Sober brunch @ Jade Palace, Singapore

It was a really sober brunch on a lovely Sunday. Not that we are alwiz drunk but....ok enuff of explanation, no one will believe me anyway T_T

Jade Palace is our usual Sunday spot for dim sum that lasted for hours before catching our flight back home to Malaysia. Established in 1998, Jade Palace serves only authentic cantonese cuisine. What really impressed us was its winelist. :))))))))))))))

I can't remember when was the last time we refer to menu to order. Guess when u are a regular, u dun really check out the menu and the staffs usually knows what u wanna eat :))))


Who can miss such a gourmet beautifully roasted porkie!!!
wuahahahah served with mustard on the side
the meat and fat were evenly distributed with its crispy skin. We had so many of the above portion I can't remember how many :P


next is the famous caramelized char siew
I know....
I don't have to say anything...the above pic says it all....
:))))))))))))))))))
I am sure the chef is beaming with pride to have made such a beautiful char siew...eh eh eh, he uses only Kurobuta pork ok :)))))))

also lurve the bite size portion they served here. So we get to try and eat more variety of dim sum :))


Deep fried fat white baits - alwiz good to munch with some yummy white wines :))))))))

Si Fu Lawrence brought this cult maker..

Off Topic:
JS traveled to Thailand for golf with his friends and most of the men HAD to or maybe FORCED to buy something back for their wife/gf etc etc They usually ended up with jewelries and high value purchases....JS bought Monkey Crispy Thai Pork Skin with its spicy chili dip *which was less than RM 10*

Friend: "Huh??? is that all for her?"
JS: "Yeah that's wat she wants :))))"

Friend: "U sure??? U won't get killed for that?"
JS: "Yup, definitely....this is her favourite!!!"

Friend: "Oh damn...your gf is so easy and simple...just pork skin?? I wished mine is like yours :P"
JS -_-"

BBQ by the poolside

Roast Pork by Si Fu Lawrence
nope this was done at home and reheated over the charcoal fire
and NO i didn't steal that piece of crispy skin!!! it WASN'T ME
though I'm the most likely person to do that but IT WASN'T ME!!!!!

Sweet pumpkin, bell peppers and drumsticks for the kids
we were invited over for BBQ at Baba Brian's place
this was right after our awesome burpylicious lunch at Les Amis....something like 4 hours after our long 3-hours luncheon.

Baba Brian's son.....one of the twin.
he was serving food to all the guests....
"Auntie, do you want some chicken wings?"
>.<
"dearie....please call me jie jie OK???"

and she is the other Twin. Yup the Boy and the Girl are fraternal twin. They are only 7 years old and already so tall!!!!! How I've watched they grew over the years from lil toddlers till now.

*GASP*
OMG...I'm really an Auntie now
T_T

the amber was really hot and it's burning her delicate hand.....

and the Auntie-in-Denial helped lil gal to do it....
luckily I didn't burn her marshmallows. Only my pride was burnt....I'm an AUNTIE!!!
GAH!!!! *pulls hair*

wicked really yummy super awesome Beef Rendang cooked by Baba Brian
he's the king of baba nyonya cuisine...and how I missed his Kerang Curry!!!!

everyone was rationing the portion bcoz it's obviously not enuff for us :P
the meat was juicy and succulent....rendang was extremely flavourful.

One of the best beef rendang I've ever had in a long long long time....really comfort food...everyone whacked a huge plate of warm rice with these juicy succulent spicy meat. aaaAAAaaaaaaa...........

Si Fu Lawrence chopped up his roast pork and topped it with more spicy sambal with BBQ-ed squid...everything was so yummy....
crispy fatty roast pork belly, on top of juicy fresh Charcoal grilled squid douzed with spicy sambal sauce...who would have thought???? Oh damn gimme more rice!!!!

with all these happenning food goin around...nobody bothered to have the usual BBQ fair of grilled chicken and prawns and pumpkins. Apparently these are for the kiddos...not the adults!!! Now I'll show u wat's adults food about.

 grilled juicy steak!!!!! served with its own jus

 BBQ sting ray then then douzed with more sambal sauce :P

charcoal grilled Bone Marrow served with bread toasted on the chargoal fire as well
:))))))))))) so sinful!!!!!

Baba Brian here fanning the charcoal fire ferociously like a satay man to boil water on the pan....-_-"
yeah boiling water for JS to cook pasta...
I dunno how to fan like a satay man....I only know how to "fan and satay" at work tee hee hee.
while Si Fu Lawrence was also bz manning the station. Very out-back-ish.

JS was preparing the fish roe.....freshly flown in from Japan...I dunno wat he was up to but whatever he cooks Monkey eats...

did u actually cook with that bottle of corked Richebourg?
we didn't wanna waste it and brought it back hahahahahahaha. I think they just douze the meat with it at the end????

the final result of fish roe pasta with crunchy ebi and crispy seaweed
trying to emulate another chef huh? Hahahaha very modern french japanese style....guess who?

Grilled Portobello mushrooms with cheese were for the kids
kiddo food has got no chillis!!!

Grilled sweet corn and japanese sweet potatoes are alwiz staple at BBQ
:)

I don't know we managed to eat after the huge lunch and then BBQ. Hahahahahahaha. We were raising our white flags that evening....all of us :P But I must say the Beef Rendang was exceptional. No matter how stuffed I am, will still go for it :)))))

Thank you Baba Brian and family for hosting us :))))
