Miao Yi Restaurant

Lunch at Miao Yi with family on Sunday! Parents needed to deliver some goods nearby hence the decision, hehe. Didn't really mind anyways, because the food from there is awesome! As per normal, the restaurant was crowded when we arrived but we got a table eventually without having to wait for long. 

We had our orders taken when parents arrived, and we ordered quite a lot for a family of 5. There were just too many dishes which we wanted to try!! :p

Munched on yummy appetizers before our food was served. The 'vegetable archar' was awesome! Mommy was totally inspired by it and made the exact some dish during dinner at home. It was just assorted vegetables in vinegar and sugar. yums..
Shortly after, food was served!! :D


Dish #1- Roasted pork (our must-order on every visit to MY!)

My guide to eating vegetarian roasted pork 101!

The roast pork was so crispy and fragrant that you can mistake it as real pork! Complemented with the lettuce and cucumber, it gets rid of the oiliness and jelat-ness of the fried pork. Remember to add some sweet sauce and chili to further enhance the overall taste of the wrap. We had at least 3 wraps each!!


Dish #2- Mapo Tofu

The silky soft tofu was complemented by the slightly spicy and flavorful sauce. The spices used in the sauce was real fab!


Dish #3- Hotplate Venison

Sadly, the hotplate venison was not well-received by my family. It was too oily and a lil tough to chew on. Understand that it the grease was to prevent the sticking of food to the hotplate.. It wasn't an awful dish overall, just not quite to our liking i guess...


Dish #4- Sambal Kang Kong (our must-order dish #2)

Needless to say, the sambal kang kong was really fragrant with wok hei as it was being stir-fried on hot wok over high heat. Yummy!!


Dish #5- Sweet and Sour Pork

This is a fail proof dish as long as the sauce is well seasoned. and true enough, the sweet and sour pork at MY did not disappoint us! the sauce was appetizing with a balanced taste of tartness and sweetness to it. Also, we were totally fooled by the pork as it texture and taste was really similar to the real thing.


Lastly, we ordered a bowl of Ginger Rice each to go with all the savory and delicious dishes shown above. The ginger rice was super awesome too! It tasted like chicken rice because of the ginger taste!

The soft and fluffy rice went really well with our dishes!! It's akin to the combination of cookies and cream! So good!!! 

Family enjoying

And within 30 minutes, we had everything polished!! Yeah, my family eats really quickly!! haha 

Bloated and happy after a satisfying lunch!! 

We carried on with our normal routine of going down to the supermarket for groceries and Delifrance!!

And nope, our day did not end there!! we headed to somewhere else which I would blog in the next entry!! BB! 

Oh, and wishing everyone a Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!! Eat lots of mooncakes and pomelos and have a great reunion with your family! The actual day is supposed to be tomorrow but my family will be celebrating it in advance today. Excited!! :DD
