Tze Cha @ Commonwealth

Restaurant Name: Two Chef Eating Place
Place: Commonwealth
Address: Blk 118 Commonwealth Link / Crescent
(See below for direction)
Features: Butter Porkchop, Prawn Balls, Slice Fish, Cockles
USP / Must try: Butter Porkchop 奶油猪扒



Description: Stall is full house when we reached there at about 8.15pm. Reasonably as it is a sat and seen people waiting for tables too. When we finally got ours, we ordered 4 dishes - Butter Porkchop, Sambal Kang Kong, Slice Fish with onion and ginger and You Tiao. Cooking is efficient and we waited less than 15 mins before all the food ordered are served.

Butter Porkchop is a must try, pork chop cut in thick slices soaked in what seems like powderly butter. It is something like Cereal prawns except that it is pork and butter is used instead of cereal. The first bite is fantastic and butter melt once it is in your mouth, giving off the intended aroma and taste. Combined with the porkchop, the taste is just superb. If there is just one dish you are allowed to order, die die must order this. Guaranteed you will not regret.

Rest of the 2 dishes are also above average except for the You tiao which the mayonaise is a bit sour for certain reason.

Comments: Serving is generous and we ordered all small except for the Kang Kong for all of us kang kong lovers. It is enough for 5 person to have a decent meal.

Direction - Okay, direction here could be a bit complicated as even when you are at Commomwealth Link / Cres, there are 4 Tze Cha stalls at each corner of the market. Therefore, to identify the correct stall, it is the one at the end of the one way road (commonwealth link) and the junction of Commonwealth Crescent.

Price - Very value for money. All meat dishes are $8 for the porkchop, fish and you tiao for small and Sambal Kang Kong is $8 for medium. Total damage for 5 pax: $35.

Tip - There is a very nice cheng teng in the market level 2. You can pack the cheng teng from the market to consume as desert after the meal.

Rating: 5 / 5 for the butter porkchop and 4 / 5 for the rest of the item.
Must try the porkchop and worth to give it a try for all other dishes.

Update 3 Aug 08
Just went back to the stall again and some other dishes. One dish to highlight is the satay prawns. The satay prawns is a crispy yet not oily prawns on a satay stick. The prawns ar cooked to a certain way that the whole prawn is crispy. You can basically eat the whole prawn if you like to without removing any of the shell.

Also tried watercrest soup and the fried rice, both above average standard.
