Noisy disappointing dinner
2023-01-08 36 瀏覽
With the White House name and house set up we were truly expecting a cosy meal. Instead it was like being in a zoo, where people talked loud and kids screamed. For the price point one would not expect such a dining environment. The food was good (other than capitan chicken which seemed not to be fresh). While we had made a 8pm reservation, we were asked to leave the place at 9.30pm! On a Saturday evening… my friends and I would not set foot again in such a setup unless the environment is more qu

For lunch, there was a total of 18 items on the menu, with of those 3 desserts. It looked limited, but it was more than enough to enough up the appetites for the 3 of us. Surprisingly on a Sunday lunch time, the place was pretty empty. It could because it was raining heavily outside with the place not sheltered to the nearest bus stop or MRT station. Besides us, there was only 2 other occupied tables. So it was pretty easy to get the attentions of the staffs around.

Lok Bak 卤肉
Deep-fried beancurd, yam, ngoh hiang & fish cake
Served with sweet sauce and chilli sauce. The five spice roll was meaty and quite flavourful on its own. The yam roll was quite unique, as it was coated with a thin crispy batter, while soft inside.

Jiu Hu Eng Chye 鱿鱼蕹菜
Blanched cuttlefish with water spinach and shrimp paste
One like that young water spinach ( also commonly known as kang kong) was used in this dish which made it easy to chew. The cuttlefish was tender and well flavour without overwhelming. The paste coating the cuttle fish was not spicy, which made it easy for the little ones to enjoy this dish too.

Ice Cream Bread 冰淇淋夹面包
Local ice cream flavour of the day, served with bread
The ice cream was raspberry. It was served with rainbow coloured bread, making it felt very old school.

Overall most of the dishes were great. Like that most the dishes were not overwhelming or too spicy, which allowed one to add the spicy chilli paste to one's level.

 INDOCAFE is situated on a raised ground and you have to climb up a few steps through the stair of red carpet. Be welcome by the Peranakan flooring at its alfresco dining and rich culture before you entered into the restaurant.

 The dishes were all served at a go and not according to any sequence as stated in the menu. However, the waiter that served us did mention every dish's name as he placed our sharing portion on the table.

"Bok Nee" when translated from Teochew means black fungus. The salad was served cold and rather spicy to me. Salad consisted of Wild "Wood Ear" black fungus with Sambal dressing. Red onions as well as chilli padi can be seen among the cold salad, it really gave our tongue a very good heaty kick for a start.

 Ingredients like shredded turnips, prawns, mushroom and even fresh crab meats was given. In fact, I would say that they are more than sufficient for the 4 cups. How generous! Before serving the kueh Pie Tee, do remember adding the garlic chilli on your cup, it does really make a big difference!

 Don't miss out another staple by the Peranakan's. This homemade 5 spiced pork meat was rolled and wrapped in soy bean curd skin then deep fried. Sweet sauce and sesame seeds were added when served. Color was dark brown which was close to a burnt color, however be rest assured that the meat was moist and overall the bite was crispy bite at exterior and was soft in its fillings.

 The fattier it is, the more authentic it becomes. Forget about the lean pork you have outside for Babi Pongteh, try this and enjoy the absolute softness from the braised pork belly in fragrant soya bean paste and aromatic spices. The dish was served with potatoes but just too bad that they tasted quite plain, nevertheless they still made a good pairing in making the gravy thicker, looking more scrumptious.

 Quality beef cheek slow-cooked to perfect softness, easy on the jaws. All was good but the miss was that the Rendang was not strong enough even though the Wagyu was prepared in INDOCAFE's special blend of spices.

 Kari Ikan was rated the best dish among the rest. The cod fish fillet was fried and even though it is served in authentic Nyonya gravy, the meat still holds on together and would not tear apart easily. Therefore, retaining the texture as it was supposed to be.

 Chap Chye has a stronger fermented bean curd taste than the usual ones I had elsewhere. The excellent find here is the prawns and pig skin with the standard braised mixed vegetables. As usual the gravy goes well with the refillable plain white rice.

 Looking at my plate of desserts, I was kind of disappointed as they looked boring to me. In fact, I make a glance over the next table and they had the rainbow lapis which I wold prefer more. Since this portion is individual , it would be good they can served differently for the assorted kuehs for each person.

 The Peranakan fare we had was above average but it did not have the impressive factor that will imprint a good memory. As far as the restaurant week menu is concern, it will be good to see more selection of Nyonya dishes available like Ayam Buah Keluak, Bakwan Kepiting etc.

     Tonight the four of us were having the restaurant week dinner at this restaurant. Menu was Peranakan communal style at $38++ per person. We arrived 7.15pm at the restaurant, and was told that food was still not ready as our reservation was 8pm. In the end we were being served dinner at 7.40pm.

     Lastly we have assorted kueh for dessert. The Rainbow Lapis was too firm and lacking of the usual chewy texture. The Ubi Kayu was smooth and not too sweet. One of us like the Pandan Lapis very much, although I felt it was similar to the Rainbow Lapis.

     Overall the food was delicious, except that the dishes were mostly served warm and not hot. As the dishes were heavily flavoured, one will also tend to drink a lot of water to wash down the meal. As the meal was communal style, everything was served all at once, from the appetizers, to the main courses, to the dessert. With no waiting between dishes, the meal was done with within an hour.

    Total bill for 4 persons is $203.65. Overall the food is not bad and reminds us of homemade cooked food. The place is a bit unstaffed with only 2 staffs serving the food.
