My parents and I went to pick my sister up from tuition at clementi and she was feeling hungry so she suggested we go to the nearby coffee shop for dinner. We decided to order the zi char to try. We ordered one large fried rice, one hor fun and the salted egg chicken. I was pretty amazed by this dish, I have heard about salted egg crab but not salted egg chicken. The chicken was deep fried till very crispy, the coating of the fried chicken taste a little like prawn paste chicken, very fragrant. It was more of juicy then oily, when you cut into it, the juice is ooze out. Surprisingly they deep fry it yet the meat was not dried up. There are some white powder on the chicken, it was actually the salted egg. I guess should be the egg yolk cos the powder was really fine and there was not a single bit of solid salted egg white. The salted egg was very fragrant, from my seat, I could absolutely smell the fragrance of the dish that was placed quite far away from me. I think that this is indeed a unique dish, love the way they cooked it, very delicious. not too oily and fattening too.

The fried rice was good, the texture of the rice was just rice, it was chewy and not clumpy. I guess they used overnight rice, that’s why it is so nice. It was well seasoned, not too salty.

But my favourite was still the hor fun. I love the gravy of the hor fun, when they served it, it was piping hot. The hot gravy envelopes the smooth kway teow. The kway teow was really very chewy, not oily at all. They were so generous with their ingredients. I love the crunchiness of the vegetables, it is not overcooked.
