Pig-out@Zi Yean Restaurant
Of late, the pig-out friends are having a hard time coming up with places to, well, pig-out at.
Our old reliable standby, Moi Kong, is closed; the entire building is undergoing massive renovation. Our other kitchen is closed and waiting for renovation to be completed at a yet-to-be-disclosed new location.
I don't include the big name restaurants in our pig-outs because there really isn't any surprises in those places. On reputation alone, one already expects impeccable service, opulent ambience and spectacular food.
Rather, we delight in finding low-key restaurants that would turn out some outstanding dishes. If the food is truly out-of-this-world divine, we would even put up with noise, over-crowdedness and untrained wait staff.
One recent foray turned out to be a delightful discovery. Food was decent, service was efficient and the place was not noisy!
Two of their dishes deserve special mention:
- their fried la mien had a beautiful wok hei aroma that woke up even jaded taste buds
- their 3-flavour fried chicken was skilfully done with different fragrant peppers and finished with a distinct citrus note
