A little Shanghai taste – Eastern Restaurant
176 Orchard Road, #01-57, Centrepoint Singapore 238
Tel: 6736 2638
Opening hours: 11:00am to 10:00pm
I was glad to be part of a food tasting session with Eastern Restaurant which specializes in authentic Chinese cuisine.
There was a galore of familiar dishes such as 小笼包 or 红油 炒手. I must say it was a feast for the eye as well as the taste bud.
Yummy cold dish - 绍兴醉鸡 or "Chicken marinated with Shao Shing wine"
This dish has a lingering taste of the wine which makes it appetizing and gets you craving for more.
Cold tofu with Century Egg- it was a unique blend in taste which I find it interesting and rather delicious after 2nd tasting.
Ying Zi loved it so much she ordered 2nd serving. I find the sauce specially delicious with splashes of diced peanut to enhance the flavour.
Collagen La Mien or 胶原蛋白拉面
This dish is a must-try for those who believes in giving your skin a little treat. Personally I find this dish a little bland for my liking as I prefer food with stronger flavour. Probably it is to let diners enjoy the natural and pure taste of home-styled soup. There is an introductory offer for this dish at S$8.80 instead of usual $12.80.
Fish soup with salted vegetables
Don’t be deceived by this soup with simple name. It was TASTY!! I love, love, love this soup. The soup was thick and rich in taste. One of my favourites!
Wantan with hot chilli oil or 红油抄手
I did not try this dish but from the review from other food bloggers were good. I guess from the look of it, it sure looks yummy!

"Lou Hei" or "捞余生"
As it was still within Chinese New Year period, Eastern Restaurant gave us a pleasant surprise with Lou Hei. Huat ah! As Yong Wei would say “早生贵子”. hehehe…
Noodles with minced meat and mushroom in spicy sauce or "炸酱面"! Another favourite dish!
This is another must-have if you are like me – someone who ADORES spicy and flavourful food. I had tried quite a few 炸酱面 and this has proven to be the best so far. The handmade noodle was smooth and QQ. It goes down smoothly with each bite. However do not wait too long to have this dish as the noodle will lump together when the dish turns cold.
Food bloggers and journalists
Bao with Custard and Egg Yolk or "流沙包"!! Must must must try!
Love this dish! It has a savoury tinge mixed with sweetness of the bun! Results = heavenly!!! I find this an interesting treat. I had tried custard bun in Hong Kong which was yummy but this 流沙包 is something unique and refreshing. Love, love, love the taste!
