Custard & Peanut Bun Smile Feb 12, 2012   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Dim Sum | Noodles

 
I dine at Mayim regularly and the manager had actually recommended me the baked custard and peanut sauce bun today. I've never tried it before and it seems like this is one of the items on the "customers' favourite" menu.

It was served freshly out of the oven and had a nice peanut smell to it. The outer layer of the baked bun is very thin and crispy. I loved the peanut sauce on the top layer. The crust is very soft and powdery. While it looked like it'd be very dry b/c of the peanut, it was actually relatively moist. The inner layer of the bun is baked custard which was very sweet.

Overall, I really liked it and would be having it again soon. The minimum order for this baked bun is 2 pieces and each piece costs only $1.40. Its pretty big and filling so it'd be a good idea to share one order with someone else.

Taste: The sauce is indeed special. It carries a slight taste of the vegetable (i'm still not sure what it was) underneath the chicken. It tastes slightly sour and sweet. The sauce goes well with the chicken which was very nicely roasted. The skin of the chicken was crispy and the meat was extremely soft and moist. The whole dish was perfect.

Environment: Mayim has been constantly changing their arrangements and stuff to make it more comfortable for diners. Since i was there after lunch hours, it was less crowded and quieter for an intimate meal.

Customer service: The only bad thing about Mayim is most staffs are unable to communicate in english fluently. Being weak at mandarin, it definitely is hard for me to ask for something i want while dining there. Also, the staffs will not take initiative for anything. From taking orders to refilling water. The good food does make up for the poor service though.

Price: Although at first sight it may seem like its a small portion, it is actually filling even for 2 people at only $7.80. Not only was it filling, it was delicious. Additionally, it is actually pretty cheap. Other chinese restaurants would probably charge a higher price. Personally, i felt that it was worth every cent. I won't mind having it again.

Smart aleck Smile Sep 27, 2011

The bread is called smart alec..not sure why, but the unique name makes it really easy for me to remember its name. Anyway, its a pretty long bread (probably 20cm or so) with custard cream topped off with powdered icing. Its perfect for custard lovers but when the bread is soft..it makes it pretty hard to eat it neatly. Do give it a try.

My favourite Xiao Long Bao!  Smile Aug 27, 2011   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Dim Sum | Noodles

 
I absolutely love xiao long bao and will try new xiao long bao readily from restaurants or food courts etc. Out of so many xiao long bao I've tried in Singapore, this is my favourite and probably the most reasonably priced xiao long bao (lets be honest. who's really willing to pay $1 per xiao long bao?). Mayim sells 3 xiao long bao at $2.20.

The xiao long bao is filled with lots of soup and I can't tell you just how many times the soup just splashed or squirt out of the xiao long bao. The soup has a thick taste and although I love the taste, my family finds it a little too salty some times.

The pork isn't like the kind of fine pork that Din Tai Fong or Crystal Jade offers but it is not dry! The skin of the xiao long boa is relatively thin except for the top part but it has become thinner over the years (I've been patronising this restaurant for years) and I'm happy about the change.

I recommended the restaurant to many of my friends and my family and now we visit the restaurant weekly. (We do not live near West Mall. It is that good that we'll travel to there just for a meal) This is the ultimate place for affordable and delicious xiao long bao. Do give it a try!

Chicken Katsu Toji Smile Aug 24, 2011   (Related Review)

Categories : Japanese | Restaurant | Sushi/Sashimi

 
Out of all the Ichiban Sushi's chicken main dishes, this is my favourite. It is a chicken cutlet with scramble egg. This dish isn't offered in any of set meals that Ichiban Sushi has to offer so if you want additional items like rice, miso soup, chawanmushi etc, you'll have to "add-on" and it'll cost around the same as a set meal.

I normally share the cutlet with a friend or my mother because the cutlet is relatively big. I'll add-on a bowl of rice to go with it. The cutlet is like any other tender and juicy chicken cutlet you can find out there. What makes it different is the sauce and scramble egg. The sauce is sweet and it is perfect with the cutlet. Ichiban Sushi is usually very generous with all of the stuff the serve so don't worry about the sauce running out! It is more than enough for me smile

The main reason why I love this dish is the scramble egg. I prefer eggs that are not overcooked/fully cooked so when I saw that the scramble egg is more of the watery and not-so-cooked kind, I was thrilled. The egg sticks to the cutlet and together with the sauce, its just delicious.

The overall taste of the dish is just refreshing. Its easy to get sick of eating one piece of plain chicken cutlet. Ichiban Sushi's unique combination of ingredients with regular chicken cutlet never fail to satisfy my cravings. The cutlet costs only $10.90. Like always, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone, for any occasion. Great food, great service, value for money!

FYI, there's normally a long queue during dinner time and you may have to wait up to 40 minutes so you'll probably want to go early. It is thatpopular smile
