This is a pretty common dish found in the foodcourts here, although at $5.50 to $6, they\u2019re priced slightly higher than most other meals at these places. Basically, there\u2019s half a Saba sliced right through the fish, grilled and served on a hotplate with sauces, lime, kimchi and rice. I sampled a little of the dish, and I\u2019ll rate it at:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Food: 4 \/ 5<\/li>\n<li>Service: 3.5 \/ 5<\/li>\n<li>Value: 3 \/ 5<\/li>\n<li><strong>Overall: 3.5 \/ 5 (Not bad; but one at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.streetdirectory.com\/asia_travel\/search\/searchredirect.php?linkid=19630&amp;travel_id=2904&amp;travel_site=12883\" target=\"_blank\">Funan centre<\/a> foodcourt &#8211; review upcoming &#8211; was better.)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Hong Kong cusine @ <a href=\"http:\/\/www.streetdirectory.com\/asia_travel\/search\/searchredirect.php?linkid=30314&amp;travel_id=6889&amp;travel_site=22936\" target=\"_blank\">Plaza Singapura<\/a> foodcourt<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>On my end, I gave a go at lesser-known cusine &#8211; a set of rice with minced pork + salted fish cake with ginger strips, served with stirred fried cabbage, egg beancurd and rice, cooked in Hong Kong-ese style (I think). Ling liked the minced pork cake, although I thought the taste was only pretty average. The beancurd was better: fragrant with just the right texture, nor was it too hard. The set was at a low price point at just $3.80, so that offset in no small part its rather mediocre taste:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Food: 2.5 \/ 5<\/li>\n<li>Service: 3 \/ 5<\/li>\n<li>Value: 4 \/ 5<\/li>\n<li><strong>Overall: 3.2 \/ 5 (Meal on a budget: eat when you only have $4 left in your pocket.)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ling loves fishes, whether they\u2019re in live form &#8211; like in the aquarium we have &#8211; or in seasoned and cooked form.
