Little did I know it is run by the management of Bosses, which is a fairly decent Chinese restaurant at Vivocity, until I was presented with the menu. Knowing that, I was more confident with the food at Yu then as my dining experience at Bosses was superior! LOL.
Similar to Bosses, we were served with deep fried crispy fish skin once we were seated at Yu. I guess it’s a love-hate relationship when it comes to this appetizer. One of my friends loves the fish skin and said he could easily finish one whole big pack without knowing it but B didn’t like it at all when she got to try it at Bosses. So, what’s your say?
We pampered ourselves with loads of food this time; way too much for two! We ordered a BBQ combo; a combination of roast duck, BBQ pork (Char Siew) and crispy roast pork belly (Siew Yuk). All these were fairly decent prepared! Flavourful and crispy!! Nice~
We also ordered a soup; Sze Chuan soup with Grouper! The presentation was quite dull; not appealing. But the taste was similar to my mum’s home-cooked Sze Chuan soup! So, I like! Hehe.
Veggie is a must! It makes me feel healthier/ less guilty :P The “blanched” Kai Lan was surprisingly quite flavourful! I was totally fooled by its appearance when it was first served; thinking that it was just a simple blanched and perhaps tasteless kai lan that could be easily done at home/ on your own. But I knew I was absolutely wrong upon first bite! Thumbs up for this dish; blanched yet crunchy and flavourful kai lan matched with the wonderful crispy kai lan! *drools
For main, our last order would be another fingers-linking good dish; Steam rice with live prawns! The rice was really appetizing for someone who doesn’t like to eat plain rice like me! I think the rice was fried with salted egg yolk! And when it was steamed with prawns, all the juices and essences of the prawns were being absorbed by the rice! Thumbs and toes, all up for this dish!! Haha.
We were actually really really full after the main meals. But no meal is complete without some good desserts. And being indecisive; we ordered TWO to share!
We had my all-time-favourite Egg yolk and Custard Bun/ Liu Sar Pau. It was not bad, but not one of the best that I have ever tried before. I find the filling rather insufficient for me. Please give me more “liu sar” :P
We also had a Bird’s Nest in Fresh Coconut which was strongly recommended by the waitress. It was made to order, so we waited for a while.
The first mouthful was quite sweet. My friend said it was most likely the sweetness from the coconut juice itself. Anwyay, I got immune to the sweetness somehow and finish the whole bowl. Perhaps, it was not overly sweetened afterall, tsk tsk.
Ahhh, another over-feeding case!! LOL.
But its ok! New Year, new resolution – Dear God, if you can’t make me resist all the good foods and maintain my current body weight, PLEASE let all my friends experience weight gain with me! Thank you! Hahahaha. (Just kidding friends, please dont boycott me *ke lian look* :P)
Happy and better 2012 everyone! Cheers!!
