Mention Milk Powdered Pork Ribs to anyone and immediately Two Chefs Eating Place comes to mind. This Tze Char stall located at Commonwealth Crescent, roughly 10 min away from the Commonwealth MRT station has been around for quite some time now and crowds especially the students love the place. Reservations come highly recommended for dinner but lunch tends to be relatively less intimidating.
Opened by two chefs who are also brothers, the stall is rustic with an old school charm and is always bustling. I have been here numerous times since my JC days and the bustling scene with snaking long queues still remain after all these years. But it is not hard to understand what draws the crowds. They do serve great food with affordable pricing and it is an ideal place for large group gatherings.
As I mentioned earlier, no visit to Two Chefs is ever complete without an order of their Butter Ribs $8/$12/$16. Made from a secret recipe of butter and condensed milk, the end result is a snowy-beige dusty powder that is crumbly and sweet. Fried also with curry leaves for extra flavor, those tender juicy pork ribs had us smacking our lips and eating even the last lettuce on the plate.
The Three Egg Spinach or Three Colored Spinach or Vegetable with Egg, Century Egg and Salted Egg $8/$10/$14 as it is called here is supposed to be another must order itee. But while I did appreciate how the poached spinach had absorbed the saltiness and creaminess of the trio combination well, the broth or stock was unfortunately too watery and flat for our liking. But perhaps Chef had a bad day with ours, because every else seems to be raving about it.
The Golden Mushroom Beancurd $8/$10/$12 was an enjoyable one. Thick piquant gravy with bouncy chewy golden mushrooms and soft beancurd that simply melted in the mouth, this is best enjoyed with a bowl of rice to soak up every last bit.
These Fried Butter Prawns $15/$20/$25 tasted quite similar to the Butter Ribs. Possibly because they were after all, made from the same secret recipe powder concoction. I preferred the way the pork ribs captured and complimented the essence and sweetness of the powder though, as compared to these prawns. Will probably order the Salted Yolk Prawns instead next time round.
