New Ubin Seafood Sin Ming

New Ubin Seafood is a Singapore family run business offering fresh seafood and top quality meats, served in a unique array of Zi Char, Southern Indian and other Asian/Western cooking styles. The outlay of the restaurant is sort like a kampong which represents the true essence of Pulau Ubin.

New Ubin Seafood instantly became one of my favorite "zi char" places in Singapore after I went there for dinner with my dad one night. The next time my family wants a gathering (they have private rooms too), I would recommend them to go here because the food is delicious and affordable. 

Below are some of the dishes I ordered and here's my review:

Foie Gras Egg Special $9

Comments: An example of top class food (Foie Gras) mix with coffee shop style (60 min slow-cooked egg). But don't be fooled because the combination was flawless. Singaporeans are used to having soft boiled eggs for breakfast, putting soy/dark soy sauce. As a substitute for the sauce, the foie gras topped with truffle salt compliments the dish perfectly. 

Home Smoked Pork Collar ($14/S, $20/L)

Comments: This is a must try!!! Similar to the taste and texture of Char Siew, but much more delicious due to the marination. It's something I would order again and again.

Salted Egg Oyster ($15/S, $18/M, $24/L)

Comments: If you are a fan of salted egg dishes and a fan of oysters like me, this is a must try. On first try, it may taste weird, but on second bite, it makes me want to eat more. The only downside is that it can be quite filling and that you can't enjoy the other delicious food available.

Boss Bee Hoon ($8/S, $14/M, $16/L)

Comments: Why is it named Boss Bee Hoon? I reckon it's because it's the boss signature dish. Not your typical tze char bee hoon that you normally find. A tinge of sweetness and a slight spice to it, makes it something you should try. (S) are individual portions, so you can just order a small to share if you go as a couple, because I feel the hokkien mee (below) tastes nicer.

Fried Hokkien Mee Special ($12/S, $24/L)

Comments: Basically I feel anything with pork lard mostly tastes nice. But the Hokkien Mee served here is really good. The flavor is just right and the stock is delicious. Together with pork belly, baby squids, clams and prawn, my dad and I found ourselves finishing the plate of noodles in a jiffy.

Har Cheong Kai (Shrimp Paste Chicken) ($14/S, $18/M, $20/L)

Comments: I haven't tried many fried chicken wings in Singapore but the chicken wings here are delicious. Crispy with every bite and not very oily. Can order if you love fried chicken wings.

Baby Kai Lan (Boss Style) ($8/S, $12/M, $16/L)

Comment: Fresh crunchy vegetables. Don't really order Kai Lan regularly (normally go for kang kong or sweet potato leaves), I found the dish normal in taste. A bit different would be the fried shredded Kai Lan leaves with silver fish on top.

Overall Review: As it was only me and my dad eating, we didn't order anything big. Overall the food was really delicious and the next time I go back, I would like to order their crabs and steak to try. Remember to make a reservation 2-3 days before because they are normally full house during the weekends.

Roland Restaurant

This post came a bit late. Went to Roland's restaurant for dinner on Mother's Day 2013. Ordered the set menu for 10 pax at $728++. Roland Restaurant' Mdm Cher is the founder of Chilli Crab in Singapore since 1956. Currently the restaurant is run by Roland Lim with his wife, his younger brother and youngest son.

Mother's Day Deluxe Combination 

Comments: A mixture of prawn salad, ngoh hiang, longevity bun, lup cheong and 1 more which I can't remember what. A great way to start the dinner with all these food.

Braised Shark's Fin with Sea Treasures

Comments: I'm a supporter of "Stop Eating Shark's Fin" so I din taste the soup.

Steamed Live Goby 

Comments: The fish was fresh and meat was tender. Soy sauce wasn't too salty

Peking Duck in Two Styles

Comments: Basically 2 styles means either u can wrap it or u can eat it on it's own. The duck skin is crisp and the meat is tender.

Scallop in Two Styles

Comments: Scallop on a yam ring and seared scallops with broccoli. Both taste awesome. I prefer the yam ring scallop more though

Braised Abalone & Sea Cucumber with Seasonal Vegetables

Comments: Abalone and sea cucumber always come together on a bed of vegetables. Both the abalone and sea cucumber was soft and not that chewy which was nice.

Fried Bun

Comments: "Man Tou" to dip into the Chilli crab sauce. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside 

Chilli Crab

Comments: Being the originator of Chilli Crab, this is a must order when u come here. The crab is fresh and the meat is super sweet. The sauce is so nice that you just want to slurp it all up. 

Fried Vermicelli 

Comments: Actually the duck was suppose to be use to fry the fried rice. However, my dad decided to change to the fried vermicelli. It is very tasty and just right to end a 7 course meal. Taste not too salty

Suckling Pig

Comments: Additional order because my grandma loves suckling pig. It's not the best suckling pig I've eaten though. Was quite disappointed the pig came without legs as that was one of the nicer parts of the pig that I like. 

Teochew Yam Paste with Pumpkin
Comments: Not  too sweet not too sticky, it was nice.

Overall Review: After so many years, being the original founder of Chilli Crab, they still serve one of the best Chilli Crab in Singapore. Their mantou is also a must order with their chilli crab gravy. Overall food taste nice, they are also always very busy, so it's best to make a reservation.

Ma La Guo @ Bugis Village

Hi readers, just wanna intro this stall to you all. It's Ma La Tang at Bugis Village. I dunno what is the exact address but it's right at the back near Queens Street. Beside this fruit drinks stall there's this small street and the stall is hidden in there.

Comments: I really love the spiciness of the dish. It may be overwhelming spicy for some people but not for me. You can choose the dishes you want. Personally I like things like crab meat, luncheon meat and cabbage. 

But the "star" of the dish is actually the tang hoon. It is super delicious. Be careful when slurping the tang hoon, it's quite slippery so don't get choke. 

Overall review: Do go eat this if you really like spicy ma la stuff. I recommend the dry one. Order a fried wok together with a bowl of rice and it is a comfortable dinner. It's not that expensive too, around $10 for a big wok full of ingredients.

Details of the place: As above in the intro.
