Ling loves fishes, whether they’re in live form – like in the aquarium we have – or in seasoned and cooked form. In fact, whenever we’re at foodcourts, she’ll have a list of things she prefers and they’re invariably fish-based: like grilled salmon prepared in the western style, salmon teriyaki, sliced fished with rice.
Grilled Sabas @ Plaza Singapura foodcourt
By far though, one dish that she loves is Grilled Saba prepared in the Korean style, and she had this for dinner just now at the level 6 foodcourt in Plaza Singapura. This is a pretty common dish found in the foodcourts here, although at $5.50 to $6, they’re priced slightly higher than most other meals at these places. Basically, there’s half a Saba sliced right through the fish, grilled and served on a hotplate with sauces, lime, kimchi and rice. I sampled a little of the dish, and I’ll rate it at:
- Food: 4 / 5
- Service: 3.5 / 5
- Value: 3 / 5
- Overall: 3.5 / 5 (Not bad; but one at the Funan centre foodcourt – review upcoming – was better.)
Hong Kong cusine @ Plaza Singapura foodcourt
On my end, I gave a go at lesser-known cusine – a set of rice with minced pork + salted fish cake with ginger strips, served with stirred fried cabbage, egg beancurd and rice, cooked in Hong Kong-ese style (I think). Ling liked the minced pork cake, although I thought the taste was only pretty average. The beancurd was better: fragrant with just the right texture, nor was it too hard. The set was at a low price point at just $3.80, so that offset in no small part its rather mediocre taste:
- Food: 2.5 / 5
- Service: 3 / 5
- Value: 4 / 5
- Overall: 3.2 / 5 (Meal on a budget: eat when you only have $4 left in your pocket.)
