Two Chefs Eating House @ Commonwealth Crescent

more

On a zichar high, we decided to take on Two Chefs on a weekend night. Queues were expected, just that I was not expecting 30 people in the queue. At least it was a brisk one – go past 830pm if you want to saunter in without a fuss. Menus were thrust in our hands to make our orders before we made it to the table, I suppose that helps with the turnaround rate.

crowds

Envious of the diners.

dimsum shop

Right smack next door is a dimsum shop.

chingchong

Ching chong cutlery for a ching chong meal.

soup

Seafood soup

Hardly any seafood if slivers of fish are considered. Tasty broth but that is about it.

milk powder ribs

Milk Powder Ribs

This snow capped dish made Two Chefs famous. Pork ribs that tasted like chicken chunks coated with a sticky sauce and doused in milk powder was a visual treat. On the sweet side, using milk powder is a novel idea but it sticks on the teeth making it annoying it some extent. The over tenderised meat made it almost artificial in taste. Nice not great.

prawns

Salt and Pepper Prawns

We even clarified when the dish was served – looked more like chilli sauce prawns and tasted that way albeit sweet still!

veg

3 way spinach

Yet another that they claim to be signature. Mildly flavoured, I was searching for salted egg which was clearly missing.

I’ve begun to realise that zichar is not all that outstanding, fair enough, a notch up from cai png but there is always a limitation to how much can be wowed. Judging by the crowds, I’m trying to make sense of it all. Not sure if it is worth the trek from the East or the queues at least.

  1. 2 chefs may indeed be overrated judging from the folks who been there and told me about it. for me, i like the underdogs. far end of 2 chefs is lee heng restaurant. claypot liver with chinese spring onion, marmite chicken and you mai cai stir-fried in garlic are must-order items. give it a shot if you are attempting to make another journey from the east. just sharing the love..
