Tale of Two Chefs

Two childhood friends from Ipoh came to our sunny island many years ago. They slaved in many kitchens until one day, they jumped at a chance to open their own business at a little coffeshop corner near Commonwealth MRT.

And hence "Two Chefs Eating Place" was born.

Superman and I finally made our way there after reading many good reviews about this Zi Char. It was a pleasant five minutes walk from Commonwealth MRT.

Fortunately, it wasn't too packed when we reached there at around 7pm. Service was friendly and courteous, and food arrived quickly, within five minutes of placing our order. Probably because we ordered the crowd favourites, this being the first time we ate there.

We had:

Butter spareribs - $8

Rich, fragrant and tender, this dish will have you at the first bite. The powdery butter makes the pork ribs really really good. Never tasted anything like this before. 

Tri-coloured egg with spinach - $8

Another winner, this dish is soft, creamy and smooth with lots of tender spinach. Love the combination of egg, century egg and salted egg with spinach, a perfectly well-executed dish.

Beancurd with enoki mushroom - $8

Smooth beancurd with lots of enoki mushrooms, a dish that you can ladle the gravy over your rice with.

Glad that we ordered the above combination of dishes as the ribs tend to be on the sweet side, beancurd with enoki mushrooms on the salty side and the tri-coloured egg with spinach the perfect foil to the other 2 dishes.

This is a fantastic place for zi char, a yummy date for us that day!
