Located in the basement of lower Elgin Street, this Chinese fusion restaurant welcomes you with a whole wall of golden fortune cats and mah-jong, both of which in the Chinese culture are believed to bring one with prosperity and luck. What a good start on a Friday evening after a hell's day at work with the Wicked 2-faced Devil.You can be sure to get a peace of mind from bombarding group messages in your Whatsapp and work emails from your BB because mobile signal here wis very weak, especially
You can be sure to get a peace of mind from bombarding group messages in your Whatsapp and work emails from your BB because mobile signal here wis very weak, especially towards the back where we were sitting. The industrial, rustic and slightly orientally artsy decor of this Chinese restaurant was what made the ambience different from the usual noisy and bright family-friendly Chinese cuisines.
And...cheers to TGIF and a break from the Wicked 2-faced Devil, we had the mule, lemongrass mix and some kinda cold tea mix.
Apparently Missy Leona and I were still pretty stuffed from the lunch at Bread St Kitchen so we went easy on the ordering this time. Many dishes here were spicy so if you're not a fan of it, you should confirm with the server while making your orders. The two appetizers arrived first - Yunnan style wagyu steak tartare and shredded chicken salad. Although I felt that having the wagyu beef completely raw defeated the purpose of having wagyu, I still highly recommend the dish which had a dynamic flavor from the sweet and sour marinate and herbs ($138). The cracker was so crunchy and good that I could not resist from having more. The shredded chicken salad was also a slight twist from the traditional dish. Marinated with sesame sauce and slightly hot, lettuce heart was used as the base of this salad ($88).
Since we couldn't have the pork belly at Bread St Kitchen during lunch, I've ordered the grilled pork belly here to make up for it. Thick-cut and tender, this dish was served with roasted chili and roasted almond ($128). The soy chicken was another highly recommended dish. Came in generous half chicken portion, this poultry dish was cooked to the right tenderness and flavor. I don't usually go for the breast in Chinese chicken dishes but this was done so well that us three girls kept digging into it ($160).
A very satisfying dinner with good food and company at a good price - truly a "blessing." Look, we even had fortune cookies. Left the restaurant as a happy soul.
