Can’t deal with the queues at HDL? Hate to go against the crowd? I found a similar/better experience at 香草 Xiang Cao Yunnan Original Ecology Steamboat, Liang Seah St! Dinner eat-all-you-can buffet only at $40+/Pax (Definitely cheaper than what you can eat at HDL 😂) Not only best when you’re on a budget but honestly speaking, I love LOVE their soup-base, especially the Mala and Tomato broth! NO WAIT, EVEN THEIR MUSHROOM BROTH IS HEAVENLY! IT’S DAMN THICK, FRAGRANT AND DUPER DELICIOUS I SWEAR! Also, what’s better than free flow of 🥩? I guess there’s only two thing for me HDL can beat the rest, THEIR BEANCURD SKIN AND EXCELLENT SERVICE 😂💯

Typical traditional wanton mee style, not the best but satisfying comfort food 👌🏻

What’s better than feasting with your loved ones on a typical Thursday afternoon? 😊💯

When it comes to noodles, I can be quite a picky-eater but the 鱼圆面 here is superb. Extra vinegar is probably going to keep me coming back for this bowlful of greatness! Too much good food around Katong!

TUESDATE: THE ULTIMATE CHICKEN KATSU!

They serve cutlet that I would describe as super moist, craggy-crust, tender, almost silken texture, and a "cosmic oneness" between the crumbs and the chicken. (We're talking cutlet so good that you have to resort to metaphysics to make sense of it.) Incredibly memorable! The flavour penetrates very deeply and the doneness of the chicken greatly reduces the palatability for me!

I distinctly remember eating it: Picking the big, fat chunks accompanied with Katsuobushi and their quality Truffle Mayo (Adding an extra touch of luxury to this indulgent goodness) Tasting the spicy, salty grease; unique blend of herbs and delivering it to my waiting mouth, WAS HEAVENLY!

I’m a foodie and I cannot stand not eating great food at a small price!
À La Carte — $5.00/$6.00 — Served with Noodle.

I honestly enjoy quite a handful of their delicious dishes from their ever changing menu, never fail to amaze me, which is what makes Bei-Ing worth repeated visits!
