Contrary to the name, Singapore Chinatown, does not serve Singaporean food and the owners are not Singaporean. Nevertheless, we were game to try any good Asian food.
Salt and Pepper Spare Ribs
This is a favourite at amongst everyone and SCT does this dish very well. The spare rib pieces are juicy and tender whilst the coating is nice and crispy. The oil they use is quite fresh too and does not make the breading soggy. They serve it with fried onions and this gives a nice aroma. 3/5
Roast Pork with Beancurd and Mushroom
Sizzling Japanese Tofu
Honey Pepper Beef
When this dish was served, I was surprised by its stark contrast to what I imagined it to be. Covered in a dark rich honey sauce, it tasted very sweet and the red meat was nice, tender, and juicy. Some may say it is too rich, but mix it with rice and the flavours become quite balanced. If you enjoy sweet meats, this dish is a winner. 3.5/5
Deep Fried Salted Egg Yolk Battered Squid
This actual dish is not on the menu, and you have to request it. Nonetheless, it is done exceptionally well at SCT. The squid is cooked well, while not becoming too chewy. And the egg salted egg yolk batter encapsulates the squid completely giving a great balance of flavour and texture. The egg yolk is very salty and has a starchy texture, which may be mistaken for flour. But be assured, this dish is superb. 4/5
Sago
Quite a simple dessert that was given to us “on the house”. A mixture of fresh coconut milk, sago, watermelons and rockmelons served chilled. Definitely a refresher after that hearty meal. 3.5/5
So nothing has changed after their re-opening, which is good thing as the food they serve is still great and in large portions. This place is good eating if you like to dine with friends without breaking the bank. I assure you that everyone will leave satisfied and full.
Entre $5
Mains $10
Dessert $4
BYO
Expect to pay around $10-15 per head for a great meal.
V^3 Gives Singapore Chinatown Restaurant 3.5/5.

Well said Mikey.
Might I add that the panel of tasters for this particular review were Mikey, Pete, Jimbaland, The ToeknCow and last but not least, Lady Dianabol.
A most excellent selection of tasters indeed.
