Singapore Curry Laksa @ EAT Cafe (Paradigm Mall) on a Friday Night (12th July 2013)

UPDATE 3rd November 2013- EATZ cafe has closed down due to poor business sales.

Being TGIF, and a rainy evening, we decided to head to a nearby mall for dinner.

The last time we visited EAT cafe @ Paradigm mall for some Singaporean noodle dishes, the Singapore Curry Laksa certainly caught our attention, and we vowed another visit, and that day happened.

Singapore Curry Laksa @ MYR 8.9. The soup was thick and it's got a lot of dried shrimp in the broth. With a generous serving of noodles and condiments (Bean sprout, fish cakes, oysters, and other assorted yong tau foo), it was a filler.

Our side dish, pork cocktail sausages from Bee Cheng Hiang, few doors away. Didn't quite like them. The original bak kua is the best. MYR 15 for a pack of 7.

Overall the Singapore Curry Laksa was good. A tad salty and oily, but not bad. 3/5.

Dry Minced Meat U-Noodles @ EAT Cafe (Paradigm Mall)- Non-Halal

It was after gym, and we were running against time to catch a movie (Monsters University), so our options were thin.

Our initial thought was to grab some buns to appease the growing hunger within, as we walked pass the LG floor, Heart* proposed that we try out this place.

Interestingly, we have been to Paradigm mall so often but EAT cafe seems to never have crossed our thoughts, and since we we still had a little time to kill before the movie, we decided to give it a go.

Both Heart* and I ordered the Dry minced meat U-noodles (Very peculiar name I know), but the dish turned out quite... nice. An interesting hint of sourness (From the vinegar) to it. MYR 8.9.

The place serves a lot of fishball based noodles, as well as Singapore Laksa, and the next thing that came to my mind was that the whole franchise could have originated from Singapore itself. That assessment is yet to be confirmed. ;-P

Overall, ok stuff. 3/5.

In my opinion they seem quite calculative with the condiments (Measuring the amount of minced meat per bowl in... get this... pastry paper cups -.-"), but the taste is just so different from what I am accustomed too, it's totally unique and fresh, and warrants a second visit.

Soup Mee Suah @ Tang Shi Fu @ Paradigm Mall (29th June 2013)

I only had Tang Shi Fu once in my life, and that was a few years back. The dishes I had back then was but a distant memory, and given the fact that Heart* has not tried it, we decided to give it a go at Paradigm mall's branch.

The variety of Mee suah seems to be signature dishes in the restaurant, so we each ordered different ones.

My rice wine Mee Suah with Black Fungus and a Chicken Drumstick. The taste of the broth was acceptable on its own, but the noodles seemed to have absorbed the strong alcohol flavor that went straight into my nose and it felt really terrible in each bite. 2/5. MYR 13.9

Hearts* dried scallop and Chicken Drumstick Mee Suah. The broth had a faint herbal taste to it. I was half expecting it to be herbish, but rather it was bland. 2/5. MYR 16.9

Heart* ordered a jug of Sour plum juice to wash it all down, which cost MYR 9.9 and extremely pricey in my opinion.

Coupled with the starter (Which consisted of some pickled/salted fruit slicea), and 2 packs of wet napkins (Which we have forgotten to use!), the total damage came to about MYR 54++... which was totally NOT WORTHED IT.

It was Hearts* first and last trip to Tang Shi Fu there and then, and I shared the exact same sentiment.
