Visit to a unique stall in Lucky Plaza

This is another old entry which I am trying to update now.

It was a visit to Orchard Road few months back and we were passing Lucky Plaza and my fren suggested to go and try a small eatery in Lucky Plaza. He mention you can try things like shark fin soup and abalone dish at under 10 bucks.

Out of curiosity, we went to the eatery. It was called Rabbit brand Seafood Delicacies. It is located if i recall correctly on level 2. The below is the screenshot of the menu.

The three of us each ordered different set menus each for variety.

The picture below is the Buddha Jump Over The Wall set menu.
I tried the soup and it was not bad.

My other fren had the shark fin soup set.
Myself I had the abalone noodle. I liked the noodle with the gravy and the special chili paste.

For the abalone, I not able to comment too much as not an expert on it. I liked the noodle so much I ordered another plate. ( Me noodle crazy :) )

Anyway it was an interesting experience and was quite value for money especially for the food you get in the city.

Only problem is there is limited seating and is quite full during my visit.

(Guess news spread fast)

Visit to Peach Blossom at Marina Mandarin Hotel

This is a review of a visit to the Peach Blossom restaurant to try out their dim sum Al carte buffet.

It is only available on the weekend afternoon from 12 noon to 3pm. If you are planning to go, it would be better to give a call a day before the visit to book a table as it is quite occupied.
The menu if i recall had about 30 plus items and there is a selection of deserts although it is limited to one order per person.

The below picture is the table layout.
The below is the stand for the teapot, quite interesting to me as first time see the teapot with a warmer below.
The following pictures are some of the fotos for the dim sum items we ordered. There were more items but was too busy eating and forgot to take foto.

The first item is the har gao or steamed prawn dumpling. It was quite ok. The filling was sufficient and the prawns is fresh and juicy.
The next item is the char siew chee chong fun. The texture was very smooth and went well with the filling.
The below is one of the unique fried items but have forgotten what it is.
The following two pictures are a snap shot of the various items that we had that day.

After which we decided to order the sweets to try out and the below are the fotos.


In general, the food was excellent although the service was a bit slow partly due to the large crowd of people in the restaurant at the time.
It is a place worth visiting again :)
