It’s a dream come true for all foodies who love Asian cuisine out there as China Town hosts it’s special Mongolian Food Festival. The trademark festival, which is being hosted at their restaurant on Cathedral Road, is all set to please the foodies in the city and will be running until the 6th of December. 

We were hosted by China Town’s seasoned chef, Chef Lai Chee Chung, who is anchoring the festival and has prepared a delightful menu of selective sizzlers and stir-fry’s. Some of the sizzlers on the festival’s menu that caught our eye were the Hunan baby corn with tofu & mushroom, Stir fried chicken with chilli peppers and onion, Roasted lamb with broccoli & mushroom in hot garlic sauce, to name a few. The desserts were also sizzlers as well and we spotted mout-watering items like Sizzling brownies, Coconut dim sums, and Sizzling pineapples. The dinner buffet that went with the festival also had some new dishes on the menu, complementing the theme of the festival.

What we had:

Fish & Vegetable Stir Fry

Tender and well cooked fish in a mild garlic sauce makes this dish absolutely enjoyable, and to complement the fish are some fresh vegetables, chosen right out of the live stir-fry counter. 

Dim Sums

One simply doesn’t move on with a meal at a Chinese restaurant without feasting on some dim sums. These dim sums, both vegetarian and chicken, were a real treat with the filling being just perfect and the wrapper, well made.

Roasted Lamb Sizzler

One of the highlights on this festival’s menu is the roasted lamb sizzler with broccoli & mushroom in hot garlic sauce. Definitely a must try, especially for those who love lamb as you will enjoy the consistency of the meat and freshness of the vegetables. 

Hunan Baby Corn with Tofu & Mushroom

Yes, there’s something for all the veggie-lovers out there too! This well made meal sizzles with aromas of garlic and crunchy but cooked veggies, and some soft and delicious tofu. 

Roasted Beef Sizzler

If you’ve got some meaty cravings on your mind, this sizzler will do you good. Beef, cooked to perfection, in a delectable and hot sauce.

Coconut Dim Sums

A perfect way to end a meal at the festival would be to binge on this lovely portion of coconut dim sums and ice cream. It melts in your mouth and tastes like a dream!

Sizzling Pineapple

Ever wondered just how good pineapple can get? Forget the salads and savouries that starred pineapple. This dessert offers some sweet, caramelized pineapple, sizzling off the plate, and served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Here’s something you will definitely enjoy!
