月光河粉 ($6) & 咖啡排骨 ($15)!
Two tze char classics: moonlight hor fun with a raw egg yolk on top, and coffee pork ribs in a glossy coffee glaze. $21.
A Friday tze char dinner with BB, ordering two house classics to share: 月光河粉 (moonlight hor fun, $6) and 咖啡排骨 (coffee pork ribs, $15). 😋
What we had ($21 total):
- Moonlight hor fun: wok-fried flat rice noodles with a raw egg yolk on top, prawns, squid, bean sprouts and greens
- Coffee pork ribs: crispy pork ribs in a glossy coffee glaze with sesame
The moonlight hor fun earns its name from the raw egg yolk sitting in the centre like a little moon. You break it and stir it through the hot, smoky noodles, and it coats every strand in a silky, carbonara-like richness. The hor fun had good wok hei, that charred-edge smokiness, with prawns and squid tucked through and bean sprouts for crunch. Stirring the yolk in is the best part.
The coffee pork ribs were the showstopper. Bite-sized ribs deep-fried crisp then tossed in that distinctively Singaporean coffee sauce, dark, sticky and lacquered, with the roasty bitterness of coffee cutting through the sweet-savoury soy glaze. Finger-licking, slightly addictive, and a great match for the rich noodles.
One smoky and silky, one sweet, crispy and bitter-edged, the two played off each other brilliantly. A cracking little tze char spread for $21.
Overall: 4.7 / 5. 😋👍🏼 Silky moonlight hor fun and sticky, coffee-glazed pork ribs, a classic tze char pair. Would re-visit.
