Ate at Chengdu twice and I keep coming back for the 干煸肥肠 ($22.80)! It’s not gamey at all and not that spicy, but spicy enough for a good kick!
Been here thrice and I love the food (and the extensive menu) here! The most recent set meal I’ve ordered, Steak Moriawase Set ($56.80) was greatly satisfying given the amount of food that came in the set. There are three cuts of meat in this platter and all tastes great with the sauce pairing (I chose Yuzu Pepper and Ponzu). I preferred the Wagyu and the Canadian Sangenton Pork more, so I would definitely order those sets during my next visit!
Be sure to order Ama Sake Cocktail ($5) too, it’s a very refreshing drink, not overly sweet and contains less than 0.5% alcohol! I tried White Peach flavour one, will be back to try the rest!
Citrus Fling was good. The thin film on top is Slate’s homemade lemongrass candy, not sweet but the lemongrass flavour could be a little stronger?
Not a fan of the vegan brownie as it was paired with nuts and was quite dry.
Citrusy and easy to drink! Good for palate cleansing as we had ordered mostly meaty main courses to share.
Tangy slaw on the side was great for cleansing palates between each bite. Coffee Beef Short Ribs tasted a little too bitter for me, and the meat was a little dry too.
It’s quite heavy on the tongue when eating it plain, so pairing it with ciabatta made it a little better. I would skip this if you are thinking of trying other main courses.
This pork belly is grilled to perfection! It was not too greasy as it’s paired with a vinegar dip. Very fragrant, a definite must try when you come to Slate for dinner!
Salmon tartare was nicely seasoned and tasted citrusy, perfect pairing with with squid ink sago crackers!
Company catered bento Nasi Ambeng for lunch! Love their bergedil and sambal belcan, extremely spicy but shiok!
Very cute bite size tapas on toast.
Clams were fresh, but I’m not a fan of this paella because of the peas and the squid ink rice.. My bf loved it though, so I guess try it and find out?
Used Burpple Beyond and redeemed a 1-for-1 beverage. Very nice of the barista to ask if I wanted sugar for my iced matcha latte, but the matcha powder was clumpy towards the end of the drink as it hasn’t dissolved yet. Iced white was great!
