VILLAGE TAVERN
30% off on appetizers and salads

Village Tavern

Grilled Prawn Avocado Salad
Habana Mexican Style Grilled Corn
Blackened Shrimp

It was a first time for me to try a salad with Avocado on it. I was used to Avocado as a dessert. The salad was quite refreshing to me and because avocado is really my favorite. So put it on anything, I'll eat it! :) It has freshly romaine lettuce with taco seasoned shrimps, avocado, tomatoes, red onion and nacho strips tossed in taco dressing. I am a bit biased but I also loved the Habana Mexican Style Grilled Corn with Mexican smear and Feta cheese. It was cooked well so no reasons not to finished it off! Bayou cream sauce was really distinct on the blackened Shrimp, reminds me of the rich sauces in Malaysia.

Krazy Garlik menu are good with garlic's on it hence the name. I was a bit surprised that I liked the menus served because I am not really a fan of garlic, not when its cooked.

The restaurant that I enjoyed on the 2nd day of food run would be Bulgogi Brothers. I loved everything that was served and didn't limit myself on just tasting them. I thought the Beef Bulgogi Salad was sweet but it was a little sour which was ok with the combination of the greens and the sides. I love the sides, I have to taste all of it! The Tofu Steak was what I really liked the most. I loved the combination of the sprouts with it.

Well, I thought I already had my favorite resto in a day but I'm afraid I'm wrong when we came to Modern Shanghai. We were served with their amazing dumplings! The Steamed Shrimp & Pork Siumai was good but didn't consume much because I'm afraid I can't go on to the last stop anymore. Ha Ha Ha. It was my first time to taste the Xiao Long Bao, and it was really good! The soup at the very bottom makes it more awesome! But the star would be the Steamed Buns with Egg Yolk! It was the best thing ever! Definitely would come back for that one!

The Nachos are deep fried tortilla chips covered with rich cheese sauce, chili and pico de gallo that needs to consume immediately to prevent sogginess, served with fresh salsa.
