Alishan

This place is located along upper serangoon road going towards Kovan mrt just before the church. I used to eat there more often in the past as i felt that they had a lot of variety and the food was not bad also. Over the years i think the standard has dropped a little.
I think they sell a lot of noodles and rice and porridge, such as those china noodles like zha jiang noodles, wanton mee, lor mee and more. I think they are more famous for their porridge but i don’t like to eat porridge in general thus i think it is just of average standard.
Service was really bad. The lady boss is sometimes there and i hate the way she speaks to customers, just because they have ‘good food’ and are popular doesn’t give them the means to be proud. Would not go back there again.

Despite it being a Taiwan Porridge place, I like to order the beef stew and tendon hor fun. The noodles are cooked just nice and the beef stew is very tasty. The meat is tender and just falls apart in your mouth.
The sauce also clings nicely to each mouthful of noodle you take, making it a very enjoyable eating experience. For $ 7 a plate, I think its quite worth the money. It may seem abit pricey at first but each mouthful somehow reassures you that its money well spent.
Of course they also have the selection of porridge and dishes, and I particularly like the chilli clams.
