Honguo (NEX) - 23 Serangoon Central B1

I ordered 3 cup chicken noodle. What I got is totally different from what it was shown in picture. One big mushroom with big leaves of green vege and big chunk of chicken shown in menu. But what I got it pathetic strains of mushrooms that nearly can be seen in my plate. Green vege can be seen but very thing small slices in few piece can still be seen in plate. Instead of big chunks of chicken, I definitely not more than 10 very small pieces of chicken. I feel cheated by the picture shown in menu.

Ordered their food via delivery platform several times. Most of their dishes that I've tried are enjoyable and flavourful (even after the delivery journey), you'll like them if you're a fan of China mala-type tastes. It might be too spicy and salty for those not used to these flavours. I like their fried rice - both the XO Seafood one and the Pork One one come in ample portions. Sze Chuan Chicken - yummy! Always a winner. But some might find it too salty, and the portion is not big. Doumiao - generous portion, no complaints, easy crowd pleaser. Dry beancurd salad - inconsistent. Sometimes perfectly cooked, sometimes too spicy, sometimes too bland. I wish it would be good every time we ordered it. Pork dumpling with chilli sauce - nice, quite spicy, tastes like authentic China cuisine to me. Pumpkin fries with salted egg yolk - unimpressed, because it's a little bland and the salted egg taste wasn't quite right. But it's not terrible, still edible. Crispy silver fish - not a fan of this either. Silver fish usually should be fried till super crispy, at least based on what I've eaten at numerous restaurants, but this is the first time I've eaten silver fish that's still soggy and meaty and soft. Taste-wise, abit too strong and fishy.

Clean and tidy restaurant. Not many items on the menu. Had a dish similar to a mala hot pot. Too oily and spicy. Maybe its authentic for local, but not for us. Drinks are expensive, but not worth it. Had hot lime tea which was bit hard to drink, and ice milo was not good also.

Pretty standard food and value for money. Other than the meat stick that can be skip completely. Love the seasoned cucumber.

Restaurant was empty during mid day; I had the signature meal 9 items plus a side dish with drinks. Mixian was warmed n delicious. But I prefer tamjar samgor mixian that offers more variations thought the broth was tastier. Overall alright but I won’t return.

Quite disappointed with the quality of food. Even the basic was not met. Fried peanuts were not crispy. Fried chicken lack crispiness and aroma. Should not happen for a restaurant restaurant's mall.

This place empty during non peak but quite full during meal time. Food are okay (that’s why I gave them 4), and their food price are standard. About $13-$18 for a meal in aircon area. The aunty is really attentive and fast, kudos to her! My water keep getting refilled. Definitely 5 stars of service.

Seats were very uncomfortable. No back support and made me feel like I was leaning backwards. Music was blasting so loudly I couldn't hear what my wife was saying. Unfortunately, the staff didn't make the experience any better. They asked questions that we had already indicated in our order. When asked what dish was being served, staff was unable to answer. How then to know if the correct dish was being served to the correct table? I got some beef soup and was very turned off by the soup. It was painfully salty that I had to leave the soup untouched. Tried the pork chop was a side dish and it was OK, nothing adverse about it. The Mrs had the fish Mala soup but she shared that the fish wasn't fresh and had that fishy smell that came with un fresh fish being used in the cooking. It was not a pleasant experience.
