Orchard

I first saw @ladandco.sg or @ladanddad.sg was back in 3 years ago, soon after We moved here, the first time we went to maxwell food centre.I thought wow there was a western food stall in hawker centre. Totally forgot about this place.. (opps sorry about this, now i know what I missed out in the last 3 years). About few months ago, in a car went past Lad and dad as a gastropub. Oh oh i remember this. Before even i have a chance to go there. I heard about Lad and co with craft beer! Ok this is the chance and here we were today!
If there was a selection of fish for you to choose, i would have thought i was in a chip shop in England.

My fish and chip was just small size but very decent small size. It was definitely enough for me. The crispy light batter was so good. Didnt feel any greasiness or the taste of reused oil (or we called it 10k year oil in HK) Very nicely done

Mr. W had the banger and mash, i had a little taste. It was equally good. I love the gravies and mash.

Now i really want to go to Lad and Dad for the beef stew and big breakfast.

Please make sunday roast with yorkshire pudding, you will see me every other week or at least once a month!

I can see we are going to be a regulars there. Even Miss W said the fish and chip tasted better than what she had before!! She is a little foodie.

Have only been here few times, the food is always good and good for value.

Burrata to stop me from fainting and half portion of alio e olio.

Sweet potato chips came for free because there was a delay on the bone marrow.

Mother’s day dinner @jadepalacesg

I have been craving for peking duck for very long time. This place might not be a famous for peking duck, at least the food is good.

Crispy tofu ($8) Mr.W ‘s favourite dish but this one is full of garlic. Honestly this is not great. Quite dry….

Peking Duck (1/2) $46
I was shocked to see there were only 8 piece!! I could have eaten all these on my own!! And i DIDNT! This is not a bad at least good enough to satisfy my craving. And the 2nd dish!! I had the duck meat fried with E fu noodle. I have also craved for e fu noodle for long time. Ok you are forgiven for the small quantity for peking duck. Little Miss W was very happy with the prawn cracker.

Broccoli with bamboo shoot and mushroom ($30) the broccoli was very crunchy, cooked just right. Hate the overcooked broccoli at home 😵‍💫 so that Little miss W would eat it like a old grandma needs soft veggie…. 😫

Crispy chicken (1/2) $28
Always nice to have this in restaurant because it is hard to cook this at home. Satisfied my another craving and thank god this one had no garlic! Or Mr.W would give me black face.

E fu noodle fried with duck meat
The duck meat was soo tough… still happy that i could order the noodle as part of the peking otherwise i would have ordered it as a separate dish.

Little Miss W saw the noodle, she nearly bursted into tears saying “This is not the noodle i want “ I simply said this is mummy’s favourite noodle. Trust me you will like it and this is not that easy to find in singapore, usually only in HK restaurants. She had a a mouth full. I saw a smile on her face. She has very similar taste in food as me. I was sure she would like it. She then said when we travel to HK, is it affordable to have it🤣🤣 yes certainly. Can be 3 times cheaper too!

Overall a very satisfying dinner to me. Not cheap! About 1/3 of the dinner last night….. but Its mama day! Once in a while i can be selfish and picked what i like. Actually i didnt….. i saw there is lamb stew in the special menu… and i also wanted to order the claypot rice. But only 3 of us, its hard to order these two…. 😫
