Fish Galore!

The man didn't want to do too-fancy meals with the friends for his birthday. He wanted regular easy vibes and food that included Choya. The friends merrily obliged. Since we spread out our meals, I could also schedule different proteins and flavors for the birthday boy. Hurhurhur. So this round with these friends, there were loads of fish and seafood featured. 

Nude Seafood 

We didn't bother to go to Nude's new outlet at Punggol. That's wayyyy too far. I think I'll never make it there since the Marina One outlet works well for everyone and is super convenient. Tonight, we opted for this venue for a 7pm dinner with the man's parents.

However, the man had to clear a piece of work and send out a couple of emails on the laptop; the phone couldn't cut it. The food arrived while he was still on it. The grilled swordfish on pearl couscous and pumpkin velouté and egg floss came sliced, and that totally allowed him to eat with one hand. Heh. 

The parentals took the Hokkaido scallops spaghettini with zucchini, and the river king prawn claypot vermicelli. I loved my miso halibut and soba with quail eggs. The broccolini and king oyster mushrooms were a must to fulfil the greens requirements. 

I didn't come by to Nude at Marina One for a looooong time because there was a period the food was quite terrible. Either the kitchen was overloaded or the chef went away on vacation or to oversee the new outlet's set-up. I have stopped by thrice in the past month. Food seems to be decent again. I'm quite happy to come by more often then.

An Unnamed Zi Char Eatery

This place shall remain unnamed because they quietly accepted Choya. They've never said anything about her when we come in for dinner. We can't be more grateful. Went with G for a super fresh soon hock with its liver included! Wheeeeee. I usually have to ask them for the liver because they don't always include it. Many diners don't know how to eat liver. Dohhhh. We do!

It was just three of us and we didn't want to over-order. There was a pot of daily soup. When the boss lady said the name, I went huhhh because I obviously don't know it. It's arrowroot soup (粉葛湯) with pork ribs. Arrowroot and the soup boiled up is apparently 'nutritious' to help the body to combat the sizzling heat these days. I rarely use arrowroot in soups, but okay, I won't react to it. It was tasty. 

Also had Marmite pork ribs and stir-fried broccoli with scallops. We literally shared a bowl of rice among us. HAHAHAHA. Jialat. We're trying to avoid the obviously refined carbs like crazy. We were prepped for the hot weather and dining outdoors. It was a warm and humid night, but a breeze stirred through. I also brought the portable fan along, so the heat was manageable. 

Decent zi char items with lower salt levels as requested.
