It was my 4th visit to Beng Thin Hoon Kee Restaurant at OCBC Centre and each visit never never fails to disappoint....depending on what you order. It is a hokkien restaurant with a long history. Please do not mix this up with the 2nd branch they have set up in Toa Payoh. According to the boss, the branch was set by for the 2nd/3rd generation. I went there once and the standard of the food really differs a lot from the branch at OCBE Building.
The Must Have include"Roasted Chicken", "Prawn Ball and Po Piah", "Fish Maw Soup", "Stir-fried Shark Fins with egg wrapped in lettuce" and its "Hokkien Noodle". Each dish is good in its own way. What impressed me is that the quaility of the food remains the same during the different visit. This probably shows that there is strict quality control. The price is also reasonable.
However, I do not think I will ever ordered any leafy vegetables from them. We once encountered worms in their vegetables. Their explanation was that they do not use vegetables that were sprayed with psticides so such worms are inevitable. No matter what the reason may be, it is important that they wash the vegetable thoroughly before cooking. In the end, they compensated us with a plate of fruits..mangoes that were too sour to be eaten.
