Review of the Library - Bar @ Keong Saik Road

Went to this "hidden" bar a few hours back.


Very dim atmosphere which makes reading the menu a challenging chore.


It was quite crowded towards the end and I can't wait to get out of there.


Service was alright though it was verging on the rude side at some point in time...


Drinks was alright...


Don't think I will be back anything soon.

Wai San Chicken

First time cooking this dish based on the following newspaper cutting.

Chicken fillets was already marinated using italian herbs instead of what was recommended in the recipe. My tiny attempt at fusion cuisine.


Added mushrooms to the above recipe with the end product below.

This dish is supposed to be good for people with weak constitution or people who tends to "kill" alot of their braincells.


Remaining amount of Wai Shan aka Shan Yao will be used to cook this Wai Shan minced meat porridge for tomorrow's breakfast.

Chicken gone bad...

Having this family steamboat gathering later and was happily planning and buying the various ingredients the past few days.


Bought 2 sets of chicken bones from Jingshan wet market downstairs on Saturday and was happily boiling water to rinse the chicken bones to prepare the chicken soup base when I realized it has gone bad!


I whiff at the bowl of raw chicken bones so many times to be certain and even asked HIM to do a whiff test to be certain.


The raw sourish smell plus the roasted chicken rice we had just a few minutes ago was enough to make me feel nauseous :(


Got to depend on my trusty pork soup powder for the soup base later...


Felt so cheated sia...


Bought for less than 3 days and the chicken bones had gone bad? Keeping in mind that I washed the items and freeze them on the same day before defrosting them this morning.


Should have just bought the items from NTUC etc.
