Nanxiang Steamed Bun in Bugis Junction
Wanna try something different from chinese restaurant? Go to Bugis Junction, Level 2. At Nanxiang Steamed Bun Restaurant you drink your soup with a straw out of a steamed bun. Cool. Each King.S Soup bun cost $6.80. Shanghai Vegetable Rice ($7.50) is rice steamed with lots of veges. Very healthy. The buns with glutinous rice ($4.20) is also quite interesting and you have to eat it steaming hot, otherwise it won't taste good. While there, try the mini puff pastry ($4.20). It is light and juicy.

China Style Cza Char in Casuarina Road
Another restaurant owned by Chinese nationals started business in Casuarina Road a few months ago. Instead of serving the usual fried dumplings and minced paste noodles, this restaurant serves some decent cza char type of food. The claypot duck was excellent ($22). The gravy double up as soup. The deep fried beancurd skin ($17) is also good. The braised pork ($15) is so good we ordered another plate. It is best eaten with steamed mantou. The claypot pork ribs with bittergourd ($17) is a bit spicy but good. The salted egg crabs ($22) is average. Vines Pavillion Tea Restaurant house is at 126 Casuarina Road. Price is quite reasonable, about $15 per person.

Local Food in Redline Cafe
I was surprised to find a trendy cafe in Upper Thomson Road serving local food. The owner told us his Teochew braised duck is a family recipe passed down from his grandma, who is a Teochew. The duck is indeed different from those you find in hawker centres. I like the mee goreng which is moist and not too oily. The curry chicken is also good. Redline cafe only offers 5 items on their menu. The other two items are Hor Fun and Fried Rice. The owner said that these items are their family favorite dishes and they do it differently from others. Redline Cafe is at Imperial Court, opposite Longhouse Food Court

New Dishes at Chen Li Yuan Restaurant
Chen Li Yuan, my favourite chinese restaurant, has introduced two new dishes to its menu. Mutton stew and egg roll with meat paste. The mutton stew is a hot favourite with the Chinese nationals living in Spore. The mutton is stewed for two hours in a special sauce till tender. When there is an order for this dish, it is heated up on a large steel plate with tofu added in. The taste is so delicious. But the smell of mutton may be too 
strong for some. The egg roll with meat paste is quite unique. The egg roll is coated with sesame seeds. For more other dishes from Chen Li Yuan, refer to my posting dated 24 Aug 2006
