[food tasting]
Two Chefs Eating Place is a popular
Zi Char stall over at the west.
I have been there a few times myself and really love the food there.
Thanks to
OpenRice and Estelle, I went back there for a food tasting makan session!
Two Chefs Eating Place
雙廚菜館
BLK 116 Commonwealth Crescent

Opening Hours:
Monday : 5pm to 11.30pm
Tuesday - Sunday : 11.30am to 2.30pm; 5pm to 11.30pm
Closed on every last Monday of the month.
It's popular and well known especially among zi char lovers,
even my friends and relatives visit them too.
Just a short 5-10 minutes walk from
Commonwealth MRT, Exit B,
Two Chefs is always crowded with long queues waiting.
Calling ahead to reserve is highly encouraged though you won't be seated till everyone (or mostly) arrived and ready to order your dishes.
I have always loved eating
zi char, and even though the surrounding might be noisy,
zi char gave me a very homely feel.
It brings people closer with each other while having
zi char.
Prices are reasonable and affordable as their servings size are definitely worth the money.
Most of the dishes comes in
3 sizes, small, medium and large.
There are a few specialities that they are really famous for which attracts their customers base.
I always ended up there ordering that same few specialities all the time.
We did for the same, at the Makan Session, wanting to try their famous specialities.

Drunken Cockles 醉蛤
$6.00
This is like an appetizer dish.
Apparently very popular among most of my friends.
I am not a fan of cockles plus I can't take spicy food,
I ended up trying the dish after all since I was so curious how it really taste like.
Cockles is still not my choice of food,
yet I can understand why my friends and other customers like this dish.
The cockles do not have the raw taste to it
(which I really hated)
and are cooked nicely with the flavoring to it yet keeping it's own freshness.

Vegetable w/Egg, Salted Egg & Century Egg 三蛋时菜
$8 (s) $10 (m) $14 (l)
This is my all time favourite dish over at Two Chefs.
You might ask why with a plate of spinach and 3 types of eggs will cost you $8.00,
but it's totally worth it.
The spinach, the 3 eggs and the sauce are the best combination.
The spinach is so soft and sometimes I ended up gulping it down without bitting.
We always pour the sauce, together with the egg and spinach, on our rice as some sort of flavouring,
and I can say it makes my rice even more appetizing.
The dish always ended up swipe clean by us even with all the sauce.
With the salted egg and century egg you might worry whether it's salty but I can assure you that it's not.

The Butter Ribs are the one that attracted most customers to Two Chefs.
The pork ribs are coated with their special butter milk powder.
Preparing the special butter milk powder actually takes up a lot of time.
It's sweet and do not have a strong milky taste and amazingly goes well with the ribs.
The ribs are also tender and soft to bite;
with the butter melting in the mouth, who can resist eating them?

$8 (s) $10 (m) $12 (l)
The sauce for this dish goes well with your rice too.
I have always liked "tofu" or beancurd and golden mushroom, so I might be slightly bias towards this dish.
I really like how they make their sauce,
not too salty, not too starchy.

$15 (s) $20 (m) $25 (l)
Fried Prawns and Mayonnaise easily attract the younger crowds.
The prawns are fried nicely and are coated with meat floss and mayonnaise.
The mayonnaise are slightly sweet but yet with the meat floss you will find it delicious.
By coating the mayonnaise over the fried prawns always allow all of them have ample supply of mayonnaise instead of letting you dip it over a plate.

| Omelette 芙蓉蛋 |
Omelette 芙蓉蛋
$5 (s) $8 (m) $10 (l)
I always enjoy ordering Omelette at Zi Char places, it gives me the homely feeling.
It's simple yet nice.
Their omelette are fried to a slight brown sides and will have a little cripsy feeling to the outside yet still soft inside.
I think omelette can never go wrong.

Chicken Soup 鸡汤
$13
First of all, I couldn't find this under their menu and it's not always available,
so do ask the waitress/waiter if you are interested!
This wasn't ordered during our makan session but I would love to share it with you people.
I am in love with it from the very first mouth I drank.
This chicken soup is amazing!
I had it with my friend and we ended up ordering an extra portion of it!
There's half a chicken in every portion,
and each portion is just nice for a table of 4-5.
You can tell they put in effort brewing the Chicken Soup.
The chicken is really tender and soft, easily tearing apart with your spoon.
It's really smooth to eat it down too.
The soup is the tastiest part since it had extracted the essence of the chicken and gives off a very nice aroma.
Definitely something I would like to drink on a cold and wet day.
It just warms me up from deep inside.
Two Chefs works really fast and even though the customers are endless,
they never chase and rush people off.
Which, I think is what brings people back there.
They are not arrogant even with the superb quality of food.
The price stayed the same throughout the years there,
(partially because they own the place, I think)
and with their friend attitudes,
who won't want to go back again?
Anyway not forgetting some photos with the other bloggers before I end this post.
Look how happy everyone are while dining.
