Kungfu Paradise @ Bedok Point

TGIF!! Decided to drive out to have dinner on a Friday evening after work.  Hubby wanted to drive to Wawawa at Bedok reservoir but I thought it would be good to go on a weekend whereby we can reach there earlier to catch the beautiful sunset.  In the end, we went to Bedok Point.  I think basically Bedok Point is like a Food Mall with many restaurants, right from the 1st level.  There was a especially long queue at "Chicken Hotpot" so I suppose the food is good there?  I am not too sure as I have not tried it yet.  After going from 1st level to the top level, we decided to go down to the 1st level again as we couldn't really make up our mind what to eat.  Dilemma when you have too many choices.

We decided on Kungfu Paradise.  When we reached the restaurant, a friendly staff apologized to us saying that there was no seat available and we might have to wait 20 to 25 minutes for a seat.  As we almost wanted to walk away in disaapointment, I saw three tables of guests standing up, preparing to leave.  I pointed to the staff, telling her that there was seat available.  She politely told us to wait while she would go and clear the table.  So in the end, we still got a table at Kungfu Paradise.  :)  This was my second time here actually.

I ordered the seafood hor fun.  It was quite flavoursome and the prawns were very fresh.

Hubby had noodles with egg and sausages.  

We ended our meal with this dessert which looked really colourful.

As it is my hubby's birthday month, I told him to sign up for the Paradise loyalty card which can be used in all the 7 restaurants in the Paradise Group.

Kungfu Paradise @ Bedok Point

Met up with my usual gang at the newly opened Bedok Point.  Feeling rather nostalgic when I came back to this area as I used to frequent this area when I was young.  I stayed in Bedok for about six years before moving over to Tampines when I was in Primary two.  My secondary school close friends all used to stay in Bedok too.

All these years, this group of friends will use birthdays as an excuse to meet up.  However, as we grow older, we no longer give one another prezzies or buy the birthday gal a birthday cake.  Most importantly, we make an attempt to meet up with one another to catch up and are able to maintain our friendship from secondary school till now.  Our first meet-up of the year was arranged at Bedok Point to make it convenient for everybody, especially for SL, who had just promoted to become a mommy and now staying with her parents' place in Bedok Central.

We decided to try out a new restaurant "Kungfu Paradises" which is also under the umbrella of the Paradise Group.  They offer an extensive array of menu from Chinese Zi Char to Western Steak.  It is something similar to Hong Kong Style Cafe concept as well, with items like Dim Sum/ Nissin instant noodles, peanut toast.  

LJ ordered their seafood hor fun.  The picture in the menu looked better than the actual dish, with lots of eggs.  LJ commented that it was not bad.

I ordered chicken cutlet (fried with breadcrumbs) baked rice in tomato sauce.  The fried chicken cutlet was good but too bad, it was very very salty.

The rest of them all ordered the same dish - Braised Beef Noodles which was served in a huge bowl.  Other than the big bowl, I think it doesn't really look impressive. 

Joyce's son, Enrui had a plate of pasta all by himself.  However, we realized that he only ate the spaghetti and not the chicken meat.  Going vegetarian?

Basically, Bedok Point is like a food mall, with many familiar restaurants like Sushi Tei, Mahatten Fish Market, Popeyes, Pasta Mania etc.  Gong Cha can be found here too but there was no queue when we were there. 

The Bedok Food Centre is within walking distance.  We also ta-bao the famous chwee kueh at the food centre before going back home.  I do miss the hawker food here!
