Pu Tien
I have been racing against time recently. So do pardon my irregular postings. Due to time constraints, I decided not to post some of the moderate / not-so-tasty food. Here's one of the better restaurants I've been to recently. Enjoy!
Homemade Beancurd (9/10)
You will never go wrong by ordering this dish.
Sweet and Sour Pork in lychee (9/10)
The additional ingredient - lychee makes a difference! In novelty and in enhancing the flavour. Alas, there were some fatty meat in the dish - else it would be a perfect 10.
Spinach in salted egg and century egg in supreme stock (8/10)
Herbal Prawns (9/10)
I wanted to take photo in the bamboo container but my brother was too quick to ask the waitress to dish the contents in bowls for all of us. :P I love the soup even though it's herbal, something I usually don't like to take. Almost every table had this dish. Enough said huh? :)
Take note of the name. There are many Pu Tien's in Singapore. Some are its outlets, some are just... you know lar... :P In fact, there's another Pu Tien within a 2 minute walking distance from this one. It's not too difficult to judge which is the better one. One has a huge crowd and probably a queue at the entrance. The other has many empty tables. :P
Price
$86 for four persons
Place
127 Kitchener Road
Singapore 208514
(Prepare for some walking if you are going there by MRT. You will pass by the 'imitation' restaurant first...)

HK Fairwood
At the Airport. I finally had the chance to have our meals at Fairwood. I love the logo! Tilt it at any angle and he is still a happy man. :)
Some special pasta combo (7/10)
Wanton Mee Soup (8/10)
I had tried too many Wanton Mee soup during my stay in HK but none deserves a mention. There was once I had really great dumplings (super fresh prawns inside) but the mee wasn't as good. I decided to give one last go at Fairwood. Afterall, that's one of HK's must-try dishes, no?
It wasn't the out of the world kinda wanton mee soup, but it didn't disappoint me. In fact, it was overall the best I have eaten in HK.

HK He Hong Ji
Recommended by HK Tourism board wor.
Porridge (8/10)
Porridge was not bad. Watery and yet each grain has that sticky texture that a typical good bowl of porridge would have. You have to pay additional for a plate of you tiao, which I don't really recommend because it is pretty cold and oily. The hot glass of tea, as with many other restaurants, are complimentary and served once you are seated.

HK Yee Shun Milk Company
This was strongly recommended by our friend.
We searched days along Nathan road for it, only to find out muchhh later that it's at causeway bay. >_<" Phew... managed to have it on the last day.
It has the smoothness of a good soya beancurd in Singapore, but carries the taste of milk and ginger. That's all I can say. The first few spoons was like wow. Maybe because of the novelty and the fact that we travelled far to try this! We got bored of the taste after a few spoons :P It magically did help soothe my sore throat and ease my running nose though!
Steam milk? (translated from Dun Nai) with ginger - 8/10

HK Shangri-la
... not the hotel, but a noodle shop. :P
Seems like HK people love Cai Lan very much. Quite a few restaurants use his photos as an advertisement. :P And somehow, it worked. The restaurants with his photos are usually fully occupied.
You are allowed to choose your soup base. Either the normal one or the spicy one. If you choose the latter, you will be asked to choose from abt 8 levels of spiciness. My hub wanted medium spicy, but the waitress warned him that medium spicy is very spicy. So he went down one level. Alas, we should have told her that we are from Singapore! The spicy level was just mild, even for me!
If you want to have chu qian yi ding, it will be additional HK$2! Look how valued chu qian yi ding is over there. I think a typical Singaporean would have questioned, 'Siao ah, pay more for instant noodles?'. kekeke
I opted for the 'upgrade', anyway. :P
Pork noodles (8/10)
That's bean sprouts you see. cqyd beneath. :)

HK Maxim's
aka Mei Xin Xi Bing. It was everywhere. Some of the outlets are only like 1 minute walk apart!
Don't you just want to bring the little (happy) prince back? I did!
