Authentic Mun Chee Kee King Of Pig's Organ Soup – The Best Pig Organ Soup

Pig's Organ Soup is a traditional Chinese soup from Teochew Origin, which has clear yet robust broth with mix pig offals. Due to the tedious process required in preparation of this dish, it has become pretty difficult to get a bowl of good quality Pig's Organ Soup in Singapore.

My first encounter with Pig's Organ Soup by Authentic Mun Chee Kee King of Pig's Organ Soup ('AMCK') was about three years ago. It was during our late night supper search. Since then, it has become a must-go-to place for LD and I, when we are looking for soupy stuff in the middle of the night. Kind of our supper comfort soup.

Kuvo, a multi-concept restaurant and bar located in the middle of Orchard Road. I was first introduced to this unique restaurant that are well-hidden in the bustle shopping paradise by our friends A&J. It was a memorable one as we had high tea here and celebrating my beloved LD's birthday. The review for high tea at Kuvo is available here.

In welcoming the new year, Kuvo introduced a new menu and new concept to its customers, with food and bespoked cocktail pairings. With head bartender Mr. Yutaka Nakashima as Kuvo chief mixologist, expect to see innovative, novel and at times quirky cocktails with Japanese flair. Please note that due to my medical conditions, I was not able to taste the cocktails, so I enlist Ivan Teh – Running Man for his drinking palate.

[CLOSED] Noodle Place – Just Like Eating Wanton Mee in Hong Kong

Noodle Place @ Orchard Gateway

One of the must-try food when you go to Hong Kong is Wanton Mee. Though we have our own version of wanton mee in Singapore, the one in that we normally eat in Hong Kong is different.

The Hong Kong version of wanton mee normally come in clear soupy version. The noodle is thin, springy almost feel like you are biting wires. Fresh, crunchy shrimp wanton which are filled with fragrant sesame oil topped with chopped yellow chives and a robust broth.

Shrimp Wanton Noodle - Soup Version

Recently we found a pretty good place for Hong Kong style of wanton mee in Orchard Road, called Noodle Place. With a little digging, I found out that it was actually owned by PFS Pte Ltd, the food service arm of Prima Group. Apparently, they engaged Chef Chui Chuen Lai, former Executive Chef of Mak's Noodle in Hong Kong as Head Consultant to give Noodle Place the authentic Hong Kong dining experience.
