good poon choi and service at this old establishment in the even older orchard hotel. this was our traditional dinner out on the first night of chinese new year, and it’s pretty much become standard practice for the meal to revolve around poon choi – essentially a basin of dried seafood and meat in a savoury sauce.
really good cantonese food at the paragon shopping centre. the paragon is an oasis of calm in orchard road, and the presence of this place as well as imperial treasure super peking duck make it such a good place for enjoyable dinners and a short walk before and after.
I’ve been here once before with my parents, and we didn’t like it very much. this would have been at least four or five years ago, and all we remembered of the place was how garishly it was decorated (a little like this one) as well as how dark the entire dining area was – so much so that you could barely see your food. the food was hardly memorable either, since we barely have any recollection of what we had. the story is rather different this time around.
