\"\"The latest venture by Joyden Concepts<\/a>, Ho Fook Hei at Great World City<\/strong>, is a home grown Cantonese restaurant presenting recipes that have been passed down within the family for generations. They pride themselves on the authenticity and rusticity of their food.<\/p>\n

\"\"The braising sauce of the Specialty Rose Wine Soy Sauce Chicken<\/strong> (Whole $35++|Half $19++) is delicate and fragrant with the light floral aroma of the rose wine. The chicken itself is succulent, juicy \u2013 even the breast is tender.<\/p>\n

\"\"Their other specialty dish the Honey Glazed Black Barbeque Pork Belly<\/strong> ($13++) is chunky with a good balance of sweet and salty. I particularly like their way of roasting the char siew so that it isn\u2019t over cooked \u2013 the fat still firm, the meat, moist.<\/p>\n

\"\"One of their pride and glory is their home-made Egg Noodles<\/strong> ($3.80++): thin without the pungency of alkaline water, it is delicious and reminiscent of Hong Kong’s version.<\/p>\n

\"\"The Pork and Prawn Rolls Hae Zor<\/strong> ($7.80++) is pretty normal \u2013 nothing spectacular, I wish it were prawnier, porkier just so the bite has less give.<\/p>\n

\"\"Of the two fish dishes, the Cod Fillet Steamed with Old Ginger Sauce<\/strong> ($24.80++) stands out for its generous use of ginger \u2013 a thick layer of earthy, mildly piquant ginger paste. Even though it is old ginger, it is fragrantly mellow. The fish is slightly overcooked; not as soft and moist as an oily fish like cod should be.<\/p>\n

\"\"The Seabass Fillet Steamed with Signature Nonya Assam Sauce<\/strong> ($14.80++) is one-dimensional, not spicy, just very fruity and tart. It lacks spiciness and depth of flavour.<\/p>\n

\"\"The Red Grouper Fish Fillet Congee<\/strong> ($9.80++) can definitely give any established Cantonese restaurants in Singapore a run for their money. Made with short-grain rice, it\u2019s suitably mushy, spring oniony, gingery, refreshing and wholesome tasting.<\/p>\n

\"\"The Shrimp Dumpling Soup<\/strong> ($8.80++) is a passable fare. Filling adequately full and savoury, skin a little thick. But I applaud them for using shrimp roe in the broth to give it a little more depth which is not something common here. On the other hand, the soup is reminiscent of the generic wanton soup I had had when I was a child peering through the kitchen glass and seeing the chefs open these grey sachets of soup powder, sprinkling them into boiling water.<\/p>\n

\"\"Dessert is a disappointment. The Warm Red Bean Soup with Aged Mandarin Peel and Lotus Seed<\/strong> ($4.50++) is excessively, unnecessarily thick with cornstarch; the red beans are merely a smattering. I was told this is a one off, an anomaly. I\u2019m just writing what I had. The orange peel in the red bean soup is a little overpowering for my dining companion, but for me, I think it\u2019s perfect \u2013 strongly citrussy and herbal.<\/p>\n

This is a hard restaurant to review because with the Michelin Starring of Liao Fan<\/a>, everyone seems to want in on the action. Soy Sauce Chicken is a dime a dozen; Cantonese fare, even more so. There is nothing that truly stands out; but there is nothing truly deplorable either. If you\u2019re in the area and want something Cantonese, come here. The mains won\u2019t disappoint.<\/p>\n
