Revisiting A-One Signature

A-One Signature, Tiong Bahru Plaza

Been some years since we last ate at A-One Signature.

A-One Signature, salted egg century egg minced pork porridge

Their salted egg, century egg and minced pork porridge was decent tasting. There's a baseline umami since all their porridges have dried scallops in them. Any other ingredient or topping typically adds to that. A couple of things could have been improved methinks. More minced pork would be great. One thing that bothered me was the quality of century eggs that they used which was pungent and had an gelatinous texture...even for the yolk.

A-One Signature, olive fried rice with minced meat

Also decent quality olive fried rice with minced meat. Smoky, savoury and all. They even use real bits of char siew. What this needed was more of the preserved olive leaves which the fried rice is named after. We've had a number of these (ichi, ni, san, shi) and this was probably the one with the weakest flavour from those preserved olive leaves.
