sunday 26th april - as uncle j left for his shanghai china trip yesterday, he let us take over his lunch reservation at club chinois. so we had an early mothers' day celebration. previously when i called up they told me that the reservation is fully taken up till july and when cousin a called to make another reservation for her family, it will be in august!
the best bet that i ordered was the cold pumkin served with black glutionous rice! gx didnt want to try this so this i shared with mum! i loved it and mum too wanted another bowl of this! it was so good! there wasnt this strong pumpkin smell and the paste was so cold and smooth! the black gluntinous rice served with coconut gave this dessert the crunch! very interesting texture and combination! as one bowl was not enough and it got the rest of my famliy interested, we made our last order 5 bowls of this and i ordered a aloe vera for gx and i was glad i did as he still didnt like the pumkin! mum said she is gog to try to make this dessert! if she succeed then i would really be in luck to have a bigger bowl of this nice dessert!
so for 1-for-1, it was $38x4=$152 and 8pax tea=$14.40 and with the ++%, our total was $195.85. each pax was about $24.83 and it was worth it as the meal at LBJ for 5 was oredi $170++! after we left the resturant, we took family shots and individual shots with mum! too bad dad had to work and lucky uncle k get to join us for the meal!
the decor of the restuarant is very simple compared to humble house but my sis, bro and gx prefered the menu here as there are more variety. but as for the serving of the dishes, they were not as efficient as humble house. at humble house they cooked according to the number of people. here they serve little dishes and they never told us so when they served the dimsum, only half the table got to eat as they only serve 1long that has only 4! we had to reorder most of the 1st round dishes! for some starters, most of us enjoyed the duck tongue! its was very tender! (the 1st dish among the 3 dishes), hardly in singapore did we come across this dish! we ordered the norm dimsum and appetiser dishes. only took pics of some different dishes. the salmon roll in crepe was nicely decorated but personally i find it not very nice... i find that the cooked salmon had a smell and the sauce can't cover the or enhance the taste.
unlike the humble house receipt where it list down all the food you ordered, thats how i remembered some names of the dishes, at CC they just had on the receipt UOB 1-for-1 promo. so i can't remember what type of mushroom it was but the so soft and nice and with the sauce, it taste like abalone! it was good! the fried dish was ordered by me as i was curious how monkey mushroom would look like! this was served with wasabi sauce but it was just piles of fried flour and i can't taste the mushroom at all!
the meesua was served in a special sauce and i like the soft, nicely twirled meesua, it was in a special sauce that was ok. we had quite alot of dishes except that i wasn't able to join in when they ate the yummy and big fried soft shell crabs and fried oysters! somehow i dun remember much of the food without the pics! my memory is alittle failing towards the last weeks of my pregnancy! the best part of cos has to be the desserts! unlike HH where the desserts were buffet-styled, here we get quite a few choices of bowled desserts! while the rest of my family only ordered 2-3desserts to share, i ordered 5 types to try with gx and mum! on the menu, there was almong cream with gluntinous riceball but i didnt order anything that was sounds too hot has riceballs in them! among the desserts we ordered, i didnt try the guilin gao and gluntinous riceballs.
-
personally i have very high standard when it comes to mango pudding! i find this too much gelatine and i dun like the sauce as its sweet-sourish! the lemongrass aloe vera and jelly was very cooling and refreshing! but i didnt like the dop of lime sherbet on top as it makes it sour! gx and i liked the red date longan soup as the sweetness was just nice and the red dates were so soft! the dessert that gx and i didnt like was the chestnut cream with fresh water chestnut! but mum finished it and said it was good!
the best bet that i ordered was the cold pumkin served with black glutionous rice! gx didnt want to try this so this i shared with mum! i loved it and mum too wanted another bowl of this! it was so good! there wasnt this strong pumpkin smell and the paste was so cold and smooth! the black gluntinous rice served with coconut gave this dessert the crunch! very interesting texture and combination! as one bowl was not enough and it got the rest of my famliy interested, we made our last order 5 bowls of this and i ordered a aloe vera for gx and i was glad i did as he still didnt like the pumkin! mum said she is gog to try to make this dessert! if she succeed then i would really be in luck to have a bigger bowl of this nice dessert!
