Monday post-CNY tze char dinner with BB — tze char dinner on 13/02/2019. Casual Chinese tze char sharing.

We ordered:

The retrospective posting (Monday Feb 18 about Wednesday Feb 13) — proper delayed sharing.

Singapore tze char (煮炒) tradition:

• Casual Chinese restaurant format
• Wok-fried multiple dishes sharing
• Affordable mid-range pricing
• Family-style eating
• The proper “Singapore Chinese sharing meal” identity

Standard tze char dish categories:

• Vegetables (stir-fried with garlic / oyster sauce)
• Seafood (proper wok-fried prawns / fish / squid)
• Meats (sweet & sour pork, char siu, salt-baked chicken)
• Tofu / eggs (mapo tofu, omelettes)
• Soup (proper Chinese soup)
• Carbs (fried rice or fried noodles)

Singapore tze char specialists:

• Keng Eng Kee Seafood (multiple locations)
• JB Ah Meng (Geylang area)

The post-CNY tze char dinner format provides proper “return to regular eating” tradition. After elaborate CNY family reunion meals, the casual tze char represents proper “normal social dining” return.

Overall: 4.7 / 5. 😋👍🏼 Solid post-CNY tze char dinner. Would re-do.
