Hong Kong Street Chun Kee (Bukit Merah) 香港街珍記

The only reason i would visit this place over and over again it probably because of one dish. The shrimp paste chicken. However there are other dish worth noting too.

The famous "San Lou Hor Fun". From its name the 3 main ingredient are hor fun, bean sprout and fish slice. Simple dish but to have a good wok hei for the hor fun, cooked but still retains some crunch for the bean sprouts and fish that is just nicely cooked with a nice and smooth texture is not that simple. Over here i'm not sure how they perform when they are busy but during non peak hours they are good at it.

XO fish beehoon. Certainly nice broth that is not fishy, nice portion of fried fish and good amount of thick beehoon, nothing is wrong here. But prehaps i had better one at the Holland Village XO fish head beehoon, this just felt so-so.

This dish is such a disappointment, don't bother ordering. The main attraction to this dish is the yam basket that doesn't really have strong yam taste and the ingredients are just simply stir fried. The yam basket just doesn't taste right.

"Hei Zhou" Big fat and juicy, homemade, but not well seasoned. The taste is ok but doesn't pack any punch.

Stir fried Bok Choy with garlic. Simple and delicious, a good alternative to my favourite Kai lan.

The STAR of the show, Har Chiong Gai! The shrimp paste chicken here is well marinaded with shrimp paste that makes it so flavourful and well basically anything that is fermented will give you
the umami feeling. This is the only dish here i think will never go wrong. Superbe!
