Summer Palace One Michelin Star Chef Liu Tasting Menu for Lunch

Had a gorgeous lunch at Summer Palace restaurant located in Regent's Hotel.  This is a one Michelin Star establishment, serving awesome cantonese cuisine.  Below is a video of the food I had.  This was the menu, which changed weekly.  This visit was in early 2019.

1. Dim Sum Selection 2. Braised Baby Abalone Eight Treasures Soup in Stone Pot 3. Braised Bean Gluten and Crab Meat and Garden Green 4. Sauteed Fresh Prawn with Ginger, Onion and Fried FIsh Noodles with Shredded Chicken 5. Dessert Platter



The food was good!  Very enjoyable.  At $48++/pax , it was a very reasonable price for what we got.

We also had a similar lunch back in 2017.  Food was Awesome! We had lunch at the Summer Palace restaurant, Regent Hotel singapore. We had the Chef Liu tasting menu and the food was awesome! Started with a Dim Sum Trio, followed by a hot & sour soup with fish fillets, and then beef tenderloin with veggies, lobster and vermicelli plus a dessert which was also a trio. Very good!

Thanks for watching!!

The Loaf, Langkawi, European style Bakery and Bistro owned by Dr Mahathir ex PM of Malaysia

The Loaf Bakery and Bistro, Langkawi. This is a premier bakery first opened in 2006, at the Perdana Quay in Telaga Harbour Park. Subsequently they have opened in several places in Malaysia.

The Loaf produces bakery products like bread, pastries, cookies using traditional Japanese methods. They also have a comprehensive ala carte menu, where you can have breakfast, lunch or dinner.

The Loaf is owned by Tun Dr Mahathir, the most famous ex-Prime Minister of Malaysia. This video shows you our experience at the Loaf Langkawi, Perdana Quay. We had heard about this place and decided to come here for lunch. The bistro is located quite near the SkyCab Cable Car.


Here are some pictures. Inside the Bistro.

The first breakfast item caught my attention. Why? It says Tun's Breakfast! Can I conclude that this is Tun's favourite breakfast? For RM 26, you get a choice of lamb, beef or chicken curry with toasted bread, soft-boiled egg, orange juice, coffee OR tea. Sounds hearty!

Front page of the menu. Prices were still reasonable by Singaporean standards. But of course these prices would be expensive by local standards.

Back page of the menu, including drinks. Cappuccino for 10RM.

Hot coffee. Neat cup. Came with a nice cookie too.

Some of the breads on sale. These breads were supposed to be very good.

This was the Loaf signature club sandwich. Very hearty!

Do watch the video to see what food we ate, including signature sandwiches, soup, laksa, grilled fish on rice and grilled chicken on rice. Thanks for reading!

Clan Restaurant - Jalan Bukit Pasoh Rd

Family went to the Clan Restaurant this evening, to celebrate my birthday.  This restaurant has garnered many positive reviews in recent times.  So, we were looking forward to the experience.

The place was not difficult to find.  However, parking may be a problem. Fortunately we arrived quite early, before 6:30pm.  Even then, there was only one lot available (street parking @ 50cents per half hour).

We had made a reservation and were swiftly brought to our table on the second floor.  This shot was taken on the way in.

We were seated at a quiet corner.  The restaurant was fairly large, seating capacity should be 100+.  Close to our table was this wine chiller.

The friendly waiter quickly brought out a lime sorbet to wash the palate.  Very refreshing.

This was the menu - 6 course Dinner.  For kids under 12, they had a kids' menu (3 course dinner), which was very good. 

Menu

This was the Chef's Starter.  The right most dish was Chawanmushi.  The middle was some scallop thing and the cup on the left was some fried fish wrapped in a roll.  All very tasty.

A closer look.

The Cold Dish - Alaskan King Crab with seasonal greens.  Very good stuff!  My wife and I had the same.

The Side Dish - Tempura Soft Shell Crab.  Wife had this and the kids took many bites!

My side dish - the Herb Crusted Mushroom Escargots.  Very delicious.

Soup - Crab Bisque & Prawn Twister.  You drank the soup straight from the cup.  It was a rich soup.  Wife wanted a clear soup, so she chose the Chicken Consume.  Kids had the Mushroom soup from the main menu.  The waiter told us it was a complimentary upgrade for them.  The mushroom soup was very good. (sorry, forgot to take a picture)

Kids' Menu - Main course was either the Fish Fingers or the Teriyaki Chicken.  Servings quite fairly large. This was the Fish.

Kids Menu - This was the Teriyaki Chicken - a solid piece of tasty chicken meat.

Main Course - Wife chose the pork.  It was not bad.

Main Course - The beef on the hotstone!  This was their signature dish.  A very generous serving of very tender beef, which you have to cook on the hot stone.  It was delicious, and my boy took a couple of pieces!  (Be careful not to touch the stone, unless you want to cook your finger.)

A closer look at the rare beef.  Don't worry, the stone retains enough heat to cook it very well.

A video of the beef, sizzling on the hot stone.

We had told the waiter that this dinner was to celebrate my birthday.  So they brought out a nice slice of cake with the words - 'Happy Birthday, Daddy". A nice touch.

Dessert - Chocolate Lava.  Our waiter said that this dessert beat all the others hands-down.  Furthermore, he kindly 'upgraded' our kids' dessert to this Chocolate Lava.  Again, a very nice touch.  The dessert was awesome and a great hit with the kids!

Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience.  The restaurant is highly recommended for a nice dinner, reasonably priced given the quality of the food.
