BENG THIN HOON KEE RESTAURANT Hokkien Cuisine







Well its been a long time since i last reviewed a real food cuisine.


Me and Mum first chance upon this Well known Hokkien Cuisine through watching Channel 8's "HDB Tai Tai 2"....
i know i know, very 'auntie' rite?
hey, actually i wun consider it 'auntie', its a lifetyle show. *okie okie im giving execuses...**


Anyways,
The show was showing all the food and i was drooling and dazzling all the way man.
Being brought up to eat in quite a traditional hokkien and cantonese cusinie because of my family roots,
i've learnt to appreciate both and i LOVE it a lot.
yes, of cox western sandwhich is healthy and soup is good.
but hey,
nothing beats a good old juciy 'Kou Rou Bao' *with minimal fat* , 'BLack Hokkien Mee' , 'YAm Basket' and 'Roasted Meat'.
Plus a nice bowl of frangrance soft white rice.... *Smacks fingers*!


haha.
well, so i found out through my trusty 'hungrygowhere.com' and
Voala!
ITs located at Chulia St (Raffles Place)
gd. central location.


Book a date with my mum and my sista and
off we went.
once we step out of the esculator,
Whoa....
Traditional Chinese Building smack right in the middle of a carpark on OCBC Building.
!!!
okie, tats a gd start...
feels a bit funnny but its the food that counts.


Next, whoa...
menu list was fantastic and the Pricing was SUPERB.
superbly EX. -___-"
oh well...
gd food its worth it for i guess..


decided on a 6 course menu that will satisfy the whole family including kay.
i hope. haha.
On the List was: "Cold Duck Salad" , "Fish Maw Soup", "Black Hokkien MEe" , "Kou Rou Bao" , "YAm Backet" , "STeamed White Promfet Fish *i dun know how to spell it*" and "Or-Ni *Yam paste dessert*". Oh, we ordered extra "Nor-Hiang" too... but it was disappointing Nor Hiang.


Food?
MElts in your mouth and linger in your taste buds and give you the "ahhhhh" factor.
Every food was above average. *Except for the nor-hiang.
My fav? if i really had to choose, it will be the OR-NI !!!
haha
i told u im a dessert person.
i think i can finish the whole pot myself!
even chinese desserts appeal to me!


the Or-Ni is not too overwhelmingly sweet and had a nice touch of fragrance yam on the nose. the ginko nut was fresh and its not too oily cox they didn put in the coconut milk....
whao...
fantastic finishing to a gd meal with my family heehee =] !


so, to sum up,
at the end of the day,
even though the service was average and in fact, i didn even like the supervisor,
i think her subordinates did a better service job than her..
okie, back to the food,
although it meant eating less and cheap for the rest of the month,
the $200+ meal at Beng Thing was actually quite worth it.
and its for 5 person.
okie la.


$$ fly sob sob.
my heart was alive when i ate, but was torn apart with we paid.
haha
=]
i guess, im willing to spent on gd food,
cox nothing beats that satisfaction and happiness from food....
happy weekend!
