Food here has always been consistently good since I started eating here as a kid. The yusheng, which was 1st created here in Singapore in 1964, still tastes the best! The Imperial Pork Ribs, chickens, Yam Baskets, Venison Hor Fun are all signature dishes. Prices are very affordable.

Lai Wah is an institution in Singapore for classic Cantonese food. Always good place to come for old fashion comfort food like crispy skin chicken, venison hor fun, yam basket. Pretty good place to have lunch on weekdays as it is not so crowded

3 of us went for lunch lately on a public holiday. The 红烧豆腐 was flavourful and what a good Cantonese cook would prepare. However, 11 $ for that small dish was over priced. The 烧鸡was my favorite, it was moist inside and the skin crispy yet not oily. The meat tasted nice. As it was a public holiday , half chicken (sorry not a big bird) went for 20$!!!!! Wa ! The 港篜红斑 finally came after we almost finished the earlier dishes. The sauce was dark brown and starchy. I questioned the waitress if it was 港蒸。 I have never seen done in such a way in the past 60 years. as you guess it right, it did not taste right . to our surprise, she came back after checking with the chef. They have indeed 2 ways preparing 港蒸 and offered us to redo the fish. We were very glad about the after sale gesture and gave full mark for it. The second version came some minutes later. The sauce ,not starchy, but still very dark. The taste was not what we were looking for. worse to come, the fish was over cooked and rough with a bit of fishy taste near the belly. overall, we were let down by the fish and the slightly high cost. but we like the chicken. If I go again, will just get the fried chicken at the current promotion price of 10 $ for half chicken during weekday. Not sure how long the promotion will end though.

Went once on sat & another on weekday for dinner during the CNY. The food was served very quickly. Highly recommend the pork rib, & salted egg squid. The craypot tou fu was also yummy, nicer than their specialty tou fu. The yam basket was ok but a bit dry. Didn't like the sambal long beans & ladies fingers. Califlower with brocolli was so so. Good service, the hot tea (compulsory) was top up constantly. Though a bit noisy due to the false ceiling & layout of the place, but it's ok when it comes to good food.
