Lontong from Siti Nur Liyana Nasi Lemak

This lontong from Siti Nur Liyana Nasi Lemak was pretty good. I'm of the opinion that it was just slightly less rich compared to Queenstown Lontong or Lontong Sedap. Perhaps the gravy was just a little bit less lemak and a serunding which wasn't as heavily spiced but I'd categorize them within the same band of coconut-y deliciousness.

Kung bao chicken (宫保鸡丁) from Tian Fu Ren Jia (天府人家)

The food seems to be a little different from Tian Fu Ren Jia. While admittedly it's been a while since we've had them, we were pretty sure that some of the dishes we've had at least a few times before tasted different. Small but discernible differences which one could tell with familiarity but couldn't put a finger to. This was especially so for their mala xiang guo.

Anyways, I kinda enjoyed their kung bao chicken. Nice sweet sauce with toasted peanuts. There's diced cucumbers as well which I've never seen in the local renditions of the dish. Gotta remember to get them to omit the onions the next time. Fillers I don't need.

Strawberry shaved ice at Isetan

Not cheap at $12 a pop but those thin shavings of frozen strawberries were invigoratingly refreshing even in that luxuriously rich cream and condense milk. Loved how it melted and trickled down the throat. 👍🏼

Mao shan wang obanyaki from Mr Obanyaki

It's been a while since I've gotten the pancakes from Mr Obanyaki. Came across one with mao shan wang recently. Decent durian custard with adequate flavour but definitely doesn't compare to mao shan wang puree that are mostly pulp. It was also one of the more, if not the most expensive pancake they have at the stall. 

Delivery from Zazz Pizza

Our first time getting home delivery for Zazz Pizza (一, 二, 三, 四, 五, 六, 七, 八). We learnt a lot about how much quality suffers with delivery.

Their braised pork pasta survived pretty well. While it definitely wasn't as piping hot and didn't taste as freshly off the pan, I couldn't complain.

This was their mixed mushroom with added on anchovy and clams. Seemed like significantly lesser mushrooms than a previous experience. It was a bad move with those clams too because of the broken layers off the shells which left crunchy bits strewn around the pie. The clams were nice but the bits of shell weren't a good experience. My bad for assuming that those clams would come without shells.

Finally tried their Bismark and it didn't feel as impressive as the pictures we've seen. I believe this slightly disappointing experience was due to the chewier and harder crust that was a result of delivery. We've never had them like this in all the times we've eaten at the shop.

Fish Joy, Toa Payoh

Was recommended the fish soup from Fish Joy (168 Lorong 1 Toa Payoh) and it turned out to be pretty good. Here's the bowl with 3 types of fishes; namely red grouper, batang and pomfret. On hindsight, I should have just gotten one type. Anyways, I liked it. Savoury, milky and adequately salted with a reasonably robust flavour. I wished they were more generous with those fried egg floss. Portions of the fish aren't what one would consider generous but looking beyond that, it was an enjoyable bowl.
