Two Chefs has been an institution here at commonwealth, has been here for over a decade at least.
Everyone's must have dish when they come to 2 Chefs, is the butter Pork Ribs, a dish with tender de-boned Pork Ribs bathed in butter powder snow.
I recommend ordering large portion even for 2 pax, as any other portion surely not enough. If eating in a group, just order 2 large portions.
Ngoh Hiang not bad.
Havenโt eaten here since Covid and was near by therefore decided to dine there. There was available table at 8pm without having to queue.
Food standard has dropped IMO. Loved their cockles before, however the sauce is watered down now. Their famous butter pork ribs (milk powder) was still good. The other dishes were acceptable.
Prices are reasonable.

This is the dish they are most well-known for. The ribs were juicy and eating it with the milk powder gives a creamy taste in your mouth.

โจHoney Ribs(่ๆฑๆ้ชจ)โจ
The honey is not too sweet and the ribs were fried well. It is quite flavourful and fragrant. Honestly, I prefer this over the butter pork ribs.

The Zi Char here is famous for their Milk Powder Pork Ribs ($10) and it is an interesting dish! The fried pork pieces are definitely flavourful, succulent and tender, and paired with the milky savoury topping, this is actually pretty addictive! Great to get if you are around! ๐
Second time is the charm! Visited the two chefs outlet at bishan years ago and didn't quite fancy it. Remembered that I ate the milk powder pork rib and went nahh what's so nice about this thing.
Fast forward a few years, visited the commonwealth outlet this time. Hesitated whether to get the milk powder pork ribs, and went ahead with ordering it. Turns out to be a good choice because this time round we greatly enjoyed it! Sweet milk powder with super soft pork ribs with no bones! Plus all the food was served quite fast and hot! Other dishes which we ordered include the sweet and sour fish, hei zo meat roll, seafood tofu and chaotah beehoon! We wanted to orfer the claypot tofu initially but it was not available when we visited.
Dined here on a Saturday night. Queue was relatively long but fast moving. And btw, no point calling to reserve seats beforehand. We called to reserve, but ended up we still had to queue up like everyone else. So no need to waste your time to call. Just head there early to queue. ๐ They will take your order for the dishes before you are seated.
The bill for this meal for 4 pax was only $43.5! Affordable and good tzechar. Great for family gatherings!
Was recommended this zichar place and even though it was a little bit of a trek from Holland V MRT, it was well worth the walk. Dishes were affordable, delicious and great for sharing. We came on a weekend early afternoon so there wasnโt much of a crowd and waiting times were really short too.
The Butter Pork Ribs with Condensed Milk Powder ($8) definitely stole the show for me - it is after all what their shop is known for. It really tastes exactly like its name, the sweet taste of condensed milk went really well with the salty butter pork ribs. Would come back again.
Headed there on weekend evening and was glad there wasnโt a queue. Ordered a few of their must trys - Butter Pork, drunken cockles & Salted Century Egg Vegetable. Their food is reasonably price and tasty. Portion is just nice for 2 too
๐คฉ๐คฉ The butter ribs is a lovely combination of sweet & savory. So sinful but itโs always my must order when I visit two chefs. I personally feel itโs one of the better zichar stalls out there. ๐๐ป โฃโฃ

Highlight of this zi char place. Come before 6.30pm to avoid waiting!
Ordered the butter pork ribs (boneless), spinach with three egg and fried rice. Portion was small but the tastiness made up for it. Enjoyed the non-pretentious and comfortable setting of eating zichar style :)
Ordered butter pork ribs, omelette, and vegetable w/egg, salted egg, and century egg. All foods are good. Worth to try!
This is a zi char store that serves decent food, although nothing super amazing in my opinion! The milk powder pork ribs is one of their most popular dishes - you either love it or hate it!
I personally dont enjoy the mix, but i know of people who love it
1. Herbal Chicken Soup ($14)
2. Spinach with 3 kinds of egg ($10)
3. Hotplate tofu ($8)
4. Honey glazed pork ribs ($10)
5. Horfun ($4)
6. 4 bowls of rice ($2)
$48
This is probably one of the zi char dishes iโve been wanting to try for awhile and finally had the chance to. The pork ribs are covered in milk powder and the combination of the ribs and milk powder was initially abit strange but it slowly grew on me. The boneless ribs made it easy to eat and it was tender as well but beware as the milk powder rly sticks to your mouth when it dissolves. Not sure if I would order this again but itโs definitely worth a try.
I always like their drunken cockles and salted egg fish skin. their herbal chicken soup is also good!
This dish is a MUST ORDER at Two Chefs!!! Itโs kind of a misnomer though - itโs called butter pork ribs but really, itโs crispy pork buried under heaps of milk powder fried with fragrant curry leaves and a few chilli slices. Not sure how they do it, but the whole dish is kept so dry and not oily. Donโt say never warn you ah, this dish is just damn shiok la and you may find yourself polishing off all the milk powder bits (like me HEHE).
Other dishes worth trying here are the golden tofu with enoki mushrooms and the herbal chicken. Also tried the stir fried yam - while its good, itโs not quite like the Pu Tien one. Overall, food here is value for money but pro tip: do come early to queue as it is super popular.
Butter Pork Ribs, the name of this dish doesnโt sound unique at all, until you see it served on your table.

It is Two Chefs Eating Placeโs signature dish, deep fried pork ribs mixed with condensed milk powder. Yes, milk powder, and yes, it is sweet. The verdict? It is good! We canโt decide which one is stronger, the sweetness of the milk or the saltiness from the pork. They just mix together in every bite.
Arrived at 6pm on a Sunday, tables were barely filled. We waited for almost an hour. Though itโs cheap, honestly taste is mediocre. There are better zichar at the area. Wonโt return anytime soon.
By the way, this is the exact portion for two. ๐ซ
$16 for a large. There was an intense wok hei from just the noodles alone even though it looked rather plain.
