Tung Lok Signatures, The Central
Lips and I both ditched our respective halves and met up to yak and catch up over dinner. In any case, the Fiance was more than happy to trot off to the gym and work out on his own. You see, usually when I go to the gym with the Fiance, I'd be breathing down his neck to quickly finish up the workout and go off for dinner.
We decided on Chinese and headed to Tung Lok Signatures at The Central. They're well known for modernizing classic Cantonese cuisine.
We started off with grand plans of eating a really light and healthy meal, so we got the Steamed Beancurd with Conpoy and Crispy Sprout Mushrooms ($18). This was an incredibly clear and delicate dish, the clean taste of the silky soft wobbly beancurd married well with the thick gravy accented simply by the dried scallops. Broccoli florets and crispy fried golden mushrooms provided some crunch. This was a huge portion, sufficient to feed 3 persons, but we finished this. We figured we'll just order another dish and be done with dinner.
After the above feel-good choice, we caved into our decadent selves and got the Crispy Roasted Pork Belly ($10) which was worth every sinful, guilt-inducing calorie and sliver of fat. Actually, come to think of it, it really wasn't that fatty, it was a rather lean piece of meat, no obvious thick layers of fat. Crisp, aromatic crackling skin, and a lean flavoursome salty and moist meat.
Save for the parsley on the Pickled Cucumbers ($3), this would have made for a great refreshingly tangy appetizer. Lips ate this on her own.
