I never thought much about this place which was known for its healthy rice bowls, as I felt it was overpriced Economy Rice (Cai Png 菜饭), until recently I saw a 3-course meal offered by Chop. At $25, the meal includes a starter, a choice of main and a dessert, which I felt was value for money.

Ebisu (ala carte $18)Pan-seared Hokkaido Scallops, Mussels, Miso Butter Cream and Toast
It was served pipping hot. The seafood was covered in a sea of rich creamy flavourful gravy, which I wished for more.
From the 4 choices of main, I selected
Tsukiji (ala carte $16)Tuna tataki, asparagus & edamame, onsen egg, pickled cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, furikake
I selected Orzo as my choice of base. There were other choices such as Ninja Rice and Garden Greens. The orzo ( a form of short-cut pasta, shaped like a large grain of rice) was topped with a savoury gravy and quite tasty on its own. The onsen egg added a rich creamy layer to the orzo. The asparagus was soft and crunchy. The pickled cucumbers was tangy and crunchy, while the tuna was smooth and fresh.
Fancy French (ala carte $16)Fig jam french toast drizzled in ume-boshi infused honey, fresh grapes, plums, homemade hazelnut butter.
This dish had a 20 minute wait. It looked quite pretty. The fruits was fresh and juicy, the toast sliced easily although I wished that it could be crispier.
Accompanied with Coconut Lemon Mint ($8)Fresh coconut juice, lemond wedges, mint leaves
It was basically fresh coconut juice, filling with thick coconut flesh. Refreshing, although a bit cheated by the fanciful name.
Overall the food was delicious. Best come early as the place get crowded easily, and could get quite noisy after that.
