Hua Ting (Orchard Hotel)

After enjoying yummy food at Tung Lok Signature Vivocity last Monday, yesterday we tried another yummy ones at Hua Ting Restaurant at Orchard Hotel. Located at 2nd floor, it's hardly visible from the hotel lobby. If you can't find it, just ask to the friendly concierge and they'll be happy to assist you.

Arrived at 8.30pm, we were told to wait for the table to be prepared. Although it's quite late already, the restaurant is still pack with guests and it's not even weekend or public holiday eve. So I can assume that the food must be worth to try.

Here are the food we ordered

Combination of Pork Skin, Mayonnaise Prawn with Salmon Roe and Scallop wrapped by fried yam 

A combination of pork skin (on the left), mayonnaise prawn (center) and scallop (right). The pork skin is definitely the best of the three. It's a slice of cucumber with thin slice of meat and covered by thin yet super crispy pork skin on the top. The center is prawn dipped in mayonnaise and topped with salmon roe. Last but not least is scallop wrapped by fried yam.

Corn Soup with beancurd and mushroom

Honey Glazed Pork Ribs

The honey glazed pork ribs looks quite yummy. However we found that the ribs is not as good as it looks. It's not sweet enough and the tenderness is a little bit compromised. I was expecting a super tender pork ribs covered with sweet honey.

Hor Fun

The last dish we order from the menu was fried hor fun topped with egg.

We didn't order any dessert as the dishes portion were quite big and our stomach's full already. Perhaps next time we'll order the other yummy dishes.

Tung Lok Signatures (Vivocity)

After coming back from a short trip to Batam over the weekend and enjoying tasty ayam goreng bawang putih, my uncle and aunt arrived in Singapore and asked me where to have yummy food. My wife recalled that we had purchased 2 Tung Lok Group Restaurant vouchers from Groupon few weeks before. So we decided to bring them to Tung Lok Signature at Vivocity.

I made reservation for dinner at 7.30pm and when we reached there, a staff greeted us with smile and ushered us to our reserved table. They offered us their signature dishes and the recommended ones. We  decided to pick them ourselves.
Below are our choices.

Fish Maw Soup

The above fish maw soup is a must try. However I fine that a little bit vinegar would taste better.

Roasted Duck

The roasted duck above is served together with few slices of dumpling skin to wrap them. The staff didn't wrap them for us though, so we had to figure out ourselves. First, you laid down the skin on my small plate, then apply the sauce through out the skin and put the slices of cucumber and roasted duck on top of it. Wrap it like the picture below and it's ready to enjoy.

Note: if you do not like so much salty, don't apply too much sauce on the skin.

Baby Kailan with prawn

For vegetables, baby kailan with prawn is our choice.

Mango Ice Cream in young coconut

We ended our dinner with unique dessert, a mango ice cream in young coconut. Unfortunately the young coconut was not that young, so it's a bit difficult to grab the coconut. Otherwise it's a perfect dessert.
