Union Farm Eating House, Clementi

Limited Menu Dishes..

Union Farm Eating House is located very near to the Maju Camp, along Clementi Road. The place was a little ULU (remote). From the main road, we can still catch the view of this “kampong-type” restaurant.

Having passing by this place for several times, we decided to come by for dinner.





Their menu items were so limited. Example: For the fish, they only had the deep fried version that were served with gravy; for the vegetables, they didn’t even have kang kong, sweet potato leave, spinach, broccoli, etc..

Look at the below bill receipt on the items they served.


Items we ordered were:


1. Paper-wrapped chicken, Chee Pow Kai (纸包鸡) $12
The minimum order was 10 pieces for $12. The chicken pieces were too oily for us. The chicken pieces used were either from chicken drums or thighs.



2. Vegetable, Xiao Bai Cai with oyster sauce $7
The oyster sauce seemed to be poured directly from those that can be bought from the Supermarket. It was so thick and salty.


3. Bee Hoon, dry $3
The bee hoon was so bland. We could not even finish half of it.



Total bill came up to $26.60.

My Overall Verdict: -

We merely finished half of what were served to us. Perhaps the food really did not suit our taste. Therefore, don’t think we will come back here again.

Rong Guang BBQ Seafood, Ulu Pandan

Standalone Restaurant and Famous for its BBQ food...

Last night, we went Rong Guang BBQ Seafood at Ulu Pandan outlet for dinner with parents.

The restaurant has both alfresco and indoor dining area. Initially, we were seated at the opened area until it suddenly rained cats and dogs, we moved into the indoor dining area.


This is their menu with 23 items only. In fact, they have more food items which were not listed in this menu, so do remember to ask them.


We were served with some vegetable crackers as appetizer. It was crispy but slightly oily.


Our orders for the night:

1. Stir Fried Spinach with Garlic 菠菜炒大蒜 – 5/10
The vegetables were quite salty though the spinach was fresh.


2. Prawn Scroll 虾枣 – 7/10
This was commonly known as deep fried prawn roll or Chinese prawn roll. The main fillings of the prawn roll were a mixture of minced pork, prawn, water chestnut, etc. It was served with sweet sauce for dipping. Mama like it very much and commented the taste was nice. Somehow, I feel as if yam was included in the fillings too. The prawn roll was nice – not too oily nor too dry.


3. Deep Fried Baby Squids 香炒苏东仔 – 6/10
This was a bit too tough for my two elderly parents rather than crispy.


4. Rong Guang Chilli Crab 荣光炒螃蟹 – 6/10
The crab flesh was solid but the shell was much harder than most of the restaurant I went to. The chilli crab gravy was slightly sour, not spicy and not sweet enough.


5. Steamed Mantou 馒头 – 7/10
The steamed bun was soft and fluffy.


6. Sambal Sting Ray 三峇方鱼 – 7/10
The sambal was spicy and shiok.


Look at the flesh of the Sting Ray which was very fresh.


The total bill amounted to $90.52. I will try their other items next time.


Overall verdict: 6.3/10

Mellben Seafood 龙海鲜螃蟹王, Toa Payoh Lor 8

Yummy Creamy Buttery Salted Egg Solid Crab!

It has been a long time since I last had crabs at Mellben Ang Mo Kio. We decided to try the new Toa Payoh Lor 8 outlet this time.

Over the past one year, I have tried many salted egg yolk crabs from various places - Labrador Seafood at Port Road, BK Forture at Bukit Timah , Big Eater at Upper Changi and Master Crab at Sunshine Place. Mellben’s version is different from the rest. It is creamy, buttery and sprinkled with crispy oat. This reminds me of the Baked Crab with white cream sauce from Canton Wok. I still prefer it not being too creamy and buttery.

1. Creamy Buttery Salted Egg Yolk Crab 金沙蟹 – 7/10
This medium size crab costs $45.60.


The big size crab claw.


The merit point is on the fresh of the crab. It is SOLID! Look at the comb texture of the crab claw fresh below. Can you tell how solid it is? I gave it 7/10 due to the solid fresh.

2. Next is the spinach with three kinds mushroom 三菇菠菜 - 6/10

It costs $12 and is so-so only.

3. Last is the sweet corn soup 玉米羹 with crab meat which costs $10 - 6/10

It has the sweetness of a sweet corn and the crab meat is fresh too. But it must goes with vinegar to make it tastier.
