Yanhuo Restaurant

So lucky to have passed by on the one day they were having a special 50% off mains grand opening promotion, so of course we had to pivot from our original lunch plans.

Restaurant ambience was very on point - think Chinese motifs and themed decor all around, while leaning towards a chic and classy ambience. Think the space would become even more vibey and atmospheric come dinner time, perfect for gatherings and dates.

We ordered the Dry Pot Cabbage with Chinese Bacon ($18) as well as the Pineapple La Zi Ji ($28). Cabbage was perfectly charred with a nice crunch and a touch of its natural sweetness, nicely complementing the saltiness of the bacon as well as the creeping zing of the dried chilli. Pair this with a bowl of their Wuchang Rice ($2), and I guarantee you'll be mopping up every last bit.

As for the laziji, I'm convinced this is one of the better laziji I've ever eaten - the chicken chunks were so tender and the batter was so light and crunchy which altogether made for an extraordinarily addictive dish. The sweet pineapples and crisp cashew nuts also provided contrasting tastes and textures which completed the whole dish. Delicious!

Washed it all down with a glass of Green Snow ($9) which was Silver Needle White Tea with notes of Green Apple, Lemon, and Mint. Tastes slightly like the Pokka Sparkling Apple drink and I thought they could be a little bit more generous with the portion to match its price (might as well head to the nearby Chagee for a cheaper drink with similar quality).
