Golden Bull and a photograph

Tonight we went to dinner at Golden Bull in Harbor City. It is a mini family reunion with my aunt J plus her side of the family. My aunt J usually does all the food ordering since she is like the biggest foodie in the family and we trust her taste in food.

It is a fusion Asian restaurant with mixed of Chinese and Vietnamese cuisine. I was surprise that they do not have the typical spring rolls with the semi transparent wrap, but they have fried egg rolls.
My aunt J ordered the fried egg rolls and chicken and beef satay to start. The fried egg rolls are typical and the taste was so so. I thought the chicken and beef satay were excellent. They are soft and the dipping sauce was great with enough peanuts for taste and a bit of spicy to add the kick yet not overwhelming to make me drink more water or tea.

And now do not squirm for deep fried frog legs in butter! This dish is the best dish and the chicken was good too. Even my hubby ate a whole frog leg and he usually will not go for it at all. I am really proud of him for trying new food. We also had noodle with French beef cubes. The beef was very peppery, but tender.

The only disappointment I had was the lobster. The meat was not fresh and the taste was bland.

And the dessert was good. We ordered green jello made of typical gelatin and coconut milk in between each layers.

Overall the food is enjoyable.

Golden cow signage ... I like this simple decor.


Actual name in Chinese.



Yummy satay!



Fried frog legs in butter ... those are so good.


I would skip this lobster dish if I ever go back again.

And talking about family. My aunt J acquired a very old photograph of my great grand father. My grandmother's father from my dad side. He was born in 1882. The original photograph was old and worn and she had the photo retouched.
