was here at hup choon just few weeks back on 2.6.2016 with some wife’s friends after a pleasant forest walk.

food was pretty good.

so this time after our 12pax durian party, 9 of us decided to come here for dinner.

we ordered 8 dishes for 9pax.

dinner came to S$132.5, like S$15pax nett, inexpensive & pretty decent food.

fish head curry one size at S$25.

other dishes we ordered medium, mostly like S$13 to $16 price rabge.

fish head was the best dish.

nice curry, fresh fish, not better than but certainly as good as any.

for me, i still like forture’s thai style fish head curry best! that one is memorable. this one is very competent!

the kou rou 梅菜扣肉 S$15  was pretty good, competent i guess.

belly pork texture was ok (still not tender enough), taste quite good.

but honestly, my own 梅菜扣肉 is better by miles!

har jeon gai – prawn paste chicken here is one of the better ones. as i said last time, better than most fried chicken wings.

lala dish?

not sure if i should say this was passable?

for me the la la was ok but the sauce was poor, but actually one friend specifically said the sauce was nice like chilli crab. so i guess it is down to individual taste.

for my own taste preference, this NOT a dish i would order la…sauce sweet gluey odd actually!

again my own la la is miles better la!

orh jian – oyster egg was a dish i thought was quite good here, quite “pang”!

oyster good too…

& the salted fish tau gay also very good!

one of the dishes i would order here again..

cuttlefish kang kong was quite bad…

quite strange really..

i commented the last time that it was good here precisely becos it did not tatse like that.

this sauce was exactly NOT the sauce to have la!

looked at the previous photo…it could be simply a case of adding too much the reddish sweet sauce overpowering the the milder chilli & sweet sauce taste!

the seafood tofu had good, fresh ingredients.

so did not stand out but then as the price is quite inexpensive so a rather good dish to order.

anyway we wiped clean the food la…

i think a pretty ok dinner place.
