For the past year or so, I've found many food places that I would have blogged about but was just too lazy. I've since decided I shall drag my butt up and share these places with the people who bother to read.The girlfrend and I was pondering what places to try and she suggested wings, and as
I was foodblog surfing, chanced upon this place (B1 - 17/32/33, United Square)
Grandma's Kitchen serves chinese food in a nice restaurant atmosphere that would make a good place for occasions or dates. We've found that there is very few places with good chinese food and a soothing ambience at the same time, so when I read how this place has both, decided to bring her to try.
This rendition of the beef rendang ($9) was marvelously done. The beef was soft and the sauce coating it was bursting with flavours. I wish it was coated with more gravy though.
This is their version of fried chicken wings. I was expecting more but alas, it was nothing special. It comes piping hot and had a tinge of lemongrass, but it lacked the infusion of flavours into the flesh of the chicken that I would have prefered.
They also have very good beer promotions. I had an Erdinger for $5, which is next to impossible to find in a restaurant.
There are hits and misses here. The service was extremely friendly and helpful, and I like the quiet environment, so I'll probably be willing to give it a second chance. The more popular dishes here were the fish head curry and the chicken curry, and I'll come to try it again.
