Rollagt 5th Gear December 29, 2008 Share December 29, 2008 What do U all usually order when it comes to zu chao? Kinda bored with those SOP dishes like tie ban toufu, kang kong, shrimp paste fried chicken. However when I had zu chao with my dad and other fellow uncles, some dishes they order are not found in menu and yet the zu chao folks can whip them up. One of the dish I like is sliced fish cooked with bittergourd with black bean gravy ! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leslielai 1st Gear December 29, 2008 Share December 29, 2008 ome dishes they order are not found in menu and yet the zu chao folks can whip them up. That's the amazing part abt these zi char stalls, they can pretty much whip up anything so long the ingredients are available. Very skillfull cooks. I thought you were gonna talk abt some Chinese medicinal herb when I saw the title. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limhm Neutral Newbie December 30, 2008 Share December 30, 2008 A place to recommend...Oasis @ Toa Payoh Park...I felt it's a Zi Char cum Taiwan Porridge Restaurant. The price is reasonable, jus abit more ex than a neighbourhood Zi Char...but it comes wif waitress to serve u n it's air-con. U can choose to eat rice or taiwan porridge. Always had q @ 6pm to 8pm...had to wait le...but I will usually go at 9pm, no q le. It's for owl pp who nid supper too...if I m not wrong, they closed at 5am...
