my OPS buddy CH bought 10pax suckling pig dinner at bee hiang for his own birthday (belated) on 16.8.2018. ^^

i was just kidding about suckling pig on group whatsapp chat & there we were, yummy suckling pig. looks like i have to do more kidding. lol! 🙂

bee hiang was actually a restaurant i been to a bit in my twenties (like loy sum yun)..which i had not been the last 30+yrs so good to revisit.

we got a bit lost. the address is jurong gateway road and located next to J cube, we somehow ended up parking at westgate & asking our way over. lol! 🙂

the suckling pig was the best dinner dish for me – good, crispy, quite tasty, quite ok even though no better than other places like chui huay lim, swatow, ah yat, hung kang etc with good suckling pig. M doesn’t take. FM took 2 pieces, so WM & me took a lot la. haha! 🙂

fish maw soup was quite a good soup, and good ingredients,

just that the stock taste wise (which is most important for soup) no comparison with beng thin.

the hae chor & ngoh hiang was a failed dish for me…

hae chor “buay past” by most teochew restaurant or zi char standard..

ngor hiang no comparison with HC’s wife I’s very nice ngoh hiang. and no need to say really just one look at above photo can already la…

the crispy oyster egg quite a good dish i guess.

but if c/w beng thin’s crispy oyster egg (above photo), kind of far off…

kong bak pau was competent, like most places.

the asparagus dish looked ordinary, but surprisingly PK & I agreed it was good & tasty.

WM thought the hokkien mee was the worst dish.

for me it was actually ok, competent, quite tasty & basically the typical taste of hokkien mee in this kind of restaurant like at beng thin or Singapura.

in fact, low carbs me finished the whole serving.

so personal opinions on food taste can vary quite a bit… 🙂

the orh nee was ok for me also.

not the very fragrant “pang”, smooth and “sung” orh nee like at fragrant gardens, but ok.

the bill S$502 not say expensive because it included suckling pig but not particularly cheap also as there are many suckling pig sets at good restaurants swatow, hung kang, ah yat that are in the S$500++ range.

dinner was a fun time for our OPS friends of 53 yrs standing, an enjoyable time together celebrating again our good friend’s arrival at this important milestone…lol! ^^
