Review: Ginger Moon

I am ill-equipped to write this review, as I forgot to get the bill back home with me (as usual). But still, why not give it a shot. Also, my opinions here maybe biased (I am not saying which way ;) ) as I was treated here and the cheque did not go through my pocket. Forgive me, if they are.

Ginger Moon is a Chinese joint in Khan Market with a Singaporean Soul. I don't quite get the connection, except that both the cuisines belong to the land of (quoting Jack Clueso) little yellow people. As far as the food goes, its not exactly state-of-the-art gourmet, but I believe they have something to cater to everyone's needs. If you go looking for the traditional Chinjabi food, you'll find it here. And if you go looking for some nice authentic Chinese with a Singaporean touch, you'll find it here too. The place is done up tastefully, though jam-packed with tables, so don't expect it to be a Veda. Its quite famous in the neighbourhood so might be better to book the table in advance.

First up, their Jasmine Tea is quite good. If you are fond of it, you'll surely like it here. However, its not complimentary, although pretty cheap. For the starters we had Spicy Hunan Onion Veg which was passable. But their Ginger Garlic fried rice, was very good, flavourful and done to perfection. For the main course we ventured into the Singaporean zone which has a separate section dedicated to it. Although I don't quite remember the name (see why I said I am ill-equipped?) it went something like "Spicy Chilli Bean...". Basically it consisted of a bed of quite different noodles with mixed veg in a slightly sweet sauce. It felt as if the whole thing had also been roasted in a pot for a few minutes. All in all, it was one of the best dishes I have tasted recently.

Ginger Moon is a mixed bag. Order wisely and you'll end up having a good time. As for the prices I would rate it as not expensive and quite VFM. I would surely recommend this restaurant, mainly because of lack of better options around.
