I really liked the concept of the colourful sign boards and decorations which were bursting with life. This was one of the reason which diverted my attention from other restaurants.
My friends and I customized 2 bowls and ordered 1 'Tai Koo Boy' to try. Since I am a HUGEEEE fan of spicy food, I customised my order of signature spicy curry soup along with eggs, white radish and bean curd puff. Wanted to try the pork knuckle but it was out of stock :(
Though the soup was light, I would say that I was disappointed as it was only lightly spiced. Not quite the taste I was expecting.
Tried some of Tai Koo Boy and it was not too bad while the chicken soup was too light (again).
My verdict: Although reasonably priced around 8.80++, I will not be here returning any sooner, and will probably try out other selections if I do
For a starter, this bowl of goodness is only charged at $3.50
Disclaimer: it was my first time ordering and I was really expecting just a simple meal of kuay teow with a few fish balls / fish cake thrown in and at most, some minced meat like any other - but this came instead.
The factor which made this soup stand out was the generous amount of ingredients added. Especially the white radish which was uncommon (I love it!). Other toppings such as the fried pork lard and fried onions enhanced the overall flavour as well.
Honestly, the amount of kuay teow given is more than your usual portion, so inform them beforehand if you want a smaller serving ☺ other than that, I find the soup a tad oily but will still recommend nevertheless.
Go for this option if you want a nice bowl of hot soup to comfort you on a rainy day 🥣
