![]() ![]() We had a very fun experience and the food was generally good. There shouldn’t be a reason why the restaurant shouldn’t thrive. We despaired that such an old school restaurant should be thus desolate and afraid that it may not sustain much longer. ![]() When we were there, the restaurant was quiet. While the taste was ok, the limpness of the prawns betrayed its staleness. The dish that didn’t fare well was the deep fried Thai style beancurd and bacon roll (pictured left). While we found it admirable that the restaurant tried to be innovative, we thought the deep fried bacon roll was tough and too strange.Īnother deep fried dish we didn’t like was salted egg-yolk prawns. Wise Guy loved the steamed garoupa because it was fresh–he likes steamed fish in general–while Chiobu thought the sauce hadn’t imbued into the dish. The appetizer, roasted suckling pig combination, was wiped out within seconds and everyone sang praises of the roasted duck. Most of the dishes were quite delicious and there were definitely more hits than misses.Īmong the hits: in general, anything roasted was excellent. We didn’t expect such a gimmicky restaurant–KTV while you eat?–to have such good food. The 9-course set includes roasted suckling pig combination, braised sharks fin with crabmeat, roasted crispy duck, steamed garoupa, deep fried Thai style beancurd and bacon roll, braised conpoy with vegetables in superior broth, fried prawns with golden strips, fried udon noodle, and–we changed the dessert to– orh ni, yam paste. There are three set menus for 10 people, and we took the most expensive set at $438++, paying about $55 per person at the end of the meal. ![]() She changed the plates on her own accord and she even asked Wise Guy if he wanted to take photos before she distributed the dish. We never once had to ask her to refill our tea. Haha, seriously, we tipped her because her service was immaculate, as good as any Michelin star restaurants. When we cajoled our personal waitress to sing with us, she said, “Wow, you guys should go join a talent contest.” We–actually Wise Guy tipped, the rest are all stingy buggers– tipped her $30 at the end of the meal. Since the RERG team is a talented bunch, and it was our friend’s birthday, we had the VIP room. The VIP room is huge! enough to accommodate a table for ten, a couch at a corner, a side table for the waitress and KTV facilities! The VIP room is tended by a personal waitress. If you’ve a talented family looking for a reunion dinner restaurant, look no further. ![]() Besides the cavernous common dining hall, catering for menus for two to ten people, you can get the VIP room with a minimum spending of $350 (the cheapest set menu for 10 is $358++, so no problem hitting the target). The worn furnishing adds to the charm of the restaurant, telling a history of a grander past. China is my baby and hopefully one day we’ll open again," Yan said.Located under a block of HDB flats, this restaurant is as Singaporean as it can be. "I think partners are very smart people and I’m sure they’re actively looking for other locations. China will no longer exist inside the mall, but Yan said he is hopeful that his restaurant may return to a different location, whether it's in San Francisco or another Bay Area city.

Decolorization serves as a protein-dehydrating reagent and a lipid solvent. The dye-mordant complex will not be removed from Gram-positive bacteria but is leached from Gram-negative cells during the alcohol or acetone (95% ethyl alcohol) in the Decolorization step. At this point, the cell types will both appear purple. In the second step of the procedure, Gram's Iodine is added to the smear as a mordant to complex with the crystal violet and forms an insoluble complex in Gram-positive cells. Initially, both Gram-positive AND Gram-negative cells are stained by the Primary Stain, the Crystal Violet. Since the best Gram-stained preparations are those made with fresh cultures (24 hours old may appear to be Gram-variable, in that some cells will appear purple, while others will appear red. Christian Gram, it separates the bacterial cells into two major groups: Gram-positive and Gram-negative, making it a critical tool in the classification and differentiation of microbes. Thanks to the Gram-stain, the most important differential stain used in Bacteriology, cell types or structures and their arrangements can be distinguished from each other on the basis of the stain that has been retained. If the primary stain is not removed or washed out during decolorization, the counterstain cannot be absorbed and the cell will retain the color of the primary stain (purple-blue). After decolorization, if the primary stain is removed, the decolorized cell will accept and assume the counterstain contrasting color (pink-red). Finally, the counterstain is applied ( Safranin), which contrasts in color to the primary stain. This is a protein-dehydrating agent and a lipid solvent. In order to establish a color contrast, this is followed by the addition of an acid/alcohol decolorizing reagent (ethyl alcohol, 95%), which may or may not remove the primary stain from the entire cell or just from some of the cell structures. This is followed by a second reagent ( Gram's Iodine), which acts as a mordant and helps the color to stick to the cell wall. The first reagent ( Crystal Violet) is the primary stain. The Gram-stain is a differential stain that requires the use of at least three chemical reagents applied sequentially to a heat-fixed smear. ![]() ![]() Microbiology History, Background, Introduction The Kirby Bauer Method and E Test for Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing ![]() Streaking Agar Plates: 4 Quadrant Streak Methodīacterial Growth Patterns and Colony Types Diseases and Isolation of the Microbes that Cause Them ![]() ![]() ![]() Better yet, we'd rather make it an affordable drugstore formula that will save us bank account–induced stress sweats.
