Ah Yat Kitchen (阿一厨坊), Far East Plaza

Ah Yat Kitchen (阿一厨坊), Far East Plaza

I remember Ah Yat Kitchen (#05-36 Far East Plaza, 14 Scotts Road, tel : +65 6235 2988) from back in the day they were operating at the Food Republic at Capitol Piazza. Didn't realize that they've relocated themselves next door to Nanbantei until very recently. Food here is serviceable and pretty affordable - this isn't the kind of place for exquisite.

Ah Yat Kitchen (阿一厨坊), milk tea

Milk tea's okay.

Ah Yat Kitchen (阿一厨坊), century salted egg minced pork porridge

I kinda liked their century and salted egg congee. This had the creamy texture of well boiled rice. There're also tender shreds of pork in it.

Ah Yat Kitchen (阿一厨坊), spinach dumpling with shrimp

Spinach dumpling with shrimp tasted pretty good. If spinach and shrimps are your kind of thing. To be a little less ambiguous, I definitely don't mind eating this again.

Ah Yat Kitchen (阿一厨坊), french toast

French toast was forgettable.

Ah Yat Kitchen (阿一厨坊), french toast

Didn't help that the syrup was very sweet and single dimensional. Look at how little of the toast was soaked through with the egg.

Ah Yat Kitchen (阿一厨坊), har gow

Har gow skin was a little thick. Didn't taste bad though.

Ah Yat Kitchen (阿一厨坊), pan fried radish cake

Pretty decent pan fried radish cake. 

Ah Yat Kitchen (阿一厨坊), char siew bao

Also pretty decent char siew bao. Stuff that I wouldn't mind coming back for.

Ah Yat Kitchen (阿一厨坊), siew mai

Siew mai was chunky with a porcine and mushroom-y flavour. Again, very serviceable standards. There's definitely better out there but the same can be said for the other end of the spectrum.
