breast parts.

Vegetables

Abalone Slices, Mushrooms and Sea Moss with Seasonal Vegetables

Plenty of vegetables for the table. Sauce was lovely and the vegetables plate could be pretty filling as well. The broccoli was lightly blanched and retained its crunchy-ness.

Noodles

Stewed Golden Taiwanese Noodles 金黄台湾面

closer view of the golden noodles

Noodles were well stewed and with an amiable texture. Not quite al-dente but just nice. Tasty on its own, or sprinkle some of those dry spice from the Housemade Chicken dish specialty dips.

Dessert

Orh Nee 芋泥

The set menu consists of dishes that the young and old could enjoy, and its dishes could also be paired up with a bottle of your favourite wine/sake. Corkage fee is $35 for BYO.

The steamed seabass is another classic and well-loved dish. Enjoyed by all and thank you Alvin for helping to portion it.

One of my favourite dish from this set, is the Housemade Roast Chicken. The meat was tender and its rustic flavours on-point.

The Signature Golden Porridge is true to its name, revealing a large pot of shimmering golden deliciousness that is generously packed with seafood. There's clams, mussels, abalone, scallops, squid and prawns. Wow.

Comforting and full of umami, the porridge was a winner and understandaby a crowd favourite. Just be careful with the shells.

may we blessed with all things good~

Loved the yusheng with lychee pearls and it's pretty sweet even without putting in all the plum sauce.

Next dish, is Superior Chicken Broth with Fish Maw. Didn't manage to get any fish maw but the mushrooms were meaty and smooth. The soup has a bit of thickness to it and lip smacking good. Grab the chicken skin before they're gone!

Braised sea cucumber and tofu was an interesting dish with well braised tofu and al-dente sea cucumber.

The steamed red snapper was impressive with its size. Adequate to go round. Firm flesh and meaty.

Sauteed Prawns in Black Pepper Sauce 黑椒虾

The prawns in black pepper sauced was finger licking goodness. Messy, yes but so satisfying. Never thought I'd say this but the assorted mushrooms vegetable dish was so tasty!

Taiwanese Noodles with Scallops in XO Sauce XO酱带子面

The noodles dish was special as knife shaved noodles 刀削面  was used. Suggest eat the noodles as soon as it lands on the table.

Last, diners could top-up $2 per head to change-up the Sea Coconut and Longan dessert to orh nee. Yes, why not? Orh nee was thick and sweetness just right. Perfect end.
