Food review.
Place: Sheng Li Restaurant
Location: Temporary market in Tampines
Food: Zi Zhah - Deep-fried butter & milk prawns, Chicken with apple sauce & Sambal Kangkong
Firstly there isn't any available menu given, and the lady who served wasn't too helpful to recommend dishes. She claimed that all the dishes on the menu are nice. (This sort of response usually put me off, cos I'm pretty sure there are some dishes which are not as sellable.) Though there are two newspaper articles from the chinese papers that have given a review on the store. I am not convinced till I tasted the food myself.
It wasn't long before the first dish, sambal kangkong was laid on the table. The colour of the dish did not appeal to my sight; it look like the cook had used some vegetables that had lose its freshness to serve to his customer. It was a little too oily, but the sambal tasted was alright.
The second dish was deep-fried butter and milk prawns. The prawns used were not really fresh, and the shells of the prawns were not crispy enough. The taste of it was slightly average.
Lastly is the chicken with apple sauce. I was rather curious how apple would taste in a dish like this, hence I decided to give it a go. But it was a disppoinment to my tastebud. The first mouthful of it, the distinct taste my palate picked up was the taste of food turning bad.
Overall, don't go there unless the rest of the stores are closed.
