This Hong Kong eatery is located at Casuarina, along Sembawang Road. The boss is originated from Hong Kong and he is always ready to greet his customers, chatting with them in his strong Cantonese accent Chinese. It is like the usual Cha Chaan Teng in Hong Kong as they serve mostly the Cantonese fare. A lady came over to take our orders upon seated. Their Beef Brisket Noodle ($5) is a must-try which I ordered together with their Wanton Noodle ($4.50), Carrot Cake ($4) and Chee Cheong Fun ($4).
The Beef Brisket Noodle consists of a good portion of nicely cooked thin noodles with a few chunks of braised beef brisket with just a piece of tendon. The beef was quite lean but rather soft and flavorful. This is still one of the best Beef Brisket Noodle that I have tasted in Singapore. The soup that came along has got a distinct dried shrimp flavor like those that I tasted in Hong Kong.
I have recently tasted a really good Beef Brisket Noodle from Lao Jie Fang Braised Beef Noodles at Mei Chin Food Centre. I also got to try the same dish from One Mouth Noodle at Yishun Park Hawker Centre which I did not quite like it.
The Wanton Noodle was good though not amongst the best that I had tried. It was served with a few slices of char siew and 3 pieces of wanton. The char siew was slightly tough but the wanton was good, the tasty filling was in a thin layer of wrapper. My dining companion said, "I would come back for just the wanton."
My dining companion did not like the carrot cake though. He said, "I could taste a bit of OX sauce in it but the texture was too mushy, it will be nicer if it is firmer."
The Chee Cheong Fun was unexpectedly good. It was steamed then pan-fried before serving it in a pool of sauce, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped spring onion. There are 3 types of fillings for selection, the char siew, the prawn and also the filling. We ordered the char siew and we enjoyed it.

ReplyDeleteI don't like. I going to give it 2/10. Reason, I've tasted better one. Unfortunately it closed down last month as the place got renovated. Theirs the beef is braised in a sauce that's not too salty. This one is too salty.
I still give it a 2 as they tossed the noddles in lard. Other places toss noodles in lard too but here it has that aroma which other places lacked.
The chee cheong fun also disappointing. It was paired with an ordinary sauce too.
There are really not many good beef brisket noodles around. Other than this one, the one at Mei Chin Food Centre is good and the other was already closed Master Tang. Most of the others in Singapore cannot quite make it.
