Learned about #chuanjibakeryhainanesedelicacies from CNA 2 days ago, decided to give it a try, to #supportlocalfnbsg. The main dishes selection is simple (see the last photo). Since we don’t really take pork (which most people will order, since hainanese pork chop is suppose to be more popular), we left only the beef stew and the chicken chop.
1. Chicken Chop - hainanese style with a starchy, thick tomato sauce, with peas and onions, drenched on the chicken chop, that was coated with cream cracker crumbs, deep fried into golden brown batter. The meat was still juicy and tender.
2. Beef stew - it was served with chunks of beef, potatoes and carrots. It had a rich gamey flavor (which might not be acceptable by some people), and the starchy gravy was a bit blend for me. However the beef was soft and tore apart easily.
We also tried the flaky biscuit (which is not in the photo), with 13 ingredients inside, giving each bite, a unique taste. To me, it was a bit too sweet and “heavy” if one had to finish one whole biscuit. So it will be good to share it with friends, cut into quarters, I believe will be ideal.
