After the ice cream making workshop, we headed for lunch at
Oversea Restaurant which is just next to Tom’s Palette. It has taken over the previous food court.
Hungry me, Tiphanie and Verlyn waiting for our food. There were a total of
13 homemade dishes for us to sample! Oversea Restaurant is a Cantonese restaurant originally from Malaysia and even though the branch in Singapore has operated for merely 9 months, it has left a deep impression on me. The food was really awesome, one more option for me to bring my family here for a meal!
Without further ado, here are the yummy 13 dishes to feast your eyes!
???? Fried Chilli Fish Paste Roll
The sauce tasted somewhat like the one in chilli crabs, super tasty! I ate it with rice and it was sooo good lol. The fish paste roll is extremely soft and chewy.
?? ??? Wok Fried Wanton with Pineapple
Similar to sweet and sour pork, only that they replaced the pork with fried wantons which still retains the crispy texture upon serving.
???? Braised Eggplant with Diced Prawns
I don’t fancy eggplant due to it’s slimy texture. Though I’d prefer it to be cooked with sambal chilli.
????? Wok Fried Crispy Sliced Pork with Bitter Gourd
Was quite amused by the description “??” lol! The meat was so tender and juicy. I’ve eaten bitter gourd that are extremely BITTER but this one wasn’t.
????? Stir Fried String Beans with Minced Meat
I thought the string beans were ??? but I was told it wasn’t. Anyway, this dish reminds me of the one my mum always cook. Only difference is she would add dried shrimps instead of minced meat heh heh!
?????? Deep Fried Carp Fish
Tender on the inside and crispy on the outside! The gravy complements the entire dish perfectly.
?????? Steamed Chicken with Salted Fish
Extremely succulent and tender chicken thigh meat. I love how they added lots of shredded ginger and chilli. As the Chinese saying goes, ????????
??????? Crispy Fish Fillet with Lemongrass and Grapefruit
Wish I had ate this but I didn’t get to try this dish at all :(
????? Yong Tau Foo with Deep Fried Beancurd Skin
I’ve always loved soups and this is no exception. It tasted really sweet, refreshing and all the essence is in the soup!
?????? ???? Sweet Potato with Beancurd Skin
You know sometimes when you cook potatoes it’s still hard on the inside. But the ones here were really soft and the gravy was fully absorbed by the potatoes. Super yummy!
????? Claypot Tomato Egg
Tomatoes, good for the skin! Look at that eggy goodness oh ma gawd~
????? Braised Beancurd with Meat Balls
Only managed to take a bite of the meat balls, they were really good!
????? Braised Pork Soft Ribs
Not sure if I got the name right. The soft ribs/bones literally melts in your mouth and the carrots and potatoes were really sweet.
????? Caramelized Char Siew
The legendary char siew, a must order if you visit Oversea Restaurant. Apparently, it’s so popular that you must call in advance to reserve it. The exterior is coated in malt candy and roasted to perfection, very different from the usual char siew we ate from hawker centres. The meat was extremely tender and nice, I don’t feel guilty eating it at all lol.
??? ???? Sesame Dumpling
Was quite surprised that it came in dry form. Look at the sugar glistening on the dumplings like pearls.
The total bill only comes up to about $203! That’s like only $20 per pax. Each dish only costs about $9.80 to $12.80, extremely affordable!
Spotted the char siew hanging near the entrance of the restaurant lol!
