Probably better remembered by its dishes at prices of $5/10/15, it offered Taiwan Tze Char dishes in smaller sharing portions.
For groups of 2/4, its set meals were a convenient choice to try some of the signatures on the menu. With a top-up of the Joey’s Lala, the 2-person set we took had some hits as well as misses.
We were impressed by its Lu Rou which was delicious. Similarly, the Joey’s Lala stood amongst the rest. The stars in the dish were the Taiwanese pesto and crispy pork lard that gave it the bold flavour and crunch.
From the plate of triple-cooked yam, burnt chilli chicken and fried pork chop, we preferred the succulent pork chop over the others but only wished its portion was more.
The set meal came with a cold Tofu with century egg which was decent though it didn’t wow us. Comparatively, the bowl of braised cabbage with bamboo shoots was more memorable with a nostalgic taste.
To end the set meal, we were served the Red tea jelly with (bubble tea) pearls. It was like a variation of bubble tea but in cream instead, not really our cup of tea tasting a little too jelak for us.
Overall, definitely some good flavours there though gotta be selective. The lunch bowls might be good alternatives to enjoy them at better values.
