[meal gathering] Bee Cheng Hiang Grillery + Platform 1094
Happy weekend!
An alert to all Bak Kwa lovers, your dream has come true if you relish and enjoy the yummy jerky meat by Bee Cheng Hiang! I was introduced by Meryl to the Bee Cheng Hiang Grillery. It is located at Serangoon Road where diners can sit-in to enjoy fusion cuisine incorporated with their famous Bak Kwa.
I met up with my favorite people for a meal gathering at Bee Cheng Hiang Grillery!
Bak Kwa goes great with
anything! I used to eat them with plain porridge or make Bak Kwa
sandwiches. During our visit to the Grillery, we had Bak Kwa Pasta and Bak
Kwa Pizza.
I really loved the Crispy Fried Enoki Mushrooms in the Truffled Mushroom Salad. This dish uses three types of mushrooms - button mushrooms, king oyster mushrooms and shimeiji mushrooms together with the Sliced Beef Bak Kwa and it was incredibly delicious.
There was also a sous vide egg in the salad which enhanced the taste and the
presence of the dish! A plateful of lettuce is served on the side for the salad
to be eaten as a wrap.
We also ordered DIY
Sliders, and chose Golden Coin (pork) Bak Kwa. Sides include caramelized
onions, quail eggs and house-made sambal mayonnaise. The deconstructed sliders
allowed us to have fun customizing our own Bak Kwa Sliders.
We
combined the ingredients together, and the sweetness from the Bak Kwa paired well
with caramelized onions, and the fiery sambal mayo gave an intense aroma to the
sliders!
The damage was pretty affordable after deduction of the complimentary dining discount vouchers from Bee Cheng Hiang Grillery!
Our meet-up date continued, and we visited
the Platform 1094 - Harry Potter Café! We were excited to discover the
magical world of Harry Potter and his adventures.
The Platform 1094 is a Harry
Potter-themed café and it is inspired by the famous Platform 9 3/4 from
the Harry Potter series. It is also the first wizard themed café in
Singapore.
Upon entering the premises, I
felt that I was at Hogwarts, as the interior featured brick walls, wood-panelled
ceilings, and soft chandelier light fixtures that were reminiscent of the castle.
It is located at a corner of
Serangoon Road, and the cafe was was actually in plain sight. The chairs are
upholstered with a deer print and I love the tissue boxes which look like old
leather-bound books.
The Butterscotch Ale was thick
and creamy in texture and slightly fizzy during consumption. To me, it looked like
cake batter but it was a must try as stated under the menu.
The unique potion-like drinks created effects when mixed, akin to casting a real magical spell! It was so interesting…
Thanks so much for making time
for this gathering, and we had a wonderful time exploring new eatery places in Singapore!
