Came for their signature white pepper crab but sadly it was sold out. Luckily, their signature bee hoon and clams did not disappoint — both were delicious! The crayfish was decent, though not as memorable. Be sure to pre-order the crab if you’re planning to go!

Their bee hoon is a must that it has crispy edges, packed with wok hei. Loved the fried pork and the silky eggplant. The salted egg shrimp was rich, creamy, and addictive. Always crowded, but worth the wait. Classic late-night zi char spot in SG!!

This zi char joint has built a loyal following, thanks to its menu of over 30 classic Johor Bahru-style dishes. If you'r... see more

I visited the restaurant a bit after 10 PM. It was still quite busy but luckily no wait for a table. The crowd was a mix of tourists and locals. The interior is decorated with numerous photos of the owner/head chef posing with customers, giving the place a personal touch. I tried two of their bestsellers – the white pepper crab and the meehoon. Th... see more
