Grilled squid and batter grilled shrimp@ Saizeriya

Felt like going to Saizeriya and was glad I went because there was new items on the menu.

Tried the grilled squid and batter grilled shrimps which was not previously on the menu.
Also ordered the black pepper sauce and chicken combo.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Grilled squid
It looked nearly the same as the product shot, however I was worried it might not have been cooked thoroughly as the squid was huge and thick,
Anyway, the middle was not cooked long enough but edible.
The sauce for the squid was really nice, it was similar to satay sauce but with more savory tones in it.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Batter grilled shrimps
The shrimps were huge, they were the same length as the table spoon.
The coating for the shrimp was quite thick too, the sauce that came with it was the prawn cocktail sauce that is served with the prawn cocktail and fried chicken pieces.
The coating was sligthly burnt and dark if you compare it to the product shot.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Black pepper sauce and chicken combo
This was a platter of fried chicken pieces, chicken wings and grilled chicken thigh with black pepper sauce which is quite good because you can sample all those items.

Marinated pork knuckle and spicy chicken @ Golden Chicken

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Marinated pork knuckle:
I wanted to order this on my last visit, but it did not look appetizing when I saw the freshly marinated pork knuckles in the metal pan.
I did not know that the pork knuckle would be conveniently sliced and topped with delicious gravy.
Anyway, the pork was soft and the pork skin was lovely and gelatinous and matched perfectly with the gravy.
The sauce was nice and savoury and not sweet which was good.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Spicy chicken:
I really loved this chicken as well because the spicy sauce was amazing, the whole dish tastes exactly like szechuan chicken (hau sui gaai)but it is not as spicy as that.
As well as boned chicken I found out you could request for skinned chicken so next time I will request for skinned chicken!

Super Super Cold Air Conditioning @ 譽居

Overall the food here is over priced and you need to pay a 10% service charge as well as a tea charge per person.
The air conditioning was too cold that it gives you headaches!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Red bean curd pork knuckles with rice
Very bland.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Dried shrimps and spring onion rice rolls
Overall these were ok, but not smooth enough.
They were not too oily.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Congee wtih crab
The congee was appauling and there was so many pieces of tiny crab shells in it.
The odd crab shell here and there is expected but not in every mouthful!
I have had crab congee else where and it is not as bad as this and the crab was not fresh.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Interesting chopsticks
The tips of the chopsticks are frosted.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Great translation
Noodles with shrimps! I think they mean shrimp roe.
