Seafood Paradise @ Defu Lane 10

I'm back! Came back last nite and was so tired and the humidity here really hits you.

It's straight to having a delicious lunch on the first day back at work. It was a birthday celebration for 3 other colleagues whose birthday all fall on this month! Three of them are also in the same team maintaining our state of the art Unix servers.

Today's lunch is at Seafood Paradise that is situated in an industrial area at Defu Lane 10. It seems they have opened a branch at the Singapore Flyer too.



The first dish that came was the Seafood Supreme Fried Rice. Nicely done. The rice's coated with a golden hue, light and fluffy with pieces of crab meat and it has ebiko on top of it too.



We also had the broccoli that was topped with egg whites and scallops. The scallops hidden below it. We find this a bit bland.



The Homemade tofu. It's a big piece of tofu that's covered with meat floss. Below the meat floss you can find 'small bite size' sea cucumber, prawns and also vegetable. Not too bad.



The reason we came here is to have crabs!
This is the Crab in Superior Stock with vermicelli. Very starchy but nice. The 'tang hoon' taste quite good in the stock, which we think taste very chicken.



Posterior view. hehe..



The second crab we had it cooked with Butter.
Personally, I like the butter version. It's sweetish, but colleague said more butter would be better. We wanted mantou to go with this, but their supply of it has not arrived! arrghh..

But a little experiment, we added some butter sauce to the vermicelli, it tasted even better! LOL



Think this picture is a bit blurry. After eating crabs, your fingers get wobbly?
The Honey Pepper Ribs. Lovely.

Mei Xiang Fish Soup @ Berseh Food Centre (Jalan Besar)

Monday afternoon, a colleague said, let's go out somewhere to eat. He did not drive, so we would a cab. But where should we go??? Someone said Gayatri, long time no go liao. Then another said, Fish Soup at Jalan Besar. So, how did we decide where to go? I came out with this silly idea. We gonna hail a cab right? Indian driver, we go Gayatri, Chinese, we go Jalan Besar, Malay, we go Adam Road!

You so clever, sure guess which one came right?

We got dropped off right in front of the food centre. (What a name, must be so clean!) Berseh means clean in Malay.



Colleague queue up, I take photo. Always long queue, you wont miss it one.



This place only has dining in! No take away!
If you are able to see the sign, two sets. Black White Set meal or White Set Meal.



All 4 of us ordered the White Set meal. Meaning not fried fish, but all like in these pictures. Mr Recommender said he likes white set and we all listen to him lor.



Yes, we all loved it. The white rice looks very shiny when it arrived, looks very oily, but eat liao, no leh...



You should try if you are a fish soup lover.

Ming Kee Live Seafood @ 556 MacPherson Road (Part 2)

Continuation from yesterday's.....

We also had a fish. A very beautiful fish on our table! We were all quite amused with the standing fish! Steamed Teo Chew style.



It was big and you can see the amount of flesh! We really love it. You can just lick up the soup on the plate. haha...



For veggies, we had the 3 kind of eggs cooked with Nai Bai.



Aha! Why Momo wanted to come here for was for the Crab Mee Hoon!
We had 4 gigantic crabs, 2 per table like in this photo.





Big huge claws. We have a few crab lovers with us who thoroughly loved them!



We were a happy happy lot. The total bill was $610. Divided by 19 pple, $32 a person, decent.

Ming Kee Live Seafood @ 556 MacPherson Road

Last Saturday, we gave our friend Momo a surprise party. She was to go to Ming Kee with another friend (DKoh) to eat here because of the reviews they heard about this place. But... hey, the 18 other of us wants to eat too! So a plan was hatched.

We are going to surprise her and give her a treat here. With so many of us, we can order more food to try right? Birthday girl benefits, the rest of us too! *mua ha ha* Well, the planned worked! Two weeks of hard work paid off! She did not realize anything. haha...



The things we do, hiding below tables when she is spotted at the front coming in. 3 cameras were ready to snap photos!



So, what did we eat? The recommendation by the restaurant follows:
This is a 2 in 1 kind of dish. On one side is Guinness Stout Pork Ribs, oh now yummilicious!



On the other side is chicken. Can you imagine the taste yourself? :-p



Next it is Tian Ji (Frog legs) with Chicken Essence. Very nutritious dish!



You should try it! Really!



Next, it is baby squid that is steamed and topped with loads of garlic!
Half the table loved this, and haha... the other half can't stand the garlic.



Then we had homemade tofu with broccoli and mushroom. Wonderful!



By the way, we were split into 2 tables, so everything was replicated on the other table. Or else how to feed the 19 of us!

Coming up.... what is Ming Kee famous for?
