Over here in Singapore, we wanted to try somewhere different, so I decided on Min Jiang at Rochester Park. I love Peking Duck! So let's see how good they claimed they were!
The restaurant looks very cosy with nice Chinese deco. They have outdoor seating and the weather that night was quite nice, but the practical side of me can't help but imagine hundreds of blood thirsty mosquitoes lurking around the thick bushes surrounding the tables outside, waiting for their next meal. Forget it, we'll enjoy the view from inside, thanks.
As expected, the menu was posh, decadent and expensive. We ordered dishes like their famous Peking Duck and sweet and sour Kurobuta pork among others. The Peking Duck was delicious! Before we get to eat the typical wraps, the chef actually slice off skin from the neck and instructed us to eat with sugar!?? Strange, but when we tried it, it tasted awesome! The fatty crispy skin really goes very well with sugar! How strange..
The Peking Duck wraps came 2 styles – combined with leek, cucumber and sweet sauce; as well as combined with Tientsin cabbage, radish, garlic paste and sweet sauce. I like both, but the one with the garlic paste was really nice. As you can imagine, the dishes were all very rich and heavy, so, in the beginning we were gorging down the food while singing praises, but after a short while, we were struggling to finish the food! Haha, shouldn't have ordered so much.
The next day, which was the actual day, we spent a day at home, chilling out. I even got to do something that I haven't done for ages, which was to bake! Yeah! I've got the craving for a moist chocolate cupcake for ages ever since I've tasted those at Tweleve Cupcakes. So I got to do some baking that afternoon while Cobby watch the kids and I was so happy. For details of the bake, read this.
In the evening, after I've had my fill in the kitchen, we decided to go easy on our system, so we tried Vegan Burg for our Mother's Day dinner.
Well, it sure wasn't Burger King, but the food wasn't too bad. But it was quite expensive for a meal without an ounce of meat! Haha...
This year we have a new member to our little family. I've been promoted to Mother of TWO now, and life is not easy. There were days where I question why I even have kids. Jolie tests my patience EVERYDAY and Jayden cuts my rest time to, well, nil. But like everything in life, there are good sides too. Jayden is such a lovable and adorable baby, and not very difficult to manage. Jolie is growing more and more beautiful everyday and she's got the wits to match her looks! Just when you reached rock bottom, she would say the sweetest things that make all the crap worthwhile. So I just need to focus on the good things and enjoy these precious years before they grow up.
Mama love you my babies! :)
