Was doing a staycation nearby, so suggested to the Easties to try Yi Zun for lunch. It's about 12 to 15 minutes walk from the hotel. With weather soaring, it was nice to have a meal in an airconditioned place. The interior of the restaurant was lovely. It wasn't busy yet on a Saturday afternoon as people seemed to be congregating more towards cafes and the newly opened Banh Mi places.

Staff was super casual and friendly. He informed us that we could order via the QR code on the table or just call him over when we are ready.
First things first, we ordered a jug of the sour prune juice (酸梅汤) to quench our thirst.

| Sour Prune Juice @$5++ |
 |
| refreshing! |
We ordered appetisers, a bowl of signature beef noodles and some skewers to try. Staff informed that the skewers need longer time to prepare hence, it is better to order it early.
 |
| Pickled Cucumber 酱黄瓜 @$4.80++ |
 |
| Chilled Shredded Beancurd Skin 凉拌干张丝 @$3.80++ |
 |
| Chilled Pickled Black Fungus 凉拌木耳 @$3.80++ |
 |
| Spicy Beef Tripe 香辣凉拌牛肚 @$7.80++ |
My favourite appetisers would be the pickled cucumber and the spicy beef tripe. Both are so yums! Black fungus was good too but the cucumber was best.
 |
| Signature Beef Noodles 伊尊牛肉面 @$10.80++ |
 |
| thin lean beef slices |
 |
| scissors to cut the noodles |
We chose the thick noodles as the wide noodles either sold out or not available. It was a good choice. The beef broth was clear and flavourful. Mild and not overly seasoned. The noodles were QQ and lovely to eat. If you're used to fattier cuts of meat, then the slices here will be overly lean. However, it provides a good mild taste to the overall dish.
Can add some chili oil provided on the table, to elevate the flavours up a notch.

I was impressed when the skewers were served to the table. Such big skewers! We ordered a variety of skewers; chicken, beef, mutton and lamb chop.
 |
| assorted skewers |
The best skewer was the mutton skewer. Well grilled, juicy meat and adequate seasoning on the meat. Very good! Must order.
 |
| Mutton Skewer 红柳羊肉串 @$3.50++ (per skewer) |
If you prefer something fattier, then go for the lamb chop.
 |
| Lamb Chop 羊排串 @$6++ |
Overall, the signature noodle was a comforting flavourful bowl if you prefer something soupy. The chilled appetisers were good too, especially the pickled stuffs. For skewers, my must eat would be the mutton skewer. So good.
Price is rather reasonable too.
