My first time at this place. We didn't know what to eat and upon strong recommendation by the lady boss (I think), we took this $48.80 set meal - 6 dishes including a dessert. Overall, I find the food just above average. The presentation is something they could improve on haha!! But I love the double-boiled soup - quite generous with the amount of sharks' fins ;p

铺田 (Jurong Point)
The boss of 铺田 must be laughing his/her way to the bank! Within very short period of time, there were many branches which sprouted across the island! And most of the times, they are well-filled with curious and hungry customers! I, for one, decided to try the food cos I like the 兴化米粉 I've once tried at one of those "铺田s" at Lavender. There are so many around. Which is the authentic one? Does anyone know?
I think this is spinach and 皮蛋
兴化米粉
Duck wrapped with yam, deep fried. A little oily, I think but the duck meat was quite tender!
Sweet & sour pork with lychee. This is one of their signature dishes. Actually, this was like any sweet & sour pork, except they had 2 lychees on it haha! No lychee taste in the dish, otherwise. But the pork was quite tasty and not like most sweet & sour pork where you'd be eating the fats more than the meat, the amount of meat used was quite substantial.
Overall, the food was quite good! After the meal, we waited to test if much MSG was added. Indeed, it was! Haha!! Then again, I went back one day to "tabao" the 兴化米粉红 ;p
锅贴 (40A Commonwealth Ave)
The stall (forgot name lah..) at a corner on the 2nd floor is better known for its 锅贴 (though they are actually fried), other than its 酸辣汤 and noodles. I've been there a few times and still love its food! But it seems that the quality of its fried dumpling has dropped. The dumplings used to be real crispy! Anyway, I'd highly recommend this place for anyone who has not tried eating at this place ;)
酸辣汤 I think it's $3 for this portion. Good for 2!
Fried dumplings - $4 for 8pcs (I think ;p)
I don't remember the name of this noodle. But it was really good! Think it's also $3 for this big plate enough for 2 too! They also have 炒年糕 which I'd try the next time ;)
If you want a drink to get rid of the oiliness, just pay $0.10 for free flow of chinese tea!
