A big thank you to OpenRice for inviting me to this ORTU (not sure if I get it right), but I was really looking forward to tasting some great food after reading up a few reviews about this restaurant. It has a very homely feel to it, and had me expecting some really authentic delicious Chinese food. Here's what I have to say.Love the asam smell of this dish. In terms of taste, it is a little too mild for my liking, due to my preference to strong tastes. Could do with a little more spicy and sour
Love the asam smell of this dish. In terms of taste, it is a little too mild for my liking, due to my preference to strong tastes. Could do with a little more spicy and sour. Still a nice dish as I don't really get to eat Asam Fish very often. The fish is really fresh by the way. Great restaurant policy to use only fresh ingredients!
The bee hoon has a nice presentation. All the seafood makes a great decoration. It looks like a very healthy dish, and it tastes just as healthy. Well they provided chili padis so i'm not really complaining. I like the texture of it though, everything just goes down the throat so smoothly (except for the sotong and prawn of course).
Another unique dish hardly found in Singapore. It's called the 4 heavenly kings or something, but what made it unique is the petai beans. Well just like durians and smelly tofu, it's something that you either love or hate. I'm not a big fan of vegetables, but the dish is well stir-fried. The amount of sambal is just nice, providing sufficient taste without ruining the freshness of the vegetables.
All of the OpenRicers that day agreed that this is the best dish. It's called the golden chicken cubes, but it's basically chicken stir-fried with salted egg yolks. The chicken is crispy and tender, but I really wish they could be more generous with the egg yolk! A must try dish for those who loves salted eggs.
By now, you should realize that all the dishes were unique in their own ways, either in terms of presentation or cooking methods. This is sweet and sour pork that comes in very small bite size pieces. I love the taste, which is well balanced, unlike normal ones which are usually heavily coated in batter with too much sauce.
Voted my best dish, the tofu looks scary to me at first, with all the onions and fried garlic on top. Took me a great deal of courage to bite into one and it automatically ended up rank 1. The sauce is really tasty that's for sure. Must try.
When this dish was first served, nobody had a clue as to what is it. After much speculation, we concluded that it is pork knuckle. I do not really appreciate this dish, as the taste was too strong, and it's mostly fats which I do not eat.
And finally comes the last dish of the day. It's a total representation of how unique the food can get. I have never tried such a flavor for a crab before in my entire life. It looks super appetizing, and I scooped dollops of the gravy into my bowl. It's a little too sweet for my liking though, probably due to the coconut milk. Still, for those crab lovers out there who wants to try something new, go for it. Another must try!Most of the dishes were either too mild or too strange, but the stir-frying technique used was great! Visit this restaurant if you want to experience something different, or wish to treat your tastebuds to something out of the ordinary!!!
