Peng Lai Ge...
the interior of the place...
interestingly, they've got some eel, squid and mackerel canned food on the shelves...
their menu...
After placing our orders, we happened to see a couple of their recommended items on the wall and ....
haha.. we noticed that the cai por neng costs $6.50. Ah yee was saying.. " wah! the cai por neng is $6 ah! " and i replied.. " wah.. its more expensive den my mains.. must be damn good to be able to charge that price "
but we didnt order that. haha.. if u've tried it, leme koe if its nice.
Drinks wise, i ordered the black bricks milk tea (recommended by the owner), uncle sq had the papaya milk tea (also recommended by the owner) and ah yee had the healthy honey vinegar (because we're curious whether its sour or sweet.. haha)...
the black bricks milk tea was pretty good....
Its milk tea and the black bricks tasted like the black cubes that starbucks used to offer but discontinued. I like it for its texture.
uncle sq's papaya milk was also nice. I vaguely remember the other time when i tried it at the bugis outlet, i didnt like it coz it was not cold enuff but this was was chilled and so its good. It tastes rich ... Mmm..
den the healthy honey vinegar, it tastes like sour plum drink. Not bad but the other 2 drinks are nicer.
the very first time i visited Peng Lai Ge @ bugis was mainly coz i wanted to try the smelly beancurd. But during my visit, i was informed that they had to discontinue it as there were complains that it was too smelly. They also informed that their other outlet at Joo Chiat (which is this outlet) still has it! So of coz, smelly beancurd was on my list of orders.....
portion was pretty good!
a closer view...
the inside of the smelly beancurd...
it is noted that we prefer this smelly beancurd to the one we tried at the geylang hk style smelly beancurd. The geylang one was very mashed up inside. This one was pretty good be it in terms of portion or taste!
and of coz, after my previous visits, i know that their crispy chicken is one of the must try!
A closer up view...
As we were digging into this, i commented this is way better den shilin's. Ah yee and uncle sq had in unison replied " of coz! " seriously i cannot understand why so many people likes the shilin's crispy chicken. Peng Lai Ge's crispy chicken is so tender on the inside. The flavouring is also very yummilicious!
ah yee ordered the guo tie....
a closer up view...
The fillings...
im not a guo tie person so im not the right person to judge. I prefer the steamed kind i guess. But ah yee and uncle sq said while this isnt fantastic, its got the basic taste of wat a guo tie should taste like. Also, this dish was actually served to us last (after our mains) so by the time it arrived, we were already super full and realised that we've over-ordered.
Rainy weather these days make me go for soupy stuff quite a bit lately. We shared a crispy sparerib soup....
served after the smelly beancurd, we couldn't really quite tell the taste of the soup. haha ... this soup was also recommended by the owner. he said its very xiang.
for mains, uncle sq had a pork chop fried rice...
one of the more expensive mains ordered today. Think its $6 plus or $8 plus. But portion was rather big. The pork chop tasted a bit like.. hmm... u koe the meat inside bao? To me it tasted like that. Thats why i dun really like it (coz i dun like the taste of meat inside bao). Also comes with the preserved vege.
Ah yee had the oyster mee sua....
a closer view.....
Was pretty nice. Tasty on its own even w/o the vinegar!
and i of coz had the lu rou fan!
I've said this before in my previous entries on Peng Lai Ge. I don't like sam cham bak. But the way they cook their lu rou fan, even though theres sam cham bak, it doesnt taste like sam cham bak. The sauce is very tasty and the meat is so soft and very good to mash with the rice. Thumbs up! Even uncle sq and ah yee agrees! They, like me dont like sam cham bak either.
And the owner who was pretty cute....
Ah yee commented that he looks like the icon of this place...
he really does! haha
