Outram

$16 for a plate of hor fun?! 😱

My heart ached as I read the price displayed on the menu, but my tastebuds rejoiced when I tried the dish. It's unlike any other hor fun I've ever tried, it actually seemed like a totally different dish.

Rather than a rich, smooth, savoury gravy, Kok Sen has a more gritty, shrimpy, and slightly spicy gravy that generously smothers the sheets of rice noodle below.

The prawns themselves were decently fresh (nothing mind-blowing), but every bite of the dish came with an intense wok hei, a quality that's missing in many hor fun dishes nowadays.

Overall it's definitely worth a try if you're in the area, but it's not something I'd go out of my way to eat every time.
