Signature Dishes
Garlic though has a smell to it is really quite fragrant and nice to eat if fried till brown. In this dish, the garlic roast chicken is really nice and flavourful with the small pieces of fried garlic on top of the chicken. The garlic pieces adds a crunch to the crispy chicken and YUM, the chicken is absolutely nice. The chicken is also good with the XO chilli provided.#NTUDAC

They had quite a lot to choose from. We ordered siew mai,char siew chee cheong fun, pan fried chee cheong fun, steamed carrot cake... Potion here are absolutely massive & as a result we were struggling to finish everything. it’s definitely value for money, because prices are quite reasonable and you get really big potion, but the food itself isn’t very refined.so i won't come here again

Old Hong Kong Taste is a really good place for some awesome dinner! We ordered some dim sum, such as the eight treasures wanton which comprised of very fresh sea water prawn, bbq pork, chicken liver and spring onions etc. It was good! Many variety! The "siew mai", was quite light and a superb choice!

The opening of myVillage @ Serangoon Gardens has added a variety of new restaurants to the area, with mostly established brands like Da Paolo, Shin Kushiya and Old Hong Kong vying for pole position in this vibrant dining scene. Enthralled by the prospect of having dim sum in the neighbourhood, we dropped by Old Hong Kong Taste (OHKT for short) - one of the 4 restaurants under the Old Hong Kong Group.OHKT's open kitchen greeted us as we took the escalator up to the 2nd floor of the mall, allowing us a peek at the culinary maestros ( I hope!) who would be whipping up our orders soon.There is a variety of tea, ranging from Rose Tea to Longan Tea, all served up in a glass kettle atop a glass stove with a candle to keep the tea warm.The appetiser was simple yet satisfying. Anchovies dotted the beancurd cubes alongside sweet chopped chilli - would have loved seconds or a bigger serving.Dim Sum in The Cage - I was intrigued by the name, however gimmicky it may have sounded. This dim sum platter had a combination of various items such as -Bird Nest Egg Tart - The custard was quivery and not too sweet with strands of birds nest. Couldn't make out any taste or texture from the birds nest so it's really just a gimmick. Crust was a tad too soft for my liking.Deep Fried Prawn Wanton - A little too oily but prawns were plentiful. Best eaten with the bowl of accompanying soup.Deep Fried Prawn Roll with Cheese - Lots of prawns but lacking in cheese, which made it rather similar in taste to the prawn wanton. Best eaten with Mayonnaise.Siew Mai - Full of bite without too much fatty meat. Prawns fresh and crunchy.Har Gao - The skin was a little too thick for my liking but the generous serving of crunch prawns made up for it.Steamed Mushroom Wrap - As with the Har Gao, the wrap was a wee bit too thick for comfort but I did appreciate the mushrooms which didn't come across as too overwhelming.Marinated Duck - A signature dish of OHKT, the duck came across as rather gamy but tender with a bit of roughage for a nice chewing sensation. The accompanying beancurd slices were very smooth and overall, quite a good dish.Braised Homemade Beancurd with Scallops & Mushrooms - I loved this dish. Not because it's beancurd but because it was very well executed. Topped with generous servings of sliced scallops and mushrooms, the beancurd was silky and had a nice savoury charred taste to it.Bo Lo Bun with Barbecued Pork - Served up piping hot, the Bo Lo Bun was decent with the BBQ pork pieces soaking in the mildly sweet and viscous gravy. Only gripe? The flour was a tad too thick and dry.Steamed Egg Yolk Custard Bun - Now this was rather disappointing. Sure, it had molten custard oozing out with a breach in the shell but the custard was a tad overwhelming and I couldn't make out any traces of egg yolk sediment. I've had better.Lunch cost the both of us about $83 after taxes which honestly isn't cheap for the amount/type of dishes we ordered and the location. However I must admit that overall, food quality was above average and this meal was worth it (well, except for the Bo Lo buns and the Custard buns). I will definitely be back but this time I'll be more inclined towards ordering from the ala carte menu rather than the dim sum menu.See all my pictures at http://www.timelessfacade.com/2011/06/old-hong-kong-taste.html

It was 4pm and i called my mum no to cook our dinner as i like to have dinner together with my wife. I drove down to changi business park to pick her up and told her that we will have dinner outside. She asked me whether want to go Serangoon Garden to have dinner and i replied why don't we go Lau Xiang Gang to have dinner. When we reached there, it was already 8pm, luckily there is not much people. We ordered their promotion deals and also ordered 2 Iced Apple Green Tea. Overall the food is good and price are quite okie. Definitely, will go back to dine again.
