JuChunYuan @ Far East Square (聚春园)

Always walked past this restaurant with a rather classy interior, and always wanted to try it. Its a chinese restaurant, and definately needs a big crowd to be there.

Food is Fuzhou chinese food and they are supposedly famous for their "buddha jumps over the wall". Didn't quite like these overtly luxurious dishes so we ordered a few a la carte specialities.. To our surprise, food is very tasty  and rather unusual...and completely unpricy. Its a definate must try...not to mention that the restaurant is done up rather elegantly.


Was especially captivated by the array of teapots, and delicate porcelain ware.

Chicken Soup - This has got to be the best double-broiled chicken soup I ever had.
The chef  stir fried the chicken before setting it in a pot for the double-broiled effect. Very yummy.

Cod Fish & Tofu Claypot - loved the homemade tofu, though the fish and sauce were good but not amazing or mind-blowing. Overall still a good dish.

Tea-mushrooms fried in egg yolk - very very yummy dish and really loved this combination

Hong Zao Pork Rib - the red sauce is a special fuzhou sauce, and tasted very good...but I did not quite fancy the way the pork rib was prepared.

Special Fuhou braised noodles - very very yummy, with the aroma of good rice vinegar

Heng Hua Beehoon - this looks simple and almost unappetizing....but this has got to be one of the best fried beehoon in my entire life. There is a special sauce to give it somme 'ooomph"

Deep fried pork belly slice - tasted almost like you are eating pork chips.....interesting flavours...though I will wanna try their house special - braised pork belly...the next time

Their desserts are good too - Snow Mountain lotus

Mango with Pomela ( Yang Zhi Gan Lu) - this version is lighter with more citrus notes.

Yam Paste - loved this dish , the yam was really smooth and very aromatic, and loved the mini portions compared to the TeoChew Version.

It is  crab season in this resto....but the crabs are pretty pricy...I say: go to shanghai to have Da Zha Xie.
