Overall, the standard of the food is similar to the outlets in Hong Kong and it is great we do not have to travel to Hong Kong just to get some of these Hong Kong favourites.
We tried two of the several dishes listed in the Signatures section. From the side the Tsui Wah Signature pork chop bun looked like a hamburger (picture above), such as one from Shake Shack. The differences lie in the bun (which had been lightly toasted to give it a mild crusty surface) and the meat (which was a nicely seasoned piece of pork).
Tsui Wah – Hong Kong at Orchard Heeren
Recommended by UMakeMeHungry. This was actually really good dim sum, with fresh and springy siew mai, lightly fragrant and savoury glutinous rice, and crispy, qq and textured carrot cake. Definitely worth coming back for these and the rest of the menu.
Hong Kong Style Tim Sum in Bukit Batok Industrial Canteen. It looks like some of the items were no longer on the menu. I hope that they do can sustain the business and bring back the old items in the menu.
Honolulu Café has reasonably priced breakfast sets from 8 am to 11 am. The popular egg tarts and other pastries are also available.
I have been to Honolulu Café (檀岛香港茶餐厅) for quite a few times already and normally I always get to order the flaky egg tarts and so this time round, the cafe has come out new dishes like Bu Luo Egg Tarts and Mini Hazelnut Choco ttart.

I don't think I've ever had cart noodles before, so I can't really make a proper comparison.
While the dim sum here didn’t exactly appeal to us, Enak Enak Hong Kong Tea House kept its dim sum prices affordably and they are open until late.
While the dim sum here did not thoroughly appeal to our tastebuds, we still recommend trying a dish or two, especially if you’re in the vicinity at 3am in the morning.
Recommended by Miss Tam Chiak, although for their Peking Duck. The soft noodles have been cut up and didn’t have much of a texture. It came in a sweetish soy sauce, and with a sweet and lightly caramelised but slightly tough char siew, and quite normal and again slightly tough roast duck with non crispy skin. Quite average I thought.
Peking Duck in Coffeeshop? Opened by ex-Imperial Treasure chef, Tham’s Roasted Delights serves good roasted meat, including peking duck!
The noodles were springy and crunchy, and drenched in a nice savoury oyster sauce-like sauce with a hint of dang gui flavour and fragrance. The duck was flavourful with some bite, with good fattiness and flavourful skin with a pronounced dang gui flavour. Very nice.
The noodle was well mixed in its sauce and texture was springy.
Overall, I find that the star is still Dang Gui duck and we can skip the rest of the roasted meat if you have limited stomach space to try on.
On days when you just don't feel like cooking but want a comforting meal, this is one of the food choices you can turn to.
I am impressed by the selection of dishes available – there’s even ostrich meat!
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.
The black vinegar is more sweet than sour but there is a bottle of vinegar on the counter for customers to help themselves to for a sharper taste. Chef Sham uses the Chan Kong Thye (aka doggy brand) black sweet rice vinegar which he proudly displays all over his stall.
This collagen soup is comparable to those that you have in Hai Di Lao or Beauty In a Pot but I would choose Chef Sham’s soup over those any day for its affordable price!
Must Try dishes are Chef Huang De Ming's signature Garlic Steamed Fish Head, ku lou yok, beef with fermented bean sauce, chicken with fermented bean sauce, and fried kang kong. I would be back for Yang Ji's other dishes.
At Yang Ji, song fish head is used for its big and tender.
This was actually a very nice bowl of curry noodles, with sufficient heat and flavours, spicy, thick and strong without being lemak. The noodles and fishballs were also springy and flavourful. Really not bad.
We stumbled upon Ji Xian at Wave Mall while looking for some lunch. Me, being a dim sum guy and all, decided to give it a go.
Legendary Hong Kong has opened a smaller version of its shop at Funan. It offers a limited menu, but it has Noodles with toppings and buns. Looking at all the choices I decided to go for Thin Noodl…
Hong Kong Zhai has opened a new outlet at Marina Square and we were keen to try it out. Offering Noodles, Congee, Dim Sum and HK style snacks, the menu looked pretty good. As usual I have to buy Be…
Overall it is a good plate of soy sauce chicken noodle.
Restaurant quality dim sum at hawker prices. Their charsiu bao and har gao are their star items. The rest are very decent for the $2.30 price tag.
As a frequent traveler to Hong Kong, I can attest that this is one of the closest choices that you can get without flying to Hong Kong.
Overall, Ming Mun is a great option for those who aren’t picky with their Roasted meats.
The rack is full of chickens when I placed my order. By the time I finished my meal and return to take a photo of the stall front, only two whole chickens were left. And this is only the first hour of business.
