Cafe d' Orient, 新香港

While still suffering from his jet lag, Ric was still capable of suggesting to dine at this new dining premise at Clementi Sunset Way. Though happy to see me, he was obviously 'stoned' tired.

The once sleepy neighbourhood here had been transformed to one lined with cafes and restaurants in relaxed, alfresco setting.

As this was our first time here, we strolled through the stretch of restaurants under Blk 106 and finally decide to have a simple meal at 新香港茶餐厅.

Pork Ribs Bamboo Rice ($5.90)

We ordered their Beef Slice Spaghetti ($8.90) and Bamboo Rice to share, with the winner being the rice. It was a very simple but satisfying dish that was not overladen with salty sauce. The taste was just right for a tiring body.

Their fried spaghetti came in a big serving but was not a better version than what we have tasted. Maybe it was a little too wet and just fails to bring out the flavor of this noodle dish. Photo was not post-worthy.

Prices were nett but on a higher side when compared with here.

We need a dessert and thus the next post.
