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.

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.
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.
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.
Though Balestier Food Centre is open 24/7, New Shop Spinach Soup only operates from 11am to 10pm daily.
There are a number of famous Bak Kut Teh in Balestier but among those big players, do not miss out this Teochew style BKT in the coffeeshop.
