Mongolia Taste (109 Killiney Road, tel : +65 8440 0004) was definitely another one of those eateries which had intrigued us when we walked past their premise, made us tell ourselves we should come back to and then inadvertently forgotten about because reasons. What about these guys that would intrigue with the slew of 东北-esque restaurants scattered about the island you might wonder? Mongolian-esque dishes and more lamb options. 😅
So we have slice lamb liver - a cold dish tossed with savoury chilli oil with a 麻辣-esque bent. Nice. Love the mutton-y taste.
There's yoghurt on the menu - these were more "rustic" compared to the little pots of refined 酸奶 from Happy Lamb Hotpot.
All good with honey.
Tried their Mongolian tea. We were told that that it was made with millet fried in 黄油 - the latter of which might be an equivalent of butter or some animal fat. Wondered and still wondering if it's the same thing as the sheep's milk tea we've previously had at Manchurian Lamb Hot Pot. We went all the way and added 奶皮子 (left) and 奶豆腐 (right) which the proprietress mentioned are often paired with the tea.
From the taste, 奶皮子 is probably some sort of cottage cheese/paneer and 奶豆腐 is a similar milk based product with a different texture. We were advised that the tea was meant to be had with salt but we thought it was delicious with honey.
There's their rendition of sour and spicy potato strips (酸辣土豆丝) which wasn't very sour or spicy. Good munching still though.
Nicely salted 干锅菜花.
Had a few skewers of lamb, man tou and thinly sliced potatoes which they call potato chips. It all has that savoury cumin saltiness that made them moreish.
Some salted chicken gizzards which had a dried texture almost like jerky.
Single serving of lamb shank.
Best enjoyed without utensils.
Will look forward to coming back.
