Daddy’s Birthday Dinner @ Boon Lay Raja Restaurant

Posted on Saturday, Aug 30 at 12:10 pm

On Tuesday (26 Aug 08), my family and I went to Boon Lay Raja Restaurant for celebrate Daddy’s birthday. Hey, dont get mixed up. Though the name of the restaurant says “Boon Lay”, but it is not located at Boon Lay. A stone’s throw away from Jurong East MRT is Boon Lay Raja Restaurant Pte Ltd (Seafood & Shark’s Fin Restaurant) 文苑楼, a place where it offers chinese cuisine. It is located at Blk 135 Jurong East St 13 #02-337 (opp Jurong East MRT), beside Jurong East Entertainment Centre.

Before the food was served, we had peanuts to sustain our hunger. Our first dish was served - Mango Roasted Duck.

Mango Roasted Duck
The previous time I came here to eat the Roasted Duck, the skin was very crispy. It tasted like Beiking Roasted Chicken. But it was a disappointment this time round. It tasted no difference like the normal duck rice we can get outside.

Scallop with Asparagus and Celery
This small plate of scallops costs $18 and scallops were stingily given. I can count using one hand, 3 fingers. In this dish, there are little octopus heavily flavoured with sweet and spicy sauce. Food was ok, but pricey.

I only managed to take photos of 2 dishes out of the 5. Besides Mango Roasted Duck and Scallop with Asparagus and Celery, we had Fried Ee Noodles, Shark Fin’s Soup and Chili Crab.

Service @ Boon Lay Raja Restaurant
The waiters and waitress were really nice and helped us distribute the food to the small bowls and plates, and often come to our table to check if we need any help. To my amazement, Boon Lay Raja Restaurant does not charge for service charge, but yet they gave us very good service. *applause for the spirit of the staff*
