long xia zhou shi jia @ orchard central dinner in town with my maternal side at orchard central--a fantabulous meal at long xia zhou shi jia. everything was so delicious! chinese food is not my thing, but while the cooking styles were unmistakably oriental, the sauces and flavours were exceptional.  the restaurant occupies only a small portion of the eighth floor. majority of the tables there were big ones, which was fitting for us, a party of nine.  the dish that just blew me away: fried lotus with salted egg. the lotuses were sliced so thinly that they became chips when fried. costly chips though, that plate set us back $18. absolutely addicting, you can't stop popping them into your mouth!   and of course, their namesake--lobster porridge. it was so good, my mum ordered 3 big bowls of it.     i'm not going to write much about it, just that it was one of the best chinese food i have ever eaten. everything was tip-top, from the meat to the vegetable to the seafood. to gush over it would only (rightly) prejudice you. go try it!  orchard central presently has a promotion. take a picture of your friends at all of these four spots (spread over 3rd and 4th floor) and you will receive a $10 urbanwrite voucher (no additional condition). it's that simple! we collected 3 that day.   we then cross over to somerset@313 and had dessert at the old malaya cafe at basement 3.    dessert selection was pretty limited, price starting from $2.50. huge bowls, but what you see is what you get. there is nothing underneath all that ice. |
