Tasty China (锦绣中华) is a new restaurant located on the ground floor of Beauty World Centre. It is only few months new in the shopping centre.
The restaurant's kitchen and service counter occupies a shop unit and the dining area is outside the shop on the concourse. There are a couple of tables inside the shop too.
Tasty China partners with iPOT Mala Tri-Pot (麻辣三锅) — its main outlet is in Paya Lebar Square — to serve mala hotpot. The restaurant also serves traditional breakfast set, steamed buns, dumplings, noodles, grilled skewers (after 5pm) and also Chinese cooked and cold dishes.
The Chinese-style Braised Beef Ramen (红烧牛腩刀削面) uses handmade knife-sliced noodle in flavourful broth with beef brisket and greens. The ultra-tender beef brisket is not pure meat but consists partially of soft tendons too. The broth has a wonderful aroma from the spices used and is mildly spicy (chilli can be added to taste separately). It is tasty dish not to miss.
The ice jelly (冰粉) is a Chinese dessert from Southwest China, not the typical Taiwanese dessert iced aiyu jelly (爱玉冰). The refreshing transparent jelly has chewier texture and is served on ice with dried raisins and black sesame seeds. The dried raisins are the main sauce of sweetness for the dessert.
Tasty China's coffee-eggs-toasts set is nice for breakfast. The kaya-butter toasts are lightly toasted and is crispy on the outside and soft inside. The spread of kaya and butter are just enough to cover the thinly-sliced toasts without too much of them. The minced pork buns (鲜肉发面竹笼包), served in set of 4, have fresh and juicy fillings and are not very big. The combination of toasts and buns make a full breakfast or brunch — their buns run out fast, especially on weekends.
Tasty China's cooked dishes and grilled skewers and iPot's mala hotpot seems tasty too, I will try them in subsequent visits — if I can resist the beef noodle.
