LUNCH AT MY NEIGHBOUR'S KITCHEN

Ever since my last preview meal at My Neighbour's Kitchen, Wilson had moved his joint to another apartment at an adjoining block in Bishan.

The decor is vastly different. But still takes on a very homely feel.

I was invited to an impromptu steak lunch recently at the Kitchen.

You can find some pretty old-school decor dotting the house. 

 

The six-course dinner menu

Sous vide steak done medium rare 4.25/5

Nutella gelato with fizzy chocolate surprise 4/5

If you would like to know more about the place, search FB for My Neighbour's Kitchen or text Wilson at 9850 2185. It's opened for business. Wine pairing is available as well.

 

RISTORANTE DA VALENTINO

I had not eaten at RDV for some years. Even the move to Turf City did not enticed me.

So here I was on a rainy afternoon. 

The new place is much bigger with more space between tables. 

Here's what we had in order of tastiness. 

Cheese wrapped with parma ham and pan fried. 3.75/5

Seafood soup.  Imagine Wah Kee + Tomato. 4/5

Daily special pork chop. 4.25/5

Squid ink fettuccine with tomato cream sauce and crab chunks. Sublime. 4.5/5 

A TALE OF TWO CHICKENS

Apparently, there are two places where you can have fried chicken at Lucky Plaza's level 6.

But the fortunes of both places, thankfully are good enough that they each manage to thrive.

On one side, you have fried chicken from the Philippines...Jollibee.

On the other, As-Shifaa Cafe. 

As what?!

As-Shifaa Cafe.

That's right. They sell Malay fried chicken rice that is way way way better than Jollibee. Not that Jollibee is bad, but As-Shifaa's is way way way better. 

And at a much lower price point.

Gone are the queues of the maniacal fans of yonder.

The chicken is juicy with nice skin. But lacks the flavour. KFC's taste is better. The dog is flat. The spag is not worth the price.

The legendary.

4.5/5
