It is raining outside so we spend the day in Festival Walk, walking, eating, walking, eating… And after all the walking and eating, we have dinner at Jasmine.
Pickled vegetable – whets the appetite
Triple taste of tomato (L-R): tomato with steamed egg white – quite ordinary,
tomato with sesame sauce – creamy and addicting,
tomato with lobster meat and udon – soggy udon in lobster bisque
Steamed prawn on egg white with “tai diao” rice liquor – light and delicate… and boring
Deep fried tofu coated with chili and coconut milk flavor – crisp on the outside,
creamy and silky inside
Steamed egg white and fresh crabmeat with lobster sauce – this is the entree size (sans udon) of the “tomato with lobster and udon” from the Triple Taste of Tomato appetizer.
It is like eating lobster bisque with jiggly egg white and chunks of crabmeat. I quite like it.
Red braised pork in young pumpkin – ok lah
Steamed gai-lan with oyster sauce – Dad’s favorite vegetable
Fried rice with diced duck meat, scallop and conpoy in casserole – looks tasty but
actually quite bland
Congee with conpoy – plain congee with exactly 5 strands of conpoy
Hot yiyi ren and pear, hot longan rose honey, hot salt lemon and osmanthus.
I like the middle cup best, albeit being a bit too sweet, the first cup second,
the third cup I do not like at all. But if I have to do this meal all over again,
I’ll stick with my usual drink of plain hot water.
