Hong Kong Street Zhen Ji — Restaurant in Singapore

Came here multiple times already and the food here really is pretty amazing. The queue is majorly off-putting on any day of the week, but they are super fast and as long as you manage to secure a table, food is out within 15 mins~30mins ☺🤗

Their speciality dishes are the San Lou Hor Fun and the Fried Fish Head Soup!

The San Lou Hor Fun has an amazing wok hei flavour to the noodles, and its chewy and springy! Good hor fun texture is hard to find in SG, and I give you my word that here is a legit good place. There is generous portion of beansprouts too, but for this time, they ran out of it and gave me cabbage which is good too! 😊

The Fried Fish Head Soup is very flavourful and is very generous with the ingredients as well! The milk is not too overpowering and you can tell that the stock is very well handled. The fried fish is very tender and the fat of the fish is still retained! 🐟

Personally I really like their Prawn Paste Fried Chicken 虾酱鸡翅膀 as well! The meat falls off the bone easily and the marinate really seeped into the chicken. The crispy exterior is lightly battered, making it the ultimate crispy on the outside, soft and juicy on the inside! 🍗

Total spent $23 on what I have uploaded and this is really quality food for...

Decided to have family dinner at Zhen Ji located in Ang Mo Kio Avenue 4.

The coffee shop where Zhen Ji was located was pretty busy when we arrived there at 6:30pm.

In the kitchen of Zhen Ji, 5 chefs were busy dishing out the orders placed by diners.

Besides the sliced fish beehoon soup (with milk) which we came to savor, we ordered the Har Jeong Gai, Hae Zhor, Sambal Kangkong, Stir fried beef and Hotplate Tofu with minced pork.

The Sliced Fish Beehoon Soup (with milk) was lacking fish bone flavor. They were generous with beehoon but the 5 pieces of sliced fish were overcooked.we could taste mild wine flavor in the soup.

The Har Jeong Gai although well fried and crispy was not seasoned sufficiently. Chicken meat wasn’t tasty, maybe lack of prawn paste.

The Hae Zhor was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside - but lacking minced prawn. We felt the filling was mixed with too much flour.

The Hotplate Tofu with minced pork was delicious. Very well done with beaten eggs at the bottom of the tofu.

The stir fried beef was tender but somehow didn’t have the beefy taste.

Overall, the meal was okay. For 7 adults and two kids, it cost us $149.50....

I usually enjoy coming here — the food is good and most of the staff are friendly and patient. But today I was a bit disappointed with one of the male staff, a slightly chubby guy. My two colleagues ordered before me and he served them fine, but when it was my turn, I was looking for salted egg chicken rice on the menu and couldn’t find it. Just as I was about to ask, he walked off and muttered something like “don’t waste my time.” That really didn’t feel nice.

About 1–2 minutes later, his female colleague came over and was super helpful and patient — really appreciate her attitude. She also explained that the item wasn’t listed on the menu.

Hope the shop can update the menu soon — include more items, and reflect the new GST charges. And I also hope that staff member can be more mindful of how he speaks to customers.

Food-wise, still great overall. I highly recommend the Pork Ribs Rice, Curry Pork Rice, Long Beans with Roasted Pork Rice, Fish Bee Hoon Soup, and their variety of hor fun dishes. Just that the salted egg chicken I had today was too oily and didn’t have enough salted egg...
