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.
You might hesitate before paying for what is essentially tofu cubes, but I feel that the price is affordable for the quality of food that you’ll be getting here.
Definitely worth travelling to Downtown Gallery on Saturday just to eat it.
Overall, I think that Chen's Mapo Tofu will be a hit. The concept of rice bowls and the affordable pricing fits the bill perfectly for the office crowd in the CBD area.
I thoroughly enjoyed the idea of combining both Sichuan and Japanese flavours into one dish, and would definitely revisit this place outside peak hours.
Chen’s Mapo Tofu is a good addition to the OUE Downtown Gallery. The restaurant is spot on for its pricing, awesome food and good service. We will return for sure.
Chinese food with a light Japanese touch is definitely an interesting change from the usual food options, which would appeal to the nearby CBD working crowd.
