OJT EATS | The Eight

It was back down to Earth (well London) with a bump this week. Weirdly though, after having spent so much time in Asia, despite have some pretty major cravings for good authentic non-Asian, we found we weren't actually completely tired of Asian food and went for a stroll down Chinatown. We got peckish and ended up walking into The Eight.

Being a Cantonese diner, we had to get the roast duck and crispy roast pork belly. While the roast duck wasn't quite up to the standard of our favourite place in London (that's the Four Seasons just around the corner in Chinatown), it was still very good and the pork belly was pretty impressive too!

This was a seafood rice dish with an omelette on top. The egg was pretty tender and not rubbery which it often can be. There was a good amount of prawns on the plate and the whole thing came with a pretty tasty sauce. This was a pretty good dish and not a bad option if you are looking for a simple and quick meal.

Lastly, this was The Eight's signature sandwich. The bun is a pinepple bun and in it, there's spam, cheese, an egg and a bit of veg. I have to admit, I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. We don't eat spam very often but every now and then, it can hit the spot.

All in all, this was a pretty enjoyable meal. It still didn't quite match up to what you can get in Asia, especially on price but when you're craving a cantonese diner meal, you could do a lot worse than coming here.

The Eight, 68-70 Shaftesbury Ave, London W1D 6LZ

Cheers, JL

A diner who had finished brunch at a Cantonese restaurant called the waiter over to question the bill. 

"I can read the costs of all the individual items we ordered, but the total amount I owe is so faint I can't read it," the diner complained.

"But sir," the waiter responded, "you specifically requested the dim sum."

Yu Sheng (鱼生) or Yusang in Cantonese, meaning “raw fish” in Chinese, is a salad dish comprising thinly slicesd raw fish and various seasonings that are mixed together as diners toss the ingredients. It is a dish usually eaten during Chinese New Year. Traditionally a simple dish with few ingredients, the yusheng recipe has evolved over the decades and now comprises a wide variety of ingredients. Our second yusheng for this Lunar New Year is a small serving of Grand Fortune Abalone Yusheng (S$49.90++) from White Restaurant. In line with the coming Year of The Rabbit, this yusheng comes with an auspicious rabbit ornament.

Today, the common form of yusheng is the 七彩鱼生 (Seven-coloured Raw Fish salad) served in local restaurants during the Chinese New Year period. Also referred to as 发财鱼生 (Prosperity Raw Fish Salad) or 新年鱼生 (Chinese New Year Raw Fish Salad), this colourful take on yusheng was said to be created in the 1960s by chefs Lau Yoke Pui, Tham Yui Kai, Sin Leong and Hooi Kok Wai, together known as the “Four Heavenly Kings” in the Singapore restaurant scene.

The ritual of eating yusheng during Chinese New Year involves all the people at the table tossing the salad and uttering auspicious phrases. The dish is deemed auspicious because of the homonymic meanings behind its ingredients, which suggest blessings and good fortune for the new year:  鱼(Yu) is a homonym for “fish” and “abundance”, while 生 (Sheng) means both “raw” and “life”. Together, yusheng implies “abundance of wealth and long life”. In the Cantonese dialect, the dish is known as 捞起 (Lo Hei), where “lo” implies “tossing up good fortune” and 起 (Hei) means “to rise”, again a reference to a prosperous business and thus its popularity with businessmen during the new year celebrations. The ingredients of yusheng vary among restaurants, and one such recipe is presented below along with examples of auspicious phrases that may be uttered as each ingredient is added.

Step 1: All at the table offer auspicious greetings.

Words: 恭喜发财 (Gong Xi Fa Cai - Wishing you wealth and good fortune) or 万事如意 (Wan Shi Ru Yi - May all your wishes be fulfilled).

Step 2: Add fish, which symbolises abundance or excess through the year.

Words: 年年有余 (Nian Nian You Yu)

Step 3: Add pomelo over the fish for luck and auspicious value.

Words: 大吉大利 (Da Ji Da Li)

Then dash pepper over the ingredients for greater prosperity and fortune.

Words: 招财进宝 (Zhao Cai Jin Bao)

Pour oil, circling the ingredients to symbolise the multi-fold increase of profits and to encourage money to flow in from all directions.

Words: 一本万利 (Yi Ben Wan Li) and 财源广进 (Cai Yuan Guang Jin)

Step 4: Add carrots to the fish, indicating blessings of good luck.

Words: 鸿运当头 (Hong Yun Dang Tou)

Then place shredded green radish on the fish, symbolising eternal youth.

Words: 青春常驻 (Qing Chun Chang Zhu)

Next, add shredded white radish for prosperity in business and promotion at work.

Words: 风生水起 (Feng Sheng Shui Qi) and 步步高升 (Bu Bu Gao Sheng)

Step 5: Add condiments. First, sprinkle peanut crumbs on the dish, symbolising a household filled with gold and silver. As an icon of longevity, peanuts also symbolise eternal youth.

Words: 金银满屋 (Jin Yin Man Wu)

Sesame seeds follow, symbolising growth in business.

Words: 生意兴隆 (Sheng Yi Xing Long)

Add deep-fried flour crisps in the shape of golden pillows, with wishes that literally translate to mean that the whole floor would be filled with gold.

Words: ���地黄金 (Bian Di Huang Jin)

Step 6: All at the table stand up and toss the salad an auspicious seven times with loud shouts of Lo Hei (捞起) and other new year wishes.

Action: Mix ingredients by pushing them towards the centre, which is an encouragement to push on the good luck to all at the table. Some may lift clumps of the salad as high as possible to symbolise the increase in good fortune.

This Yu Sheng (鱼生) only came with five small pieces of abalones so we enhanced it with an additional can of baby abalones. When we are ready to toss, we found out that the restaurant had mistakenly given us two containers of oil instead of one oil and one yuzu sauce. Without the sauce, there is no sweetness, so sis quickly juiced a couple of Mandarin oranges to replace the forgotten sweet sauce. Overall, not a satisfying eat due to the lack of a crucial condiment.

AYCE dimsum

1st of its species in Edm .. AYCE dimsum @ Top One.

Located on Whyte Ave, this restaurant used to be a Korean/Japanese fusion place.

I came to this place for lunch on a Tues in mid-February. To be exact, I came on Feb. 13. From my knowledge, a lot has changed since my visit. Therefore, I will only be sharing my experience here (maybe at the end I'll share what I heard from my coworker's experience, which was 2 weeks after mine).

Okay, 1st off. I got this picture menu. I think this was suitable & useful.

The 2nd piece of paper. Also laminated, this is the ordering sheet. It has the table number as well as the check-out time. When they 1st opened, it was 2hr limit. When I went, that became 90mins; however, the lady said bcos it wasn't busy, they gave extra 20mins, which was 110 haha still not the full 120min but. .. that's the most you could get :P

Their system was actually very efficient. When I heard AYCE dimsum, I had assumed it was the traditional 'pick up whatever you want' from a communal area with steamed dishes. That was NOT it, at all.

So what did happen was. .. we filled out round 1 on the sheet. The staff lady would take the sheet into the kitchen & prep the stuff (& bring out the items as they're prepared). Once the order is complete, they will bring back an empty order sheet.

Of note, there were some minor ordering details. ..

I'm sure you see the wastage fee in the upper right corner. Keep that in mind.

& also, the lady told us that during busy times, tables of diners can only max 5 items per person per round of ordering. For instance, if you have a party of 2, during busy hrs, the 2 of you can order max 10 unique items (doesn't matter the quantity of each one; they only care about unique items). The reason for this was to ensure every table gets something, & the kitchen isn't just prepping your order.

Waiting for our round 1~ It's really unlike a dimsum restaurant haha

Took some time to see the back. The interior is same as before when it was the Korean/Japanese place. (I've been here once)

I don't know much about their hot pot but it's by weight & only available during dinner service. The AYCE dimsum service, at the time of my visit, is available all day (till they close). Of course, you can't order both kinds of service at your table. Everyone has to only do dimsum OR hotpot.

The standard: shrimp dumplings & the siu mai.

The siu mai was good; decent size, flavour was good. Freshly steamed. The shrimp dumplings - not so good even though also freshly steamed.. The dough/wrap portion was kind of stiff. The filling was alright though.

Ribs: good. Looks sad but you can always order more. I didn't eat chicken feet.

Xiao long bao was mediocre. I think you gotta be reasonable for certain things. For AYCE where I expected to just grab from a table, these were freshly steamed when the order sheet comes in so I felt it was decent. Also, the lady said they order from a supplier for most things so . .. I mean, it's not really the restaurant, it's the supplier. I think the xiao long bao is better than the store-bought frozen ones but lacking compared to other places. The beef ball, I didn't have bcos it contains the dried mandarin peel stuff, which I dislike in meat balls.

Pan-fried rice rolls. Okay, this was good as is but misleading in terms of what the name suggested. Pan-fried rice rolls should have a bit of the umm. .. well, evidence of pan-fried-ness lol these were pan-fried but VERY slightly. They lacked the crispy edges. But, like I said, flavour was good (just simple soy sauce) & the rice rolls were soft, so I don't particularly have anything to complain about. Just. .. didn't match what I expected.

Now this one is the steamed plain rice roll. This was legit like the Cantonese stuff that I've had in the motherland, which was pleasantly surprising. This kind of plain rice roll is essentially a large sheet & it steamed/scrunched up like this. Unlike the typical steamed rice rolls you see in dimsum restaurants in Edm (the ones that contain some sort of filling, whether it's BBQ pork or beef or shrimp). I REALLY liked this! It had no flavour on its own but it comes with peanut sauce. Each table also has chili sauce & soy sauce so you can customerize your 'flavour'. I chose the ribs juice from above & soy sauce.

Deep fried shrimp wontons: 10/10!

The curry squid. .. okay, they brought out a 'cold' one in error. They were really nice about it when I told them that it was cold.

The hot "ready" one; I give .. 8.5/10. Honestly, I think it was actually good to realize they do steam things fresh. Like that 1st dish of curry squid was literally... not ready.

Round 2!

Pan-fried shrimp cake & chiu chow dumpling. I don't like this kind of dumpling so I didn't commit to any lol the shrimp cake was not bad. It had a lot of shrimp but also a lot of vegetables. I've never had shrimp cake like this before.

Pork + century egg congee. This was delicious!!

Wonton in chili oil. We ordered 2 just for trying purposes but got 5. We would've kept it if we liked it but ended up sending 3 back into the kitchen (didn't want to pay wastage fee when we didn't even order that many). The wonton was good but the sauce was not. I had imagined it was like. .. a diff chili oil. This was chili oil mixed with red vinegar - it's a northen Chinese thing, I later found it. Had that Szechuan numbing spice in there. I just wasn't a fan but. .. maybe you will be!

Wings were kinda dry but pretty good; flavour was 'original' haha ie: salt. Spring rolls = no good. They were the grocery store frozen kinds & contained mushy vegetable inside.

Soy sauce chow mein. GOOD! Freshly made & you can smell the wok-smokiness.

Eggtarts . .. 8/10. Others have high standards for egg tarts but for me, my biggest thing is the filling. Not the amount, not the ratio with the crust . . just the flavour & texture itself. I dislike egg-y ones & ones that are too sweet. This was not bad but the texture was not as smooth as I would have liked it to be. May have been over-baked. But otherwise, the crust was okay. I also dislike flaky crust lol & this one wasn't very flaky.

Coconut jelly. It was alright. Refreshing, that's for sure.

Osmanthus jelly & mango pudding. The jelly was really not my thing. The texture was weird! & I generally don't like floral-y things. The mango pudding though. .. 10/10!

Alright, so what my coworkers experienced. .. they also went on a weekday for lunch, when it wasn't busy but they were given a strict 90mins. It was enough for them so they didn't mind. Plus, they didn't like the food so they were looking forward to leaving :( they had a smaller menu (like maybe 33% smaller than mine) that was presented on an iPad with some items being unavailable, which made the list even shorter! They also said they paid more than $23.88/person. Altogether, more expensive with fewer food options & strict time limit . .. & 'bad' food. Now I feel terrible for recommending. But hey! When I went, it wasn't like that =(

Asian cuisine is celebrated worldwide for its bold flavors, diverse ingredients, and rich culinary heritage. From spicy curries and delicate sushi rolls to savory dumplings and aromatic pho, each region of Asia offers unique dishes that have captivated taste buds globally. Let's dive into some of the best Asian food dishes, covering flavors from Japan, Thailand, India, and beyond.

1. Japanese Cuisine: Sushi, Ramen, and More

Japanese food is known for its elegance and freshness, often featuring seafood and rice-based dishes. Sushi is one of the most iconic, made with seasoned rice, fresh fish, and seaweed. Japanese ramen has also gained massive popularity worldwide, with its rich broth, chewy noodles, and variety of toppings such as eggs, pork, and vegetables. Don’t forget tempura—crispy battered vegetables and seafood, which make a light and delicious side dish.

2. Thai Cuisine: An Explosion of Flavors

Thai cuisine is famous for its balance of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy flavors. Pad Thai is one of the most well-known Thai dishes, combining stir-fried rice noodles, peanuts, bean sprouts, and often chicken or shrimp in a tangy sauce. Another favorite is Tom Yum Soup, a hot and sour soup with shrimp, lime leaves, and chili peppers, known for its refreshing, citrusy kick. Thai curries, such as the green and red varieties, are also must-tries, each with a unique mix of spices and herbs.

3. Chinese Cuisine: Dim Sum, Noodles, and Beyond

Chinese cuisine offers incredible variety, from spicy Sichuan dishes to Cantonese dim sum. Dim Sum is a beloved tradition, featuring a wide array of bite-sized dishes like dumplings, buns, and rolls. Peking Duck is another highlight, famous for its crispy skin and tender meat, often served with thin pancakes and a savory hoisin sauce. And who could forget Kung Pao Chicken and Chow Mein—both are staples in Chinese restaurants worldwide.

4. Indian Cuisine: Bold, Spicy, and Full of Flavor

India’s cuisine is known for its complex spices and vibrant dishes. Butter Chicken is a favorite, featuring tender chicken in a creamy tomato-based sauce. Another classic is Biryani, a spiced rice dish with marinated meat or vegetables. Samosas and Chana Masala (chickpeas in a spicy tomato gravy) also showcase the bold flavors of Indian street food, often enjoyed as snacks or appetizers.

5. Vietnamese Cuisine: Fresh, Light, and Healthy

Vietnamese food is celebrated for its fresh ingredients and light, aromatic flavors. Pho is one of the most iconic Vietnamese dishes—a comforting noodle soup with broth, herbs, and beef or chicken. Banh Mi is another popular choice, a sandwich filled with meats, vegetables, and herbs in a crispy baguette. Vietnamese spring rolls, both fresh and fried, are also a delicious treat, often served with dipping sauces.

6. Korean Cuisine: Savory, Sweet, and Spicy

Korean food has grown in popularity thanks to its dynamic flavors. Kimchi is a staple—spicy, fermented cabbage that's eaten with almost every meal. Bibimbap is another fan-favorite, a rice bowl topped with vegetables, meat, a fried egg, and gochujang sauce. For barbecue lovers, Korean BBQ is a unique experience where diners grill their own meat at the table, often enjoyed with a variety of dipping sauces and side dishes.

7. Malaysian and Indonesian Cuisine: Rich and Spicy

Malaysian and Indonesian food blend influences from Chinese, Indian, and indigenous cultures. Nasi Goreng, a flavorful fried rice dish, is a favorite in Indonesia, often served with shrimp paste, eggs, and vegetables. In Malaysia, Laksa is a popular choice—a spicy noodle soup with coconut milk and seafood or chicken. Satay (grilled meat skewers with peanut sauce) is also widely enjoyed across both countries.

8. Filipino Cuisine: A Unique Fusion of Flavors

Filipino food is a blend of Spanish, Chinese, and indigenous flavors. Adobo is a beloved Filipino dish, usually made with chicken or pork marinated in soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and spices. Another popular dish is Lechon, a whole roasted pig that's crispy on the outside and tender inside. Halo-Halo is a must-try dessert, made with crushed ice, sweet beans, fruit, and condensed milk.

Conclusion

From the complex spices of Indian curries to the fresh simplicity of Japanese sushi, Asian cuisine is as diverse as it is delicious. Each country brings its own traditions, ingredients, and cooking techniques, resulting in an unforgettable dining experience. Whether you’re a fan of spicy, sweet, sour, or savory flavors, there’s something in Asian cuisine for everyone to enjoy. For food lovers eager to explore new tastes, the world of Asian food offers endless possibilities.

National Egg Roll Day

National Egg Roll Day rolls around on June 10 every year. Whether brown, white,  free-range, or organic eggs, this deep-fried finger food can have it  all! Although similar to Mainland Chinese spring rolls, the egg roll has its contents wrapped in a crispy, thick, egg-dipped pastry, making the  cabbage, meat, and other ingredients of the filling extra scrumptious! With its Asian heritage, egg rolls have found their way into every Vietnamese and Chinese-American restaurant, and thus, into every American’s heart.

History of National Egg Roll Day

Established  in 2019, in honor of the founders of Van’s Kitchen, Van and Kim Nguyen, National Egg Roll Day is a relatively new food holiday. Van’s Kitchen began in Dallas, Texas, in 1986, with the Vietnamese-themed restaurant, representing the beginning of the family’s pursuit of the ‘American  dream’. Like many other immigrant families, Van and Kim came from Vietnam with a passion for sharing their culture through food,  especially their authentic egg rolls — consisting of shredded cabbage,  minced meat (usually pork), bamboo shoot, onions, and a variety of other  freshly ground spices all blended into one delectable filling. They strive to maintain the quality of their egg rolls by using only the  freshest ingredients.

Although the origins of the dish are  unknown, it may be traced back to Southern China’s Cantonese cuisine. However, many Asian countries also lay claim to having different  variations of the humble egg roll. According to Andrew Coe, author of  “Chop Suey: A Cultural History of Chinese Food in the United States,”  the modern-day egg roll was most likely invented in New York in the 1930s. As compared to the ancient Southern Chinese traditional rolls, Americans have been consuming egg-roll-like food since the mid-1800s.

The distinctive American-style egg roll recipe was first published in 1938  by chef Henry Low, one of the two contending chefs who vie to take credit for popularizing the dish. Despite its short history, the typical  egg roll we see today has stayed true to its crunchy, soft, savory origins, and just the thought of it has us drooling and reaching for the nearest takeout menu.
