Spiciness: 🌶
A must order whenever you're at a skewer shop is 辣子鸡! Perfectly deep fried crispy bits of chicken is tossed with dried chilli, peppercorns, salt & pepper. This simple yet extremely addictive dish is best paired with beer, or rice, whichever way you roll.
This portion is not as spicy as what I've had elsewhere which is great cause it's much more bearable, allowing you to go in for one nugget after another.
Located just about 10 minutes away from Chinese Garden MRT, Xiao Yao Ge 逍遥阁 serves up 东北 cuisine, aka skewers and grilled dishes that everyone loves these days.
Being in this neighbourhood, the prices are more affordable & cheaper than those found within Chinatown, so if you're a westie, this is an alternative for you!
At $4, the grilled eggplants comes in 2 portions, topped with cumin, garlic, chopped coriander & chilli. The result is perfectly grilled eggplants that are so so soft and well-balanced toppings without being too overpowering. It also has a slight smokiness from the grill which adds to the aroma of the dish. Definitely a must order when you're here!
This was not bad actually, it's fried then cooked in a sauce, hardly a braise tbh but not sure if there's a better translation
The fish was meaty and there isn't any small bones, it's unseasoned which allows you to dunk it in the sauce. It's better the next day when you remove the frozen oil so that it isn't overly oily, at the same time it soaks up the sauce
The ribs were quite tender, somewhat mild but supplemented by the garlic and black beans. A homely dish, not terribly impressive though
It's lost. Their standard for this was so insanely good, now it's just a decent wing that can be found anywhere. Still juicy and slightly crispy but nothing special, nor has it been the case in the longest time
Dry spices are good as ever but french beans were not fully cooked
PSA don't dine in on Friday lunch, the grabfood and foodpandas are ridiculous, we waited for 40mins looking at them send out huge orders of food delivery. Jesus Christ
