Gu Ma Jia (姑妈家) Celebrates Fifth Anniversary

The homely restaurant, Gu Ma Jia (姑妈家) at Tai Thong Crescent turned five last year and had launched some new dishes as well as a kids’ loyalty program:

I was invited for a tasting back in December to sample their new dishes as well as some of their Chinese New Year specials. Here are the items I tried:

Homemade Yam Ring with Kyoto Pork Ribs (S$30)
Gu Ma Signature Traditional Bean Curd Soup (S$28) – nutritious soup that takes six hours to boil. Ingredients include salted fish head, chinese ham, pork ribs, peanuts and fresh bean curd of course.
Satay Cuttlefish (S$18)
XO Prawn Noodle (S$36) – a classic cantonese prawn dish cooked in XO sauce with noodles
Claypot Pork in Sesame Oil (S$15/23/30) – cooked with chinese wine, tender pork slices, ginger, black fungus and sesame oil.
Lotus Leaf Rice (CNY item)
Herbal Chicken (CNY item)
Ubin Lala Bee Hoon (S$18) – rice vermicelli served with fresh clams
Kai Lan 2 Styles (Yuan Yang) (S$10/15/20)
Sea Coral Jelly with Longan Wolberry (S$5.50)
Auntie’s Dessert (S3.50)

Their 2015 Reunion Set Menu are priced at S$488, S$588 and S$888 with no service charge and GST:

Ala carte items are available too. More details are available via their official website. 

My verdict is still the same as per my previous review – prices are pretty reasonable and you get to enjoy quality zi char food in an air-conditioned environment.

By coming up with new menu items on their fifth anniversary, it also signifies that the restaurant is forward-looking and not one that takes their loyal customers for granted. There are gems among the new dishes, like the surprisingly good Ubin Lala Bee Hoon. The dish does not stand out because of its dull colours and simple ingredients, but was really satisfying to the taste buds. I like the satay cuttlefish dish as well and the nutritious bean curd soup works for Asher.

I will be back for more. 🙂
