Was in Chinatown and wanted to get away from the bustling of it all. Saw this from the side road and decided it looks good enough.

We ordered:

1. Kobe Beef Cubes - Oily but was tasty, not too dry.

2. Mushroom with Vegetable - It was different and I like it. Most restaurant have Chinese spinach which leaves a strange feeling in your mouth. This comes with asparagus which was nicely pouched with good texture.

3. 3 Cup Chicken aka San Bei Ji - Oily but reasonably good. Taste of basil was a tad strong but ok once you are used to it.

4. Crispy Noodles aka San Mee with Seafood - Quite bland but was acceptable.

Service - It wasn't packed and we were served by different waitress. The person who came to take our order was fine. We ordered a small white wine to share. The waitress who came with the wine and 2 glasses started pouring into my boyfriend's glass and to our amazement, she didn't stopped and poured it to the brim. We were too shocked to stop her earlier. I looked at her and told her errr we indicated the wine was to share and why should there be 2 glasses then? She look flustered and walked away apologising, we ended up pouring the other half of the wine into my glass myself. We were really speechless. She was scolded by the head waitress who told her she should have asked instead but no apologies was offered by the head waitress.

Overall Expereience - Food was overpriced, service sucks

Mouth Restaurant...All talk only, but the food sucks...

It was our second time this year to Mouth Restaurant at Chinatown Point.

The first was when we went for their dim sum lunch. Not bad really. The fillings were generous and the quality up to standard. In all, pretty yummy.

So tonight after walking around at OG, we decided to drop by for dinner. As we were not really very hungry, I ordered the Century Egg Porridge with Chicken Shreds ($4) and my boyfriend ordered the Beef fried rice ($12). To top it off, we also added a Mouth Roast Duck.

My porridge came first. It was alright, but rather flat on taste. Nothing like the one at Crystal Jade. The ingredients were pretty little and the base too watery for my liking. A saving point was the crispy flour bits that they put on top.

Then the Roast Duck came. I was expecting a wonderfully roasted duck steaming hot and crispy. Strangely, they did their own rendition of the roast duck and added some sauce which included a strong taste of cinnamon, star anise and some other herbs. The sauce played down the roasted aspect of the duck and the crisp was not evident. In all, I didn't really like it.

My boyfriend's fried rice came last. It was a disappointment. The beef came in 'bits' minced and fried together. Not pieces of beef. And the taste was also bland.

I was really disappointed with this experience and doubt I will repeat my appearance in the restaurant ever again.

visited the mouth restaurant with a friend after hearing about its affordable pricing of food and its convenient location.

the ambience was ok. very cheena and made me felt juz a wee bit intimidated. but overall still comfortable.

the service staff were very efficient in serving us and attentive to our needs but i felt that there was a slight bias-ness as to how they treated my friend and i as compared to others who came in families or were working adults. =X

but the food was something i was quite impressed with. i mean. the prices that we saw were a bit on the high side. but as it was lunch time. they did offer a lunch menu that was really worth it in my opinion.

there were 6 dishes in all and we ordered drinks on the side. there was chinese tea for my friend and homemade barley for me. nothing fancy.

the first dish was a double-boiled soup-of-the-day. could not really tell what soup it was but it tasted like salted veg with duck and pig's stomach. hmmmz. there was duck meat in the soup and a strong taste of white pepper in it. but nice and hot enough to warm us up on that rainy day. =)

following the soup was a kinda chinese veg (which i have no idea as to the name) in oyster sauce. was very crunchy and a simple dish.

the prawns in garlic sauce followed after and i was pleasantly surprised at the way it was cooked. imagine that the prawns were probably only cooked using water and slit into halves. the minced garlic were very frangrant and were dripped onto the prawns. which means that the prawns still had that freshness to them while the minced garlic complemented the dish. =)

then came the cold dish. hmmmz. something could definitely be said about the order the food arrived in. but ah well. the cold dish was perfect for 2 to share. there were a few peices of the very well marinated char siew. some cold spicy jellyfish. 2 pieces of siew mai. 2 pieces of deep fried har kow. and some pieces of tender chicken served with broccoli dressing. special thanks to jenny the waitress for informing us that the cold dish came with dim sum. hence we need not order more. =)

the main course was served and it was favourite e-fu noodle with mixed mushrooms! =P ha! the wonders of it all. the noodle was a bit sticky. as in they stick together in clumps. but it was not as salty as the rest of those that i have tried previously. and the portion was quite generous for 2. =) yum yum!

to top it all off. dessert was mango sago with pomelo. the pomelo was abundant. really loads of it in the dessert. i could not see much pieces of mango. but the sago and pomelo made up for it all. =)

not too bad a place for lunch. jzu that the price was a bit steep for what we had. =)

Well...this is my first time to visit this restaurant...the restaurant is quite small...but the food was fantastic..it was worth the $....the congee tastes good...but the dim sum was fantastic...the service was also good...the waiter was attentive to our requests...but sad to say it only had two outlets and both of the outlets are quite far from the east areas...but still recommended for family treats...think next time can ask my family for dinner @ there...coz it is affordable and food is good...so if you are wandering where you should dine for chinese cuisine try this place...i believe you will like it...just that the ambience is not that fantasic and romantic...

We frequent Mouth for a low key "comfort food" brunch. It's easily accessible, right at the Chinatown MRT exit but popular on weekends - so come early!

Must tries: Pork and century egg congee, glutinous rice with meat, steamed char siu and prawn rice rolls, fried spring rolls, egg tarts, stuffed bean curd skin rolls.

Downsides: Come too late and they'll run out of their most popular dishes. Also, service can be slow -- not only when busy, but because they're not too efficient at managing the flow and remembering orders.
