Imperial Treasure Noodle House Sentosa

We just had a great meal of noodles and Xiao long bao (Chinese meat dumplings) at this outlet at ResortsWorld Sentosa. We crave for their simple Yang Choon La Mian (杨春拉面）noodles @ S$6 which is springy noodles cooked in a bowl of delicious hot soup! Or you can order the chicken noodles which is just as good but slightly costlier at around $11 and served with an additional bowl of chicken soup. The noodles are QQ and real chewy. Soup is light and tasty. Eaten together with a plate of spinach @ around $11-$13 and some hot steamy Xiao long bao (小笼包）Chinese meat dumplings @ $6, this is really satisfying!

A picture speaks a thousand words. Our meal in summary:

Original Chiew Kee Noodle House

No Singaporean would not know of the Chiew Kee Noodle House located at Upper Cross Street for their traditional famous yummy juicy soya sauce chicken noodles! This little coffee stall just beside the road and in front of the bus stop has been selling soya sauce chicken since I was young. This stall is hailed by the younger brother while there is another Chiew Kee Eating House further down the road also serving soya sauce chicken owned by the elder sister. 

We just had our plate of delicious soya sauce chicken noodle here in Chinatiwn. The famous soya sauce chicken noodle house in Singapore Chinatown! It's so delicious I gobble down everything and forgot to take a photo of it! The soya sauce chicken is dark brown in colour having been cooked with soya sauce over many hours. The meat is tender and juicy. The skin is not very oily but has just enough fat for you to chew on. The noodles are springy and chewy. They also serve chicken rice. Delicious! See I ate it all up ... And even forgot my photo! You have to try it too.. 

Chiew Kee Noodle House is at 32 Upper Cross Street, Singapore.

Loo's Hainanese Curry Rice

This food stall is the one you cannot miss if you visit the Tiong Bahru pre-war house estate! It's been there since 1946. Always long queues during meal times. They only open half the day (8am-2pm). By the late afternoon, all the food would be sold out.. It has been a long time since we ate here at the famous Loo's Hainanese Curry Rice. 

The food stall had shifted from their old time coffee shop at the junction directly facing the Tiong Bahru market to this new coffee shop just 2 streets down the road. Ask around for Hainanese Curry Rice stall if you can't find it.. And people will be able to direct you there.

Rave reviews found on their shop front..

Look what a local Hainanese curry rice feast both of us had! This meal we had are the non-spicy dish menu..  

Well cooked delicious local delight that are so home cooked and representative of Singaporean food on the table! Need I say more, everything is great on the menu. Full stop. 

If you visit them, you cannot miss their Hainanese pork chop, curry chicken, sambal prawn and sotong (squids)! And also their assam fish slices and stew pork in dark soya sauce and cabbages!! The spicy and fried sinful stuff but they are the die die must try!! 

Loo's Hainanese Curry Rice is at Blk 71 Seng Poh Road, #01-49 Singapore 160071. Tel: 6225 3762. Open Mon-Sun 8am-2pm. Closed on alt Thursdays.

Luk Yu Teahouse and Restaurant

Luk Yu an unusual Chinese name for a restaurant. Its the name of a Guangdong dim sum Chinese restaurant which I believe started a branch here in Singapore. They have restaurants in Hong Kong and China so we must try. We visited the restaurant at Chinatown Point for dinner. 

The Chinese cuisines are generally good. At least for my tastebuds. We ordered the Daily Soup - which was arrow root cooked with pork ribs. Each serving was $6 per bowl. It was well boiled and delicious. Soup base was not too thick. Just nice. 

Next we had the Homemade Tofu cooked with Spinach Soup. Each piece is served at $4. It was cooked chewy on the outside and soft on the inside. Great one!

Then we had the spinach cooked with 3 coloured eggs (that is; egg, salted egg and century egg). Nice and soupy! But quite the usual. 

I had to compliment the last surprise we ordered - which is the garoupa fish fillets dish! It came served on top of soft tofu and the dish was a delight ! The dish was pretty tasteful and the gravy could have used brewed soup as the base. Hence bringing out the flavor. The fillets were soft and chewy. A bite with the tofu blends very well together. Innovative!

All in we spent about $70-$80. Simple earnest and delicious dishes. Reasonable for 5 person. I have yet to try their afternoon dim sum tea buffet. Heard its good. Let me know if you try them too. 

Luk Yu Teahouse and restaurant is at Chinatown Point #01-41/42, Singapore. Tel: 6262 1717  (http:// www.lukyu.sg)

Tablescape @ Movenpick Heritage Hotel Sentosa

Fancy a quiet day out at Sentosa? We escaped to the Movenpick Heritage Hotel at Sentosa. There at the lobby, we found Tablescape. Entered the restaurant for tea..

We enjoyed the free flow of delicious oat bread!

And tried their All Day breakfast set which is not too bad..

Not highly recommended but passable. 

You can go for their Movenpick ice-cream (Swiss chocolate) at $6.50 which is frozen cold and delicious!!

Tablescape is within the Movenpick Heritage Hotel located just opposite the Sentosa Express (Imbiah Station) on Sentosa Island.
