I headed back to Lao Chengdu recently with a group of old friends for dinner - it's a great place for loud, noisy, rowdy meals to catch up with people who like to eat a lot and talk loudly. Like me :)
凉粉 again - this was a favourite.
I liked their cold cucumber with garlic, but felt there was just a little bit too much garlic.
Their beancurd skin strips were reasonably tasty, with a good mix of chilli and sesame oil. I liked the Mi Si version better though, which had lots of coriander.
The salted egg tofu soup was as good as ever, especially in extinguishing mouth and stomach fires
French beans with chilli, dried shrimp and black beans. This was reasonable...nothing to crow about.
梅菜扣肉- nice with rice. Not sure how authentically Sichuan this dish was, though.
Pork ribs with spices - I found the meat a bit tough. It could have been cooked slightly longer.
茶树菇 - this wasn't so impressive. The mushrooms tasted kinda weird, actually.
Dou miao - can't go too far wrong with this dish
辣子鸡- one of the best in Singapore I think. Hot, spicy, and not too oily. Great on steamed rice.
Close up of the little firebombs
We also tried a serving of the 担担面 but it wasn't that impressive in terms of the stock and flavour. It needed to be slightly more oily, with a lot more sesame.
