Hazelnut flavour was very subtle, 3/5.
Early grey was meh, 2/5 I had better.
BB is only applicable to certain flavours so you have to let the cashier know that you’re using a deal.
Fish was amazing, it was light and fluffy even tho it was grilled/fried it was still nice and juicy. The salsa was refreshing as it can get quite greasy still with all the cheese inside. However the portion for it was very small. Can’t wait to go back and try their chicken soup/stew, was recommended by the staff. Their staff was very friendly offered us their sauces and explained it to us. The water in our glasses were never half empty as they were very attentive and kept refilling for us even though the place was half full.
📍Bee Kia Restaurant!
I have known this place since 3 years ago while looking for food around the Novena area, but never got around to try it as it was too far a walk away from office area; not near MRT; and not along the way of my direction to home. Finally tried it during Phase 2 (HA) period! Haha what the irony!
Decided to finally give it a go after seeing people post about it on the hawker heroes FB group. And the plus point about this place - can call ahead to give orders and just go there to collect! They dont have a menu, but you can google / scroll through IG or burpple to see what others are ordering to have a sense of what they sell!
Food that my family tried:
-Har Cheong Gai (prawn paste chicken) ($10 version): This was supposedly the HIGHLIGHT. They are known for this chicken wings and beef hor fan. While it was good, i thought the prawn paste taste could be even more pronounced. So far, the best prawn paste chicken are the ones at Yishun Park Hawker Ah Tan chicken wings.
-Beef Hor Fan (small): Reserve my comments for this as I am not really a beef eater. But my family members enjoyed it!
-Seafood bean paste hor fan (medium): Fret not if you dont take beef, because there are non-beef options for all items as well. Be very specific to order the BLACK BEAN SAUCE horfan for this, if not you may end up with the typical lighter hue hor fan, which is not what you want. Haha up till now, i still cant pronounce the chinese words for BLACK BEAN SAUCE. It just doesnt go into my brain lol
-Fried rice (medium): Load up with carbs! I think there are many different types of fried rice, but we specifically got the ones with prawns and char siew!
Apart from the usual banquet appetisers, the lobster salad and crab ball were quite interesting.

Once in a blue moon indulge in this.
Everything hit the spot, especially the generous and delicious chicken. You can't underestimate freshly fried chicken. There's so much cucumber because I skipped ikan bilis haha.
