Spring Garden, Tropicana Golf and Country Club

Spring Garden is part of the Tai Thong Group - so don't expect anything less than good service and good food complimented with a very expensive pricing. Their interior was of typical oriental design with a super freezing aircond. The waiters and waitresses were well trained to serve you at any time and cost. The captain server was well in their game as they make small chats with guests to ensure that they are happy with the food and services.

The crowds made up mainly of family, rich kids and rich datos with their body guards. Yes, you are able to witness first hand big shot Datos dining around.


Peanuts - typical chinese starters.


Watermelon juice that was decently made which wasn't too sweet, exactly to my liking.




This deep fried fish paste was as good as it looks - it was fish paste mixed with minced spring onions and other condiments. Dipped in a sweet sour chili based for an extra oomph!


I am not a fan of seacucumber, so dad just ordered one portion for himself. I didn't bother trying since I'm not a fan of it.


Chinese stir fried assorted vegetables which was a mix of celery, sweet pea, lotus, onions, carrots, fungus, mushroom and gingko. They were pretty generous in terms of the lotus because I guess that's one of the cheapest ingredients in that whole plate! As good as it taste, I didn't really fancy the sweet and thick layer of oil that you can see. Alot of oil and starch must have went into this dish!


This cod fish was pan fried to perfection and the sauce was totally a big hit. It's Thai sauce - a sweet sour and a tinge of spiciness when you have a taste of it. I love how the onions and cucumbers mix so well with the sauces, topped with the smooth texture of the cod fish.


This is the scallop wrapped in minced meat dish - a small amount of scallops wrapped with chicken meat and deep fried to juicy perfection. However, I couldn't really taste the scallops at all, they must be really stiingy with it. The chicken meat was juicy and well seasoned. The dish itself was rich in taste which I presumed quite a fair bit of sugar was added, plus to get the glossy thick gravy requires quite a bit of starch! 


I don't usually take venison, but venison meat is one of the best. Venison is actually deer meat for those who doesn't know. This was their signature venison dish - venison in ginger and spring onion. It was well marinated and seasoned. Venison meat is generally slightly tougher and chewy compared to your average chicken, but it taste oh so good! 


Typical chinese stir fried KaiLan that is so delicious with a hell lot of starch and some sugar, the vegetable was actually sweet!


Bro ordered the chinese fried rice with salted fish. Chinese fried rice ALWAYS tasted good, if not wonderfully delicious. But the amount of oil they add will be crazy. The fried rice was decent but not my favorite because of their oiliness. 


This dessert is so pretty and I love how they used Martini glasses for it. It's Chinese black herbal jelly with a dose of sugar and longan. In terms of portion, it is pretty stingy for the price we paid.




I had the double boiled soya milk with fungus and gingko. I love soya milk and the good thing about this? It was thick and rich, unlike cheap soya bean that is dilute and overloaded with sugar. This wasn't too sweet, it was actually a little less sweeter than usual which is fine with me. The fungus and gingko, just an added bonus for some health benefit!

Overall, this place has good Chinese food, but the price is seriously expensive!
