2 course dinner at min of £14 and max of £20 per person includes desert.
Hainanese chicken rice £18
Orginating from the Hainan province, rice is steamed with chicken stock (no msg), garlic and ginger, and served with steamed chicken in a specially brewed sauce. A home made chilli paste served on the side adds a sweet sour twang to the aromatic flavours of the chicken and rice. Nasi lemak £17 Nasi lemak is fragrant rice, which is cooked in coconut and pandan leaves. This is then served with an array of side dishes comprising deep fried anchovies, omelette, sliced cucumbers and a home made chilli paste that will give you a good run for your money. Steam boat £20 Raw seafood and chicken (or any other meats) served sliced and ready to be thrown into a pot of pre-prepared stock along with Chinese cabbage. Diners pick the ingredients they want and dip them into the boiling stock and ladle them into their bowls once the ingredients are cooked. The soup is thus naturally flavoured without the use of msg. This is usually accompanied with rice or vermicelli. Prawn noodle soup £16 The soup is cooked using rib bones and prawn heads, then ladled onto freshly boiled yellow noodles or vermicelli and served with large prawns and bean sprouts. This dish can be expensive depending on the market price of prawns. Mee goreng £14 A spicy noodle dish fried with fish cake, kai lan (vegetable) and egg. Level of spiciness can vary as per request. Mee goreng in Malay means fried noodles. Ala Carte Satay £8 Chicken, beef or pork pieces seasoned with fragrant spices - different to any satay you'll get at your regular restaurant or take away.
Mixed vegetables £7 Carrots, young corn, celery and other vegetables stir fried and eaten with noodles or rice.
Sweet and sour pork £8 Crunch pork served in a slightly spicy sweet and sour sauce.
Leek and tofu £7
Stir fried leek and cripsy tofu. Suitable for vegetarians.
Singapore chilli crabs (seasonal) £18++ The availability of this dish is dependent on the types of crabs sold in the markets. Cooked in chilli paste, this dish is a hot favourite with tourists and locals alike. It is usually eaten in restaurants by the sea. We're not that close to the sea but the flavour will wow you so much you'll forget about song birds, crashing waves and all that la la stuff.
Thai green chicken curry £8 You've had it at the Thai restaurants, or restaurants that claim to be Thai. We're not Thai but we love food. I'm sure we'll measure up.
Thai mango salad £7
The main ingredient of this dish is, well, mango - green ones. The flavour is refreshing and tangy and offers the adventurous tastebuds something to hang around for.
Thai vermicelli £9 Black pepper prawns £16++ It's just that, black pepper prawns. But the flavour is nothing short of fantabulous. You could eat the shells if you liked because that's how crunchy it will be.
Canton steamed fish £16++
If you like the fragrance that comes from Chinese rice wine mixed with soya sauce. This one's for you. This delicacy usually comes in the form of a sea bass garnished with Chinese vegetables and mushrooms.
** We use fresh ingredients wherever, whenever possible. Giving us advance notice of your intention to dine at Winifred's Rest will help us serve you dinner that pleases you and gratifies us. Availability of dishes depends very much on what the seasons and climates yield.
