Had dinner with irene and chris on a Monday when she drove. hehe. This restaurant is known for its peranakan dishes hence I'm rather surprised its still around after so many reviews of the hefty prices. We ordered 4 dishes to go with the famous olive rice.
Looks good on appearance, but the ingredients are downright pathetic. Chris counted and only found 6 small pieces of mutton in the curry. They seemed to have counted the number each person can eat. It used to taste much better, its ok now. A pity that the portion is so small for this price.
Bai Ling Gu Mushroom with Vegetables $16
Justifiable by the number of mushroom slices given. It tasted good with rice.
BBQ Tofu Skin with stuffed mushrooms $16
Missed this dish a lot since kingsland closed down. This used to be the "must-order" dish in the previous jin shan ge. However, they have it at The Whole Earth. It is basically BBQed shredded mushrooms wrapped in Tofu skin. I love it. However, it is kind of sad that the serving is small too.
Battered Oyster Mushroom $15
Hmm, sauce was kind of wierd, its supposed to be thai, but after I came back from thailand, I can hardly taste the thai taste. The mushrooms are well fried though. Irene commented and still love the ones from loke wor yuen.
Olive Fried Rice $6
As mentioned earlier, the olive fried rice is famous. Hence we ordered 1 to share. Serving is not enough for 3, but ample for 2. Hence, if you are cost saving, you may just order 1 dish and 1 rice, that should be less than 30 bucks.For desserts, we ordered Euryale Seed, which tasted rather blend. It looks like barley, and is said to have very good digestive effect.
All in all, the ambience of the restaurant is quite contemporary and clean. Food wise, good if you feel rich.

Called 麻辣豆腐 in chinese. However, it is not spicy at all, hence suitable for all. I love it as there are a mix of button mushrooms and straw mushrooms, blending well into the spicy bean paste. You may just have this dish alone with rice.
The abalone mushrooms are mixed into a special batter and deep fried till golden colour. Then, it is served piping hot with grinded cereal. I love it as it is really crispy, and is comparable to the one sold at Lao Di Fang (Middle Road)
The Dou Miao is not over-cooked and tasted really fresh. I hardly find dou miao in most restaurants but am glad to eat it here. Also, I find it quite unbelievable that they do not have our usual sambal Kang Kong available here. All the vegetables are stir fried. Hence, you might want opt for a non-spicy veg here.
The only mock item i've ordered for the day is the sweet & sour pork ribs. Not too bad, but I did not adore too much of the mock meat. 
We ended lunch with sweet desserts. As they have 3 types of desserts (Black Sesame paste (hot); Mango Pudding & Almond Jelly) available, We order one each to try, and all turned out to be a sweet surprise, as they are able to bring out the desired taste.
