Chong Tian Seafood Restaurant @ Taman Bukit Mewah (Part III - CNY)

Had dinner on the 3rd day of CNY with family and relatives. Since it's CNY, we did 'lo hei'. The salmon slices were rather limited edition and so tiny. Would've preferred if they used grass carp instead.

may everyone be blessed with good fortune and best of health!

Next, was the platter dish...similar to that starter dish in most Chinese wedding banquet. As expected, very pricey at RM120 per plate. Liked the minced meat with beancurd wrap the most.

shrimp roll, minced meat with beancurd skin, fried omelette with 'fins', top shell and baby squids

steamed tilapia with spicy sauce

The fish here was always of a good size. Fresh and good. Tender flesh and yummy sauce. Quite shioks.

stir fried greens (qing long cai)

First time having the Qing Long vegetables. Looks like spring onions. Not too sure of what to make of it. Just eat. Hahaa!

table full of food

Hope everyone enjoys the Lunar New Year period, and have many many good food with family and friends! May this year brings you pleasant surprises, happiness and abundance of good stuffs! 新年快乐， 身体健康，万事如意！

Seoul Yummy @ Novena Square 2

Located at Level 3 of Novena Square 2. Popular lunch spot for people who works in the vicinity.

The place was definitely very very noisy during lunch hour. Usually, we'll just pick an item from the lunch sets that's priced around $10.

saba fish set

chicken kimchi soup set

The banchans (side-dishes) consist of kimchi, anchovies and bean sprouts. Liked the anchovies. Yums. For the saba fish, it's not the best version that I've tasted so far but overall, it was still enjoyable with the rest of the items.

Expect to spend about $12 per pax for lunch.

Burger VS Wings + Bar BWB @ Orchard Central

Located at Level 11 of Orchard Central. Accessible via the lifts. This  American styled restaurant has only been in operations recently, though its premise is not new. BWB occupies what used to be an Italian restaurant's space.

Familiar, yet different.

have you BWB, yet?

ample seating capacity

private room

Its concept is pretty simple. Burgers (vs) Wings. Food Fight. Now, nope. Don't start throwing the food around, ya. Food fight here, really refers to which item gets the most orders. Will it be the Burgers or will it be the Wings?

ready to fight?

Looking at its current menu, they have at least 9 burger variants and 10 for the wings. Really spoilt for choice. As though that's not enough, with every main course order one can do an add-on ($4.90++ for lunch or $7.90++ for dinner) to enjoy BWB's tapas and dessert buffet. Quite the value for money!

What could one get from the tapas buffet section?

baked macaroni, grilled vegetables and sheppard pie

mediterranean beef salad

For me, I got my fix of greens (or pink).  Coleslaw, potato salad, lettuce, beef salad, tempura water spinach and pappadum with tomato salsa

plate with assortment of stuff from tapas counter

Happy hour is till 8pm, and they do have Stella on tap. Get a pint of this during happy hour for $11++.

say hi to Stella

Did someone say signature cocktails? Of course, we got ourselves one. Cocktails are priced at $14++ each. BWBartini was quite yummy. Sweet.

Feeling famished yet? Let's meet the heavyweights.

Tyson Peanut Butter Burger (@$21.90++)

Pacific Izumi Fish Burger (@$15.80++)

BWB Classic Heavyweight Burger (@$19.90++)

The burgers looked quite gorgeous. Its beef burger patties are using stockyard angus beef. Enjoyable texture, doesn't feel oily and well seasoned. The beef burgers came with crispy, salty streaky bacon, cheddar cheese, egg sunny-side up and brioche bun.

Wagyu Beef Black Burger (@$28++), pre-cut upon request (for sharing)

The Black Burger was huge. Loaded with ingredients. Most noticeable was the avocado. If all those burgers felt too macho for you, no worries. They do have a dainty looking BWB Mini Burger Sampler (@$20.50++).

cute, right?

Though the burger does not include fries, it is still worthwhile to get one to share. Was pretty amazed to find that the fries retained its crispiness, though it was left out in the open for quite a long while.

cheese fries

If burger is not up your alley, then perhaps, chicken wings might do the trick? Meet the lightweight contenders.

Cajun BBQ Wings (@$15.80++)

spicy level: medium

Let you be warned. Spicyness of medium, is already quite spicy. The heat will sting at you right away. Good thing that it also dissipates quite fast.

Likewise, there's also the Sampler Trio Wings for the undecided. The chicken wing wrap actually looked more like a popiah. Inside of it was minced chicken and prawn. Didn't like the stuffed wings though. There was a very strong, herb taste that I didn't enjoy.

To add to the fun element of this restaurant, there might be special offers from time to time. So, keep a lookout for it!

watch out for such offers when dining-in

There are mini cakes and ice-cream at the buffet desserts counter.

mini cheesecake, tiny swiss roll and fruit pate

Swiss roll was too dry but the mini cheesecakes were quite rich. Fruit pate was coated with sugar, hence very sweet but quite interesting. Skip the swiss roll and go straight to ice-cream!

Thank you HGW and KitchenLanguage for the invite and for hosting the dinner.

Osaka Ohsho @ Westgate

Located at Level 3 of Westgate. Finally, so many makan places near where I stay. Tried Osaka Ohsho on a Saturday evening. Was there early, before 6pm so there wasn't any queue.

here to try this famous restaurant chain

The seats are very near each other. So, couples usually come and go pretty fast. Also quite popular with families with young kids.

just an elbow length space to manouvre

Every table has an iPad attached to it. Order the food through that device.

Tried the Black Vinegar Fried Chicken set from the Healthy Japanese Specialties menu.

Black Vinegar Fried Chicken Set (@$15.90++)

fried chicken, lotus root, capsicum and plenty of aubergine

The set came with rice, gyoza and egg drop soup. Overall, the set was enjoyable though the fried chicken dish was quite oily. Ironically, it's from the Healthy menu. Hmm.

minced pork and cabbage

The gyoza was smaller than expected. It's already adequately seasoned. If you like spicy, the chili oil was quite a good complement to the dumpling.

chili flakes and chili oil as taste enhancer

Friend had the ever popular Tenshin Han set. His took forever to arrive. It came after I'd finish almost 80% of mine.

Tenshin Han set (@$12.90++)

But it really looked very good.

perfect

very thick layer of eggs

Had a sample of the egg. Very good, I must say. Tasty, thick layer of fluffy soft eggs. I'd order this, the next time round.

This meal cost about $32+ for two pax, inclusive of 2 hot tea.
