We had wanted to order ala carte but heard there was a new dim sum buffet they have recently started to offer.
Variety wise, dim sum options were limited. They have the usual Ha Gow, Siew mai, chicken feet, 腐皮卷, but it's disappointing they do not offer porridge, steamed prawn / char siew noodle roll. Desserts were also basic, though herbal jelly was definitely refreshing to have.
We would be back for their other dishes, not dim sum.
Beng Hiang has launched its Buffet Dinner from 1 November till 31 December! The buffet is available daily from 6pm to 8:30pm and features an extensive selection of more than 25 Hokkien delights.
Here's some of what we tried:
🌟 Fried Rice with Salted Fish
• Traditional Hokkien Noodles
• Signature Fish Maw Thick Soup with Crabmeat
🌟 Steamed Red Tilapia in Nonya Style
• Chicken Wing in Prawn Paste
• Lala clams in Superior Stock
• Chicken Chop in Lychee Sauce
🌟 Sweet and Sour Pork
• Homemade Beancurd with Enoki Mushroom
Price: $28.80+ per adult & $18.80+ per child
Although not part of the buffet, their Ngoh Hiang is really worth a mention too, being flavourful and pairs well with the sweet sauce given!
Really enjoyed the slightly tangy, Assam flavour from the fish - definitely goes well with some rice/ noodles! You get a whole fish as part of the ala-carte buffet, really worth it!
Fried Rice with Salted Fish was fragrant and flavourful, and it tastes even better when you pair it with their homemade silverfish chilli!
The Oyster Omelette is a must try here! My first time having Oyster Omelette that's so crispy and flavourful. Can't say much about the oysters as I didn't try it 🤭.
Besides the restaurant’s all-you-can-eat ala carte dim sum and dinner buffet that is available daily, their menu includes an ala carte option which is suitable for takeaway and delivery. The dishes we have tasted included their Signature Hokkien Noodles ($10/$14/$18) which is braised in a savoury dark broth made from pork bones and prawns, together with a medley of seafood.
There is also the Fish Maw Thick Soup ($32/$50/$80) prepared with real crab meat that came hot while the Kong Ba Bao ($13.80/$25) is a crowd pleaser with the wonderfully braised pork belly paired with the soft steamed buns. The Ngoh Hiang ($12/$24) appetisers of spiced sausage and fried prawn balls are entirely handmade with the fillings consisting of meat and prawn in a five spice powder mix. Enjoy 10% off on ala carte orders when you order directly with the restaurant and pick up from there.

[ Food Week — Heritage Restaurants ] Singapore’s vibrant F&B scene cannot exist without the multiplicity of establishments that cater a variety of gastronomical experiences. Be it sinful local delights, elegant fine dining, or reliable international chains — these seemingly disparate segments form a cohesive, spirited whole that we have grown to love, but also take for granted.
As we extol the zeal and vigour of SG’s F&B, one group continues to be overshadowed by the accessibility of hawkers and the convenience of large chains: Heritage restaurants. (I’m guilty of this too — until the recent couple of years, I don’t think I’ve ever set foot in any of these.)
Mostly born during a period of entrepreneurial exuberance and during the cusp of burgeoning globalisation, these heritage restaurants are often a product of coupling the history of one’s rich cultural roots with SG’s unique brand of multiculturalism. The result is flavours that are reminiscent of an era long past, yet still familiar enough to evoke a sense of home, especially for those whose own history and heritage intersects these restaurants’.
And for many of us, these places stand as one of the last remaining pillars between a history we either have never known or aren’t privy to, and the sterile homogeneity of modernity.
It is this inimitable position of heritage restaurants that make them so valuable — they are living keystones of our history, and it’d be a shame to forsake them in favour of shiny new concepts that pander to aesthetics.
For those looking for their first foray into heritage restaurant, Beng Hiang (est 1978) is a friendly option for folks who enjoy old-school Hokkien dishes served with the boisterous flourish of 70-80s HK restaurants.
I’ve written about their dishes in detail prior, so here is a quick summary of what your first visit can look like:
Crispy Roasted Chicken ($20 for half/$38 for whole) — go away KFC, this is a must-get! No seriously, this puts everyone else to shame ok.
Traditional Hokkien Noodles ($10/$14/$18) — their signature; filled with goodies!
Oyster Omelette ($15/$28) — plump and juicy, yum!
For comparison, a meal like that will be a good 30-40% cheaper than at major chains. And you get larger portions too!
One of my new favourite @benghiangrestaurant Traditional Crispy Prawn wrapped with Minced Pork and Water Chestnut.

Time to drop by @BengHiangRestaurant for a feast! 😋
With a herbal note from the dried orange peels, this wasnt sweet probably because there's a lot of elderly diners here for family gatherings.
One size, 10 pcs(i asked for less buns)
Honestly didnt live up to expectations. The lean meat was dry and rather tough, but the fattier pieces fared better and gave us a glimpse into what could have been. Hopefully it's just inconsistent standards, as i dont believe a dish of this quality could become the signature dish for a restaurant. The sauce had dark flavours and it wasnt very sweet at all.
I have eaten enough Hokkien mee to know what’s an authentic one .
The ones we get to eat at most establishments may look similar appearance but they often lack the fragrance and umami of a good prawn broth and / or the fragrance of pork lard.
Most Hokkien mees out there just taste of black soy sauce and oyster sauce - plain salty and nothing else.
Beng hiang’s standard is always consistent.
The noodles are well stewed , soaking up the rich tasting gravy. I appreciate that fresh and firm prawns are used instead of those frozen crystal prawns that most places use which are not appealing at all.
The gravy is rich but not cloying and not overly salty - just nice .
Such a nice feeling to come back to this place and find that taste of familiarity again .
