Saturaday Dinner @ HongKong Cafe Express @ Eastcoast Park


Pan Fried Dumpling - I tot this was one of the better Dumpling i ever eaten. Usually its the Xiao Long Bao that got the soup inside the dumpling, but this one has it too! The proportion of Skin and Filling was just nice....justttt nice.

Their Famous X.O Carrot Cake - Damn freaking oily la i must say... but good thing is it came in a small plate, so need not chomp down too much lipids! Unlike normal carrot cake, it is fried until each piece is cripsy outside, and soft and mashy inside, then i think its sprinkled with some seasoning, giving each bite a burst of spiciness.

Seafood E-Fu Noodle - Arh....too bad this came in a portion a little too small la... Don't judge this dish based on its name! Unlike normal hawker selling Horfun, this E-Fu churned up by this cafe is great! A must try!


Waited 30+min for this Mango King to arrive! Think they forgot all about it! Only when i say i wan to pay my bills already then they serve us this! Was so hungry and thirsty by then, tt i forgot to snapped a picture of its glory, with the mango ice cream floating on top, dressed with a little whipped cream. Inside is also suspended with some Mango-taste jellies. Very refreshing after a oily meal.

Astons Revisit!

Revisit to Astons! This time round with 7 people and we "hollanded ( got lost)", but managed to reach there at 6pm, but lucky no queue on a Friday evening. It was worth it, at least to me... not sure about the 6 others... :)
Ribeye Xtra cut with Onion rings and Potato Salad

Prime Sirloin with Pasta Salad and Whipped Potato

Ate this... verdict is just pay the extra $2 to get a ribeye instead, its so much better than sirloin...

Finally placed my order at 7.55pm!

Before Entry

Prime Ribeye with Pasta Salad and Whipped Potato

Comes along with 2 sides which you can choose. The Ribeye is done medium, so kinda bloody, but that makes the beef so rich in taste and flavour. Each slice is so juicy and tender. I bet the Wagyu will be even much much far better!

Grilled Fish with Herbs

Since i had such a filling dim sum lunch today, i still feel quite full even when its time for dinner, so decided to settle for white meat instead, so that i can have a mix of some red and white. The grilled fish portion is generous enough, and the best thing about it is that the interior is soft, while the top layer is slightly charred and crisp, certainly not an easy skill to cook to such standard. The herbs has indeed infused into the center of the white meat, unlike some other grilled fish who claims to have herbs, but the herbs can only be seen, but not tasted.
