I am not sure if they have a menu for dessert because we ordered through the gentleman who took our orders.
My family members and I had one bowl each of either the warm “orh nee” - a Teochew favourite of yam paste with ginkgo nuts and what I think is a dash of coconut milk ($5), or the icy-cold peach gum with red dates ($10). We all liked our choices and did not find anything lacking in them.
If you like your vegetables full of flavour rather than simple and clean, this tasty version will suit you. It has three types of vegetables stirfried with fresh Chinese yam in a lightly spicy X.O. sauce. Best eaten with plain rice.
It was with my mum and dad that I visited this small Chinese restaurant for a second time. Barely a five-minute drive from my parents’ home, we arrived just before 6pm on a Sunday and could only get a table after we promised to return it by 7pm. Yes, they are that popular. So we swiftly ordered and the food arrived promptly soon after.
One of the dishes I found enjoyable was their “har cheong gai” or crunchy shrimp paste coated chicken wings. They came with plenty of crispy golden garlic bits which we happily scooped to add to our rice to savour.
Recently, I stumbled upon “Tasty Court by Chef Pung”, a Chinese restaurant.
Tucked away inside Opera Estate, the unofficial name of the residential neighbourhood in Siglap that has roads named after famous operas, it is smallish in size but offers a respectable selection of dishes.
Since there were only two of us, and most of the dishes come in one standard serving size, I decided two items would be enough for our lunch. Turns out they‘re generously apportioned and could have fed up to four people comfortably.
Anyway, pictured above is the “Stewed Rice Vermicelli in Seafood and Supreme Stock”. The striking golden colour of the broth took me by surprise but it was very tasty and thus, so was the “beehoon” as those strands of vermicelli were a natural sponge. Besides pieces of prawns and fish, there were mushroom in there as well. Although the dish had a lot of flavour, I did enjoy it even more with sliced red chillies. T.H. on the other hand, preferred pickled green chillies with it.
If I could give them a negative rating I would. The food is so so but the service is the worst ever. Staff are unfriendly and unhelpful. Basically they just ignore you.
Located at the intersection of Figaro street and Jalan Tua Kong, Tasty Court serves refined modern Chinese Zhi Char of real quality. My picks are the fried rice with roe, braised charcoal tofu and jackfruit chili crab. Will be back again!

We ordered half duck as we got a lot more dishes coming. Instead of simple roast duck, it is served with fresh fruits and mango sauce made this dish more “atas”. The combination of crispy skin, fatty duck and juicy meat is just delicious.

Looking for last minute makan place for Father's Day. Maybe you can consider this restaurant.

A modern plating of drunken chicken. .
The chicken is firm and succulent; however, it can do with more generous dose of Hua Diao wine. The ginger and spring onion paste added aroma and refreshing taste to the chicken roulade.

Absolutely Yummy. Crispy and juicy jumbo prawns, evenly coated with thick salted egg sauce and well hidden chilli padi.
.
This is probably the first time I will admit that the chilli actually accentuate the flavour of the salted egg.
.
We will definitely comeback to try their other dishes. .
We found this place by accident because the restaurant that accepted our online booking was closed on that day.

We went for the 5-course set lunch ($38++ min. 2 pax) as recommended by Mr. Kim, co-partner of the restaurant. This dish is the 4th course. Seafood beehoon in superior stock. Soft beehoon immersed in a very rich and creamy broth. Smooth consistency, abit salty but yet had a umami finish as I slurped spoonful after spoonful. Seafood was indeed fresh. I later found out that the base of the broth was from the humble carrot. Who knew, right? This was really good. And just look at the golden yellow color. Yummy to the last drop.

This restaurant is so hidden, smack right in a private residential estate. Not a very big place. Service is very good. If you intend to visit, reservations in advance is highly recommended.

A place I would visit again. Truly a hidden gem.

Nestled in between rows of landed houses, this fine-dine Chinese restaurant is nestled in a quiet corner of Siglap. Probably wouldn’t have found it without my aunt’s introduction.
Always cherishing family dinners. #weekend #herpenandfork #sgblogger #sgfoodie #8dayseat #burpple #vscofood #openricesg #cafehoppingsg #instafood #instafood_sg #onthetable #stfoodtrending #tastycourt
A set like this cost $188++ for 6 pax. Food is good, cooked by Chef Pung himself of course. These are some of his signatures. Go try it! After that can come for dessert, coffees or drinks.
