Reasons being:
1. I felt bad having everyone wait while they were salivating at the food.
2. I like to eat it hot like mum always orders.
3. Everyone was starving.
4. The food smelled so good we couldn't resist.
5. The lighting was poor.
6. My hp camera didn't do a good job(because I didn't bring my other camera).
These are really not excuses. Especially when everyone is starving, I can't be 'styling' the food and taking my own sweet time to find the best angle for the perfect shot. However, having picture-perfect-not pictures gives me an excuse to revisit the place if the food is worth recommending.
Two Chefs Eating Place is definitely one of the places I'm revisiting for better photos because of the first four reasons.
As the name suggests, this eating place was opened by 2 brothers from Ipoh. I didn't get to meet either of them but the auntie who served us was very helpful and friendly. As it was our first time here, K & I pretty much left the menu to W. Commonwealth Drive sounds like a complete foreign country to me.
To start off, the cold cockles were really good appetiser. Soaked in some garlic and chilli padi laced vinegar and wine sauce and sprinkled with spring onions, the cockles were fresh and juicy. For extra kick, eat it with the chilli!
Another must-try is their signature Butter Pork Ribs. The deep fried pork ribs were covered with their golden magic powder and curry leaves. The powder is actually milk powder fried with butter and other secret ingredients.
The pork chop to be exact was tender and very fragrant. However, the meat hardened when it turned cold. Slightly sweet but savoury in general, it reminded me of cereal chicken. Best part was, it didn't taste porky at all. Thumbs up!
The Three Eggs Spinach is something I was introduced only a years ago. The first time I tried it was at a Cantonese cze char place along Keong Siak Street. And I later discovered Dian Xiao Er's really nice. This was a bit bland and too watery(which K preferred because he doesn't fancy salted egg).
The Golden Mushroom Tofu though another signature dish, wasn't a favourite of mine. The homemade tofu was buried in the Enokitake and swimming in a brown gravy. The tofu was smooth and nice but perhaps the overall taste was too expect. I much prefer the good old hotplate version complemented with egg.
We wanted to order Herbal Prawns but it was sold out! Auntie recommended Pepper Salt Prawns which turned out nothing like what the name suggests. It was wet and sweet. :( The prawns were however, fresh. :)
The bill totalled up to $58 for 4 persons. Good food at great value! I'm definitely going back with my friends.
