A Kitchen 友间厨坊 - Northeastern Chinese Cuisine in Novena

Among the Chinese restaurants specialising in Northeastern Chinese cuisine, A Kitchen 友间厨坊 seems to be doing the best with 3 outlets and a fourth outlet opening in Punggol soon. I visited the outlet in Vision Exchange, Jurong East 2 years back and I am going to try out the outlet at Novena.

The Novena outlet is located on the ground floor of Goldhill Centre. After crossing the overhead bridge from Novena Square, turn left and you will see the restaurant on your way to United Square.

What to order

A Kitchen - Lamb Kebab

No trip to a Northeastern Chinese restaurant is complete with a few Lamb Kebab 羊肉串 [S$1/stick, minimum 5 sticks per order]. The lamb skewers are well-seasoned and tender, I wouldn’t expect anything less.

A Kitchen - Fried Pork in Scoop

Fried Pork in Scoop 锅包肉 [S$23.40] is another classic Northeastern dish. The battered pork slices are deep-fried before coating in a thick sweet and sour sauce. The meat can get a little tough when cold so do eat them while it’s hot.

A Kitchen - Fried Pork in Scoop

There are many variations of Shoots Fried with Egg Pork and Garlic 家常小炒 [S$15.60] and A Kitchen’s version uses garlic sprouts. The garlic sprouts are sweet and crunchy, pairing well with the black fungus and eggs.

A Kitchen - Dry-Braised Assorted Mushrooms

Dry-Braised Assorted Mushrooms 干锅杂香菌 [S$20.80] is the best dish for mushroom-lovers like me. There are king oyster mushroom, shiitake mushroom, shimeji mushroom, all dry-fried with a wonderful smoky aroma.

A Kitchen - Dry-Braised Veggies

Dry-Braised Veggies 干锅双鲜 [S$20.90] is another healthy delicious dish that is sure to impress even the most critical vegetarians. Cauliflower and lotus root slices are fried together, both are dry vegetables so they retain their crunchiness and natural sweetness.

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.

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...
