12 Oct'08

Last minute decision to watch Connected at Orchard Cineleisure. I didn't watch the English version "cellular" but it is very nice movie. It is funny, fast moving pace and full of exciting scene.

After the movie, we go to basement foodcourt to have our dinner. Both of us ordered Steamboat. It is the deja vu feeling. It remind us of the first dinner we have in Taiwan. The ingredients is more or less the same in anywhere but the most important is the paste. In Taiwan, they do have special sauce to go with the food. The paste is mixture of sesame and bean paste. They also have the garlic paste which is soak with special oil and it got very strong fragrant of garlic, very smooth and not spicy at all. Normally, I do not like to eat garlic even it is with chicken rice, but they make the garlic very nice. In Taiwan, they just serve us the pre-mix paste but in foodcourt it is DIY.

I strongly recommend this steamboat @ Cineleisure basement foodcourt. I consider their charges are OK with the fresh ingredients, large serving of greens, meats and rice and the location and environment is nice. It is a combo meal with soup of your choice, generous serving of greens, meat of your choice and rice. Chicken - $5.80, beef or mutton - $6.80 and seafood - $7.80. They have 4 type of soup base, chicken, ginseng chicken, tom yam & ma la. I try the ginseng, they have taste and aroma of ginseng. As weiwei tried the ma la, at the end of the meal he really feel that his lips and tongue went numb.

Try it if the foodcourt is not crowded and you are not in a hurry...
