went with my OPS primary school classmates for a walk along the southern ridge on 13.7.2016. ^^

we started just past 6pm, walked along the elevated gangway from hortpark to mt faber & back past 8pm.

decided to go nearby hong kong street sum kee @ alexandra village 香港街珍记for dinner.

this place notorious for parking in the day. but after 6.30pm the season carpark lots are available.

the coffeeshop & sum kee also not crowded, so it was a breeze actually, no hassle.

friends ordered the crispy lard.

i have decided to cut down, but still tried one piece. din like this oily style..i like the crispy dry pork lard so no problem to keep to one piece…haha! 🙂

fish belly thick beehoon 鱼肌米粉 was very good.

soup was tasty, quite intense. a friend said could smell the XO. later we decided it was the 花雕酒 fragrance. 🙂

i think though the one at holladv village XO fish head bee hoon at dover crescent is better. more intense & tasty than this.

also they gave quite a lot of fish belly. we ordered medium but maybe it was large?

very shiok la, this! ^^

the san lou hor fun was just ok passable, taste ok & had a bit of wok hae. but not too great. a lot of other places make this better.

was better when i added green chilli & chlli padi for the kick!

a friend said got to order smaller plate to feel more wok hae…looked like we again had large?

i liked the prawn paste chicken. another friend liked too. one friend though thought the prawn paste taste was not strong enough.

recently i had prawn paste chicken –

1. at hup choon @ binjai park
2. & then at forture restaurant @ old holland road

they were all good. this one was just as good for me. my helper makes very good deep-fried chicken wings also. just as tasty & crispy w/o the prawn paste. enjoyed that equally. 🙂

the spicy black beans was very good. everyone liked it!

but having tried this again after a very long time (i think years) i thought it was maybe not as good as the hong kong street chun kee 香港街珍记 at commonwealth food centre?

in fact after looking at the old photos i am positive the song fish head at hong kong street chun kee 香港街珍记 at commonwealth food centre is better.

this bean curd skin dish never tried before.

it was very good. a very nicely done dish, great bean curd flavours & tasty dish.

dinner was S$68 for 5pax.

really quite good tasty food at a good price.
