Old Bibik's Nasi Rendang @ Lavendar Food Square

IMG_6130

If you visit Lavendar Food Square, do not be surprised when you see 2 Chinese men selling nasi redang at Old Bibik's Nasi Rendang stall. Both Adrian and Ah Wee quitted their corporate jobs and venture into F&B without any kitchen experience.

Duplicating Adrian's grandma secret rendang recipe that is handed down from one generation to another, Old Bibik's rendang is prepared from scratch daily at the stall with the freshest ingredients.

Chicken Rendang Set 4.2/5

The Chicken Rendang Set ($4) came with papadums, egg, cucumber slices and rice. Optional side dish such as Nonya style Stir Fried Long Beans can be added at a nominal price. The chicken was well marinated and fork tender.

Beef Rendang Set 4.2/5

The Beef Rendang Set ($5) is a dollar more and came with the same set items. The beef redang was slowed cooked to tender soft. Worth mentioning are the spices used at the stall. They were freshly and manually blended daily.

Mouth Restaurant (地茂馆) @ China Square Central

IMG_8167ed

Pride itself as being the first restaurant to bring the teahouse concept to Singapore in 1989, the original Mouth Restaurant (地茂馆) at Chinatown Point had snaking queues where customers had to wait up to 2 hours to savour their dim sum.

Mouth Restaurant (地茂馆) has evolved over the years to become an all inclusive Chinese restaurant offering exquisite Hong Kong cuisines, infusiing traditional culinary with a touch of modernity at an affordable price. Revamping its menu to capture the younger palate, I am impressed with the food, relinquished my misconception of the food served at Mouth Restaurant.
