Tangra Chinese, Race Course Road

Tangra Chinese, Race Course Road

We've seen Tangra Chinese (28 Race Course Road, tel : +65 9155 7645) around. Trying their food for the first time. From the menu, it looked Indian Chinese and Tibetan. A category we haven't explored much of.

Tangra Chinese, sweet lassi

There's lassi. Not thick but still refreshing.

Tangra Chinese, pan fried chicken momos garlic chilli

Tried a couple of their momos. They're are dumplings of Tibetan and Nepalese origins and usually are steamed. These red ones are stuffed with chicken and glazed with a chilli garlic sauce. I detected a hint of ginger it it. But otherwise, it's pretty much like most fried dumplings.

Tangra Chinese, palak paneer momos

The steamed momo we had was stuffed with palak paneer. Spinach and cheese. The latter, Indian cottage cheese with texture very similar to tofu.

The stuffings were chopped up. These were delicious. Kinda pricey though at almost $3 a piece.

The dumplings were served with a sauce on the side. Don't know what it was made of exactly but I detected lots of garlic and fermented bean in it.

Tangra Chinese, mixed chow chow rice

So, the Indian Chinese stuff...this was their mixed chow chow rice. Mixed because it has both chicken and shrimp in it. The rest of it were basically stir fried basmati rice and egg noodles with spring onion and eggs. Tasted much like yang zhou fried rice. Not bad.

Tangra Chinese, lemon chicken

That's their lemon chicken. It wasn't so much lemon-y then it was plum sauce and the flavour of that wasn't intense. Not like the local lemon chicken which is generally more sweet and tangy.

Tangra Chinese, mishti doi

Dessert was a mishti doi. From the flavour, I'm guessing it's yoghurt with caramel folded in. Nice one.
