Famous
Treasure is an offshoot of The Famous Kitchen, a popular casual restaurant
located in Sembawang. Leveraging on some of the speciality dishes from Famous Kitchen,
Famous Treasure presents Nanyang heritage cuisine (nostalgic dishes of Teochew,
Hokkien and Cantonese descent with influences from Singapore, Malaysia,
Thailand and Indonesia) plus extensive roast selections.

The Nanyang
heritage cuisines can be found in the Famous Treasure Signatures. Highlights of
the Famous Treasures Signatures are:
Marinated Cockles Teochew Style ($12).
Raw cockles marinated in homemade chilli sauce. The “garang” presentation
already put diners on notice that this dish is super fiery. The plump and juicy
fresh cockles absorb the numbing and spicy marinate, it sure opens up the
appetite for diners who enjoy a spicy dish.

Deep-fried Pork Belly with Fermented Beancurd
(S$20, M$30, L$40). The pork belly is marinated with fermented beancurd and
deep-fried. The pungent aroma of the fermented beancurd will entice your palate
before you bit into the pork belly. The exterior is crispy, while the interior
is fat, juicy and succulent. It is served with green colour sauce, made from
chilli padi, green chilli and other secret ingredients. The garlic gave a touch
of sweetness in this dish.

Wok-fried Squid with Chinchalok and Lady's Finger
(S$18, M$28, L36). A unique dish that can be traced from the Peranakan
heritage. The squid is juicy and springy, while the ladyfingers are nicely
cooked. However, LD feels that this dish needs to be bolder, a couple more
dollops of chinchalok and chilli will make this dish stands out.

Traditional
Fish Head Curry (Half $35, Whole $65). A perennial favourite in the Nanyang
area. The curry is closer to the Nyonya version. The curry is rich, creamy and
packs with “lemak” that absorbs nicely into the fresh fishhead. The lady’s
finger, tomato, eggplant and tau pork (dried bean curd puff) round up this
“rice thief” dish nicely.

Marble Goby steamed with Preserved Vegetables on Hot
Plate (Seasonal Price). My first time trying this dish. The
Marble Goby fish is covered with salted vegetables, chilli padi, pork belly and
delicious thick gravy. Though the salted vegetables are strong it flavours, it complements
the fish nicely instead of overpowering it.

Live Flower Crab baked with Rock Salt (Seasonal
Price). The flesh of the flower crabs is solid. The freshness of the crabs
really shines in this dish and baking it with rock salt seems to accentuate the
natural sweetness in the flower crab.

KL Style Hokkien Mee (S$18, M$28 and L$36).
The noodle dish that made famous in Kuala Lumpur. The noodle is thick and
springy, coated with thick and sweet sauce. As the noodle is fried with pork
lard and pork oil, it exudes an appetizing aroma plus the crispiness of the
pork lard is just enticing for foodies like us. One of the better KL Hokkien
Mee that I ever have in Singapore. #Noodleporn.

From
Famous Treasure roast selections, we tried:
BBQ
Duo Combination Platter (S$24, M$36, L$48). Combination platter of Roasted Crispy Pork Belly and BBQ Honey Glazed Pork (Char Siew). The char siew
has a nice caramelisation externally with sweet and a touch of bitterness. The
flesh is juicy and melts in your mouth. Meanwhile, the crispy pork has a paper
crunchy skin, with juicy and succulent meat. Dual #Porkgasm. I will definitely
order this combo platter anytime.

Irish
Duck ($38 for half, $68 for whole). The famous “Silver Hill” duck is
roasted to perfection. The skin is crispy, juicy with a nice fattiness under
the skin. The flesh is juicy, succulent without any gaminess at all from breast
meat to the thigh meat. We always feel that roast Irish Duck is the closest version
to roast goose that we usually eat in Hong Kong. Yummy.

Another
appetizer that we tried is Crispy Fish Skin with
Salted Egg Yolk ($10). Crispy and crunchy fish skin, coated with salted
egg sauce. A delicious treat for the dishes to come. Also don’t miss out on the pickled cherry tomatoes. It is bursting with juicy sweet and sour liquid
that will awaken your appetite.

For
dessert, LD and I ordered Chilled Mango Puree with Pomelo and Sago ($8) and
Glutinous Rice Ball in Ginger Soup ($8).
The mango puree is thick, creamy and packed with sweet mango flavour. The
citrusy pomelo and sago supposed to balance this sweetness of this dish.

The
glutinous rice ball come with a strong ginger soup, that warms up your stomach.
The rice ball is average, as the skin of the ball is very thick and the
fillings are plain.

The
décor of Famous Treasure is elegant with contemporary interior. The restaurant can
accommodate up to 150 diners, with four private rooms available for private
events and celebrations. Famous Treasure is well known for events showcasing
the pairing of Nanyang cuisine with wine, whiskey and other liquors.
