Z'en Dining Revisited @ River Valley Road

I never knew our revisit would be made so soon but good news travels and food gems like these should not be swept under the carpet.

Most part of this entry will be in pictorial since the standard was obviously the same since the last visit was concluded just a fortnight ago, so I will just comment on the items that I did not try the first time round.

soft shell crab

Soft Shell Crab Maki

I suppose they do better at the aburi sushi, this was lacking in bite - perhaps the soft shell crabs were too small to be substantial.

rice roll

Rice Paper Roll with Chicken and Vegetables

Vietnamese rolls gone palatable! An interesting way to interpret these rolls and they were delicious.

thai salad

Thai Beef Salad

salad

Seafood and Glass Noodle Salad

Loved this spicy number! Slurping up the glass noodles was pain and pleasure combined - painful spicy kicks and pleasing on the palette. 

garlic fried rice

Garlic Fried Rice

Packed with enough wok hei,  I particularly loved the deef fried garlic slices that flavoured this dish tremendously without having the cloying garlic taste linger on.

eel fried rice

Eel Fried Rice

Still good but lacked the oomph of garlic fried rice.

kimchi fried rice

Pork and Kimchi Fried Rice

The least flavourful of the rest and the rice grains ended up being a tad soggy with the kimchi but still decent. 

prawn

Deep fried Minced Prawn

Admittedly nothing to shout about with this breaded fried prawn paste.

ebi

Ebi Tempura

Tempura coating could have been lighter.

squid

Grilled Squid 

The rest polished this off swiftly, must have been great.


croquette

Creamy Crab Croquette

Barely tasted the creamy crab in this, just a croquette.


chicken

Chicken Shabu Shabu

Stick with the beef, the stronger tasting one always triumphs. Don't get me wrong about their chicken, it is juicy and tender but the meat lovers always prevail. 

Meanwhile, feast your eyes on the rest of the foodporn.

table

A table set for gluttony. 

sashimi
