The Old Pontian Cafe @ Lot One (Choa Chu Kang)

My aunt brought us to try another branch of the Old Pontian Cafe. She said the one at Bukit Panjang sticks a "not available" sticker over so many dishes, it's annoying isn't it? The branch at Lot One at Choa Chu Kang however sells everything on the menu. It is also bigger, busier and lively! She told us to that she and her friends like the Prawn Noodles here and we should try it.

We hard their mini fried wontons. The fried wontons does look nicer here. Crispy and not dark and over-fried. Instead of mayo, I ate it with their pickled green chillies. The green chillies here are so crunchy! I think it goes well with fried food. ;-)



Momo had the Prawn Noodles Soup version.
She found it very tasty. The soup's nice. (Though it does not look nice here)



Aunt had the Prawn Noodle Dry Version. Aunt likes it.
Thinking back I should have ordered the dry one.



I thought I will try something different and ordered the Curry Noodles.
It looks nicer than Momo's Prawn Noodles right? But taste wise, it's not what it looks. haha...
The soup's watery. It's not the thick coconut milk based soup that I was thinking it was. This version is without the coconut milk I think.



But the big popiah was tasty. We always like the popiah here.



If you are here, try the prawn noodles or pontian noodles, not other things. But if they have modified their recipe for other food and you have tasted it, let me know. ;-)

Dian Xiao Er @ Lot One

Call me a 'mountain turtle', I have never been to Lot One Shopper's Mall! Neither have I been to ION Orchard!

Anyway, I was following my uncle and aunt to Lot One just to 'look see look see'. It was lunch time and after walking around, we ended up at Dian Xiao Er.

Flipping through their menu, we saw that their set meal's really interesting. They have a chart that shows the number of people / number of dishes / price. Look at their menu on their website to understand what I mean.

We had the Family set for 4 persons, so it comes with 7 items. (Rice is considered one item. haha)

Here's what we have:
Soup of the Day - Lotus Root soup with pork. The soup's nice.



Duck Roasted with Angelica Herb. Everytime I come here, I like their duck. I like the herby taste of it.



Baby Kailan with salted fish and lime.
Have you tried kailan with lime in it? It really taste really nice!
I might just do the same at home next time.



The Hong Kong Style Steamed Fish Slices.



Mongolian Spare Ribs.
I like this. Crispy and tasty. I think I like the sauce ;-)



Braised Assorted Mushroom with Broccoli.
I like anything mushroom or broccoli, so this is lovely.



Oh ya, if you go early, you get early diner's discount too. I think we got a 12% discount.
If you are a senior citizen or a student, you get 20% off.
