Admittedly this is a very belated post, a visit made last October, but a post nonetheless! Happy New Year everybody - the holiday period was definitely enjoyable for me, being a glutton and all....hope all of yours was too!
 |
| Braised pomelo skin with shrimp roes ($80/pc) |
Really good - not to get into the whole cooking process but the soaking of the skin to remove its bitterness alone takes around 3 days... since this is something I wouldn't bother doing, this is one dish I like ordering. The shrimp roes were fragrant too and seasoning was just right.
 |
| Chilled marinated goose meat roll ($54) |
Not a big fan of beancurd skin but I liked the filling - different textures and flavours made for a delicious bite.
 |
| Choice of 2 BBQ meat: BBQ pork and roasted crispy baby pork belly ($118) |
BBQ pork (char siu) was mediocre at best, lacking both sweet and salty flavours, charred bits and wasn't quite tender enough; but that clear five-layered roasted pork belly was as glorious as last time.
 |
| Double-boiled winter melon soup with shrimps, yunnan ham, crab meat, fungus ($550/7 servings) |
In line with the end-of-summer heat, we pre-ordered this bad boy to share. Luscious winter melon meat with fresh seafood and quality ham... lovely!
 |
| Deboned Eight Treasure Duck ($500) |
This was fall-off-the-bone tender, one can easily cut through the meat with a spoon. Well-seasoned and something worth ordering in advance for.
 |
| Barley, chesnuts, green beans, lotus seeds, gingko nuts, egg yolk and various offal including liver. |
 |
| Two barbeque selection ($118) - BBQ pork and roasted baby pork belly |
 |
| Oven-baked chicken with preserved vegetables wrapped in lotus leaf ($450) |
This chicken was one of the better Chinese-style chicken dishes I've had. Very tender chicken with basically no fat between the skin and meat, and full-on flavours coming from the bird itself and saltiness from the preserved vegetables. I'll be ordering this again.
Tim's Kitchen deserves its popularity. I have yet to try the taro puff with sliced duck and the fried glutinous rice, and will definitely be back for those!
