[Food Tasting] Enjoy Eating House and Bar

Missing the time where we gather together as a full squad attending food tasting. Always enjoy the company of Jasmine, Shu Qing and Jessie. And one of those occasions was when we had the opportunity to try out dishes from Enjoy Eating House and Bar together. A post long overdue, but definitely still deserves a shout-out.

Enjoy Eating House and Bar is located at the heart of Singapore, in the very rustic Kam Leng Hotel along Jalan Besar with a retro restaurant theme. The owner and chef of the restaurant, Joel Ong, said it highlights the poignancy of the dishes they present as they are many of the dishes we grew up with as Singaporeans. He named the restaurant “Enjoy Eating House & Bar” as it evokes a certain nostalgia. With an undeniable passion for the art of cooking since young, Joel impresses his guests with his wok skills. He also ensures the food they serve uses the best and freshest ingredients for the best quality. All of their sauces are made in-house with no added MSG and the food is prepared to order so every dish is served freshly cooked.

The restaurant has a ZiChar-style menu personally curated that celebrates all the Asian influences that make Singaporean food so unique with four main signature dishes styled as the Four Heavenly Kings of Enjoy Eating House;

1. Brandy White Fish Soup – Made from scratch by boiling fried fish bones for hours on end to achieve a collagen-rich soup with a natural milky consistency. A shot of brandy elevates the flavour of the soup.

2. Singapore-style Chilli Prawns – Singaporeans may be more familiar with the crab version of this dish but this is a fuss-free version with pan-seared sea prawns. The sauce is Joel's own recipe and its flavour certainly packs a punch. As always, it goes great with fried Mantous.

3. Chef J’s BBQ Pork – One of Joel's very own creations. A Thai-inspired dish from his extensive experience. The texture and juiciness of the meat are what makes it such a crowd favourite.

4. Grandma’s “Te Kah” Bee Hoon – The Wok Hei and home-made tender braised pork leg shines through on this dish. A homage to Joel's dearly departed grandmother, the taste of this dish still brings warmth to his heart.

Another popular dish we love when we visited the restaurant is this Shiok Prawn Patties. The patty is crispy on the outside yet chewy and tasty inside it.

During this period of Circuit Breaker, their business is still on-going and is offering free island-wide delivery.

[Food Tasting] Good Bites At Bishan Sports Hall

Last week, I had a wonderful catch-up session with my girlfriends over a tasting at Good Bites. Thank you Dawn for organising the session and Tracy for gathering us all.

Good Bites is the latest F&B brand under Citrus By The Pool, a café in Bishan Sports Centre offering healthy bowls. Located in the central part of Singapore but away from the busy streets make it a great place to relax in with friends and loved ones. A family-friendly place with baby chair available. The café seats up to 60 pax and is available for private events that can accommodate up to 80 pax.

We visited the café in the evening and as the Sun goes down, the outdoor fairy lights make the external look exceptionally beautiful and dreamy.

Good Bites offers a variety of Western Asian fusion food and beverages with an interesting menu.

We started off by ordering some refreshing coolers.
Tracy had the Iced Lychee Tea while Jessie had the Iced Minty Green Tea with Honey.

Shu Qing and I went for their 600ml thick and creamy Mighty Milkshakes instead. Among the 6 choices in the menu with prices starting from S$8.90, Shu Qing had the Cookie Crush while I had the Strawberry Gem. I love how they topped it with old-school favourite gem biscuits.

HEALTHY BOWLS

With the belief that food can be made healthy and delicious, the café focuses on homemade recipes and preparation methods that retain and maximise the taste and nutritional value of the food. Customers can create healthy bowl based on their nutrition goals and preferences. With 3 portion sizes to choose from - Nom Nom, Munch or Chomp, they can build a bowl from the selection of bases, proteins, supplements, toppings and dressings.

For greater taste and value, one can dig into Good Bites’ Signature Bowls.

Baked Smoked Salmon Bowl (Smoked Salmon, soba noodles, cherry tomatoes, broccoli, cucumber, onsen egg, white sesame seeds) has a great mix of all the goodness in one bowl.

Herb & Citrus Roasted Chicken Bowl (Herb & Citrus Roasted Chicken, brown rice, grilled cherry tomatoes, sautéed mushrooms, broccoli, hard-boiled egg and multi-grain tortilla chips) is delicious and appetising.

Pineapple Prawn Salsa Bowl (Pineapple Salsa Prawns, romaine lettuce, avocado, cherry tomatoes, sautéed mushrooms, croutons, lemon wedge) is refreshing but I personally find the onions in it was a tad too strong for my liking.

There are three kinds of dressing; namely Tartar sauce, Sesame Soy sauce, and Paprika Yoghurt dressing.

Apart from healthy bowls, they also serve other dishes such as Pasta and Burgers. Dawn told us that their Laksa Pasta is currently one of their customers' favourite dish. We tried and we love it too! It is a dry Laksa linguine with Shrimps, hard-boiled egg, fish cakes, and crunchy Taupok cubes. Great taste and texture, not too dry nor too spicy. Dry Laksa Pasta is not easy to find in Singapore and I am glad that they have it here.

Tom Yum Seafood Pasta is one of the chef's recommendations on the menu, suitable for people who like Seafood and spicy food. The taste is addictive yet very spicy.

One very interesting dish here is the Fried Chicken & Waffle with Butter and Maple Syrup. The fried chicken chunks were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The fried chicken chunks also marries well with the Maple Syrup and Waffles.

Egg-ploding Burger looks simple but is actually very delicious too. Tender Fried Chicken thigh with Egg Nachos Mayo sauce in between two soft buns. Served with Cajun fries.

The night ended well with desserts. We had the Homemade Apple Crumble and the Molten Chocolate Lava Cake, each comes with a scoop of ice-cream.

Thank you Dawn for the below pictures!! :)
