Hong Kiat Seafood Restaurant - Nice food at low prices

"There's a place near my camp that serves pretty good food. The price is very reasonable too. Wanna try?" So my brother says.

Now, there's no reason for me to say no to cheap and good food right?
So, in a flash, we are out of the door for our dinner.

The eatery is located in a "ulu" stretch of choa chu kang. It doesn't exactly look appealing esp on a rainy day and we have to make our way thru the back where the kitchen and washing area is. Once we made our way to the shop front, we found a seat and were approached by the staff to take orders.

We placed orders for
1. Sweet & sour pork (Pork is crispy and sweet & sour sauce is delectable)
2. Prawn paste chicken (Very crispy but I think the prawn paste taste is not strong enuf. My brother's "must order food" here.
3. Fish maw soup (This is the clear soup not those with crab meat. Generous ingredients and soup is refreshing.
4. Hot plate beancurd (Tasty with lots of minced meat and egg)5. Luo Han Zai (Mixed Veggies. A little oily for veggies thou crunchy)

The portions are HUGE and except item #5 (at $10 as we ordered a medium), all are charged at $8 (small)! Very economical!There's food enuf to feed 6 pax easily but there's only 4 of us.
We are all stuffed by the time we finished our food.I will be back to try some of their crabs.

Must Tries: Sweet sour pork

Changi Lor 108 Fei Lao Seafood - Wok Hei Hor Fun

Capitivated by the picture of seafood hor fun wrapped in Opeh leaf, me and Mr HB found ourselves inside 108 Fei Lao Cze Char.

What did we order?
No prize for guessing it right - the legandary hor fun was what we asked for.

It was a blazing Sat afternoon as we sat and waited for our orders to be served.
The eatery was relatively empty 'cept for a couple of uncles having coffee and waiting for their cze char dish.

After a brief 10min, the hor fun was served.
You can imagine my disappointment when I saw the hor fun served on a big green plate.
What? No opeh leaf!
I felt cheated.

On top of that the hor fun looks extremely ordinary. This was a bad start but nonetheless, a hungry stomach must be attended to.

Without further delay, I served myself a big mouthful of hor fun.
In contrast to my initial thoughts, the hor fun actually tasted pretty good!
The wok hei flavour on the hor fun was nicely done, demostrating a good fire control over the kwey teow.
The ingredients are fresh and the gravy tasty, definately one of the better hor fun in Singapore.

Together with 2 ice barley we completed our lunch and begin our journey home under the hot afternoon sun .
