Dinner at Soup Restaurant, United Square

Last week, I decided to venture out with Joshie to United Square shopping centre. I had intended to buy him an Elmo soft toy at Toys R Us. However, this particular store was very dusty and dirty. There were boxes of toys on the floor and Joshie who's allergic to dust sneezed a few times. When we finally walked into the soft toys section, I was appalled to see a bunch of Elmos on the floor. Changed my mind about buying Elmo, after all he already has many toys and it's not a necessity to own an Elmo just because he'll be watching the Sesame Street concert. Moreover, Haley's mom had offered to lend us her Elmo hand puppet, so I'd just graciously accept her kind gesture =)

So we walked around a bit before finally settling down for dinner. Actually wanted to eat Western, either Jack's Place or Bakerzin, but both of us were down with diarrhoea. Must be the breakfast that we ate. Since rice is a natural remedy for diarrhoea, we headed to Soup Restaurant.

Here's what we had:

Beggar bowl rice with steamed chicken. The rice was a tad hard but the chicken was very delicious. Meat was very tasty and tender.

And claypot tofu. This was not what I expected. To me, there's always vege (some carrots, mushroom or beans), chicken/prawn meat together with the beancurd. However, this dish only came with a few tiny pieces of sea cucumber. Nevertheless, it was very tasty although a tad sweet (maybe too much oyster sauce)!

Joshie enjoying his food. He was picking up pieces of chicken to eat.

Soup Restaurant has many outlets in Singapore. You can check them out at www.souprestaurant.com.sg. We have tried their soup before and they were good, you wouldn't feel thirsty after drinking them.
