Boon Tong Kee

Boon Tong Kee @ AMK

Tried this relatively new Boon Tong Kee Restaurant at AMK Blk 233, along amk street 22 on a Sunday Lunch. This is opposite to the Melben Crab restaurant at block 232.

The dishes were very nice. Ordered the fried bittergourd with salted egg. It's very nicely done and fragrant. The winter melon soup was clear and very delicious too.

Need to be at this place early as the carpark can be quite full. Especially during evening time and weekends. Many cars flocked there for the Melben Crab.

Tung Lok classics

Tung Lok Classics @ Chinese Swimming Club

Tried the weekday Dim Sum Buffet Lunch at Tung Lok Classics. The buffet consists of a soup, noodles, unlimited dim sum and one test tube juice. Each set cost $24.90. Not worth trying at all.

We started off with the soup and it was pretty nice. However, the rest of the dim sum was really so-so only with some of them of no standard at all. The xiao long bao skin looks very crumpled up and not tasty at all.

The service of the staffs was not to the standard that I have experienced from other Tung Lok restaurants. No smiles and not friendly at all. They just put on a "serious" face and go about serving.

Luckily, we finish off with the test tube juice which is quite refreshing!

Japanese LaMian

Japanese LaMian @ Changi Airport T3

The Lamian is average only. Must make sure the noodles is of a thinner type. My wife bought from one of the stall whereby they server thicker noodles. No so nice with the thicker noodles.
