The Eastern Restaurant

I must agree that Centrepoint shopping centre is truely a gourmet place for food.
A few restaurants: Teochew city seafood rest, Noodle Place restaurant, Prima Taste Restaurant, The Eastern Restaurant, Lerk Thai, Iciban Boshi, The Soup Restaurant... can be found there.

I intend to try all the restaurants there(if i could). But first, which restaurant shall i go first? Alright, i shall start from the back, The Eastern Restaurant.
The Restaurant is famous for the Collagen Noodles. I mean most restaurant or every establishment would have it's own signature dish AND they are popular for the Collagen noodles. A few certificates are displayed outside, they have won several accolades for their deep-fried pipa tofu, noodles, pork belly..etc.

I ordered the Recommended dish: Deep-fried pipa tofu and a plate of kang kong stir-fried with preserved soy beancurd.

The pipa tofu took abt 10 mins to arrive, pipping hot. 4 small little oval patties being presented on individual spoon. It looks so lovely(presentation). Be caution when u bite into it, it burns ur tongue as it's hot on the inside. The dish uses tofu, some minced pork, prawns, water chestnuts, mushrooms, carrots... etc(if i could name all) minced together and deep-fried till crispy. The mixture was tasty and each bite is crunchy(water chestnut), soft(tofu) and sweet( the prawns and pork). I fell in love with this.

The stir-fried kangkong with preserved soy beancurd is a little on the oily side. I requested it to be less salty as the used preserved soy beancurd in it.

They charge $1.50 for the peanuts(tasteless and awful) and $0.30 for the towels. Next time i would ask them to remove the peanuts.
