Lunch at Imperial Herbal & Sinchi Tcafe

Met Serene for lunch at Imperial Herbal and Sinchi Tcafe at Vivocity. Before we decided on this place, we were spoilt for choices and stared at the list of restaurants at the information counter for a good 5 mins. Finally, we made up our minds to try the food here.




Very bright, good ambience, they have mandarin pop piano pieces playing in the background which makes dining even more relaxing


The restaurant is very spacious, tables are far apart from one another and its good for diners who want privacy


Nice "traditional chinese medicine" corner


The chairs here are very unique. Very comfy. And can you tell what the shape of the chair is?


Here is another view of the chair


We started our meal with this "compulsory" pickle dish


Condiments were readily served once we were seated


This is Serene's choice of coup. Some beef tendon soup. Its yummy, like beef noodle soup, but thicker.


This is my soup. The eight treasures soup. So so only.




This is very delicious. The Spring Onion Pancake. A Must try!


GuoTie or dumpling. Nicely pan fried. Fragrant crispy skin. Good!



This is the Cold Salted Duck. A tad too salty. A little too cold. Not recommended.


Seafood fried rice. Prawn is not fresh, but rice is nicely fried, very fragrant.
