Located opp the famous Tau Sa Par at Balestier Road, this cafe is not really difficult to find.

As they open up till midnight, it offers many people another makan hunt for supper or late dinner! This cafe as its name is, offers homestyle cantonese style zi char. with a wide variety of dishes in the menu, it is not hard to find something you like. The price is also pretty reasonable too!

Located at the Burlington Square facing the famous Sim Lim Square (well known for IT gadgets to many), it is not hard to located this eatery at all. Wing Seong Fatty is another eatery that is handed over from one generation to another. The place is quite popular with tourists (Wing Seong Fatty is actually featured in Qantas 's inflight catalog as one of the must-try food!) but they do not do carrot chopping as their price is very reasonable.

They serve mainly Cantonese style zi char ( i wouldnt say tradditional Cantonese food as some of the food there are not Cantonese and they are catered for the local flavors). The way of cooking and preparing the food is toward Cantonese style though.

Opening hours:
Mon to Sun: 1200 - 1430, 1700 - 2210

Address:
Burlington Square, 175 Bencoolen Street, #01-34, Rochor, 189649

Will i come again ? : Yes

Here is a list of the food we tried for the night

their jumbo spring rolls ~ $3 each. As you can see. the spring rolls is filled with alot of ingredients which is why is call jumbo spring roll. The crispy skin adds on to the crunchy feeling for each bite! you can eat it with their spring roll dip or without. i prefer the latter as i love the original taste!

 

 
Fried "Kway Teow" with gravy ~ $14 (Large) . This dish sets a little disappointment in me. Perhaps i am too used to the common zi char style. The Kway tiao must been stirred fried until alittle bit chao tah before adding the gravy on top. However, credits are given to the fresh ingredients in this dish!

 
Belachan Fried Rice ~ $14 (Large) . The fried rice is pretty good except i dont taste any belachan at all. The fried rice is not dried and it actually make me go for a second serving!

 
Chicken in Prawn Paste ~ $22 (Large) . this dish sets me thinking that it is different from the rest of the Har Jeong Kai ( chicken in prawn paste). nevertheless, the chicken is very crispy and yet not oily!

 
Homemade bean curd ~ $22 (Large) . This is my favourite among all. Homemade bean curd is commonly seen in zi char stall / eateries now. What make this dish so special i would say the "zap" aka the sauce that goes with it.

 

 
Fried Prawn with Oats ~ $37 (Large). The prawn balls i would call it. they are de-shelled prawns which makes it easier to eat as compared to those that are cooked with shell. However, i misses the crispy shell taste as i prefer to eat it as whole (including the shell). The oats is specially blend as i can taste some fried shredded coconut in it ( i hope my taste bud is correct lol). Sadly this dish does not appeal to me as i feel that there is an "dis-engage" with the oat and the prawn.

 
Black pepper beef ~ $22 (large). this is another dish that is consider my favourite. The beef is very tender and not overly "peppered" although you see the dish is full of pepper. lol

 

 
Sweet and Sour Pork ~ $22(large). Huge chunky pork only. no deep fried flour. this dish is pretty good except i feel the pork is alittle too tough.

 
Fried vegetables with meat ~$16 (large). This dish is really good and according to the boss, this dish is cooked using their own "secret" recipe.

This is not the first time i dine in Mouth restaurant hehe. I find their dishes are pretty decent and reasonably price especially this set lunch peking duck meal.

Here is a peek at their menu

 
we ordered their flower tea which is good for health!tea is not included in the set menu

 
xiao long bao. i love their xiao long bao. very juicy with soup! the skin is pretty thin.

 
spinach toufu. i love this dish very much! the toufu is crispy from the outside but soft on the inside

 
peking duck. pity they use those egg roll skin wraps..else it will b very nice as the sauce is very good

 
not a fan of their noodles...

 
sadly, i think i forgot to take picture of the abalone soup but it is really good!

lastly, ending the set meal with a desert

 
overall,
Food : ***
Price : *** 1/2
Customer Service : ***
Will i come again : Yes. there are many other set menus and dishes that are worth trying out for. This set menu is quite suitable for small eaters la. for big eaters, probably u will need to order other side dishes to eat =)

Li Bai revisit Smile Sep 11, 2013

Food : ****1/2
Price : ****1/2
Customer service : ****
Will i come again : Yes! definitely. For the food! this is the second time i return to Li Bai and i love their food so much that i decided to host my wedding there!

The price is consider slightly steeper than other Chinese restaurant but u pay for what you eat. Each dishes are prepared with the freshest ingredients and best effort to enhance the natural flavours and fragrances of every ingredient. So you can imagine the amount of effort that is placed in preparing each single dish.

Peking Duck

 

 

 
the chef skilfully remove the skin from the duck without any trace of duck meat so you get to only taste the crispy duck skin!

double boiled chicken shark fin soup. unlike many other restaurants, you get to eat the whole shark fin and not strands of them ;P

 
Soon Hock. super fresh!

 

 
Scallop Yam Ring with stirred fried peking duck! the best combination I had so far!

 

 
Lobster noodles - super love this dish.

Last Sat I was fed with the finest Japanese cuisine that it sent me straight up to cloud nine + tears streaming down from my eyes...it is too delicious that words cannot best describe my feelings except i tempt you with all the food pictures i took last Sat. Muahahaha.

Their Omakase is priced from 50 up to 85 bucks per set. Trust me, it is really worth every single cent. and Yes, it is a counter only restaurant that can sit up to 20 pax at one time only so there is a waiting Q that you need to join. for your info, the reservation list is fully taken up until end of this yr and you will need to book for next yr slot already! since we are there, we opt for the most expensive one la..

Overall,
Food : **** ( out of 5)
Price : *** ( comparing to the type of food we ate that night, it is super value for money!)
Customer Experience : *****
Will i come again ? : i love it sooo much that i put myself on waiting list everyday! one call and i will rush my way there muahahahaha

these are some of the food we had. There is a total of 20 over dishes!

Appetizer. the vege is so fresh and the salad sauce is sooo good. first dish already set me up on preparing to take off mode haha.

 
Sashimi...that send me up to Cloud 9 already..the sashimi is super fresh! i just eat it without wasabi.

 

 
butter clam soup...clam is super fresh!

 
Sea urchin with scallop....i am already floating in the air..lol

 
The beef that sends me up to heaven and dont feel like coming bk hahahaha

 

 

 
there are many more dishes and I would say that I feel very fortunate to be able to go for their omakase that night as i am surrounded by very good food with the price of 85 bucks. if you want to try their omakase, i would suggest to go for their 85 bucks set, it is really worth and the food is soo good!
