Yummy Recipes, Cresent @ Kallang

 

Quite a bit of food that we ordered at Yummy Recipes (7 Kallang Pudding Road, #01-08, tel : +65 6636-0603). Also an unexpectedly fancy decor for a restaurant located in an industrial region. 

In the interest of making this short(er) and sweet, here were some of the mention worthy.

• Roasted pork belly was good with crispy crackling and tender meat. It wasn't very fatty.
• Both the fried rice had a nice beady texture but the olive plate didn't have enough of flavour from olives and the pork belly one smelt a lot nicer than there were flavours.
• Sucking pig was pretty good, but nothing comparable to those in Hong Kong.
• Pig stomach soup was pretty good with a strong peppery flavour. But I heard it was thickened by cornstarch.
• Assam curry fish head was awesome. It was a rich creamy curry, robustly flavoured with the sour from probably both assam and pineapples that were cooked in them. That viscous curry was vibrant from the fruits, not flat. Only gripe was for $25, there was only half a fish head. Expensive. This was included in the menu as a local dish option, not a specialty from their Shanghainese chef obviously.
• Crispy noodles with seafood was very tasty as well. Generous portions of egg and seafood.
