Lunchtime quickly rolled around while we were studying in a cafe of the River Mark plaza on Saturday. Looking for a quick fix before resuming our studies, we made our way across the street to try out Yan Can Cook restaurant.
It actually wasn't that long ago when Martin Yan was a much celebrated chef, with his own cooking show that was being broadcast around the world. If you are clueless about who he is, you probably have heard the catchy slogan of "If Yan can cook, so can you!", which is Yan's most famous phrase.
Still no idea? Here's a clip for ya
Anyway, enough about the Chef. Let's get back to the food. One feature of the restaurant that stood out is that every dish can be made vegetarian, which is an awesome news for the vegetarians. So we ordered vegetarian Kung Pow tofu, Sichuan spicy tofu and Melaka curry tofu.
Maybe it's because we are Asians, we tend to hold higher expectation for Chinese cuisine, Yan's cuisine is a little too Americanized for our liking. But if you would like to taste some quality Americanized Chinese cuisine, Yan Can Cook is certainly a decent choice.
