Spices and wine are my kind of things, and today I had this craving for a taste from early adulthood days. I recalled this restaurant from Holland Drive area and it appeared that they had moved to their current location.

But I was still very impressed with their XO Fish Meat Bee Hoon (S$12.00 for 2 pax). The milky fish soup was cooked with ground black and white pepper, and XO was added with the already existent yellow rice wine (花雕酒), so you bet the soup is filled with that layers of goodness. I was so tempted to pick up the large bowl to drink the remaining soup, but I guess I should watch my table manners.

The cabbage, just like the thick Bee Hoon, where cut into bite size, so scooping it with the ladle instead of using chopsticks is actually possible. But what I really loved was that they were cooked until softened, making them very easy to chew and swallow.

The fish were chunky and firm, and fried beforehand. Just be informed that some of these chunks might still have hidden fish bones, so consume with caution.
