Remember my Shanghai expedition? Our dear friend Wang Noh arranged a gathering for all 10 of us and 7 of us made it! Not bad.. 70% attendance... We went to this nice Teochew restaurant at Macpherson area for dinner! You may miss the place because the outlook of the restaurant is not eye-catching at all and the full length glass panels are all covered by curtains except for the door, half-covered.
Although, the restaurant dun have "outer-beauty" but it has "inner beauty". Here's our dinner menu..
Cold crab - "Very fresh though cold"
Fried oyster egg - "Eggy and Crispy but I dun take oysters"
Broccoli with prawns & capsicum - "I love this cos I like to take my greens! And the combi was just perfect"
Braised goose meat with beancurd - "Tasty!"
Big fat fish called "Dou chang" - "Never in my life have I seen such a big "chang-yu" placed right in front of me"..
Fried hor fun - "Indescribable, the taste is very special!"
OOoOrrHH.. Ni... - "Hoho.. ooorrhhh ni lovers must try this!"
All the dishes were great! Every dish received good comments from all of us. Had wanted to take photos of all the dishes but ended up eating before taking photos of it.. sigh.. cannot resist the food.. but managed to take a photo of one of the dishes.. the big fat fish.. this is way out of proportion as compared to the chang-yu that my mum cooks..

The ambience of this restaurant is very much like those authentic Chinese restaurants. A recommended place to bring your folks for dinner. Overall, ****..
Here's the address if you wanna try! I miss the Oooorrrhhhhh-Ni.. so will surely pop by one of these days just to buy it home for my family to try... hee...
Swa Garden Restaurant

Tel: 67445009
How to get there?
By public transport: Aljunied MRT, cross overhead bridge and take bus no. 62, once it turns right, alight after 2 stops.
By car: A stretch of parking is available along the road on the same side as the restaurant. If you are lucky, you may get to park right in front of the restaurant. So no worries.
After the sumptuous dinner, we went to sing karaoke at K-Box Kallang Leisure Park. To our surprise, we were given a super big room where the 7 of us were only able to occupy a small corner of the room. The MTVs were projected on the wall, very shiok.. but the room is way too big. Sang till late.. very enjoyable!

Look how scattered we were seated in the room?.jpg)
Can identify who's the singer and what's the name of the song?
