We ordered the Stir-fried Kai Lan, Cereal Prawns, Crab Bee Hoon (soup) and Chilli Crab for the evening.
The stir-fried Kai Lan was normal, nothing much to rave about. Next dish being served was the Cereal Prawns which cost slightly higher than the average Tzi Char stall but the prawns served was not as big as what was expected. The cereal was crispy and golden fried well. What I felt lacking was the sweet taste that was very mild in that dish.
My favourite dish was the Crab Bee Hoon (soup). The soup base has just the right tinge of seafood taste coupled with the thick bee hoon. Perfect combination! I enjoyed particularly digging in to the succulent flesh of the oh-so-big-and-fresh crabs. On the other hand, the gravy of the Chilli Crab was a little too starchy for my liking. The mini man tous compensated for that though.
In a nutshell, this is the place for big and fresh succulent crabs! (for the patient ones)
