Peach Restaurant in Chinatown Point - Chinese New Year Lunch

Just before the chinese new year, we had lunch at Peach Restaurant in Chinatown Point after much shopping. As it is the festive period, they dont have much dim sum on the menu list, very limited. 

Carrot cake with bean sprout with XO sauce

Assorted dim sum of BBQ pork bao, har gow, siew mai and fried dumplings.

Combination of three roast, roast suckling pig (quarter), roast duck (quater) and roast pork.

Sea food (scallops) with hor fun

This is a treat from my brother. 

Pearl's Hill Garden Restaurant at Labrador Villa Road (relocated from Chin Swee Road)

 So glad to finally found Pearl's Hill Garden Restaurant at their new location. They had relocated from their old premises at Chin Swee Road to the new location at 1 Labrador Villa Road (just next to Labrador MRT Station).

I first visited the restaurant back in July 2024 and had actually went to their old location again but found that their restaurant was no longer in Chin Swee Road and I had no idea where they relocated and only found out their new location recently. Read my old post.       

The restaurant in new location at Labrador Villa Road was smaller but had spacious free parking lots just next to the restaurant.

Free parking

We ordered their ice vegetables with fish skin.

Charcoal tofu with minced pork and dried shrimps

Myo Restobar at Oxley Tower - Lunch (Not sponsored)

My siblings and I had our usual makan session and this round, we decided to have lunch at Myo Restobar. 

Myo Restobar is a spin off from Kia Hiang Group. Read more details from source.  

I remembered patronizing the Kia Hiang restaurant at International Plaza with my late mom many decades ago and suddenly we forgotten all about the restaurant till recently, one of my sibling found this restaurant again.

Their signature dish since few decades ago is the Claypot Chicken which my mom loved it and she actually cooked a similar dish at home. Instead of claypot, she steamed it and wrapped the whole chicken with wongbok (sorry I cant remembered her recipe hahaha).

The signature dish - Claypot Spring Chicken wrapped with napa cabbage.

Teochew lunch set at Zui Yu Xuan Teochew Restaurant at Amoy Street Singapore

Recently celebrated my brother's 70th birthday at Zui Yu Xuan Teochew Restaurant in Amoy Street. First time we lunch here as we were Teochew and love teochew food. Read that they had this dish called Puning Bean Curd. History of this Puning Bean Curd was our childhood dish as my my Dad was born in Puning, Swatow, China. He sailed to Singapore in a boat from China with his parents.

As a child I loved the puning bean curd is really different from the rest of bean curd. Once fried, it is crispy on the outside and silky smooth on the inside and of course it goes well with my dad home made chilli. This Puning Bean Curd used to be found all over Singapore but soon faded away and no longer able to buy Puning Bean Curd in Singapore.

So we are so happy to chance upon this Puning Bean Curd after so many decades in this Teochew Restaurant. My siblings and I really like it so much and we visit the restaurant again hahaha, yes for the Puning Bean Curd.

Maybe I should start visiting my dad's hometown in Swatow, China (now called Shantou)

The restaurant is housed in this ancient building that looked like a temple. It was once a free school. Read more about the free school from source .

Before starting our meal, we were served some chinese tea in this cute cup with a fish at the bottom of the cup.

After finished drinking the tea, I could see the fish in the cup.

We got the complimentary prosperity bun since it was my brother's 70th birthday and my sister is a member of Jumbo Group.

We ordered the set menu. Our fist dish is the Teochew Classic Platter that comes with 4 different dishes.

Teochew Puning Bean Curd

Chilled Marinated Jelly fish

Deep fried Ngoh Hiang

Pig Trotter Terrine

We loved and missed the Teochew Puning Bean Curd, we ordered another two plates of it. Yummy.

Supreme Seafood Soup with Bird's Nest and winter melon 

OMG, I already started to feel so full hahaha, so much good stuff in the soup.

Shelled prawns wok fried with pepper and spiced salt

Soon Hock (Marble Goby) steamed with soya sauce

Home made vegetable bean curd braised with crab meat

Whole 10 head abalone braised with fish maw and spinach in Abalone sauce

Wok fried mee sua with seafood

Served  final thick chinese tea in the cute cup before our dessert

We changed the dessert of tau suan (in the set menu) to yam paste 

We were so happy with the lunch and feeling extremely full hahaha. We will definitely visit the restaurant again, love the ambience of the restaurant and the good and attentive service by the restaurant staff.
