Nested along Sembawang Road, near Nee Soon, The Famous Kitchen is a Singapore style Chinese restaurant with live seafood.The restaurant have both inside and outside seatings. We chose to have the outside seating as the weather was great with the sky still bright in the early evening.The place was rather empty as we were there at about 5.30pm, not quite your usual dinner time yet.We ordered a plate of Salted Egg Pork Ribs ($12) and was surprised to see that it's rather different from the ones we
The restaurant have both inside and outside seatings. We chose to have the outside seating as the weather was great with the sky still bright in the early evening.The place was rather empty as we were there at about 5.30pm, not quite your usual dinner time yet.
We ordered a plate of Salted Egg Pork Ribs ($12) and was surprised to see that it's rather different from the ones we normally see in Singapore. Usually the salted egg yolk is made into a sauce, but here at The Famous Kitchen, it's more like a topping of minced Salted Egg.I do taste salted egg yolk flavour being infused into the pork ribs though, so I guess it's probably marinated before being fried as well. Quite nice & something different.
Garlic Stir Fry Kai Lan ($12)The Garlic Stir Fry Kai Lan here is quite fresh & crispy, lightly flavoured with chunks of garlic. A great palate cleanser.
We also ordered Singapore iconic dish - Chili Crab at $58 for 850grams. Rather expensive in my opinion.The Chili Crab is great, but not exceptional. The sauce leans towards the spicier type and goes great with the small fried man tous ($3 for 6). Good thing is that the crab is very fresh & juicy.
The service here is okay, there wasnt much customers around when I was there so they were pretty quick. But you can tell that the staffs here are trained to sell when they recommend you dishes and drinks, trying to get you to order more.
Most of the seafood here are marked as seasonal prices, so you should probably find out more from the staff before ordering.
