Gourmet Food Trail with Ah Lun (阿伦笑吃人间 周末趴趴吃) at Shin Yeh restaurant and Szechuan Court(Fairmount Singapore)

Together with omy.sg and Lianhe Wanbao, a special collaboration was held together with food critic Ah Lun(黄卓伦), I had a chance to savour some good foods from another 2 different famous restaurants in Singapore.

Read about my first experience here!


Of course, With Christmas and Chinese new year coming by, we've been hosted with some of the best foods, according to the festive seasons.

First up, Fortune Yu Sheng at Shin Yeh restaurant.

as part of our chinese tradition in Singapore, we would recite prosperous chinese quotes, like "恭喜发财“, meaning congrats on the upcoming fortunes, while we mix up the ingredients.
IMAG1329


And comes the tossing, the higher, the more "stirs", the better our fortunes!
IMAG1331


The aftermath.
IMAG1332


However messy it can be, or how unusual the ingredients are, it always tastes delicious, we had fresh sashimi and mandarins(chinese oranges) in it!
IMAG1334

Next, Taiwan-style Double-boiled Abalone, pig's stomach, chicken, scallop and sea cucumber in Casserole.
IMAG1341

The thick chicken broth(I think it was chicken broth), was just so satisfying!
IMAG1340

And a whole piece of abalone(a type of sea snail by the way)
IMAG1347

Oh yeah, I had to control my appetite and save some food for Kiyomi who came late! She's lucky I didn't touch her shares!
IMAG1361

Taiwan-style steamed marble goby with small olives.
IMAG1353

Teach you friendly readers something! If any fish is prepared well, the skin will never/should not stick onto the chopsticks!
IMAG1374


Smoked chicken with premium Taiwan Oolong tea, really strong Oolong smell, and very deeply marinated.
IMAG1368

Crispy chicken skin.
IMAG1371

Every part, including the breast, was tender, guess the chef spent lots of time massaging the dead chicken.
IMAG1370

A dish hat wasn't listed, guess it was a surprise from the chef, stir fried veggies with large crunchy prawns.
IMAG1393

Nice prawns....now into my mouth you go...
IMAG1398


Second surprise from the chef, mua chi with crushed peanuts, very common Taiwanese snack, popular with local Singaporeans, mua chi is basically minced rice.

Kiyomi's happiness = Food food food.....

those orange color fried carrots/orange peel were my favorite part.

The soup looked normal at first, a closer look and a few scoops, everything was hidden.
IMAG1446

more different varieties of seafood in the soup.
IMAG1448


Braised cod in shaffot oyster sauce with sauteed, assorted vegetable, egg white ad diced capsicums.

Once again, like I've emphasized, fish that's well done, will not have it's skin sticking with the chopsticks, yummy cod skin!
IMAG1469

Wok-fried rice served with roasted spices chicken.
IMAG1472

Very spicy toppings, Szechuan people(I mean the real place in China) have a habit of consuming really hot and spicy food.
IMAG1478


The dessert platter, cream of mango sago pomelo, Chng Tng and Chilli ice cream, that's right, chilli ice cream, you didn't read wrongly.
IMAG1481


小妹妹连辣椒都要拍。
IMAG1482

Honestly, the chilli ice cream wasn't up to my liking at all, I had small bite and left it aside, I don't like chilli in my ice cream! But nonetheless, it's worth a try if you're a chilli lover, well, I'm not.
IMAG1480

With the super spicy ice cream, I was glad I didn't had the Chng Tng and cream of mango sago shots yet.
IMAG1487

Ah, shiok.
IMAG1491


Another surprise from the chef, layered chocolate log cake.
IMAG1499

It was pretty funny, who uses chopsticks to eat cakes! WE DO!
