I thought this is a good opportunity to check out those 30licious restaurants that you had wanted to try before, or revisit your favourites at a more pocket friendly price.
At such prices, it's time for some good Singapore food adventure that won't break the bank.
I was invited to try out 4 of the 30 plus Amex 30licious restaurants.
Wan He Lou offers an impressive menu for the Amex 30licious deal.
Chef's style smoked duck.
Savoury flavour and the smoked duck breast slices were stiffened by searing. I prefer my smoked duck tender.
Signature lobster porridge 招牌龙虾粥.
Small, flavourless spiny lobsters in a buttery flavoured broth with soft discrete whole rice grains (Teochew porridge style) garnished with chopped spring onions.
Wan He Lou seafood gyoza.
Savoury sweet flavours and substantial minced fish, squid and shrimp filling. I like this.
Tangy honey pork chops.
Sweet savoury flavours and tender meat works well for me :D
I like this crunchy juicy Green Dragon Vegetable 青龙菜 with Dried Shrimp. I enjoyed the Cameron Highland green's clean tasting flavour with a touch of savouriness from lightly frying in dried shrimps and oil.
Dessert was pulut hitam (sweet black glutinous rice) topped with ice cream.

Second tasting was in A for Arbite at Aliwal Street.
Seafood soup.
Viscous seafood broth savoury with slight tangy notes from the tomatoes.
Salted Egg Crab Pasta.
Zita pasta, salted egg, crab meat, chilli, deep fried soft shell crab and curry leave oil.
Quite an interesting dish with a mix of soft textures and layers of savoriness with spicy hints.
Beef Daube.
Lean beef shin stewed with celery, carrots and red wine till just tender. Served with a stack of fried onion rings.
I fall easily for savoury and tender stewed meat.
Duck Roll.
Duck rillettes made of smoked duck breast, dried mushrooms, water chestnuts, grapes wrapped in ngong hiang crispy skin (spring roll skin made with tofu sheets) laid on chilli gastrique.
Interesting version of a French classic worth trying.
oops not sure what is the name of this dessert but I love it's jumble of crunchy and jelly textures with contrast of sweet and gentle sourness (I cringe when I encounter overly sour food but this was just nice for me).

Our third stop, The WEJS at Medici Cafe in Rochester Park was the surprise find.
This little cafe is less than 6 months old and still in the running in stage, but the unique homely Tunisian dishes impressed all of us.
Chicken and Spinach Soup.
Nice wholesome tasty grainy spinach soup with interesting poppy bits of tender white chicken meat.
I like this homely Tunisian soup.
Mechweya Salade.
Vegetable stew with grilled capsicum, olives, hard boiled egg slices and soft shredded tuna. Eaten with house made bread.
Tunisian Chicken Couscous.
A wholesome stew of chicken, couscous, potato, carrot, chickpeas and egg plant.
Chakchouka.
A mushy stew of tomatoes, capsicum, onions with a runny poached egg.
Interesting blend of savoury, tangy, sweet, very mildly spicy with eggy flavour. Eaten with house made bread.
A refreshing fruit cocktail before we hit the road for the next tasting :D

The fourth tasting was at UNA at Rochester Park.
Amuse Bouche.
We started off with a savoury tangy appetizer served in a sake glass.
Signature Seafood & Chicken Paelle.
Prawns, clams, squid and chicken on a bed of mushy simmered rice with hard crust. Slightly too salty and greasy for my liking.
Grilled Pluma Iberica Pork is the alternative main course.
Tender pork, savoury sweet flavours heavy on the salt.
UNA's 30licious set comes with a glass of red Spanish Malacapa Rioja, a likable good quality fruity house pour to wash down that savoury rich main.
The lush garden setting at UNA makes it a choice location for that romantic date :D
