When we talk about Nam Heng oysters, how can we miss their fried hokkien prawn mee?

Their hokkien prawn mee are an outstanding piece of work, but it's a little oily than your usual hokkien mee. They use a mixture of yellow noodle and beehoon which provide a mixture of different noodle texture.
Their fire and time controlling behind the wok are impressive. It's being fried till the prawn aroma filled the whole kopitiam!

The noodles absorb the savoury chicken stock well and the taste was simply indescribable.
Try it and you know what I mean.

Waiting time is quite okay most of the time despite the roaring business.
Look no further if you are looking for one of the best fried hokkien mee in Singapore.

Ha Ha Ha Meesiam ! Smile Nov 29, 2010

The mee siam here have a pretty nostalgic old school feeling to me.
It's basically a very simple yet appetizing dish.
I can remember the nice shrimp paste fragrance on the piping hot gravy which has a right amount of sweet, sour and spicy punch.

They also served mee rebus and laksa here as well, but mee siam would still be my individual preference.

Too crowded during lunch time? No problem, they'll gladly pack the gravy separately for you when you take away. This ensures that the meesiam will remains in their best form until they are ready to eat!

Do go early as they close quite early.

Appealing but average pasta OK Nov 29, 2010

Categories : Restaurant

Went on for a casual late lunch at breek. As the space are are limited over here, i was surprised that there wasnt much people at the restaurant.

Without waiting further, I ordered for myself the seafood pasta set accompanied with Iced lemon tea.

Waiting time is rather decent, it came much earlier than I expected.
The seafood pasta was beautifully decorated and I guess they deserve some applaud for their creative effort.
In terms of taste, it was rather disappointing thou.

The tomato sauce doesnt seem to mix well with the pasta and seafood.
Seafood was bland and it didnt absorb any tomato flavor. There was not much seafood flavor in the whole pasta and it just ruin the nice presentation.

Overall, I find it below average.
Nice place to chill out with friends, but not for the food.

Local Food @ Hotel OK Nov 29, 2010   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Singaporean | Hotel | Restaurant | High Tea | Halal | Buffet

Impressive decoration on the exterior but I guess it's only an average or below average buffet for Singaporean.

They serve only Asian food here. International Buffet lover you WILL be dissapointed here.

Many local fare such as carrot cakes, rojak, prata, popiah and some other common local fare you can find in a Kopitiam setup.
Desert section was rather lacking as the selection are really limited over here.
Ice cream, ice kachang - Not unusual for a Singaporean.

Overall, the buffet spread was good but not fantastic.

If you need an orientation to overseas visitor on local food, perhaps this is the place you can look at.
However for the price tag, you can eat till you explode perhaps at a local restaurant establishment for similar food.

Good food, good time. Smile Nov 29, 2010

Categories : Japanese | Sushi/Sashimi

Heavily decorated using bamboo, it gives me a very traditional japanese feeling upon entering the restaurant.
They have an incredible long queue but since I was craving for some Japanese food, I reluctantly queue outside for a good 15minutes.

Ordered Fried Garlic rice and Salmon Sashimi rice.

Verdict: Absolutely worth the queuing!

Garlic rice was well executed and every bites I feel as thou I was indulging in some garlic-land. Excellent!
The salmon here was fresh and no fishy smell at all. I could taste the sweetness of the fresh fish and a tint of saltiness from the fish roes.

Price is reasonable and the quality make the price worth it.
