Room 18 is another Chinese restaurant accustomed to the busier society and the younger generation. Traditional Chinese meals normally serve rice and dishes. But what happens when you are eating alone. You can’t be ordering all the dishes for just one person. So Tai Thong group came up with yet another brilliant dining concept. There are soups in individual bowls, and I picked the watercress soup and it was delicious. But honestly, why does restaurant serve soups already salted? Is it not better
Moving to the main courses, I tried two of their recommended rice served in stone pot. The Mabo tafu rice, and the Seafood Egg rice. Both being a disappointment and really bland. To make things worse, the rice were undercooked. Both dishes kind of just have this tasteless mushy texture on the top.
I thought rice plate might be better, so I ordered the Twin Combination rice which was palatable only because I didn’t like the texture of the rice served. Apparently their rice is really hard and dry. Took me twice the time to chew my rice, but the roasted pork was delicious. Crispy skin and succulent meat was a great combination for the roasted pork. The barbecued pork slices were also amazing. But I do hope that they’ll be more generous with the meat and the gravy.
Lastly if you order the set meals, they sort of throw in some dessert of the day and I happened to land myself with the coffee pudding. I love the texture but hated the coffee flavor. Like I’ve always said, coffee taste good only as coffee itself, not when it’s a flavor to anything. I really don’t find this intriguing at any bit.
Nothing to look forward to when it comes to their drinks, but the fresh juice was a good end to the meal.
