Departure

This was way back in august, concluding Sara's last few dinner's in Sunny Singapore. This is one of our common haunts and i suppose her last weekend dinner in Singapore left her pleasantly satisfied.


First off, came the crispy duck with popiah skin.The duck was fried to perfection, crispy on the outside yet, however the meat was more on the dry side. Making the duck popiah roll was fun, but consuming it was even better. Every bite was welcoming, the combination of the dark sauce ,the crunch of the freshly cut spring onions,cucumber and duck skin was sheer delight. All the different items complimented each other very well.Verdict: 3.75/5

Second came the red wine pork rib, one of their specialities. The pork was glistening under the light and looked delectable, although the photo issn't tha clear.The meat was tender yet firm with a bit of fat at the side, glazed with a layer of their red wine sauce, it was on the sweeter side. Beside it was a row of neatly cut apples, layered with mayonaise. It all seemed a bit too sweet for my liking though.Overall, it was not bad as it was quite tasty and the meat was tender.Verdict:3.75/5

Third, came the mee goreng, one of their specialities too. Their mee goreng is always really good, with quite a few strips of squid, fishcake and a few of prawns. The mee goreng was not too dry and not too wet, much to my liking. It was also not too spicy, but still had a bit of a kick and yes the more chinese version of the malay dish.Verdict:4/5

Lastly, came the chilli crab.However, i was unable to control myself and totally forgot to take a picture of it.The chilli crab at Choonseng issin't very spicy, more on the tomato-ish side, thus lacking a kick, it wasn't one of the best times i've eaten chilli crab there before though. This time was a little disappointing The crabs were quite meaty though.The deepfried man-tou buns which came alongside with it was delish, the glistening crispy skin, lathering hunks of the sauce onto it was really good. verdict: 3/5
