Even though the ambience was great (quiet and relaxing) the food was not that great anymore. <br /><br />Asam Laksa <br />- Bland. Left me and my partner very unsatisfied. <br /><br />Chicken chop <br />- Gravy on the was a little too sweet. I'm Hainanese myself, so trust me I know. You want authentic? Try Yut Kee in Dang Wangi<br /><br />Banana Peach Crumble <br />- Ahh... this was a classic. NOT baked well as it was still very uncooked/floury. The fruit in it too was mushy and felt like it had been in the freezer for just a bit too long.<br /><br /><br />May go back to just chill out, but definitely not for the food. <br />8 Dec 2010Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12201473757797462414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20053759.post-34619018460632831232010-12-08T05:13:34.466+08:002010-12-08T05:13:34.466+08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12201473757797462414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20053759.post-91232829938220424482009-04-15T15:29:00.000+08:002009-04-15T15:29:00.000+08:00Funny, we had that chat one rainy night this week ...Funny, we had that chat one rainy night this week about being called "NORM" in everyone's neighbourhood bar/restaurant, and I hadn't realised you had written that on your post!<br /><br />Spooooky ;-)Julian Sihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04032358874891125944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20053759.post-47586155918327131112009-03-29T01:49:00.000+08:002009-03-29T01:49:00.000+08:00fried kuey teow w beef n the oxtail stew is great ...fried kuey teow w beef n the oxtail stew is great ... all time favo..shellysimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04580750218927484816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20053759.post-76432022557145927532009-03-25T09:59:00.000+08:002009-03-25T09:59:00.000+08:00thanks for having us, tim.wmw, the new version is ...thanks for having us, tim.<BR/><BR/>wmw, the new version is different, but still good. still got hot piping custard...<BR/><BR/>RK, hahah, glad you enjoyed the post. yeah, all of us were yearning for carbo, all too polite to ask. <BR/><BR/>LFB, i really must get round to trying out the one at setiabakti, but now that i know tim, it makes more sense to go to decanter too i guess. i like going back to places where i know the flers.fatboybakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17872577399803066735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20053759.post-66095823963851805142009-03-25T03:14:00.000+08:002009-03-25T03:14:00.000+08:00Thanks for the comments and support ladies and gen...Thanks for the comments and support ladies and gents =)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20053759.post-8513781645980889312009-03-25T03:06:00.000+08:002009-03-25T03:06:00.000+08:00I used to love going to the original, love the pip...I used to love going to the original, love the piping hot banana peach crumble with custard.

I agree with you on prawn yee mee was abit on the clean side, I believe alot of people have had the heavier version, partly due to wok fire or the shaoxin wine being added as flavoring, this one lacked of that grimmy finish but its making up for the essential prawny sweetness. James totally loves the stew and was in reminiscent of the old flavor his mom used to make him as a kid, while you yearned for some rice, he was thinking of some hot mashed potato, I was thinking how come there werent much meat on it. lol, anyway, another great blog by fbb, always filled with subtle sacarsm with overt compliments.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20053759.post-52291031495969475352009-03-25T00:29:00.000+08:002009-03-25T00:29:00.000+08:00Looks good!
