Qing Shan Dao 青山稻 is a Chinese and Japanese fusion-style eatery that offers rice bowls, noodles and mini hotpot sets. A place that offer no GST and service charges in Grantral Mall at MacPherson. Hearing this, you may be worried about the price point but their rice and noodle sets are all priced under S$15.
One of their popular dishes is Kabayaki Eel ($12.90), which looked a lot like Japanese unagi don at first glance. You get a bowl of short-grain rice topped with marinated eel, onsen egg, a wedge of lime, and shredded seaweed, along with a miso soup, and a side of salad. It was apparent that the eel was fresh, deboned and grilled eel that’s marinated with a sweet soy sauce. The eel flesh was so soft that could mix it with the remaining ingredients, and have it like a Japanese mixed rice dish.
Fans of sour-spicy combination can get their Golden Sauerkraut Fish Noodle ($8.50) AKA suan cai yu. Each bowl comes with a handful of noodles, corn, bok choy, bamboo shoots, and pickled vegetables submerged in a mildly spicy and sour soup. If you’re not into seafood, there are other options available such as Curry Fried Pork Cutlet, Grilled Chicken Thigh and Wagyu Beef Combo.
