I'm addicted to Tibetian food

For half a year now, my wife and I have been going to a Tibet Restaurant in East Coast Road for dinner at least once a week. When the restaurant was first open, there were a number of girls dressed in traditional Tibetian dresses outside the restaurant to greet the customers. Inside, the place is decorated with maps and wall hangings from Tibet. At first my wife was a bit hesitant to try Tibet food since it was her’s first time…actually, it was my first time too. We were getting bored of eating Singaporean hawker food such as chicken rice, fried kway teow, yong tofu, etc.


The restaurant sells, traditional tibetian food including dumplings, meat and vegetable dishes, fried noodle, fried rice and soup. Our three favorite dishes include – a plate stir-fried dou miao, ziran mutton and xiang la rou si (a pork dish fried with shredded vegetables and chile). The dishes have a sweetish, hot/spicy taste to them.

We like eating there (besides from the delicious food) is because the place is quiet and clean, the services is fairly good and fast; the portions are very large, the prices are pretty reasonable and we’ve never had to queue for a table. We usually spend between $25-$30 each meal including drinks. One time, we ate there with a group of eight, ordered around 10 dishes with drinks and spent less than $100.

The disadvantage of the resturants is the location – it is sometimes difficult to find car parking and there are no MRT close to it. Parking on the streets will cost you 50 cents per 30 minutes. Also, the restaurant only accepts cash payments.
