An adaptation of their signature pumpkin prawns. Although we didn't get their plump crustaceans, the generous and well-fried chicken made up for it. The sauce was fantastic as always, but as always was less pumpkin and more butter.
For stellar zi char, head on over to this popular zi char stall at Serangoon Garden Market. They have quite a cult following, and has the Burpple community's stamp of approval. Take Tastemaker Nobelle Liew's lead and order the Pumpkin Sauce with Butter Prawns ($12), a dish she declares as her favourite among the rest she tried. While it may seem pricey for four balls of prawns, she assures you that each prawn's actually pretty big, crunchy, juicy and fresh. The winning touch however has to be the sauce. Tastemaker Nobelle describes it to be "creamy and luscious, yet retaining a tad of the characteristic sandy mouthfeel root veggies have; sweet yet still slightly savoury, with a tinge of curry spice." We're sold. While you're here, also consider the Pork Knuckle ($18), which is truly value-for-money. This rendition offers a lot of meat for that price (a fraction of what most restaurants would charge) and the skin sports a good crisp.
Avg Price: $15 per person

The pumkin prawns is a must order dish at this popular zi char stall at Serangoon Gardens Market. It is so yummy!
้็่พ a.k.a. Pumpkin Sauce with Butter Prawns. Seems pricey at S$12 for 4 balls, but each prawn's actually pretty big. Crunchy, juicy and fresh too. The prawns are coated in a light and thin batter, tasty and surprisingly not at all oily. The pumpkin sauce though: that was the bomb. It's creamy and luscious, yet retaining a tad of the characteristic sandy mouthfeel root veggies have; sweet yet still slightly savoury, with a tinge of curry spice. I don't care what else you order, but if you visit please please please don't leave this out.
Was browsing the @burpple app for their guide on tze char places in Singapore and decided on Siang Hee, which was conveniently located near office. We struck gold with their Butter Prawns with Pumpkin Cream Sauce ($12). Prawns were huge and sauce was at the right consistency and coated thoroughly. Their other dishes such as the Marmite Pork Ribs were outstanding too.
