While walking around Hougang Mall, we noticed a new Chinese restaurant that was situated in between Pizza Hut and Ichiban Sushi that sells both dim sum and tze char, so we decided to give it a try.While most Chinese restaurants serve peanuts as appetisers, Fried Yam Sticks ($2.00++) are served here. It was a refreshing change from the usual peanuts we get as starters. We loved the crispy batter, which seems to be lightly salted. A pity this was served rather cold, suggesting that it was set asid
While most Chinese restaurants serve peanuts as appetisers, Fried Yam Sticks ($2.00++) are served here. It was a refreshing change from the usual peanuts we get as starters. We loved the crispy batter, which seems to be lightly salted. A pity this was served rather cold, suggesting that it was set aside for quite a while being served or it would have been an addicting savoury treat.
The Deep Fried Prawn Balls in Salted Egg Yolk ($20.00++) smelt pretty fragrant as it arrived, and while it was savoury from the salted egg yolk, the prawns felt soggy with the liquid-soaked batter which affected the quality even though they were fresh.
While we were expecting a spicy kick with the Sambal Kangkong ($8.80++), it started off tame with oyster sauce. There were small chili hidden near the bottom of the kangkong, which made it seemed a bit imbalanced in taste as it was missing of spiciness on the top, yet overwhelmingly spicy at the bottom.
Stewed Tofu in Claypot ($12.80++) contained much goodies, including yam sticks and even roasted pork. Despite being so, the stew even though adequately thick was lacking in flavour. The result was a boring and forgettable taste that was barely memorable, although still pretty decent to eat.
