Today was invited to join lunch with the sales team. Previously i told them my favorite food is mee siam and hard to find elsewhere. They had frequently visited a place for mee siam and wanted my review LOL.
The place is called The Royals Cafe near Siglap centre. As the place was rather small, the place is already packed. Inside you can see cakes and ice-cream on display. Other than that they also sell ala carte items like sandwiches, salads, nasi lemak, chicken chop ... , but i am here for the mee siam.
I ordered the mee siam set meal which costs $8.80, consisting of mee siam + coffee/tea/soft drinks and a cake valued below $2.20.
Impression of the mee siam, served in a big bowl with prawns? Now i know why this humble dish costs $4.90 alone. The sourness and spiciness of the gravy is just right. Also the gravy is abit thick with peanuts, elsewhere they don't put peanuts. The only disappointment was the tau gey put inside was not cooked or blanch slightly. I prefer the tau gey to cook longer so its doesn't has that raw taste.
Rating: 4.5/5. If the tau gey is less raw, it would score more.
Lastly was dessert, the American Carrot Cake, this is not your local chai tow kuay. The texture is different from normal cakes, less soft. Every mouthful, you can taste the slices of carrots and nuts, quite a funny yet nice taste. My colleague bought a cake back.
Hope to comeback more for the Mee Siam. Sorry dear readers no pictures.
Thanks Leslie, Siew Cheong, Andy and Thao for the recommendations.
