Located just about 10 minutes away from Chinese Garden MRT, Xiao Yao Ge 逍遥阁 serves up 东北 cuisine, aka skewers and grilled dishes that everyone loves these days.

Being in this neighbourhood, the prices are more affordable & cheaper than those found within Chinatown, so if you're a westie, this is an alternative for you!

At $4, the grilled eggplants comes in 2 portions, topped with cumin, garlic, chopped coriander & chilli. The result is perfectly grilled eggplants that are so so soft and well-balanced toppings without being too overpowering. It also has a slight smokiness from the grill which adds to the aroma of the dish. Definitely a must order when you're here!
