Zi Char 🔥

Surrounded by trendy cafes and bars is a Zi Char place that serves solid Cantonese fare at Keong Saik Road.

Their signature Big Prawn Hor Fun’s thick, eggy and mildly spicy gravy resembles the familiar chili crab sauce. Packed with umami, this hor fun is #messydelicious and the prawns are big and de-shelled for you.

Be sure to come early to get a table and avoid disappointment.

Another crowd favourite is the Claypot Yong Tau Foo. The fish meat sandwiched between the brinjal and slathered with the savoury gravy is very flavourful.

Trio Egg Spinach is my go-to vegetable dish and this one does not disappoint. It is light and the stock has a subtle sweetness to it.

Another dish worth a mention is the Mixed Platter. It features their unique Mingzhu Roll, homemade prawn rolls and you tiao. Sinful deep-fried goodness in a plate.

I recommend coming in the afternoon for lunch as it gets quite crowded at night. Very crowded. But very satisfying.

I had been to this Zi Char place a couple of times and felt that this place is really worth a mention.

One of the signature dishes is the moonlight Hor Fun. Stir in the egg yolk to have a silky smooth hor fun filled with Wok Hei. Arguably one of the best hor fun in Singapore. I will always order this dish when I am here.

Tze Char for routine family dinner. This is one of my favourite Tze Char places. The medley of dishes deserves your attention.

You can tell from the photo that I absolutely LOVE Yam Rings and this one does not disappoint . ($18)

The Curry Fish Head is rich in flavour and the gravy is the perfect accompaniment for the rice. ($25)

Strong in flavour, the Cuttlefish Kang Kong makes me want to eat my greens. ($18)

The highlight of my meal was definitely the Har Cheong Gai. It was crispy and well marinated yet not too salty. Yummy! ($15)
