Singapore｜First Culinary Restaurant

Authentic way of serving the food. Everything tasted great. Love the Zhen Jiang Pork Ribs, sweet and flavourful with tiny pineapple cubes. Brinjal was good too. Chilled herbal jelly dessert was loved by the elders. Staff are on the ball, alert and responsive even during the lunch peak hour.

It's one of my family's favourite eating places. Granted, they're not cheap, but the service is great, and the food just as good! We've come here on several occasions, and have never had a bad experience, either with staff or the food! The staff come by every now and then to ask if we're ok, and if we need anything. How can you fault such service? The food... For the myriad of dishes we've dug into on their menu, these come to mind. The Guiness Stout braised ribs. Not like the usual sweet ones we've gotten accustomed to, but almost like an oyster-sauce braised taste with fall off the bone meat! Their Claypot eggplant sizzles as we pick them up, and melts as we pop each morsel into our mouths! Wasabi deshelled prawns. They don't smother their crispy battered prawns with the sweet tangy sauce, but instead cover each one sparingly just enough to taste the sauce, but not enough to overwhelm the battered delights! Oh yes! Did I also mention, the batter was thin and crispy, and gave the prawns the right amount of crunch without stealing the thunder from them! All's Good here, and like I mentioned earlier, it can get pricey, and on crowded evenings, a little noisy too, but like my Dad used to say, 'Good things don't always come cheap!'...

Great food at a great price! Good services and the portions are big. We order a set meal for 10 and celebrated a birthday there and they gave us complimentary “longevity” buns. Do call in advance to o form them if you are celebrating birthday. The Peking Duck is commendable but I forgot to take photos.
