Buko Nero and Uncle Leong's

Hehe.. Decided to give myself a treat after a tiring first term in school capped off with organising a level camp! Gosh! and boy did i do it in style.. On thursday night I went to Buko Nero with church pals and then Uncle Leong's on friday with Jamin (Rachel was sick)..





The meal at Buko Nero was one month in waiting..( we had to make reservations one month in advance).. And the chef doesnt allow us to take the food nor the kitchen.. Oh well.. so we just took a shot of ourselves..

We had..

  1. Chef's complimentry dish..(Some beancurd dish)
  2. Porcini Mushroom soup with white truffle Oil (Unbelievably smooth with woody kind of aroma)
  3. Famous Tau-Kwa Tower (Nice.. but i guess overpriced at $17.50)
  4. In between starters and mains they serve a strawberry and mint sherbert to cleanse our mouths to prepare for the mains..Read: Real fine dining
  5. I had the twice-cooked yorkshire porked chop with honey glazed and miso (Portion was huge and worth it)
  6. Orange custard tart (Tangy taste and light on the palate)

Conclusion: Worth the wait and the price.. BUT this kinda place is only due a visit annually unless you have the patience and the pockets as deep as the fed reserves..(actually fed reserves losing money coz of sub-prime..haha)

Uncle Leong's Seafood Zi-Char (With Jamin)


The Guinness pork ribs.. gosh it tastes so different from the normal pork ribs at zi-char..Has more charred parts..reminiscent of what they serve at tony-roma's..

The Star of the show! :Chilli crab with lotsa roe and egg in the chilli gravy...

After two satisfying makan sessions.. School's gonna start on monday.. But before that.. i have NTU x-physique RACE tomorrow! Gotta sleep now.. Catch the next post on the race..
