Local Delights

A must-order whenever you are there, the stir fried tofu that’s cooked in a hot Szechwan pepper meat sauce is presented in a claypot and goes hand-in-hand with a bowl of white Hokkaido steamed rice. With the right balance of spiciness and numbness, this is an amazing dish that you’ve got to try to understand the hype.

The way to eat it is to pick up the pork belly and cucumber slices, dip it into the aromatic red chilli and garlic sauce. This is actually very appetising and I enjoy how the cucumber lends a refreshing touch to it.

Similar to saliva chicken (口水鸡), Tan Yu’s version has slices of chicken served in chili oil and topped with chili. Pretty decent, but would have liked it more tender and juicy.

Thank you @tanyu_sg for having us and @burpple for the kind invite! 🙆🏻‍♀️

Chef-owner Woo Wai Leong creates food that revisits Singapore’s Chinese roots but filtered through his unique vision This means the dishes he serves with the support of his awesome team, occupy a spectrum that stretches from familiar favourites that retain most of their original form save for a few twists, to creations that I highly doubt anyone else could dream of.
Shown above is an example of the former - the fragrant and filling steamed lotus leaf-wrapped mixed rice (glutinous and Japanese short-grain) with mushroom and garlic, served with panfried foie gras and shaved liver “lap cheong”.
Only dinner is available now but there are plans to start lunch service in mid May. That menu would be tailored more to suit the needs of the office crowd in the area.

Walked past numerous time but did not drop by till recently.

While set lunches are available on weekdays, on Saturday (Sunday they’re close) they serve Nasi Lemak in this manner. So pair your meal with side dishes like VNLB Beef Rendang ($6.80), VNLB Mutton Rendang, Golden Salted Egg Yolk Chix Mid Joints ($12) and Torched-Grilled Sotong ($14).

Eat lean and clean at Elemen, a fusion vegetarian restaurant at Millenia Walk with unique dishes such as Edamame Tofu With Black Truffle Wild Rice. The tofu batons are crisp outside and silky soft within, but while the wild rice boasted a pleasant nuttiness, its black truffle flavour was otherwise fairly subdued.

Taste: 3/5

Regardless of type, what constitutes a good dumpling for me is simple: a soft skin and a nicely-seasoned, juicy filling. The ratio of those two is key. Furthermore, the dumplings have to be freshly made on site.
中国拉面小龙包 - hawker stall #02-135 at Chinatown Complex Food Centre, is always buzzing because theirs fulfill all these requirements. The hive of activity centres around the tiny team that handmakes every single dumpling and the customers who mill around, awaiting their orders to be ready.

Speaking from experience, this is pure comfort food that the alcohol-saturated would greatly appreciate.
The large bowl is filled to the brim with a chazuke of rice and the most concentrated of chicken soups. It is crowned with a few pieces of grilled chicken, toasted sesame seeds, seaweed and spring onions. On a small saucer is a mini squiggle of yuzu kosho to be stirred in as desired. I love the chazuke both with and without the citrusy, spicy paste as it is sublime on its own.

If beef bowl is your thing, you definitely have to try this Wagyu Black Pepper Beef Bowl ($22) from STRAY by Fatcat. Tender and nicely seared wagyu steak that remains warm pinkish inside. Sprinkled with spring onions and fried shallots for some crunch and a nice subtle Chinese-style fragrance, a wobbly and running onsen egg by the side, the bowl is completed with a beautiful and refreshing pink ginger foam! 😍

Tender, slightly chewy beef slices with an intoxicating whiff of truffle oil. Rather pricey, an occasional splurge, though not my favourite 😝 Available at Pasar Bella at Suntec City.

I’m always game for salted egg yolk anything! This is an interesting combo, and guess what? It totally works! Not the best salted egg dish around, but definitely worth a try! Get it from the 鼎 Ding’s Carrot Cake stall 🍳
==========
Wild Market at Shaw Tower is an ‘atas’ food court in a small space, so it tends to get filled very quickly during lunch hours. Some interesting stalls offering uncommon dishes, something different.
