Whenever I’m craving scrambled eggs, Kong Cafe is my go-to. Just look at that massive pile of moist, fluffy, creamy scrambled eggs. The salad is also nicely dressed and seasoned.
It’s been a long time since I came here, and it was good to come back to charred broccoli and scrambled egg whites again. The sweet potato in this summer menu is not the usual mashed version but rather half a baked orange sweet potato, which I found too sweet. Everything else was delicious.

Most people order the dry version, but I prefer my wanton noodles with soup. This wasn’t the Hong Kong type of wanton noodles with a light clear soup. Instead it had a very strong tasting, aromatic and salty soup that was not to my liking. I liked the springy QQ noodles, but the wantons were hard and the char siew was dry.
Quality comfort food. There’s a good amount of bouncy fishballs, smooth fish cake, and a single her piao. I like it that they use the slimmer type of kway teow. The soup is light yet tasty. You can see the tiny pork remnants that they used to boil the soup, and it doesn’t leave you thirsty.
The dough of this pancake is interesting. It’s made in a different way using a starter dough, and the result is a gummy kueh-like texture. Some people think it’s undercooked, but personally I liked it, and felt it went well with the crunchy, sweet peanut filling.
Do note that the waiting time can be long, as the elderly couple make each large pancake one at a time, and there’s a long waiting time between each large pancake. At 8.30am on a weekday, there were about 10 people ahead of me in the queue and I waited 50min.
Someone warned me to bring a spoon. It was a good suggestion. The peanut crumbs fell out of the pancake easily and without the spoon I would have quickly gotten into a sticky mess.
It is titled thick soup, and it lives up to its name. The soup is extremely thick and filling, and has a very nice seafood taste. With every scoop you get a generous portion of seafood as well. This feeds 2-3 persons and it’s value for money given how filling it is.
Crunchy cabbage with fish tofu and wolf berries poached in a broth. I really liked the light, flavourful, opaque broth. The tofu stuffed with fish paste was a nice addition to the vegetables.
The dough is soft and chewy, and not too thick. The dough-to-filling ratio is just nice, with plenty of filling but not too much. The pancake itself isn’t very large, which is good as you don’t feel like you’re overeating. The coconut filling is just sweet enough. Overall I really liked this.
A slab of grilled fish, accompanied by lemon and salsa verde, with a choice of salad or side (I had the kale tabbouleh salad). The fish was a tad dry, but that’s a tiny complaint. It was otherwise smooth, firm and salted just right. I liked the salad which was fresh and had a light and tasty dressing.
Thin ee mee served with vegetables, mushrooms, and half a lobster. This was delicious! There were only a few lobster chunks but they were fresh and well-sized. The dish was large and full of other ingredients as well, and too big for one person to finish.
This is 400g of tiger prawns, wok fried with ginger. You get to choose other methods of cooking as well, such as steamed, or cooked with chilli or Szechuan style. The prawns were thick, succulent and fresh. Best of all, they were already peeled. Definitely worth the price.
Spaghetti with tomato cream sauce, and four huge vegetable balls. One was beetroot, one was quinoa, and two were chickpea. I loved the vegetable balls, especially the beetroot and quinoa ones. It’s a bit pricey compared to other things on the menu, but it’s delicious.
