Had dinner at Gu Zao Ren and it was a satisfying old-school zi char experience overall. The caipoh hor fun was comforting and well-executed, with a nice wok-fried aroma and savoury cai poh that added depth without being overly salty. The oyster omelette had crispy edges with a soft, eggy centre, and the oysters were fresh and generous. We also enjoyed the baby kailan with scallops, the vegetables were crunchy and not overcooked, while the scallops were tender and naturally sweet. The prawn paste chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy inside, with a fragrant har cheong flavour that wasn’t overpowering. To round things off, the salted egg pork ribs were rich and indulgent, with a creamy salted egg sauce that coated the ribs evenly without being cloying. Overall, a solid spot for hearty zi char with good flavours and decent portions, great for group dinners or family gatherings when you’re craving comforting Chinese classics.
