Chen Fu Ji Seafood Classic @ Clarke Quay

Happy Dongzhi Festival!

Before our Chinese New Year approaching, we have another celebration. We will making and eating tangyuan (汤圆) or balls of glutinous rice, which symbolize family reunion.

Was celebrating Winter Solstice Festival (冬至) dinner last Sunday (22 Dec'13) with my hubby and his families at Chen Fu Ji located at Riverside Point, Clarke Quay. My hubby bought this voucher from DEAL.com.sg, S$100 for S$200 dining voucher.

An aprons with their restaurant name printed on it. How sweet!

Here comes the foods!

Vegetables were fresh and crunchy.

Oyster Sauce Emperor Vegetable (Medium Serving: S$27)

Hong Kong Kailan (Medium Serving: S$27)

Spicy Diced Chicken with Cashew Nuts (Large Serving: S$36)

The roasted duck skin was deftly curved into thin slices and it was crunchy and full of taste.

Roasted Peking Duck

Roasted Peking Duck Skin Wrapped with Egg

Spring Onion Soon Hock Fish

Not forgetting every Singaporean favorite, Chilli Crab! A seafood dish popular in Singapore and one of Singapore's most iconic must-try dishes.

Sri Lanka Chilli Crab

In total, the bill came to a jaw-dropping S$481.35 (without the voucher) for 6 pax! THE PRICE IS STEEP! After deducted the S$200 dining voucher and end up paying S$281.35 (include the service charge and 7% GST). The crab was the most expensive dish that night.

Overall, we really felt that the meal was not worth that much.

Fern & Kiwi @ Clarke Quay

Dinner & movie date with my hubby on Friday night! :)

Made a trip down to Fern & Kiwi near Clarke Quay to have dinner after work before heading to a movie date. I had bought a voucher through DEAL.com.sg S$120 Dining Cash Voucher (paid only S$60 instead of S$120).

Fern & Kiwi is a restaurant that serves authentic New Zealand food located at The Cannery in Clarke Quay. They had a bar downstairs and a restaurant upstairs, and I've bought the voucher dined at upstairs.

As usual, to save the waiting time of queuing, I've made a dinner reservation at 8.30pm on a Friday night.

"Kia Ora" is a greeting in Maori, New Zealand, which is the equivalent of "Hello".

Simple and Uncomplicated Menu

The dessert menu

Here are the dishes we ordered:

Pure South New Zealand Beef Fillet (Well Done)

Pork Spare Ribs - A Lone Star Classic

"Lady Claire" Potato Fries

Pineapple & Fruit Punch Juice

Trio Ice-Cream - Comes with 3 flavors Vanilla, Chocolate & Strawberry

 Using the voucher, we only end up paying S$16.48. If you are dining without the the voucher, you will probably need to spend about S$130+ for 2 person, and depends on how much food you order too.

Overall, the food is nice, the ambience was cosy and the service was excellent.
