Bosses!

Another belated post. This is about a really yummy lunch at Bosses cafe. The restaurant(don't let the name fool you!) overlooks the Sentosa causeway. A lovely view, and the only clue that this is Singapore is the marine equipment in the skyline.

The restaurant serves contemporary Chinese food - the new twist to traditional dishes is refreshing. Here's the table setting:

This was our “teacher’s day lunch”. It was the first time I paid for my own teacher’s day lunch, and it was not cheap either! My colleague ordered 2 set lunches for 14 people – a set for 8 persons and a set for 6. Big mistake. We could hardly finish the best dishes, and the noodle/rice dishes, we ta-pau’ed coz there was simply no more room in our stomachs left.

The dessert: liquified salted -egg in a pau. I dared not venture into this... Tea in a pot

I dunno what this is - but it's a sweet soup with veg, papaya and beancurd skin. Can't decide what to make of it - is it a starter, or a proper medium-weight dish? - but it tastes yum.

Duck carcass - the rest of the meat went into our salad.

Here's the duck salad, which I really enjoyed. It doesn't look like much, but it's super-tasty, with mango and cucumber slices. I could eat just this for a meal.

Clear vegetables....I can't decide what to call this, but it's veg - the expensive flower-kailan - boiled in clear water with nought else but some salt (I think). Served cold. The "ice-kacang" put everyone off, but I enjoyed this dish tremendously because it's so refreshing and "clean", like a fresh spring-day. Later I found out that some HK cafes serve this too.
