Great China Food

Why travel to China when you can get authentic China food in Spore? The FarmHouse Family Restaurant at Tanjong Pajar is one of the very few restaurants owned by Mainland Chinese that offers authentic China food. Even the service and setting are very China-like. When we went there for lunch on a Wed afternoon, the restaurant was empty. A bare bodied man greeted us when we walked in. In typical China style, he said "Sit anywhere you like" and then handed us a piece of A4 size paper (bottom, right), with finely printed words, and a pen. This was their Menu. The table was covered with a colourful red table-cloth and placed on the table was a bottle of vinegar and a vase of Chinese wine. No chili sauce, no soy sauce, no green cut chili. The man who greeted us was the owner, cook and waiter. He recommended to us the Hot pepper with Dried Tofu (middle left). This dish, according to him, is not available anywhere in Spore. The dried tofu is specially made for him by a local manufacturer. This is a simple dish. The dried tofu is cut into strips and lightly stir fried with green pepper. It taste great. He also recommended the Pork Ball Soup (bottom, centre). Again, the soup is very simply cooked with tanghoon, cabbage and self-made pork ball. However, what I like best about this restaurant are their Pork dumpling and Smoked Chicken. The dumplings are only made upon order. It is very juicy. The smoked chicken is really tender and has a strong spicy taste. Other dishes we ordered are Pig's Skin Jellied Crystal, Fried Noodles and Noodles with bean paste sauce. We liked them all. The total cost for 7 dishes is only S$49. With such excellent and cheap food, I was surprised to note that only two other tables were occupied when we left. One was by two Chinese nationals and the other table by five Japanese women (problably wives of Japanese expatriates). Where are the Singaporean?
