If you love ox tongue, you need to make a beeline for Deli's Kitchen at Sunshine Plaza. If you have never tried ox tongue and are willing to get out of your comfort zone, this is the right place to start.

Trust me and go for the ox tongue. The Ox Tongue Steak (from $17++ for 100g to $41++ for 250g) is lightly salted and left to steep in a secret marinade, the details of which the restaurant's co-owner, Mr Tan Min Li, 51, refuses to divulge.
