the bowl is hugeee and the fish is fresh and plump! personally prefer the fried fish because there is more flavour. we got the MIXED FISH SOUP ($11), and EGG W PRAWN ($9.80) which was mid. just get the fish soup

From Hong Yun Seafood
Satisfying seafood horfun with fresh ingredients, decent wok hei.
Generous portions at a local coffeeshop price point.
Good flavor balance, not bad for a quick meal.

Saw it on food directory, so I went ahead to try but the taste was so so. Abit overrated

I like to call Pork Belly with Red Beancurd (南乳炸肉), the porky equivalent of har cheong gai

To create this dish, red fermented beancurd (紅腐乳) is used to marinade the pork belly, enhancing its flavours, tenderising the meat and adding additional moisture. It also serves to 'cure' the pork belly of its 'gamey' aftertaste. Red fermented beancurd which incorporates red yeast rice also gives this dish a distinctive deep red tinge, flavor punch and aroma.

Wok Master's rendition of this dish was a little on the dry and tough side but still savoury!

From Seng Kee 119
The steamed fish head with signature hot sauce was delicious and served in a hearty portion.
Generously sprinkled with fried pork lard.
Definitely worth trying, especially when paired with rice.
A plate for $20 only.

The soup is not too salty but there is a smell in the fish

Homemade tofu is a dish you can find in some but not most tzichar eateries because it is time-consuming and labour intensive to produce them and they are often produced in limited quantities to ensure that they are fresh.

I don't usually mind the slight premium charged (as with all things homemade/handmade) because fresh tofu has a soft silky texture and yet holds its jiggly shape well. It also has a cleaner taste.

Wok Master serves theirs deep fried and topped with mayonnaise and chicken floss, beautifully arranged like petals around a flower. The crust layer is crisp and the tofu interior soft. The combination of mayonnaise and floss cannot go wrong.

I did however feel that the homemade tofu could have been used in a much better way. I mean this is a dish that anyone could easier replicate at home with store bought ingredients without much difficulty and it would taste rather similar... It would have been better off letting the homemade tofu shine by braising it or with a simple sauce.

The curry is tasty and is a mixture of sweet and sour

Seng Kee is popular for their Mee sua Soup. Had always been going to their Kembangan Main branch, and I would gladly confirm that it is just as good here at Kaki Bukit.

Herbalicious and flavourful Soup.

Meats were tender & fresh.

Added some chilli padi, and the soup was damn shiok.

A surprisingly good Zhi Char place.

1) Curry Fish Head- fish was fresh, meat was white and silky smooth. Curry was damn good. Easily 1 of the better Fish Head Curry I ever had. High recommended.

2) Fried Pork - Crispy and flavourful, one of the more popular dishes here at JB 101, came here twice already, and both times also ordered this.

3) La La beehoon
- 1 of the Signature dishes here, the LaLa were fresh and the dish tasted delicious

4) Sambal Sotong
- fresh and flavourful.

5) Sambal Kangkong
- Not bad, flavourful and sambal was not too spicy, garlicky.

Peach Gum Cheng Tng 桃胶清汤

First impression was so many ice cubes. Really need to dig for the peach gum which was in really tiny pieces. No feel.

The meal came with limited edition Baby Hoon Eco-bag and Ang Bao.
