Yan Lai Ju 宴来居 - Another Northeastern Chinese Restaurant in Vision Exchange

 Yan Lai Ju - Restaurant Front

I was strolling around Vision Exchange after having dinner at A Kitchen when I discovered another Northeastern Chinese restaurant by the name of Yan Lai Ju 宴来居.

While there is always a long queue at A Kitchen, there are only a few diners at Yan Lai Ju 宴来居. A Kitchen’s strategic location right in front of the entrance might have played a part, but is that all to it? I decided to try out Yan Lai Ju 宴来居 for myself to find out.

Yan Lai Ju - The Food

Chinese barbecue or skewers is only available after 5pm. There’s supposedly an option to choose between Local Flavor 本地口味 and Heavy Flavor 东北口味. But I overheard a lady from another table that it tastes the same no matter which flavor you choose.

Yan Lai Ju - BBQ

I order Grilled Mutton BBQ 羊肉串 [S$1.50 per stick, minimum 2 sticks] at every Northeastern Chinese restaurant because I just can’t get enough of it. The mutton skewers here are a little tough and much too spicy even though I ordered “small spicy”.

Orleans Chicken Winglet 奥尔良鸡中翅 [S$2] and Grilled Sweet Corn 烤玉米 [S$1.60] tastes pretty ordinary. Roast Pork Roll Noodle Mushroom 烤五花肉卷金针菇 [S$2] is a lot smaller than I expected and they are a little dry and rubbery.

Yan Lai Ju - Pickled Cabbage with Fish Slice

Pickled Cabbage with Fish Slice 酸菜鱼 [S$24] is much easier to eat than grilled fish because there are no bones. But the fish slices are a little on the soft side which means the fish slices are not very fresh.

Yan Lai Ju - Sauteed Potato, Green Pepper and Eggplant

You can’t really go wrong with Sautéed Potato, Green Pepper and Eggplant 地三鲜 [S$12] for it is such a classic and easy dish.

Conclusion

Yan Lai Ju is a good place to have some affordable Northeastern Chinese skewers and dishes with family and friends. The shorter or lack of queue is another plus point.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
