Asian Kitchen

Oh my god!! It was a fabulous day. I think I had Chinese Orchestra practise. And after that, I went out to eat with Jasmin, Hui Yi and Kim Leng. I think I ate in Asian Kitchen before, however, it has been so long that I think I have forgotten the taste that lingers in my mouth. As for this, it has been some time too...

Anyway, back to business. I wasn't super hungry that day but still unable to resist the temptation of eating. The picture below is Shrimp Fried Rice. The taste isn't that fantastic, but for a mere $9+, I think it is acceptable. The prawns had the taste that it was chemically treated to make them taste like plump and firm. If it was anything but fake, I would have totally love it. But being me, I chose to ignore the fact that it was 'fake' and 'enjoyed' them for the day. But what was commentable was the rice. Personally, I love to eat short and plump Japanese rice. But, the restuarant would not be able to cover the overall cost if they have done so. But, they cooked the rice just right before they fried it. I totally love the fact that it was soft yet firm and able to feel the slight sweetness that lingered for a while before I swallowed. Also, the coriander or 'yuan xi' gave a crisp and aromatic taste to the rice when chewed with it. Overall, I think I would give it 4/5 stars.

The dish below, similar to the above mentioned one, instead of shrimps, luncheon meat was added instead. Nothing much to say about this dish as it shares a great deal of difference as the above. Just that, I hate to eat green peas. Well, hate is quite a strong word. But I detest to eat it. That is, in the unprocessed form. If it is fried and coated with wasabi powder, I will like it better. Such a contradiction huh? Overall, I will give this 3.5/5 stars. (due to the peas.)


The dish below is 'Ngor Hiang'. However, this isn't the best it could have been I think that it could have been better. That is because, this dish must have been prepared in the kitchen of a modern interior. The most authentic taste can only be incorporated when food is made using traditional equipment and traditional setting. The best tasting one should be cooked in a charcoal grill and roast to perfection. The taste of the 'Ngor Hiang' that was from this restaurant tasted like...well, let's just say I was kinda disappointed. But presentation-wise, I can't say it is terrible. The sweet thai chilli sauce looks semi sweet but had quite a punch when a lot of it is taken at one go. Overall I would give this 2.5/5stars.

Last but not least, my favourite - XIAO LONG BAO!!! But it was to my dismay that the xiao long bao didn't taste what I imagined it to be. It was not minced well enough. The seasoning added could have been better. More starch could have been added to give it a smoother taste. The soup added should have a splash of chinese wine. That will certainly make the meat taste more tender. Not much to say about this xiao long bao. Overall, it barely made it. I would have given it 3/5stars.

That is about all I have. I will post more on CNY celebrations.
