Liu San @ Bukit Timah Plaza

It has been a few months since we ate here. We are back again and we are pleasantly surprised that they got proper menu now. It used to be an order chit with words and price.

My sis and her colleagues were eating there and I gatecrashed.

***

One of sis' colleagues will be going home for dinner, so she just ordered a little starter to fill her tummy first. I can't remember the name, but I think it was Mi Tong Kueh or something like that. I was too shy to ask what it is inside (hey, remember I gatecrashed), only asked if I can take a photo of her food. LOL

***

I had the Braised Minced Pork Rice. A very simple dish, but I like it.
Minced Pork with rice makes me happy.

I was going to try the Taiwan Curry Rice, but it was sold out. Sigh... Next time.

***

Another of sis' colleague had the Oyster Mee Suah. She said she has been here 10 times and this is the first time she got to eat it. "Finally!",  she announced to the lady taking the orders. It was the last bowl for the day too! She was seen enjoying her mee suah.

***

Sis wanted to order something else and it was sold out, so she had the Mince Pork Noodles instead. It's almost similar to what I had. She had the noodles version of it. ;-)



The noodles are a little spicy compared to my rice version. She enjoyed it.
She was too hungry and was digging in right after I took the first photo. Looks good eh?

***

We all shared this "power" (I think, can't remember the name) chicken.  Meat from a drumstick cut into small pieces and deep fried. A bit like KFC's pop corn. I think KFC's version is nicer though. ;-p




It was a quick dinner. Sis and her colleagues are teachers. After dinner, they went to sit at a coffee place and do the usual marking, marking and more marking!

Liu San @ Bukit Timah Plaza

Sis and I always do our grocery shopping at Fairprice Finest at Bukit Timah Plaza. Before doing our weekly 'walk' in the supermarket, we would usually grab dinner first. Dinner is usually a quick bite at Ming Jia Korean or Subway. It all depends on which is less crowded.

I have always wanted to try Liu San but sis says it's not nice. She tried it once with our cousin. But I think her tastebuds must be something wrong the day she tried it. Why? Everytime we walk past, there's always people eating and I told her, I want to try it.



We asked what's their best sellers, the service staff said it's always sold out by lunch. If we want to try them, come during lunch time. So, I had the Taiwan Braised Chicken with Rice. ($5.60) It's not too bad. I like the taste of the braise sauce.





It comes with a bowl of pickles which I like. If you think the chicken is a salty, eat it with the pickles, it blends well.





Sis had the Taiwan Beef Noodles Soup. ($6.80) The soup is very different. It is very "herby". Definitely not what you will think it would taste like. Lots of fresh and / or dried herbs must have been used.





Sis and I shared this. Tako Wasabi (Wasabi Octopus Salad) ($6.50). It's cold and very very wasabi hot! Be very careful when you eat this. It shoots right through your head. (Note: this costs more than my rice and it's not that big. But its nice.)




The food here is not too bad. But what impressed us more than the food is their excellent service here. The moment we got seated, the service staff comes to you with hand sanitizers. She asked if we wanted to sanitize our hands before dinner! Wow..
 The service staff also makes sure that you know what you will be eating. When I ordered the chicken, she asked if I eat chicken skin. I was like "huh"? No one has asked me that before. I think it's because the chicken has skin and some people don't eat skin.

When we ordered the wasabi octopus, she stressed that it is very very 'qiang4' and asked if we used to eating wasabi. We said no problem!

We only had warm water and it was filled up very frequently too. The next table had a lady who was suddenly sniffing. (I thought she was crying, but sis said no lah) The service staff came with a box of tissue. Sis happen to also cough a bit (not on purpose) when eating the wasabi octopus and the service staff came with a box for her to pull out tissue too!

Sis said it was quite different from the last time she was here. So it was right for us to try it.

We would go back and try the other dishes, another choice for a quick meal before grocery shopping ;-)
