Food Review: Hill Street Coffee Shop x Ipoh Lou Yau Bean Sprouts Chicken

The name Hill Street originated as it was situated at the bottom of the Government Hill, now Fort Canning Hill. Located near the port and in Xiao Po of early Singapore, Hill Street witnessed the hustle and bustle of early Singapore. Till date, Hill Street houses some of Singapore’s oldest gazette national monuments such as Armenian Church, The Central Fire Station and The Old Hill Street Police Station. Other icons include, Coleman Bridge, Stamford House and Stamford Court.

Kopi - $1.80

The kopi was average. The coffee aroma wasn't strong enough and it wasn't that smooth nor bitter enough.

Taste: 1/5

Iced Milo - $2.50

Normal.

Soft Boiled Egg - $1.40 (2 eggs)

The egg was slightly over boiled.

Steamed Peanut-Butter Bread x Steamed Kaya Butter Bread - $1.80/ 1 slices

The steamed bread was just normal. The jam that they spread on the bread is SUPER LITTLE, as like never put at all!!

A set of toast cost $4.70, it come with a cup of coffee/tea, 2 eggs and 1 slices of bread.

Taste: 1/5

Food: 0.5/5
Ambiance: 1.5/5
Service: NA

Overall, the food was very normal. I would rather go TOASTBOX than come here for breakfast.

Ipoh Bean Sprouts Chicken, a dish synonymous with Ipoh, an old town in Malaysia. Affectionately known as ‘Nga Choi Gai’ in Cantonese to the food enthusiasts, Ipoh’s signature dish is famous among the locals and well-travelled foodies from different parts of the world. The secret for its fame and popularity lies in the originality and fresh, locally grown ingredients that looks deceivingly simple, yet distinctly scrumptious.

Kampong Chicken - ($9.50 for 2, $19.90 for half, $39.90 for whole)

The chicken was overcooked as it was quite hard and it wasn't soft and tender. The bean sprouts was crunchy and fresh but it doesn't help much in it. The main thing of the dish ruin everything.

Taste: 0.5/5

Ipoh Hor Fun - $4.50

The ipoh hor fun wasn't that fantastic too as the gravy was very bland.

Taste: 0.5/5

Food: 0/5

Ambiance: NA

Service: 1/5

Overall, this kampong chicken rice doesn't worth the money. I would rather go normal food court and eat than come here and have their chicken rice.

Food Review: Dim Sum: Paradise Dynasty, Canton Paradise, Imperial Treasure Noodle & Congee House, Luk Yu Tea House, Victor's Kitchen

Jthejon Dim Sum Hunt!!

First Stop, Paradise Dynasty.

Paradise Dynasty started from a "Tze char" stall. Within few years, they had turn the "Tze Char" stall to a Chinese restaurant and opened not just in Singapore, they even brought it over to Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Japan and China.

Paradise Dynasty Signature Xiao Long Bao (XLB) - ($14.80)

The flavors are: Garlic (Gray), Ginseng (Green), Truffle (Black), Cheese (Yellow), Szechuan (Red), Foie Gras (Brown), Crab Roe (Orange), and Original (White).

The skin was perfectly done, it wasn't that thick and the color of the XLB wasn't by artificial colorings, it was made from the natural ingredients. The pork meat was tender and fresh. The broth taste depend on what flavor of XLB you ate.

Drunken Chicken - $9.80

The drunken chicken was served in a cold style, it wasn't the typical style. The chicken texture was hard and a slightly raw. Although alcohol was added but it doesn't help at all.

Hong You Chao Shou - $10.80

Hong You Chao Shou actually was spicy dumpling. The spicy dumpling was good, the skin texture was soft and chewy. The pork meat was tender and fresh. The best part is the spicy sauce, it was spicy and fragrant. Spicy lovers is a must for you guys to order it.

The unassuming appearance of the humble noodle belies the expertise required to perfect this staple of Chinese cuisine. Be it the classic you mian, traditional hand-pulled la mian or fried ho fun, there’s nothing like the simple sustenance of a plate of noodles. At Imperial Treasure Noodle & Congee House, it served your favorite types of noodles with generous helpings of beef brisket, pork, or even wanton prawn dumplings for a fulfilling meal.

Luk Yu Teahouse offer dim sum of a wide variety. From the classic dim sum like siew mai to uniquely crafted dishes like wasabi mango prawns, there is a little something for every palate at affordable prices.

Fifth Stop, Victor's Kitchen.

Tucked in a cosy corner in Singapore's bustling Orchard district, Victor's Kitchen serves exquisite Hong Kong-style dimsum in a friendly kopitiam setting. The chief chef, a Hong Kong transplant, moved to Singapore over 10 years ago with the intention of bringing authentic dimsum to the shores. He was previously a chef in Victoria Hotel, a five-star hotel in Hong Kong.

(This photo was taken from online.)

Milk Tea

The milk tea was served in unique way. The ice and the milk tea was separated. It was an good idea, so that when the ice melted it won't be so diluted. The milk tea was smooth, rich and fragrant. It's a must-order drink.

Salted egg york custard pau

Was listed one of the best "Liu Sa Pau" 流沙包 in Singapore. It was really good that you will be back just for their "Liu sa pau". The custard was pretty flowy and you can taste the salted egg york in the pau.

Fried Beancurd skin with pork

The skin was a little bit dry but the meat was fresh and juicy. The meat saved the dry texture of the skin.

Rice Roll with Char Siew

The rice roll was pretty average. The char siew just an ordinary char siew, nothing special about it.

Siew Mai

The siew mai was a bit disappointing as it was a little bit salty but it was meaty enough.

Food: 2/5
Ambience: 2.5/5
Service: 2.5

Food was just so so, but the Liu Sa Pau was really good. I don;t mind going back just for their Liu Sa Pau. Price wise, it was reasonable.
