went back to being Thin for dinner. we only 3pax, so just ordered their signature dishes = oyster egg, crabmeat fishmaw soup & sea cucumber duck. 
was last here for a 10pax dinner on 23.12.2013, was pretty ok too, satisfying.
#1 the crabmeat fishmaw was a bit low on crabmeat. somehow it was not as tasty as before. 
#2 the orh jian (蚝煎) – very crispy oyster egg – was every bit as enjoyable (as always!) so much so i decided to try it at home myself. 

#3 sea cucumber duck was also great. duck meat was soft not sinewy & sea cucumber & soup combination with the duck was quite good. there was a bit of tomatoes & celery. great dish. 

there was a 15% discount for UOB cards. we paid S$77 nett after discount, quite ok for the 3 substantial dishes for 3pax.

organiser of this months’ G10 dinner picked beng thin hoon kee. the hokkien restaurant started in 1949 & moved to its current premises at ocbc centre rooftop carpark in 1979. the founder, a lim yew hoon, recently passed on at 91, after building a very successful restaurant from scratch. it is a restaurant my wife liked & we used to go often in the past.


we had 10pax for the evening & had a nice quiet corner, good for the restaurant really as we were usually the noisy lot. anyway being thin was less than 1/2 full this evening on 23.12.2013.

the organiser pre-orders 9 dishes.

we started with the signature duck salad (top photo)
. this was really a great creation. it’s like a cny “loh hae”, looked wonderful & tasted refreshingly good every time. i took this countless times & enjoyed always.


next we had another signature dish – crabmeat fish maw soup
. its chokeful of ingredients & well, tasted good every time!


my friend ordered the skewered prawns. this was something i had never tried. prawns were just prawns & mostly fresh & good, but these were really good & tasty.
i know a many friends like le chasseur’s version skewered prawns. for me though these were a lot larger & tastier. :-)

the claypot herbal chicken was next. i had not taken this dish too. usually i would go for the sea cucumber duck. it was good though, nice herbal flavour & a tender, tasty chicken. it was not my favourite however, i will always go for the duck. :-)

and wow, we had 2 servings of the steamed promfret. it was really good,
as good as any good teochew restaurant. few os us ate up the four 1/2 fishheads. my friend knew the entire table consisted of hungry big eaters!

after all the meat dishes, we had a broccoli. ok, competent dish.

then it was the carb, a seafood mee such. another nice competent dish.

the org nee was ok average, had pumpkin not oily & not “pang” aka tasty, maybe because of…haha! :-)

missed my sea cucumber duck & crispy oyster egg, but then we had too much food for 10pax already. it was actually intended for 12pax but 2 could not make it. $52nett per pax was kind of ex for this restaurant, but we had 2 promfrets & skewered large prawns.

Excellent Hokkien Food
2013-08-11 1198 瀏覽
Went for lunch to this very traditional Hokkien Cuisine. These traditional food is becoming a rare gem in Singapore. The food is still excellent and is one of the remaining restaurant that is true to its traditional excellence. The Hokkien Mee, Oyster Omelette, Fish Maw soap, the Sea cucumber, and the duck salad are still great. The Yam Dessert is great.The price is slightly higher than other popular/famous traditional Hokkien food, but worth it.

My search for good Chinese restaurants continue and this trip saw 5 of us settling for Fujian cuisine at Beng Thin Hoon Kee Restaurant. Interestingly, although it is located right at the heart of the business district, not many people know of its existence. That's because it is located within the carpark itself of OCBC building and can only be reached via the carpark lifts. Take the ancient lifts(they still use the protruding black buttons) up to the 5th floor and a temple like facade greets you

My search for good Chinese restaurants continue and this trip saw 5 of us settling for Fujian cuisine at Beng Thin Hoon Kee Restaurant. Interestingly, although it is located right at the heart of the business district, not many people know of its existence. That's because it is located within the carpark itself of OCBC building and can only be reached via the carpark lifts. Take the ancient lifts(they still use the protruding black buttons) up to the 5th floor and a temple like facade greets you. You have to see it to believe!

The interior was rather plain and the lady who took our orders seemed rather haughty. Since there were 5 of us, we ordered a set menu for 4 and added 2 other dishes in.

Beng Thin Duck Salad - The opening dish was the Beng Thin Duck Salad, which had a nice mixture of colours, flavour and texture. Slices of Cucumber, Chilli, Rock Melon and Duck mixed together and topped with a Peanut gravy. The result was a sweet salad with a strong fowl taste. In all honesty, I liked the salad only because it had the Satay peanut gravy on it. It helped to add a twist to an otherwise ordinary dish.

Crabmeat Fish Maw soup - I found this dish rather normal, although credit has to go to the rather generous amounts of Fish Maw inside. The Fish Maw was too soft and sticky for my liking and I prefer the one at Beng Hiang for flavours and texture.

Fujian Style Ngo Hiang - I can't begin to describe how much I like Ngo Hiang. I practically grew up eating it! This Fujian Style Ngo Hiang was rather interesting as there were two parts to it. First part was a cylindrical roll of minced meat and some other stuff coated with flour then deep fried. It was not too bad, but I did find it a little too floury for my liking. The second part was the usual Ngo Hiang that you get outside. The ingredients are wrapped in beancurd skin and deep fried till its brownish. I preferred this to the flour one because it had more taste, was crispy and light on the palate. But having said that, I didn't find it fantastic either.

Fried Seasonal Fish Slice with Ginger/Scallion - This dish was a joke. I couldn't taste what fish it was, but it was too soft and puffy, which could be an indication that the fish wasn't really fresh.

Mushroom with Seasonal Vegetables - This dish was rather normal, but the mushrooms were rather soft and tasteless. I believe the fault lies with the chef. Although the mushrooms weren't top grade, they might have tasted better if the cooking time was right.

Hokkien Mee - The Hokkien Mee tastes slightly different to those you get outside, but Beng Hiang serves a similar rendition which tastes better. Beng Thin's version just falls flat with its rather bland gravy and very average egg noodles.

The Kong Bak Pau was one of the better dishes, but I still found it lacklustre. The Pau wasn't warm when served and it just smacked of supermarket prepacked quality. The Kong Bak's gravy was plentiful and very thick, which made for a good dip. Meat was tender, but not as quivery as I would have liked it to be.

Prawn Omelette - We had originally wanted to order Oyster Omelette aka Orh Lua, but my friend didn't take oysters, so we modified it to become Prawn Omelette. This dish was rather average with the fried eggs not being as crispy and the addition of too much flour. Pretty tasteless overall.

Orh Nee - Let me just say that I've very disappointed with the Orh Nee. I had heard good things about it only to be faced with the harsh truth - It was bad. There was no smoothness in the Orh Nee to talk about. Taste wise was rather light, very unlike the more robust flavour of Huat Kee's.

Overall the experience can be summed up in two words. Sheer disappointment (It probably had to do with our expectations). It would have been better if the service had been good, but no, it wasn't. As mentioned earlier, the lady taking our orders seemed rather haughty and the other waitresses were rather forgetful. I'm not suggesting that you give this place a miss, but do think twice.

Just had a casual dinner over at Beng Thin. The Oyster egg is particularly nice although I have to say it was much nicer years back. The rest of the dishes such as shark fin soup was OK.Nevertheless, my family and I keep coming back for more. By the way, for those of you who had yet to decide on where to eat for CNY reunion dinner, Beng Thin is certainly a suitable place. However, better check with them if they still have space left!! Menu sets start at $398++ to $1088++
