P. Bistro special Duck Leg Stew – lightly braised French duck leg with seasonal vegetables, tomato and herbs. Essentially a posh duck bathing in an Asian onsen. The duck leg was nicely tender and steaming hot as your knife cleaves through, and it lounges in a comforting, salty Asian-style broth…
Curry fish head from Lau Hock Guan Kee Bak Kut Teh & Curry Fish Head. The fish is uber fresh, tender and moist, with generous servings of vegetables swimming in the thick and sharply tangy assam curry. Very reliable, and one of my two go-to places for curry fish head. 4.4/5…
