Grand Mandarina at New Bridge Road


Another Groupon voucher worth trying for those who enjoys Chinese food in fine dining style. We bought the voucher for $24 with $40 value applicable for all food on the ala carte menu.

The place is posh and waitresses are wearing high slit cheongsums. They were friendly and recommended some of their signature dishes. Today's dinner dishes selected are:

1. Fu Ru fried vegetables
2. Caipu omelette
3. Roasted half chicken
4. Crispy brinjal with chicken floss and curry leaves. 

We were expecting the vegetables to be a little salty but to our surprise, saltiness was well controlled.

Similarly to the caipu omelette, it was crispily fried with the right taste control.

The roasted chicken beats Crystal Jade Kitchen as it is much more tender and skin crispy. Goes especially well with their chilli.

The preserved tomatoes on the side is a must try as it tasted so good. Sweet and sour and it removes the greasiness of the chicken. 

Lastly, the crispy brinjal is nicely fried and coated with chicken floss. Great appetizer snack to try as it tasted like tempura crackers. Awesome! Food portion is generous as well.
