[CLOSED] Swee Kee Eating House

I've always enjoyed the sliced fish soup at Kasoh at SGH. The branch at Tanjong Pagar was a good alternative near my office but I would definitely go back to the SGH branch if time permits!

I usually order the signature sliced fish noodles soup whenever I go to Swee Kee Eating House (aka Ka-Soh), but I decided to try out other items on the menu this time round. Ka-Soh Signature Pork Ribs ($9.50) remind me of a more flavourful version of Ding Tai Feng’s pork cutlet. It comes with a sweet dark sauce dip at the side which complements the savouriness of the juicy pork ribs. Pretty pleased with my new find at Ka-Soh:)!

I usually order the signature sliced fish noodles soup whenever I go to Swee Kee Eating House (aka Ka-Soh), but I decided to try out other items on the menu this time round. Ka-Soh Signature San Lou Hor Fun ($10.50) is a simple dish of hor fun stir fried with bean sprout and fish slices, but the taste is on point. It is super wok-heiy and garlicky, and the fish slices are very fresh. Pretty pleased with my new find at Ka-Soh:)!

This place holds fond memories for me as I remember when I was my dad used to buy this home from supper every time he worked late.

I love the traditional method used to cook this whereby the kitchen would first deep fry the snakehead fish bones before cooking the stock for hours till it forms a white milky base. Many places improvise by adding canned evaporated milk to give that creamy mouth feel, but Ka-Soh still use the labour-intensive way.
•
The soup is paired with simple ingredients of thick white rice noodles and crunchy vegetables before being finished with Chinese wine which adds a subtle depth of flavour.
•
The fish is sliced quite thinly and it costs $7.50 but that broth is a winner..... and the lard too

One of the best san lou hor fun around!

I love eating at Ka Soh. You’ll know that you’re gonna have a great comforting bowl of noodles, no matter which one you order. It probably has to do with the restaurant being around for almost five decades.

I had its Ka-Soh signature san lou hor fun which can be shared or consumed by an hungry individual. I was the hungry individual. One can smell the noodles before it even arrives at your table due to its distinct wok hei aroma. The starchy noodles are packed with fresh fish slices and crunchy bean sprouts. Sprinkle some slices of green chili and you’ll have an awesome comforting dish.

Though the fish broth is thick, i find that there is a fishy taste to it. I still prefer the fish used by Han Kee
