After shopping at Tangs, it's gratifying to know that within the mall houses a cafe serving tired and hungry souls.We ordered one of the Island's Specials for that month, Crispy Fish Noodle Soup ($16), which includes dessert (tau suan) and coffee/tea. The chef has considerately separated the fish fillet from the noodle soup to retain the crispiness of the fish. Thick vermicelli is served for this dish, along with a milky broth. However, the soup tasted bland, thus minus points for the dish. But

However, the soup tasted bland, thus minus points for the dish. But bring on fried onions and spring onions for soup toppings anytime! One plus point for the fish is that it is thinly coated with batter, so I could still taste the smooth texture of the fish.
The other main dish we ordered was Hainanese Pork Chop Rice ($14). This is the better dish of the two. Average rice and vegetables, but the dish was glorified by the crispy pork strips. I could eat many of these with the tangy tomato sauce on them!
Caesar Salad (with Lemongrass Chicken) ($12): Fresh simple salad dish comprising of hard-boiled eggs, tomatoes and lemongrass chicken on a bed of greens. Refreshing and tasty!
For such fare, the prices are set too high but can't blame them as this outlet is more catered to tourists.
