today was birthday celebration part 3, where darling went online to search for nice nyonya restaurants, and she found a quite famous and popular one called guan hoe soon, which is located at 38 joo chiat PLACE. remember it is joo chiat PLACE. not joo chiat ROAD.
my first time eating nyonya food was at malacca, where dashimon brought us to this nyonya restaurant. so having eaten that, i had quite high expectations of nyonya food. thank goodness the nyonya food at guan hoe soon din disappoint and its really not bad! i will definitely recommend this place to everyone!
because there was only two of us, so we ordered only 3 dishes and one soup:
nyonya chap chye - the dish made famous by mediacorp drama 小娘惹
ayam buah keluak - also another dish made famous by 小娘惹
ikan sambal belachan - this one is really the clear winner, in terms of taste and PRICE
fish maw soup. taste very very nice. can fight with the fish maw soup that i had at malacca.
our dessert - chendol. VERY VERY SWEET. i have a very high threshold for sweetness. so if i say that it is very very sweet, IT IS REALLY REALLY REALLY VERY SWEET to the majority of the pple.
i really dun mind going there again to try the rest of the dishes! i give the restaurant a rating of 9 put of 10!
