My colleague highly recommended this place for our department dinner last week. All of us were not disappointed. Tien Siang originated from Taiwan and the owner of the outlet here is also a true blue Taiwanese so there is no doubt about the authenticity of the food here.

For the appetizer, we were served this Lotus Root in Salted egg yolk. This was PURE LOVE for me as I simply love anything fried with salted egg yolk. The lotus root was sliced so thin and fried till so crispy then you simply cannot stop at one or 2 pieces. There is also this Salad with Smoked Duck. The veggies were so freshly green and you can hear the crisp in every bite. The duck was also very nicely done and just tender enough.

For our steamboat, we opted for the Ma La Soup and the non-spicy chicken soup. Both soup were a bit too saltish for my more “senior” colleagues but youngsters like me and my other colleagues thought it was OK. They have quite a variety of interesting items like one that is Mushrooms wrapped in Tofu, Fishball with mozerella cheese, just to name a few.

We had the set meal meant for 8pax for the group of 9 of us and we simply cannot finish all the food. Total bill came up to about $400 (we ordered a $88 red wine and other ala carte items) The place is a hidden gem in Robertson Walk and a great place for friends gathering over a nice yummy steamboat session.
