It is ok. Not sure why the hype or the crowd but I definitely have had better versions elsewhere. Tried their signature XO beehoon. For a healthier version, we changed the meat to fish meat instead of fried fish head. The XO flavor is strong and the fish meat fresh, but the soup is just not flavorful enough to hit the spot. San Lou hor fun is a classic (it basically has 3 ingredients only: fish, bean sprouts and hor fun). The version here is decent but it lacks the wok hei. The smallest Prawn paste chicken comes with 8 pieces of the mid section of chicken wings. I didn't like it, the prawn paste is not strong enough and it is too heavily floured to my liking. Maybe the chef at night is better, I was there at lunch this time and pretty sure I won't be back soon.
This is a very authentic Singaporean restaurant with excellent seafood. Its always full of local folks but there is usually a table somewhere for you. If you don't speak or read Chinese and are unfamiliar with the cuisine its a bit tough to order, but worth the effort. There are some pictures and the waiter/waitress are very helpful if you let them assist in your choices. This is a typical Asian scheme where you order a few dishes for everyone and share them around. The restaurant is in the corner of a cute older style building, but its all open to the outdoors. Think patio restaurant/cafe. Ambiance is minimal, but you are right in the midst of local life here and its fun to eat and watch others come and go along Balestier road. I went here the first time with my Chinese boss, now its a regular stop for me when I am in the neighborhood a couple of times a year. This can be a modest price meal or a bit more depending on what seafood you choose. Enjoy a real and tasty local experience.
I used to eat here once a week, but realised that I was piling on the pounds!! I have to restrict my diet to only once a month. Fortunately they are so popular there is little chance of them shutting up shop. Some favourites of mine are the sambal French beans, prawn paste chicken, xin zhou bee hoon, prawn rolls, fish head curry --- there are some many to list!!
