Prince Coffee House 太子咖啡座 has been in operation since the 1970s. It first started out in Shaw House, before moving to Coronation Plaza and now Beach Road. It is located just a few units away from Blanco Prawn Noodle.

In terms of decoration, its quite unique. Simple and quiet place away from the bustling city.
Set Lunch Menu from 11am to 3pm. No worries if none of items on the set menu are your cup of tea. There are lots of a la carte dishes to order such as Hor Fun, Rice, Mee, Western and Chinese dishes. You can top up S$4 to the a la carte dishes to make them into set meal (inclusive of soup, garlic bread, drink and dessert).
I ordered the Fried Beef Hor Fun $6.80 and topped up $4 to make it a set meal.
The Garlic Bread was a let down. They should have toasted it before serving and the garlic flavour was mild..
Creamy soup with slices of button mushroom and small chunk of chicken. Too thick and creamy for my liking. What a disappointing start to the meal.
Just as I was losing hope, the next dish wowed me. The Fried Beef Hor Fun was delish! It taste so much better than how it looks like in the picture. The Hor Fun was very well fried the flavour of smoky wok-hei infused in it. The generous amount of beef given was soft and very tender. In addition, the delectable sauce enhanced the taste further. This has got to be one of the best Hor Fun in Singapore!
I have read online about how popular that their Yam cake was. Hence, I was excited when the Yam Cake was given as part of the dessert. But I was not impressed, the yam flavour was not robust enough. A forgettable dish.I am not too impressed thus far. I will have to try their other a la carte dishes to get a better conclusion. The next time I come, I will probably skip topping up $4 to make it a set meal and just order the Fried Beef Hor Fun or some other a la carte dishes such as their chicken chop.
