Tam Po Po

Dinner was at Tam Po Po with Lionel.

We had the pork bone ramen.. supposedly Black Pig. I opted for the non spicy one...



the black pig slices...



the black pig was thin and quite tender but taste was not strong. the noodles were similiar to ajisen noodles which i like. the soup was pretty ok as well... not very strong in taste but generally i liked it enuff to finish it.

Lionel went for the spicy version....



smiled a bit like fermented beancurd initially. haha.. taste wise, it was not that spicy. i personally prefer my non-spicy version.

we ordered char siew to share....



their char siew is THUMBS UP. But theres a clear layer of fats (YET ITS SO GOOD). Lionel said he'll just pretend he didnt see the fats.... haha

the eggs....



it was quite good in terms of taste but i wished the egg, especially the yolk area would be liquid instead of semi-solid already.

We also shared a pork katsu... black pig katsu...



a close up....



it tasted clean, not tough... overall it was alright but not the bouncy tender kind.

we also had this black pig (oh yes, we probably killed alot of black pigs for dinner tonight.. haha) wif cabbage thingy....



a closer up view...



the black pig inside tasted like some paste.. *think fish paste*... while it tasted alright, it wasnt fascinating. Lionel said it tasted like it was something easily available frm those all-you-can-eat steamboat buffet. haha

desserts wise, we ordered a green tea chiffon cake, thinking that it looks nice....



which, it does LOOK nice. tall and texturised and all.. it is true! it really does LOOK nice. Thats all. Tastes..... oh well, lets just say we didnt like it. haha

we also went for the white cream cake thingy...



lionel had previously told me about this cake after koeing how much i like the strawberry shortcake from Bakerzinn. There is quite an amount of cream on this cake and its really good. hehe... the cream is pretty light. I attacked it despite my stomach upset. =p
