Tong Hooi Restaurant


This coffee shop, Tong Hooi has a chicken rice stall in it that sells quite good Char Sui Pork. You can find this coffee shop along Dato Keramat just opposite to Ah Leng Char Koay Teow and next to the Clark Hatch Gym. Stall is managed by an elderly uncle who is very friendly and speaks good english. It was comfortable for me to order here as there were no communication breakdown or no moody attitude treatment here with this uncle.

See the Char Sui's hanging. Yummy licious. What I like about it is that it is sweet and has sort of a strong garlic taste to it. Then it is also crispy on the outside, soft and juicy in the inside. Lovely.

This was our first plate (left: Siew Bak; right: Chai Sui). We enjoyed it so much that we ordered a second helping of the char sui. The brownish gravy here is the special sauce which has some hoisin sauce in it. It goes well with the siew bak.

Rice here is not plain boring white rice but it is the fragrant oil type which chicken rice shops should serve. Chilly sauce here had ginger and garlic to it, so if you are going on a date after this meal, you ought to think twice eating this chilly sauce.

The soup served was a diluted version of the kiam chai ark (sour soup). So it was not that wonderfull.

This is the roasted chicken we had. Chicken was good. Juicy and tasty at the same time. But for me I would certainly come back here for the char sui only.
