Springleaf Taiwan Porridge

Springleaf Taiwan Porridge has been around for years! ever since i've moved in to the place where i now live, i think this restaurant existed already, and it is one of the rare ones that has managed to sustain after all these years. good for it! (: probably has a pretty regular set of customers that come back time and again for some simple heart-warming comfort food. recently, it underwent a renovation and looks really chic now (: on weekdays when it is not so crowded, it is a pretty good place for a relaxing meal (:

my absolute favourite dish at this restaurant is the fresh beancurd with pork floss and sauce ($7). The tofu is silky smooth and chilled just nicely, and the sauce is SUPER TASTY! you don't have to worry about this dish (or any of the dishes in this restaurant for that matter) being plain, because the sauce is ultra rich with flavour, thick and oozy. oh gosh. it's lovely! and of course the pork floss adds a nice touch to this already perfect dish (:

the fried chicken with sesame oil and sauce ($9) is another favourite of ours at this restaurant. the sesame oil adds a wonderful fragrance to this dish, and i love pouring the sauce into my porridge (:

since it is created to be paired with porridge, the friend kangkong with chili & belachan ($7) here is especially potent! now, i love chili, and i would say i have a pretty good tolerance for it, but this is HOT! haha, i love it! (: it gives a really solid kick, but pair it with the porridge because it's really spicy (:

all the dishes in this restaurant have robust flavours that go well with a simple bowl of porridge. and the piece of sweet potato in the porridge tops it off wonderfully.

this is actually the first time i'm trying the chinese pancake with red bean paste ($10) at this restaurant!  i got a shock when the plate arrived on our table - it was pretty huge! :O i was slightly worried about finishing it (after all, it was only 3 of us dining), but i needn't have. it was absolutely delicious, we polished it off easily! :D the crust was flaky and crispy, and there was a generous amount of red bean paste in every piece. this has to be one of the best red bean paste pancakes i've ever eaten! :D
