I was invited to a food tasting session to try out a series of Peranakan cuisine at Grand Mecure Singapore Roxy's Feast @ East Buffet Restaurant the other day!! It was quite a fresh experience for me because I've never actually tried authentic Nyonya food before.

Grand Mecure Singapore Roxy can be easily accessed because it is located right along East Coast Road. The part where Parkway Parade is located! Actually I am not too sure, because I don't really visit that area much, :XXXXX

From now to 25 May 2014, Feast@East Buffet Restaurant will be serving authentic Peranakan cuisine in celebration of the Peranakan Food Festival! If you are a Peranakan food fan, you'll be in for a treat because they have the all time favourite specialties that includes, Sambal Timun, Spicy Shredded Chicken Salad, Sambal Kacang Botol, Laksa, Mee Siam and many many more!!

Not forgetting hot varieties like Ayam Buah Keluak, Assam Pedas Tengiri, Babi Ponteh, Beef Rendang, Nyonya Chap Chye, Sambal Kang Kong, Sotong Goreng Sambal and I swear I honestly cannot list every thing here because there are simply way too many, hahahahaha! My pictures will do the talking, :3


TRADEMARK LAKSA

Unlike all the laksa you eat outside, Feast@East actually has their own special Katong laksa! It is super fragrant and has this really special thick spicy herby(I added a lot of laksa leaf) taste to it, but it isn't thick because of the coconut milk! You know how some laksa adds so much coconut milk it makes you super bloated, and has this ultra thick milky taste? At Feast@East, their laksa has this really special spiciness to it, especially when you add in the Chef's special mind blowing samba, 8D

It is literally mind blowing, because I think I added too much(one spoonful). It was super spicy hahahahahhahaha. So try the broth first before adding, you've been warn.


SPECIAL DISH: Ayam Buah Keluak


One of the few most awesome dishes! I thought it was really spicy when I first saw it. And acted really bimbo lah, because I have no idea what Peranakan food is about, ._." But when people mention Peranakan food, this dish definitely comes first to the mind! You simply can't miss it. It's my first time trying it, but when I went home to show Ryan the photos, he practically squealed, and told me more history of this dish, hahaha. Ps: He's half Peranakan too. He is actually a mixed of many different races, icantrememberallofthem.

Anyway. I really love the taste of the Ayam Buah Keluak!! Especially when you mix their special gravy with the rice, ohmygod it's heaven. Idk how to explain, but their gravy is really really special. They have this herby taste, but also taste like dark soy sauce, then again it's not salty, and maybe slight tinge of sweetness in it. And when you dip the meat with sambal belacan..... I'm sorry man, I can't go on anymore, I feel like eating this all over again like right now. HAHAHAHA

DESSERTS

If you have a sweet-tooth, fret nottttt. You can drown yourself in their exclusive Feast@East durian paste. Even people who dislike durian love it!!!! I'm not even lying!! Their durian paste is sooooooo rich and thick, I thought I was eating some real XO durian itself. But don't forget to rinse your mouth afterwards ah, because I can guarantee you, you'll end up getting so many servings of it you'll become durian. LOL

Not forgetting their traditional nyonya kuehs. Your durian cake, Ice Kacang, Custard Pudding, Bubor Chacha, Kueh Rainbow, Ondeh Ondeh, Kueh Koswee, Kueh Dadar, Bingka Ubi, Steam Tapioca, Rempah Udang, Kueh Salat, Pulut Kaya and Jemput Jemput!!! Sooooooooo many I almost died. Because I loveeeeeeee desserts, and I loveeeeee kuehs! I don't care if I'm super bloated and full from the food, there's always space for desserts, HAHAHAHAHA.
