2 Reviews for “Chopsticks By The Asian Kitchen (One Raffles Quay) ” - Restaurants
108
Happened to be at Raffles at dinner time and we decided to go into this restaurant as it doesn't seems to be too crowded. Indeed, we are the 2nd table of customers in the restaurant.
Deco seems rather pleasing with the theme based on "new China" style.
However we were disappointed looking at the menu as the number of dishes is really very very limited. Luckily we were hungry and our main aim wasn't on trying things.
We ordered "蜜汁鸡" which seems to be a rather common dish. We also ordered "牛腩“ and “春" noodles and red dates longan drink.
The chicken, indeed though tender and well cooked, the sauce is quite normal of soya sauce oyster sauce.
The beef dish is not bad with good cuts of the beef though the noodles seems to be lacking in texture.
My spring noodles is actually 4 types of vegetables toufu. The taste is just normal though I do like it that they do not overcook the vegetables.
The price whether expensive or not depends on whether we feel the food is valued for money. For us, we feel that the price is a bit on the high side.

This outlet is situated at the perfect location, where it is often full for lunch, with all the foreign banks and an audit firm just conveniently located at the building above. But for dinner, the "patrons" are often its own staff.....
I haven't being to the outlet itself for lunch YET. But we had a chance to order takeaway for dinner. I like their dinner service in that they offer me 2 options: delivery with no extra charge, just the normal service charge; takeaway with service charge waived. And the best for delivery/takeaway is that you can place order once, for items coming from both the Chopsticks' menu and The Asian Kitchen (at Republic Plaza) menu. The guy on the phone will help you liase with the other branch to ensure you get all items delivered in one trip (although if I choose takeaway, I got to go to 2 outlets to pickup).
Maybe because we got a fair bit of orders (compared to the almost-dead restaurant), or that it was the restaurant manager/supervisor who took our order, our order came out well despite us being "nasty" to ask that the receipt be individualised and payment (by credit card) be made separately... How many times did he swipe my card, but did not give me black face?
They were also thoughtful to pack my soup-based noodles with separate containers for the dry noodles and for the soup, without any extra charge for the containers.
But I guess it is part of their trick to make you order the sides, we thought the noodles or soup (in the range of $6 to $9) does not seem filling.
PS: I like the Red Bean Milk Tea, which I suspect is a The-Asian-Kitchen-creation, although I know of another not-too-old restaurant which offers this drink.
