Farewell lunch for Chef Stefano

in my line of work, i will say i meet a lot of Chefs and one of the nicest nicest one whom i've met must be Chef Stefano. Unfortunately, he will be leaving Singapore soon. Johnson and i met him up for lunch and where better than Violet Oon for a taste of Singapore!

We shared a kueh pie tee....

which was pretty good! a nonya food favourites.

next, another Peranakan favourite, ayam buah keluak!

their buah keluak is very nicely done with the paste easily removable from the nut. 

beef rendang...

done SO WELL! beef was really tender and rendang wasn't overly sweet, we loved it!

chap chye... 

cod fish in laksa sauce...

this cod fish was really good. crispy cod fish in the laksa sauce. we all loved it.

and of course, fish head curry which was so fragrant on other's table that we HAD TO order it!

a good lunch!
