I had been craving this. I thought the rice came with the skin, but no, I had to buy separately. Firstly, the chicken rice was very good. It has bones but a lot of meat. Secondly, the skin was mad crispy, albeit nothing special.
Light curry, tender chicken and tofu puffs that soak up all the flavour. Thick bee hoon slurps easy and the sambal adds just the right kick. Nothing fancy, just a comforting and familiar bowl I’d finish without thinking 》$6.50
Queued a while post-lunch but everything’s made fresh so the wait felt worth it. Tang yuan beancurd was silky and light, with chewy, black sesame and peanut balls. Brown sugar boba soya milk was creamy and refreshing, with surprisingly chewy boba. Great alternative to BBT when it’s blazing out.
✨ Special flavours to look out for:
• Pandan beancurd
• Black sesame beancurd (Saturdays only)
Tang Yuan Beancurd 》$4.40
Brown Sugar Boba Soya Milk 》$3.50
Tried the regular bowl with sushi rice, salad base, shoyu salmon and mentai salmon, plus chuka wakame, corn, cranberries, tobiko, and pickled daikon. Everything felt nicely balanced and not too heavy.
The roasted sesame dressing added a nutty, creamy finish that tied it all together. Portion is decent and flavours are clean.
Service was a little slow even on a weekday afternoon, so best to cater a bit more time if you’re heading over during lunch 》$18.90
Smooth mango purée topped with fresh diced mango, chewy rice balls and fun mango pearls. The rice balls give a nice bite, while the pearls pop with sweetness, making this dessert refreshing, playful and really easy to enjoy 》$7
The prawns are tender and coated in a rich, creamy spiced gravy, while the chicken is bathed in a velvety spiced tomato‑butter sauce that’s full of depth and flavour. Paired with the warm, fluffy garlic butter naan, each bite is satisfying with the naan soaking up the gravies beautifully to complete a hearty feast.
Prawn Butter Masala 》$20
Holy Butter Chicken 》$19
Garlic Butter Naan 》$5
A classic pale lager with subtle citrus notes, mild bitterness and a touch of grainy sweetness. Crisp, refreshing and easy to drink.
[CHINATOWN, SINGAPORE] Yet another great find at Hong Lim Market! If you are a fishball noodle lover like me, you are going to love this one 🤤 I ordered the medium size portion of $6 and it came with 7 sizable fish and meatballs!
They specialise in making handmade fishballs & meatballs, and I must say they are definitely a notch above the rest. The texture of the balls are delightfully bouncy, with the meatballs definitely much meatier. Both are well seasoned and were not too salty. The soup itself has an old school flavour, but can be a little too salty! If possible you can let them know you don't want the preserved salted vegetables.
I actually love their noodles more, as they nailed both the texture and flavour. The noodles were satisfyingly chewy, with a bite that was really inviting. It was well seasoned with chilli that isn't too spicy and the amount of vinegar used was just right as well. I really can eat alot of the noodles by itself 😍
Ate this for lunch, and I was telling my colleagues that I can eat this for the entire week without a problem 😆 Note that this original Hong Xing does not have any other outlets, and their quality would not be represented by the other "outlets" you may find online!
