Lai Huat Sambal Belacan Fish (Geylang)

Tze Char Dinner Meal at Lai Huat Signatures!

My third time having tze char from here! Ordered the below dishes
-Fried Prawn Paste Chicken Wings (8 for $12)
-Fried Beehoon ($6)
-Black Bean Sauce Hor Fan ($6)
-Sambal Fried Rice ($6)
-Hokkien Mee ($6)

I like that the prices for this tze char is still kinda affordable! There are other tze char stalls around that charge at least $8 nowadays!

Favourite item was the prawn paste chicken wings for sure! Fried Beehoon had much wokhey taste too! Was sad that the black bean sauce hor fan didnt have the option of all fish slices only. Sambal fried rice was not spicy at all though. Hokkien Mee did not use the flat type of noodle, but was the rounded yellow noodle (which I dont really like, so I did not eat this heh)

But still an affordable option for tze char if you are around this area! Best of all, no long queue!

Featured here is the 8 pax portion for $388 (price I thought was slightly expensive, but oh well CNY reunion dinner pricing. Some misses but mostly hits for their food items)

1. Prosperous Yu-Sheng with abalone: i was kinda appalled by the small amount of lohei veg given, it seems like 1/3 of usual size no? (But is ok doesnt matter to me coz i dont eat those veg anw)We added 2 packets of smoked salmon ourselves hehe

2. Signatures Sambal Fish: Lai Huat is actually famous for this dish! It was also my first time eating such a fried sambal fish, and I must say it was good! Though I thought the fried fish was slightly too dry/hard, but the sambal chilli was super good. Best to eat with rice! Our family cooked some white rice to accompany this dish

3. Fishmaw with crabmeat stock
4. Spinach with abalone
5. Emperor Chicken

6. Poached Live Prawns: I thought the prawns wasnt really fresh, and also maybe because the prawn was cooled down already so not as nice as eating it hot

7. Ee Fu Noodles Canto Style: Woah this was the first time I attacked! Good thing about eating it at home is I ate it BUFFET STYLE. lol i always dont unds why restaurants serve noodle / rice as the last dish (just like wedding reception), when I like to eat it with the rest of the dishes. This ee fu noodles had omelette egg and shredded carrots in it too, not only mushrooms!

8. Dessert: Ai Yu Bing Jelly with longan. While cold and refreshing, the lemon juice was way too sour for me. I ended up pouring away the lime juice just to eat the jelly haha

An old school zi char place where is famous for their sambal fried pomfret.

Maybe their too old school for their own good. Most of their food was deep fried and lack of depth. Few simple taste kept repeating - sweet, spicy and deep fried crisp.

The only good point was that even the food was deep fried. The dishes were not oily at all.

Finding this zichar stall was a great way to start the weekend. The signature dish (as the name suggests ) is the sambal fried fish, but the sweet and sour pork was no slouch either. The sambal was a real star, fragrant and full of umami, making it easy to just down our rice. Good for returns.

Amazingly crispy fish with super fragrant sambal...u can practically eat the whole fish!! Yums!!
