Bintan Kelong Restaurant

Went on a trip recently to Bintan for two nights with the family and we once again visited Nirwana's Kelong Restaurant. 

Popular for the sunset (and food too), we chose to start dinner early at 5.30pm local time. 

With the companion of seafood consisting of crabs, prawns and squids to admire the setting sun we spent approximately S$40 per person. 

Momma Kong delivery for a Sunday evening ....

Not the best picture to post but I have to say that Momma Kong's food was pretty good. 

For a set which cost approximately S$180 for a party of 4, it can be too much to handle. 

The highlight of the meal were the three crabs - Butter, Pepper and Bee Hoon soup. (not forgetting the surprisingly good mantou)

At the end of the next week, I recommended it to another group of friends and they too had the thumbs up for Momma Kong.

Erdinger BBQ Prawns

Decided to try a new method of preparing prawns for BBQ and we decided to pour half a bottle of Erdinger into half cooked prawns. 

Surely a good try at creating something new as the finished product ended up quickly in the stomachs of guests and what was best - the hot Erdinger made sweet from the fresh tiger prawns. 

Da Luca Restaurant

It is funny how I chanced upon this restaurant. No intentions to have Italian but dear son who shares the same name of the restaurant instructed me to park the car and enter the restaurant.

At the age of 4, he seems to know how to give his dad commands.

Well, I didn't mind Italian and so I was game for it and decided to give it a try.

Interestingly, the service and food was pretty good.

We ordered 2 set lunches of sea bass, a mushroom and ham pizza and my favourite lasagna.

The lasagna was very well layered and piping hot. Too bad the boy wasn't a fan of such pasta and preferred to keep to his pizza.

Pizza was thin crusted and was quite a big portion so there surely was excess slices to be shared amongst 3 adults.

I struggled to finish my lasagna and ended up with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
