Kiwifruit infused cuisine

[ Media Invite ]

As part of Zespri‘s Kiwifruit introduction, a group of bloggers were invited to Fern & Kiwi.

Everyone knows Kiwifruit is the green hairy fruit, but Daddy was tempted to do a Haka (tongue sticking and grunting) over his Kiwifruit infused cuisine!

Daddy had a little lamb, little lamb .. (sing along)

Fern & Kiwi serves the best of New Zealand Food, Wine and Beers (quoting from their website), and Kiwifruit is our VIP today.

Think Kiwifruit, think Zespri 🙂

After learning about Zespri’s history and dietician’s tips, we could not wait to savour our delicious Salad.

Menu laden with Kiwifruit goodness 🙂

Our seafood salad appetizer. Prawn, scallop and snapper meshed with Zespri Kiwifruit.
Tangy sweetness, overall refreshing.

Daddy chose Canterbury Plans’ Charred-Grilled Lamb Cutlets for his main course. We learnt that Kiwifruit can tenderise the meat.

Love the sweet Kiwifruit essence overflowing onto our rack, and Daddy scooped up all the Kiwifruit mixture.

Dessert is Duo of Kiwi Panna Cotta accompanied with Fresh Kiwi Compote. Taste a bit like sour cream, coupled with sweet strawberry.

It was nice to catch up with friends again. Hello Kwan Family, Dawn, Ai and Grace. An honour to sit next to two Omy Blog award winners (Family and Individual category) :p

Do click on their names for their Kiwifruit experience 🙂

We end the evening with a platter of Green and Gold Kiwifruits.

Thank you Zespri for the invite, Daddy really enjoyed his evening. The kids are going to ask why they were not invited to the Kiwifruit fest haha 🙂

We will share more Kiwifruit delights over the next two weeks, meanwhile do pop by our Fanpage album for more Kiwifruit photos.

煮炒 Zhi Char at Buangkok

When it comes to dinner, our kids can have Fried rice everyday, and never get sick of it.
Daddy suspect they have inherited his gene, as Daddy can eat Char Siew rice every day too !

Anyway, our regular 煮炒 (Zhi Char) stall is in Buangkok Block 275D, just outside Buangkok MRT. It is hard to find a Zhi Char stall which suits everyone’s tastebud.

=== === === ===

Honey Sauce Pork Knuckle – $16

The braised trotter is not oily at all, we love the honey coated dish. We actually prefer the tender juicy skin more than the meat. (score 4.5/5)

Set meals are available, and we heard the crabs are famous too. Skip, as it is no fun to peel for the kids.
In our opinion, the prices are reasonable.

From the menu, the bigger photos must be the popular dishes right?

Brocoli and Scallop – $16

Normal for us, we need to choose a vegetable dish to balance our diet, so to speak.
We heard the crispy yam ring is recommended too (score 3/5).

One of the signature dish, Salted egg prawns – $16, $22, $28 (S, M, L)
Sweet and addictive but Daddy thought it can be too oily. Easy to overdose after the third prawn. (score 4/5)

However, our kids love the crunchy prawn and could never have enough.

Crispy Chicken with prawn paste – $16 (score 3/5)

Nothing special about this dish, maybe the skin is crispy which the kids love. The chicken goes well with the prawn paste, but some might find the combination too sweet.

There is only one complain from us. We happen to be allocated to a table which is exposed to sunset. It was not a memorable moment to eat and perspire at the same time.

富利海鲜 (Fu2 Li4) is at Buangkok 275D, and we will rate the overall experience as 3.5/5.
If you have 煮炒 stalls to recommend in North East area, please share with us.

Meanwhile, Daddy might need to research the Ch8 煮炒来咯 series again.
