Minced Pork Noodles dish at EAT

Nothing could be more obvious than the name of this restaurant - EAT.
So last night, I went out to satisfy my craving for Chinese food. It's the kind of dinner that doesn't require me to break my "piggy bank", basically an affordable good food.

If you stay long enough here in Singapore, you might give me the advice to go to the Hawkers food center and I will take your advice on the majority of the time. However, I also wanted to feel the comfort of an airconditioned environment and so I went to the nearest mall - NEX shopping mall.

EAT restaurant is found on the 2nd level of the mall. The place isn't really spacious, however is big enough to accommodate about 20 to 25 people. It's the type of restaurant where you just come, eat, have a quick chat, and go.

Since my goal is simply to satisfy my craving in the most affordable way - I went in and order the Minced Pork noodle dish.

It's a complete meal with noodles, minced pork, sliced pork meat, braised mushroom, fried dumpling, and some delicious relish. I particularly request the version with "chili sauce" as it elevates the flavor of the dish. I must say that the spice level does actually "packs a punch". It isn't really spicy by local standards but for a person that doesn't really eat spicy food - I consider it to be at a range that I call extreme.

Let's talk about the price, by local standards, it is considered to be quite "expensive" considering the fact that I can find the same food at half the price in hawkers center. However, considering that it's inside the shopping mall - I think the S$5.20 price is considered affordable. And it also comes with a drink!

I would rate the food to be a "good" dish, with the right amount of toppings and decent quality noodles. I also liked that the noodles are perfectly cooked which is still firm and "springy".

It's a satisfying meal ;)
