This is still one of the better choices for Lor Mee, my kind of comfort food.
A great alternative to the OAR stall where the waiting time is considerably shorter. Prices are slightly higher for this casual restaurant as compared to the hawker stall, with a pleasant air-conditioned dining environment which I am not complaining.
It’s almost no surprise given its Michelin plate accolade as well as storied history—it being run by a second-generation owner who started assisting in running the business since he was 13 years old.
So if you’re craving for the nostalgia and taste of charcoal steamboat, check out this stall at Whampoa Market.
There's always a queue and they do fish head steamboat at night which I've gathered is pretty popular.

Yeah, it was good, with delicately fried piping hot pieces of fish, quality noodles, and a broth that was savory enough for me to drink to the last drop.
This is certainly one of, if not the best, fish soup that I’ve tried.
Recommended by ieatishootipost. Greasy, soft and slippery char kway teow, full of garlic and wok hei. A bit old school – less sweet, and more savoury and a bit chao ta. Steady stream of customers immediately after it opened. Not bad, although I felt the taste was bit one dimensional. I probably missed the sweetness.
It might not be the best Fried Kway Teow but it definitely has got a certain standard.
Overall, Cafe De Hong Kong is here to bring your traditional Hong Kong cuisine. The food is delicious and comforting, but don't expect five-star restaurant standard. Definitely, a must try place if you are looking for Authentic Hong Kong Cuisine. Cheers!!
On the menu, there are several singular dishes perfect for lunch.
While I am not totally convinced with all the raves that they are getting, Cafe De Hong Kong is probably an option to consider for dinner if you are in the Balestier area.
Hi Leskmi Nasi Lemak, nasi lemak, sgfood, review
This is definitely one good nasi lemak that will put all other nasi lemak-inspired dishes to shame.
Hong Kong Street Chun Tat Kee is famed for its fish head beehoon. They not only just sell fish head beehoon but also other tze char dishes.
The chicken and pork meats were well-marinated, and we enjoyed the prawns, sotong rings and asari clams too.
True enough, I believe their one metre mookata platter can feed up to four, coming down to about $7.50+ a person, which is honestly really affordable.
Overall, 黄金烧腊 Golden Roast Char Siew delivered in their execution of homey and budget-friendly wanton mee and ngoh hiang. So, pop by to grab a plate and enjoy some playful banter with the elderly couple. I’m sure I’ll be back!
"The Roast Duck is just so so."
One more good option for delicious, affordable lunch and dinner when you are in the Whampoa area.
I definitely recommend the roast pork here. And, if you come earlier in the day, the smoky char siew will be worth a try as well.
Wouldn't come back again.
Very full and deep flavours, with a solid sticky braising sauce and vinegar, garlic and chilli coming together to make a symphony with the soft flat yellow noodles.
Their chilli sauce was salty and garlic-ky without lime. Wouldn't mind eating from them again.
The soup was so comforting especially on a rainy day, and it complemented the chicken rice perfectly.
The Bee Hoon was well accompanied by ingredients such as pork, cuttlefish, prawn, Kang kong and Tau Pok drowned in the fragrant sweet peanut sauce.
I do not think this is amongst the best chicken rice that I had eaten but sometimes, it is not so much about food but the personal touch, which often left a deep impression.
Their chili sauce is worth mentioning for its inherent sourness, with a subtle taste of lime. One of the better tasting chili sauce you can find here.
Humble Chinese dumpling stall in a Whampoa kopitiam that probably serves the best cheap and good xiao long bao, pot sticker (kuotie) and wantons in Singapore.
