標題: [其他飲食] Singapore Food in Crystal Mall [打印本頁]

作者: applekiwi 時間: 2008-3-27 15:29 標題: Singapore Food in Crystal Mall

I found some very good Singapore Food in the Crystal Mall Food Court.
I usually buy the HK style food in Crystal mall but one day I smell some very good Curry. So I decide to try. I work around Burnaby area.

But I first try the Hai Nan Chicken because it is safer. Taste very local Singapore style.
Not free range chicken but the meat is not over cooked like the others. Rice is the right amount of oil.
Mix well between normal rice and sticky rice too. cost $5.50

Next day I try the "Meat Bone Tea". The smell and taste is almost exactly the one I tasted in Singapore "Lo Pa San" years ago. However the meat is not as soft as I expected. May be not cooked for a long time. And the soup will be a little strong for some people. cost $5.95

And then I go for "Singapore Style Pork Rib with rice" taste like Chinese King Do Bone. It taste good (sweet+sour) but because it taste like King Do Bone, so it is a bit no surprise for me. cost $5~ forget

I want to try curry chicken today but I am coughing these days so I order the Hai Nan Chicken again. I bring a friend today and he likes it too. I see some old customers order Singapore Thick Rice Noodle. I guess it should be good too.

Sorry no pictures and all text is pretty boring and this is the first time I post. Let me know what you think.

Not too many people post good restaurants these days and some old links are remove. Where are you guys come on?

really?

作者: Mr.JPG 時間: 2008-3-27 15:49

come on this new person at least write something s/he likes and dislike about the restaurant.
s/he didnt mention name of the restaurant also. at least its way better than others la.

作者: myversa 時間: 2008-3-27 15:56

I talked to the owner of the restaurant and they are indeed from Malaysia so the food you can say it's authentic. However, I tried their Meegoran (fried noodle), it does not taste as good as others. However their sambal sauce (hot chili sauce) is quite good and spicy.

I will go back to try other food.

Compliment from competitor, amazing!

作者: zuesel 時間: 2008-3-27 16:38

I've tried their hoi nan chicken rice. small portion, no soup. it was ok tasting only. i don't mind to go back to try something else.

作者: 007 時間: 2008-3-27 18:26

dont know why some people are so 'sensitive' these days... what makes some of you think the poster is trying to sell or scam? just because the poster likes the restaurant and recommends some dishes?

dont be so narrow-minded, there is nothing wrong with praising a particular restaurant.

I did try this new store in foodcourt, i liked its hoi nan chicken, portion was ok big, comes with MSG soup, chicken was almost boneless, meat was soft and moist, skin was ok crisp, the rice was pretty good - not very oily and tasted good.

Now are u guys gona accuse me of selling / scamming? come on...we're adults..act like one pls.

係咪新開? 好似唔多覺CM 有星加坡食物。
間鋪叫乜名同0系邊個位置左右?

P.S. 我唔覺賣下廣告有乜問題﹐D 野好食咪得囉。唔好食既都係笨7 一次0者。

作者: yungfourfour 時間: 2008-3-27 20:00

actually food in crystal mall food court are very unique and good tasting ge

but pay attention with the "meat bone tea" menu board

it's $8.50 to order alone but $5.xx to order as a meal with rice
Just odd =) but they do taste good

作者: 007 時間: 2008-3-27 20:23

Haha. I only stated what is true. I am not going to bash my competitor if they have good food.

作者: ATGB 時間: 2008-3-27 21:46

Which stall is yours myversa?? I eat at CM all the time.

作者: matt72178 時間: 2008-3-27 21:54

ATGB,
我有時都0係CM 食﹐我多數都係幫襯<<洪家園>>, 或者<<柏麗寶>>。
你去開邊間﹐推薦下。。

作者: applekiwi 時間: 2008-3-27 21:57

Wow I didn't expect there are quite a number of replies! I usually just read, don't usually post.

Yes I know sometimes people think posting are just owner selling. Especially sometimes I try some restaurant I know it is really bad but still people say it's really good, then I suspect.

But I don't know how to write to make it more objective. May be I should never put name (I actually didn't pay attention to the name). May be I should take away the cost also. If people also think it is good, then more people will add in more comments. If there is an online 蔡瀾 (can't type Chinese, have to look it up) who we trusted and can verify all the places for us, it would be great

My taste could be subjective too, and I love eating Chicken in general. That's okay, if somebody tried and likes it I would be happy.

Oh Sorry I forget to mention I smell curry because somebody order curry that day so I smell it, not because they make a big pot so I smell it.

I remember Loyaukee used to have 2 links that have a big list of restaurant inside and some comments inside. Does anyone know if they are still around? Sometimes when I run out of idea, will go to take a look.

I only tried a few Singapore Restaurant in Richmond Patermoon, KimLoon and Coconut House, also there is a small one on Broadway (long time ago, not sure if still exist, they have no bone Sun Chicken). If anyone have any recommendation, please let me know. Thanks!

Not that I am a homesick Singaporian but I had a chance to work there for a few weeks and tried some authentic Singapore food. Actually it tastes good but they put tons of MSG there (to be fair, I go to the cheap food court style one, not expensive restaurant)

作者: myversa 時間: 2008-3-27 22:18

Haha. applekiwi, if you like Malaysia/Singapore food, you should come down to Richmond Public Market. Our cook is as authentic as he can be because he is from Penang and he owns several restaurants in Penang too.

We do not put MSG into our food because I ate it all the time and I do not like MSG.

作者: shutterbug 時間: 2008-3-27 22:37

if you want to write a good food review...you should do it similar to what AC did in the old LYK la...he wrote lots of food reviews! with pictures and illustrations, star ratings, etc...I enjoyed reading those and really hope that someone could import them over...

sometimes it's not people who are sensitive, it's the board being abused too many times before, newbies come sell then gone....well, I guess it's better now than before since the traffic here is not as much???

作者: Littleprince 時間: 2008-3-28 00:24

我試過﹐係唔錯﹐不過無樓主講得這麼好﹐起碼我同桌的某人吃 CURRY﹐我也 SMELL NOTHING

不過我通常新店一定比機會﹐最少一次囉﹐ORDERED 了馬來炒貴刁﹐無 DISAPPOINT 到我﹐起碼好過他的 COMPETITOR﹐同 MALL 另一邊的那家店﹐係好正宗的馬來味道﹐無乜 MSG (或者定係我食唔出﹖)﹐另外那家成日要叫他唔好落 MSG﹐一次唔記得就勁加 MSG﹐所以都無幫襯好耐。。。

這家新店﹐其他朋友試過都話 OK﹐我下次諗住試 CURRY CHICKEN 或者海南雞飯﹐總結是
有回頭。

作者: ATGB 時間: 2008-3-28 23:43 標題: 回復 9# 的帖子

"Lung Wah"'s roast pig is really good.

also i like "bak yok lan"'s Shanghai dumplings

"pak lai bo" is always a solid choice.

Paradise Juice is the best place for fruit smoothies...they use lots of fruit not ice and milk.

作者: pekkleduckie 時間: 2008-3-31 16:12

i went to CM today and tried the tom yum vermicelli at the singaporean restaurant. definitely yummy.

i will go again and try the curry tomorrow.

作者: matt72178 時間: 2008-3-31 20:11

琴日試左海南雞飯﹐味道唔錯﹐但份量太少﹐如果大盒D 就perfect, 下次或者整個加底或食兩盒。
聽日試下D 咖哩都好。

作者: matt72178 時間: 2008-4-1 20:58

今日試左咖哩豬扒飯﹐D 咖哩唔夠味﹐D 飯又太硬﹐最好食都係舊咖哩薯仔。我都預左件頭細﹐所以我都帶定6oz 雞胸+青豆+carrots 黎加料。
雖則5-6 蚊盒飯唔可以要求D 乜﹐但真係同樓主講既有好大出入。
0甘既質素要發圍好難﹐如果有個強D 既 competitor, 即刻收皮。
賣貴D 真係唔緊要﹐最緊要係好食。

I might go to have a try. I have tried many Singaporean / Malaysian food in Vancouver but I was disappointed every time I tried including the most well known Singaporean / Malaysian style restaurant in Vancouver. It just does not taste like what we had in Singapore.

I have never tried anything in Crystal Mall except at the time when the mall was grand opening which is years ago. However, someone told me there is a BBQ shop has the best BBQ and 燒豬 in Vancouver. It is even better than the BBQ shop in Parker Place. I always buy from Parker Place and I believe it is the best in Vancouver in my own opinion. Does anyone know whether there is such BBQ shop and its name?

If the BBQ shop in CM is that good, I will definitely have a try. 燒豬 is my favorite.

I will come and try your food. (can you give a hint for the name of your shop?) I have a few friends in Penang and they have keep telling me how good the food is in Penang. Moreover, I like your attitude toward other people who are in the same business as yours. I do not believe people in the same business must see each other as competitors. If there is no competition, there will be no effort for improvement. We will not have the chance to enjoy those wonderful foods as the customers.

就係龍華囉。。。不過講唔上 THE BEST﹐我就覺得 PARKER PLACE 好D。。。而且你千萬別叫碟頭飯﹐我地最近發覺叫碟頭飯的他們專門比埋晒D頭頭尾尾唔靚的部份你架﹐特別係燒鴨

講起星馬食品﹐你有無試過 BROADWAY 間蕉葉呢﹖我覺得唔錯播。。。仲有一間響西四街﹐名唔記得 LU。。。

Yes, yes. That person told me that never try the 燒鴨 there. It is confirmed what he told me is true. It is funny.

甘又唔係。。。你成只買﹐或者買半只燒鴨都好好食﹐只係千祈千祈千祈唔好買碟頭飯。。。

Haha. I had aguement with the cook so I did not work there over the weekend anymore. The cook is still the same cook. I still think it's the most authendicate Malaysian food in Greater Vancouver. My wife only works there Tuesday-Friday morning now. She cannot work 7 days anymore but she is getting too tired.

What did you order? Did you like it?

I did go there on Saturday noon but just for twenty minutes to deliver some supplies.

I still ask my wife to bring some food back especially their curry sauce and asam soup.

OH too bad you weren't there. I ordered Malaysian style chow fun. The taste was good but I think there's room for improvement. I hope you don't mind me being honest.

It's okay. Nothing is perfect. To be honest, the cook might move away in few months so I will miss his food. His food might not be the best but for sure is the most athunticate as it can be.

My wife and I are still looking for another good Malaysian food restaurant.

I heard the buffet restaurant down at the states (http://lycheebuffet.net/) has Malaysian main cook.

which shop are you referring to? I would like to try. It is more convenient to go there because I never have luck in parking in Crystal Mall.

I give up already!
