Back to my trip home, our dining crew has moved over to the East side and we’ve been eating our way through Tanjong Katong. We’ve been spending more time discovering our neighbourhood. R & M just moved into a lovely cosy studio surrounded by good local food.
We started with chicken rice 南香鸡饭 Nan Xiang Ji Fan, half a portion of roast and half steamed white and ordered sides of roast pork and Kailan. The chicken rice was okay, but nothing mind blowing (the holland village Ipoh horfun place does a better one, order the silky chicken!). The roasts were lean, dry and miserable, and clearly the least favourite being the only leftovers.
We finished with sea salt caramel ice cream and a mudpie from the Ice Cream Gallery to celebrate Mo crepepepepek’s birthday. A very cosy little artisan ice cream place serving great desserts. Happy birthday Mo! If you had to order one thing, go with the sea salt caramel ice cream.
The “moist chocolate cake” is deceiving as it looks decadent and rich but is really dry and flakey. Don’t order that. It’s like waking up on Christmas morning finding out you have no presents. boo. Not worth a single calorie!
The mud pie is really really good.
