A choice for supper hunting as this coffee shop is opened 24 hours and interestingly, it gets crowded after 10pm. This place houses a few popular stalls, particularly Hock Lian Huat Ngoh Hiong Prawn Cracker and Seng Huat Signature Bak Chor Mee with never ending long queues.

As with many ngoh hiong stalls, Hock Lian Huat has an array of the usual ngoh hiong ingredients. But what’s more enjoyable is that the ingredients were not that oily even after frying, unlike some that stain your mouth with oil all over. Especially the white prawn cracker! The first time I had it, to me it was a little under flavored. But I realized even though it was not greasy, there was a lingering aroma that comes through with each bite of the super crispy cracker! Tasted even better with their sweet and slightly spicy chili sauce that has an added nuttiness from the chopped peanuts on top. So good, that I always ended up wiping the bowl clean.

Lastly, I love the fried bee hoon here. It’s lightly fried with soya sauce and a simple dish that brings back fond childhood memories. Can’t describe the taste of it that’s so special which I seldom find it nowadays, but it feels like a simple home cooked dish.
