Roland Restaurant

Roland Restaurant was one of the 4 most famous Chinese restaurants in Singapore, along with Red Star and Lai Wah if i'm not wrong! (: i have no idea which is the last restaurant which completes the quartet though! :P since we were in the east on sunday, we decided to pop by Roland for dinner (: haven't eaten there for quite a long time! but the one thing that stuck in my head since my last visit was that their rice is of super high quality!!! seriously! i had never tasted such nice white rice before! this time when we went to the restaurant, we didn't eat rice (because we ordered hor fun instead), but i'll never forget how the rice was just so fragrant and tasty just on its own. :O

doesn't it look pretty? (: first dish we ordered were the salad prawns! crispy prawns slathered with sweet mayo, on a bed of honeydew and cucumber, and BEST OF ALL, topped with fried/roasted walnuts! this dish was really awesome! (: i loved it dipped in the chili provided as well (:

i don't really know what this dish was called, but it's like mini xiao bai cai, in this really yummy sauce-soup base and topped with huge chunks of grilled garlic. the sauce was superbly tasty, and very nutritious. i was so tempted to drink it all up xD and the grilled garlic on top was nicely crunchy and tasty. forget garlic breath! :P

i was somewhat disappointed with the sweet and sour pork here. considering it is such a common dish, which typically tastes good everywhere, i would have expected more from such a good restaurant. Sadly, i felt this dish was just mediocre. the chunks of pork seemed rather hard, rather than crispy.

the beef hor fun was saucy and fragrant, and this is probably one dish that is difficult to go wrong (: the slices of beef were nice and tender!

i've missed orh nee for the longest time!!!!!! every time my family went for dinner at a restaurant with orh nee, i was somehow not around and wouldn't get to eat it ): this time, i finally managed to eat it yay! (: but...it was a bit disappointing >.< the yam paste itself was nice, but because it was in some sort of corn sauce (which i don't really like!) so it didn't really appeal to me xP

anyways, i enjoyed my meal at this restaurant! and i'll be back, again and again! (:
