Chengdu Bowl Flagship 成都碗 (Tanjong Pagar)

Saw that they were having a $9.90 promotion for their claypot dishes so we decided to try. The Sesame Oil Chicken Claypot (u.p.$19.80) was filled with tender chunks of chicken smothered in a tasty sesame oil sauce. This more of a sharing dish so don't forget some bowls of rice to mop up the sauce with! We also got the Crispy Sesame Shredded Potatoes ($15.80), but it did not hit our expectations. Tasted so similar to the jagabee potato sticks, except greasier. Although the portion was huge, this was not worth the price.

𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐒𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐮𝐚𝐧 𝐏𝐞𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐅𝐢𝐬𝐡 (4⭐️; $27.80) - Succulent dory fish in an aromatic sauce that’s more 嘛 than 辣.

𝐏𝐚𝐧 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐆𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐓𝐨𝐟𝐮 𝐂𝐮𝐛𝐞𝐬 (4.5⭐️; $12.80) - Unassuming favourite with soft and silky tofu wrapped in a thin crispy batter, paired with sweet chili. Would recommend!!

𝐅𝐢𝐬𝐡-𝐟𝐥𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐩 𝐍𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐥𝐞 (3.5⭐️; $15.80) - Slurpworthy springy noodles tossed in a slightly sweet tomato sauce. Hearty mix with chewy and fresh shrimps but couldn’t quite detect fish flavour.

@chengdubowl recently launched a series of summer-themed dishes at their Tanjong Pagar flagship store and we tried a couple of them! Many were comforting and we especially fell in love with their Pan Fried Tofu 😍

The Green Sichuan Pepper Fish ($27.80) had quite chunky pieces which were very soft and tender. The sauce itself was numbing but not too spicy! Note that it comes with a bed of vegetables below.

The Jianghu Spicy Hotpot with Mixed Vegetables ($27.80) was like malatang, but much richer. I loved the beef slices as they were cooked perfectly and were tender. The vegetable ingredients underneath were well cooked and note that it is quite spicy!

The Chongqing Signature Chicken Pot ($27.80) was probably one of my favourites. It was comforting and had a familiar taste, as it was similar to the braised soy sauce chicken you can get around. The chicken pieces were quite tender!

The Fish Flavoured Shrimp Noodles ($15.80) was unfortunately not to our liking, as the taste profile was very sweet due to the tomato sauce. The noodles were too soft too. Maybe this is for the sweet tooth?

Finally, we come to the crowd favourite. The Pan Fried Golden Tofu Cubes ($12.80) were simply addictive. The soft cubes were coated with a thin batter, which remained its crispiness and had a good savoury flavour. Definitely a must order to share!

Overall, the food is decently good and would be a place to consider bringing your friends for a good comforting meal! Thank you @chengdubowl for the meal!
