Hi-Cal Local

Simple, satisfying and sedap. If you’re here for the first time, you might snicker at the awkward picture of a chicken wing on the signboard. Guess who’s having the last laugh - the crispy and juicy chicken wings will have you back for more. The bee hoon had plenty of flavour, perhaps a little too much which made for a pretty greasy meal but anything else is surely an afterthought once you’re winging it. If you’re in the area, this is a decent place for some local grub. Hint: good food, no long queue...

Checking boxes off a list including Hokkien Mee, Oyster Omelette, White Carrot Cake, Black Carrot Cake and Char Kway Teow (not pictured), the last of which is apparently the main attraction here. The verdict? The carrot cake takes the... uh, cake. Overall none of the dishes are bad but neither is there a shining star. A decent option for your local grub.
