This is the first time I ever queued for zi char, normally is the wait is very long but at least there is seats for you to wait. But this place is so popular that all the seats were taken up and we had to queue a good half an hour to 45 minutes before we were seated. Thankfully while queuing, there is an auntie taking the order. So you can take your time to browse the menu and don’t need to wait too long for the food to be served. They have this signature must order drink, it is called Mas Lime
They have this signature must order drink, it is called Mas Lime with Prune. One large mug cost only $2. The drink really opens up your appetite. It is sweetish, sour and salty. The salty probably comes from the preserved prune. The Mas Lime gives it a nice sourish taste. You can also eat it up too.
This place is famous for their white bee hoon. The bee hoon is not the dry kind, there is quite a lot of gravy. The gravy is very tasty, not too salty. There is also quite a lot of fresh seafood like prawns and sotong. The prawns and sotongs add a lot of sweetness to the gravy. Their bee hoon is very fine and chewy.
They have this special chilli sauce that they place on the table with the utensils. The chilli sauce is sourish and spicy, goes well with the bee hoon I must say. It gives the bee hoon some added hotness.
Their fried calamari is very unique, normally when we eat it, it is in a ring form, but theirs is a stripe form. The calamari is very chewy, despite being deep fried, it is not too dry. It goes really well with the mayo dip they provide.
They also have this fried chicken wing dish. The chicken taste really good, very juicy and the marinate they coated the chicken wing is really good, very fragrant.
I think it was absolutely worth the wait and the price is very reasonable. Portion wise is quite reasonable as well.Post
