A few weeks back, the boyfriend and I were pondering what to buy his dad for his birthday.
After much contemplation we decided that food will still be the best option as his dad is super not materialistic. Thus, we decided to buy him some wine and bake him a cake!
Ta-dah! Check out the chocolate cake that I made! :) It was super decadent but a tad too sweet because the dark chocolate I bought wasn't really DARK dark.
Anyways we also had dinner that night at a Chinese restaurant that his dad wanted to try. It's called Oriental Viva at Viva Home Shopping Mall. They supposedly specialise in a somewhat fusion style of Chinese cuisine and have won numerous awards as well.
We ended up ordering just a few dishes to try as we weren't really up for a big meal.
First up, the Dragon Fruit Beef.
I loved this! It has that sweet salty combo that I'm addicted to with the strong savoury taste of the beef and a subtle sweetness from the dragon fruit chunks. The fruit goes well with the beefy sauce too!
We also tried their Special Chicken Rojak Buah. Fried chicken with traditional rojak buah.
Loved the rojak! It taste... Like rojak lol! The chicken quite disappointing though. It was really oily and a bit soggy. I think they pan fried it instead of deep fry which led to the sogginess. If it were crispier, I think it would have been much better.
Another dish we tried was the Pumpkin Balls with Stir Fried Lotus Root and Veggies.
The balls were great! Crispy exterior and fluffy interior. The veggie were just normal... Nothing to scream about.
We also had a plate of Siew Yok which I didn't take a photo of. That was great as well! Which explains the lack of photo.... We gobbled it up too fast! Hahaha!
Don't think I'll be returning there again soon, would much rather go to Purple Cane (plus its cheaper) :p
