If this is your first time here looking for the menu, you could find this dish featured on top of their signage.
Yes, don’t hesitate to order it. The baby squid are fried yet retain their original texture. So enjoyable eating them.
Good portion for sharing with people, I find their fried chicken crispy and with a hint of wine flavour in it.
Hong Lim Food Centre usually very quiet at night, but this particular zi char stall at the corner on level 2 would be constantly cooking dishes upon orders.
They only open in the evening, which making it a perfect quiet place to grab some decent Cantonese style of zi char dishes.
Their individual menu of noodles are also very popular here, and I love the wok hei taste of this.
Topped with generous gravy that made from black bean sauce, which I find their’s so fragrant and tasty. Pieces of tender fish accompanied by hor fun and veggie.

Steamed Song Fish Head in HK style.
Black bean sauce, garlic, chilli, plum & Lardon
So good, on days, have the whole fish head for myself.

Stir fried HK Kai Lan w garlic.
HK Kai Lan has thicker stem which is the jewel to the crown.
Sweet, juicy.
_
Steamed chicken w salted fish in soy sauce.
Another classic Cantonese dish, replacing chicken with pork, is available almost everyday on the dining table where home chefs dish this out in minutes.
Flavourful w saltiness from the salted fish.

猪油捞飯
Plain rice w pork lard.
A very classic way to have a bowl of rice for dinner.
During days where cooking oil is not easily available, every household will harvest their cooking oil from animal fats, cheapest being pork fats.
The fried pork lardons are eaten as a condiment.
Sometimes, dinner means just pork lard & lardons when one is late for dinner or not having a good appetite for the day.
A raw egg is sometimes added, topped with rice, mixed w lard & lardon.
_
Today, certain restaurants are upscaling this humble lardons into a celebrity status.
Topped with salt, pepper, garlic, chilli, a bowl of lardon will set you back by $8 to $20 w limited orders available.
