Took a faraway visitor to what is fast becoming my favorite restaurant, House of Peranakan Cuisine, at the Pan Pacific Orchard. Great ambiance on a Sunday night with 2 elderly old men belting out old classics - karaoke style, great food at decent prices in a hotel to wow any guest away. Photos of past and present presidents adorn the walls, making this place one of the hidden gems off Orchard Road. Some of the favorites here include the Babi Assam, Nonya Duck, Ngoh Hiang, especially the Ubi Kayu? (tapioca coated with coconut - looks so innocent and common, but totally blew my mind) Highly recommended !
Another gem off the road well traveled is the Zai Shun Curry Fishhead located at Jurong. I, total laziness personified, would never travel down so far for food if not for the call of hospitality and family in treating a foreign guest. The trip was well worth it. Fresh fish head, steamed fish stomach and liver(pre-ordered and really hard to get), pig trotters(hey, there's plenty of collagen in these things) and other side dishes did not disappoint.
Good company makes all the difference in the world :) All the photos were taken by my new HTC Diamond2, I heart HTC! Windows Mobile for the inner geek in me.
