Our team was at Keong Siak Road for a training session and it ended just nice around 6.30pm.So, it’s time for dinner so we decided to have ‘Zi Char’ at Kok Sen Eating House. The coffee shop tucked away in a little street is a winner of Green Book awards for many years.This old coffee shop has no air-condition and always crowded and some of the customers will have to eat at the dark back alley. No much of renovation of the coffeeshop but the foods served here are delicious and affordable price.He
Our team was at Keong Siak Road for a training session and it ended just nice around 6.30pm.So, it’s time for dinner so we decided to have ‘Zi Char’ at Kok Sen Eating House. The coffee shop tucked away in a little street is a winner of Green Book awards for many years.This old coffee shop has no air-condition and always crowded and some of the customers will have to eat at the dark back alley. No much of renovation of the coffeeshop but the foods served here are delicious and affordable price.Here are the dishes that were served within 15 minutes time. I would say it is quite fast and efficient with the quality of foods served.
Golden Dragon Chicken.It is highly recommended by the staff and only available during the weekend. The chicken meat was removed and replace by seafood paste and deep fried. I would suggest to try it with the sauce to make the meat taste flavourful. Otherwise, it would be quite bland taste.
Claypot Yong Tau Foo which is one of the specialty dish. Most of the tables are served with this dish. Yong Tau Foo is deep fried and simmers in puckering bean paste gravy. Fish paste filled in brinjal, chili and beancurd pockets were not soggy at all. It absorbs the sauce well and it is best to enjoy it with a bowl of rice.
Soupy Chinese Spinach with salted egg and century egg. This vegetable dish most commonly served at zi char’s stall. The stock was rich and vegetables are soft and tasty.
Fish curry served with lady fingers and brinjals. The curry sauce does go well with plain rice. Taste wise is just fine only.
Spring Onion and ginger frog legs is a well-known dish to be try at Geylang. The dish was quite dry and the frog leg meat was moist and crust. Not recommended to order as I think Geylang’s version taste better.
Bittergourd with Braised Pork with the wok hei taste made the dish taste delicious. The bittergourd was not bitter as the sauce blends into it. The meat texture is tender and soft and compliments well with the thick sauce.Overall dinner was pleasant as the waiting time was short. The dishes are served within 20 minutes. Thus, this explains their turnover for dinner time was quite fast. People don’t really need to queue for long to get a seat in the coffeeshop.
