Chen's Mapo Tofu

I had the opinion that this was a Chinese restaurant by the apparent Chinese name. But it is the sister spin off of Japan's 2 Michelin star Shisen Hanten, who's owner is Chen Kentaro. He partners Chatterbox, whose Chatterbox Express is in the same building - OUE Downtown. 

It is a sizeable portion for a Signature Combo of half Chen's Mapo Tofu Don and half Dan Dan Mien, and for an affordable $11.50. 

The starter of cold Tofu, Chilli Oil and Century Egg was a great appetiser. The Tofu Don was very tasty and spicy. Crushes of garlic spring onion and peppercorns. 

The Dan Dan Mien was a tad of a miss. Too thick, slightly overdone and slimy consistency of which I am not a fan of.
