Salt and Pepper and Sizzling Rice: Green Island

Green Island (9556 Las Tunas Drive, Temple City) is a reliable, fast, and child-friendly Chinese cafe with some Malaysian and Singaporean touches.

We come here regularly with our niece, and she is never the only child there.

Roti canai ($2.99).

Hard to mess up but still not nearly as good as roti canai should be.

Scrambled egg with dried turnip ($2.99).

A simple traditional Chinese comfort food favorite.

Squid with pepper salt ($6.99).

All the bok choy makes it good for you.

Pan-fried radish patties ($2.99).

You must get at least one sizzling rice dish here!

Spareribs in black bean sauce with rice hot pot ($6.75).

Like home in a bowl.

Sweet fried crepe ($4.25).

Sadly, dessert is not so great at Green Island.

You're better off ending with some frozen yogurt a few doors down.

  3. Definitely reliable for sure! I've only seen it improve over the years. I really like their oxtails with lily root, and the pork belly with boy choy isn't bad either.
