Hua Yu Wee - Menu 3

This is Hua Yu Wee’s menu. Besides seafood, there are also meat, vegetable, soup and rice/noodle dishes.

Hua Yu Wee is famous for their seafood. There are various lobster, crab, prawn, crayfish, abalone/sea cucumber and fish dishes to choose from. 

Hua Yu Wee - Steamed Crab

You can have your crab cooked in different ways - Steamed, Ketchup with Chilli, Black Pepper, Salt and Butter Baked, Deep Fried Butter. 

I personally like the simplicity of Steamed Crab [seasonal price] with steamed egg at the base. Steaming brings out the natural sweetness of the crab. 

Hua Yu Wee - Shitake Kai Lan

For your daily dose of vegetables, Shitake Kai Lan [Small S$16.05, Medium S$21.40, Large S$26.75] is a good choice. The kai lan is crisp and well-cooked while the shiitake mushrooms are flavorful. 

Hua Yu Wee - Lala Hefen

Lala Hefen [Small S$16.10, Medium S$21.40, Large S$26.75] is one of Hua Yu Wee’s signature dish. The hor fun is served in clear lala broth and paired with lala, prawns, baby bok choy and crispy fritters. The lala broth is flavorful while the crispy fritters adds a crunchy texture to the hor fun. 

Hua Yu Wee - Yi Fu Noodle with Mushroom

The Yi Fu Noodle with Mushroom [Small S$10.70, Medium S$16.10, Large S$21.40] however, is well-flavored but has not enough ingredients. 

Hua Yu Wee - Yam Paste with Ginko Nut

Yam Paste with Ginko Nut [S$4.82] is surprisingly authentic. The yam paste and ginko nut is steamed and served in individual ceramic pots. The yam paste is smooth and creamy with a layer of shallot oil. It is rich and sweet, the perfect dessert to end a great meal. 

Hua Yu Wee is a heritage restaurant that serves a tantalizing array of zi char and seafood dishes in an old colonial bungalow.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
