Hainanese

Lunch menu only as British Hainan will be serving their menu in the evening. This beef noodle was originally from Wah Eng beef noodles and they have since been collaborating with British Hainan to have their beef noodles available for the lunch time crowd. The beef is really soft and sliced thinly for that juicy texture in your mouth. I really liked the peanut and pickled vegetables added as condiments over the beef noodles which adds depth to the dry beef broth.

They do offer normal non-wagyu beef noodles around $6.50 who those on a budget. Likewise, for those who wants to splurge a little, they have Kagoshima/Kyushu wagyu beef as an alternative.

If you want some authentic hainanese style western food, this humble family eatery should definitely be on your list.

I have been here many times and it's still my family's favorite place for the amazing food, service and the price.

While they are famous for their Ox Tail, which is my dad's favorite dish and he ordered anyway, I ordered one of their newer item on the menu, the Rosemary Lamb Shank. I can't fully stress how soft and tender the meat is; I simply just need a fork for the meal. It's just so juicy and the marination speaks length for the arduous preparation process.

One of the things I really like about this place is the hospitality. Even before you start ordering your food, you will be warmly greeted by the staff and ushered to your seat. You will also be immediately attracted to the surroundings filled with stuffs of the previous century.

Lastly you will be extremely pleased to hear that they DO NOT charge extra GST and Service charges. If you are in Joo Chiat area, you should definitely try this place.
