Tong Xiang Ji Zheng Wei Mei Shi 同香记正味美食 Herbal Soup 炖汤 (Redhill)

Redhill Food Centre has quite a number of stalls that sell really nice food and one of the stalls which is my preference, sells herbal soups. I like their herbal soups and especially the preserved salted vegetables (梅菜) and the minced pork with salted fish (鱼香肉饼). I'd always order these two side dishes with the soup.

Chezcake Bistro

Some of my biker friends love to patronise this bistro. The lady boss is always good at making good quality cheesecakes. The cheesecakes are definitely worth the price, they are priced ranging from S$5 to S$7 per slice. The cheesecakes are homemade which are produced with great effort and they are rich in cream.

The boss told me that the process is tedious and making good quality cheesecakes take time. The cheesecakes have to be in the fridge for at least a day before serving. And the cheesecakes would only be able to last for about a week.

We ordered the Classic set menu for 2 pax. 

Silver Bait Fish Fried Rice

Stir-fried Sweet Potato Leaves

Sauteed Cod Fish Fillet with mixed Capsicum

Taiwanese-style 'Bai Ye' Tofu

Chilled Cream of Pumpkin

Personally, I think the dishes are somewhat similar to those in Singapore but I'd still prefer the authentic food in Taiwan. The portion for the Sauteed Cod Fish Fillet is quite small and the service of the staff is a bit unresponsive as I have to reiterate my request before they attend to it. Overall, the food is decent and satisfying for 2 persons.
