Two Chefs @ Sin Min Avenue

Two Chefs Eating Place has a branch at Sin Min Avenue, which is really not easily accessible by public transport. Either take a bus 52 from Bishan Interchange, or just drive here. There are plenty of parking lots in the surrounding housing estate and there is a basement carpark just below the restaurant.

Two Chefs is located at Blk 409 Sin Min Avenue, you might miss it in the Sin Min estate but it actually takes up one lone 3 storey building separate from the housing estate.

We popped by to have a nice weekend family lunch!!! Two Chefs whips up nice chinese-dishes-served-in-relaxed-no-air-con-environment, aka zi char. Great place to bring your parents/grandparents who insist on sticking to decent chinese cuisine. And this place is definitely less crowded. No queues! One of the best parts of eating in a big group- you get to order many dishes to sample. Here was what our table looked like:
  

Here are some dishes we had:

1. Drunken Cockles

Supposedly one of their signature dishes, it is essentially a cold dish with slightly raw see hum drenched in their very interesting pestle sauce made from chilli, spring onion and garlic. Some people might be turned off by the slightly raw cockle meat but the sauce really makes this dish appetizing.

2. Butter Pork Ribs

Yet another signature dish, you will either love this or hate this. The pork ribs itself was really done well; tender but still retained a bit of chewiness. The strangest part of the dish- each pork rib is covered with copious amount of milk powder. It tasted like milk powder to me, but I'm not really sure if it is. It gives the pork ribs a really sweet, milky kind of flavour. It's a really love it or hate it kind of thing.

3. Sweet and Sour Pork

A standard zi char staple, the sweet and sour pork here is rather decent.

While you're here, do try their drink stall's Ice Jelly Drink. Just imagine your ice jelly dessert served in a cup. Yes, you can slurp up jelly bits and icy syrup from your straw. Unfortunately, no fruit cocktail provided. A refreshing drink nonetheless.

Overall, food here is pretty decent and affordably priced. One advantage of visiting their Sin Ming branch, it's less crowded, at least during Saturday lunch time when I visited.
