Tucked in the food street of Chinatown is Yang Gui Fei. Hubby & I discovered this Chinese restaurant during one of our after work hunger pangs. We keep coming back whenever there's a craving for their super tender melt in your mouth Gui Fei Lamb Ribs & my fave Hot & Sour Soup with Dumplings.
China with its many regions have different regional Chinese food. This is not your typical Chinese food stop where you go when you crave for some Sweet & Sour Pork or Peking Duck. There are a few restaurants popping out in Singapore that serves regional Chinese food such as this. So if you want to try a different Chinese food & is adventurous enough, you might want to check Yang Gui Fei out.
We started off with a cold dish of Marinated Hot Spicy Chicken. It's not as spicy as it looks but it gives a good kick & a numbing tingle on your palette. I think it's because of a spice called huājiāo meaning flower pepper & is often called the Sichuan pepper. The sauce is sour & spicy in a good way.
This is one of my favorite among many others. Dumplings in Hot & Sour Soup or what it actually says in the menu Jiaozi Boiled in Sour-Soup. It's a meal on its own, I'm happy just to eat this glorious bowl of dumplings for lunch. If you love hot & sour then you'll enjoy every slurp of it.
Gui Fei Royal Lamb Ribs. Our all time favorite & we crave for it every now & then. Crispy crunch on your first bite & meat oh so tender it melts in your mouth on your second bite. Although I think that the ribs has gone smaller than usual.
Hot & Sour Rice Noodles - This bowl of noodles may not look as appetizing as in the picture but its wonderfully spicy & sourish. The noodles are firm & chewy almost al dente. It's like the noodles have been marinated in the sauce for quite some time that all the flavors just bursts into your mouth. The texture of the sauce can be compared to a much thinner beef stew sauce.
The last bowl of goodness is called Beef Slices in Hot & Sour Soup. Thinly sliced beed in hot & sour nutty sauce (at least that's what I think it taste like). This dish I can do without but hubby seems to like it. We left with happy tummies! All the dishes may all sound the same but each has its own unique taste & flavor.
