Kelly Jie Seafood Restaurant

Coconut Pudding with theatrics that aptly put us on cloud 9

This restaurant has been around for years, it was formerly known as TPY Mellben. For a seafood restaurant, their price is reasonable. We paid about S$40 each pax; without having alcohol. 

Kelly Jie is famous for the crab dishes. Instead of the usual crab curry, we ordered the crab beehoon this round. The crab beehoon's milky broth was flavorful. The prawn paste chicken wings were juicy. The boneless 排骨王 and venison were very tender and the coconut pudding flew us to cloud 9!

I am thankful that we sat outdoor to enjoy dining under the stars, cool evening breeze and music from the singing basker nearby. My family and I had a wonderful bonding feasting outdoor for the first time in 2 years since Covid. Looking forward to more family dining time here!

Mooncake & Tea Pairing

It is our tradition to give mooncakes to our clients and elderlies to show appreciation during Mid-Autumn Festival. Every year, my family and I are spoilt with varieties of mooncakes. As mooncakes are heartily heavy, we love to brew a pot of fine tea to balance the load, aid digestion and enhance the experience.

Below is Classic list Formulas for Matching Mooncakes with Tea:

Green Tea – Any sweet (i.e., lotus paste or yam mooncakes)

Pu'er – Savory (i.e., salted egg york mooncakes)

English Tea – Sweet (i.e., fusion sweet mooncakes)

Oolong Tea – Savory or nutty (5 nuts mooncakes) My family and I loves the Nanyang Tea series.

Cold Brew Carbonated Tea  – Cold Desserts (Snow skin mooncakes)

How to Deal with Nasty Client?

Having heard many bad customer experience from my peers and having met a few ridiculous clients myself; I decided to write this video script. I paid an animator to do this video to create awareness about the bad behaviors of some terrible clients.  

Have you met nasty clients like this? How did you react?

Every business have bills and employees to pay. If companies are squeezed dry, it will collapse! Livelihood of the staffs and their families will be affected. In tough times like pandemic, be kind. Support businesses by ensuring they have enough to survive.

As a boss or leader, protect your employees by saying no to unjustified rude demands of bad customers. By doing so, you gain respect from both the staffs and clients.
