really good heng hwa food Smile Jun 14, 2013

I really rather like the Putien chain – the flavours are light but intense, and while service can get rather hectic when full-house, it’s efficient and earnest when you do get it. highly reliable, consistently delicious, and a large enough menu to return frequently (though we do have our favourites, of course).

We started with jellyfish – decent, though I’ve had better. the better starter was their fried century egg: wedges fried up in a crispy batter and tossed in a sweet-sour sauce; this was delicious. it always makes me laugh when americans use these delicious things as fear-factor type challenges.

The salt and pepper clams are addictive, and the beancurd with kailan are a must order. the beancurd sheets are wrapped to a satisfying thickness – so they bite al-dente and the flavour of the soya bean comes through.

But my favourite really is their squirrel fish. Essentially a filleted fish fried to a golden-brown and topped with a sweet and sour sauce. It’s completely, and utterly delicious – the fish is fresh and moist, the batter stands up fantastically to the sauce, which is enlivened by the tiny bits of vegetables strewn atop. I have massive cravings for this fish.

The meat dishes are pretty good home-cooked too. We finished the meal with a fruit platter and syruped loquats – I’m not one for syrupy things but the latter were very interesting.

Honest cooking, good prices, decent portions and highly consistent standards even across outlets – and I have a soft spot for regional Chinese cooking (much of what we have locally is more generally Cantonese than anything else).

decent local food Smile Jun 13, 2013

this is one of a few chains in singapore upping the ante on our traditional coffeeshops: serving the same dishes at a more consistent delivery (though therefore imbuing it with more factory-type monotony) amidst the modern comforts of air-conditioning.

I'm not a huge proponent for local food - it's usually a little too heavy on the carb and grease; but I do enjoy the simpler things, like dipping toast into a half-boiled eggs darkened with soy. and while the prices here may be higher than at your neighborhood joint, there's something to be said about clean tables and surroundings, and much to be said for air-conditioning in singapore's unforgiving heat.

we ended up here after a trip to the gardens by the bay and had a filling meal: eggs and plain thick toast (the thicker, the better), nasi lemak, as well as a bowl of mee rebus. cheap, decent, filling food - arguably the best value in this extravagant mall. and a great introduction to local food, if you're so inclined.

fantastic food at hipster prices Smile Jun 12, 2013

the food was delicious, the ambience cosy – I only wished the prices were a little less on the high side.

let’s start with the obvious. obscure location, check; portlandish aspirations, check; old-school that never happened here, check. and yet, this place is endearing – the tables aren’t too cramped, there’s just the right amount of people for a pleasant hum in the air, and I have a soft spot for great design, even if it has vaunted provenance in a school of thought I don’t belong to.

to cut to the short of it – there are far too many reviews about this place – the food was fantastic. we had the lobster (of course we did), and while rather small – the flesh was sweet and succulent, dripping with delicious seafoody brine. but even better than the lobster, was the dreamy cut of bavette at medium-rare - it came pink and juicy and tender and beefy. and with silky caramelized onions, and a petite jug of complexly savoury gravy – this was truly silence-inspiring.

we finished with their rum banana pockets. this was the weakest dish – the pastry a little too thick and oily, though at least the bananas were satisfyingly soft.

we came (somewhat) for the lobster, but we’ll return for the beef. they have a real charcoal grill and the cooking truly is expert. and the place is gorgeous and intimate, pretensions aside. we had a surly indian waiter – not hipster cool but genuinely unpleasant – which marred the experience somewhat, but the other female waitresses were friendly and pleasan. come here for beef (I have hopes for their other grilled meats), then go elsewhere for dessert. but really,in all, well-deserving of the hype.

This place was a gem – expert, wholesome cooking coming out of a tiny kitchen. reasonable prices and decent portions too.

We started off with warm fluffy pide and hummus; the bread was crusty and delicious, the hummus decent.

I had a grilled chicken breast: moist and tender – at a standard I would expect from a restaurant. my friends had the adana kebab (a lamb-beef mix) and the baked rice – both of which went down easily enough.

We finished with baklava – and while it wasn’t the best I’ve had, it’s more than I expected. The pastry was sweet though not tooth-achingly so, and moistened just enough for the filo layers to still be discernible. I remember a slight floury after-texture, but nothing off-putting.

A tiny, unpretentious, but immensely likable café – and gratifyingly close to the gastronomic wasteland of my workplace. I see repeat visits in my gastronomic crystal ball.

Decent place to rest in the hipster part of Chinatown. I’m no coffee drinker, much less a connoisseur – so the judgment I pass on this place is it’s a good spot of air-conditioning on a sweltering afternoon.

I got a hazelnut latte, settled down to the appetite magazines (gotta love their photos) strewn on the table, and let the afternoon melt away.

One tall latte costs about $8+.
