Tasty zi char in the heart of Chinatown. The portion is big, hence 3 dishes for 2 is enough. The prawn here are sooo big and satisfied to bite. The lady who noted our order is very friendly and attentive. A bit pricey though.

Got here slightly before 7pm and they don’t accept reservations for 2pax so we ended queuing. There was only 2 tables in front of us but restaurant were letting in all the reserved ones. We ended up waiting 1 hour just to go in and another 10 mins to get our order taken. Food was alright. Enjoyed the big prawn hor fun. But the prawn paste chicken was served with random parts of the chicken and super dry and boney.

It's been a while since I've been back and I've forgotten how good this ZhiChar place is. Every dish we had was amazing. I particularly liked the Bittergourd Pork Rib dish, which has amazing wok hei and balance. The claypot Yong Tau Foo was also exceptional.

Kok Sen is a household name among Zhi Char fans. I have heard so much about this place and finally went to Kok Sen for dinner. They don’t take reservations so go at your own risk. We arrived before 6 pm and managed to secure a table for 2. The restaurant is situated along Keong Saik Street. They have 2 units and is air conditioned. The restaurant is spartan in decorations but is functional. It gives you an old school feel and inspire nostalgia. The customer service is average. We ordered the fish meat soup. This is probably the only dish that is good and worth its salt. The soup is tasty and it is generously accompanied with decent slices of fish. The tofu in meat and salted fish sauce is average at best. We ordered the fried ho fun with seafood and it is a tad too dry. The prawn paste chicken dish is also dry and lack flavor. The broccoli is also average. Overall the food is nothing like what I heard from my friends. The only saving grace is that the price points are reasonable. It will not bankrupt you. Maybe if I can marshal a bigger group, we will try the crabs and seafood dishes.

Haven been here for some time decided to come back here again to try the dishes. Am quite satisfied that the food is still of standard and the consistency hasn't changed much. Food wise is still good and the speed they serve food seems to be pretty fast now. Ordered the usual signature dishes and they were all very satisfying. 1st time trying the golden chicken, a little expensive but worth it. Also 1st time trying the beef with bitter gourd and it was really good. My usual favourites are the claypot Yong Tau Foo and the prawn Sang Mee. As usual this place attract crowds so there was quite a queue when I arrived. Thank God they do actually allow reservation for groups bigger than 6 so it's a good tip to find a group to share the food and skip the queue. Definitely deserves the Bib Gourmand.

Everything was so good, very well deserved be a Michelin Bib Gourmand authentic Singapore local food. There are a few must try’s - the big prawn noodles/ Ho fun; golden dragon chicken; Yong Tau Fu, braised bitter gourd with black beans. We have been here many times and it never fails us. Restaurant is always very crowded, it is better to make a reservation. Service is good and food is served without a long wait.

Saw the 2021 Bib Gourmand label when walking past looking for a dinner in the area. So we immediately sat down at one of the tables on street level and ordered some random dishes from the menu. So here is what I can say: All three dishes were spot on. First dish were stir fried prawns with leeks and ginger, 12$ a piece. The buggers were ginormous, juicy and succulent. Next up was frog in a clay pot covered in a tangy, dark sauce. Loved it. The frog had plenty of meat on the bone and was super tender. Last dish was sea cucumber with mushrooms in a gooey sauce. Mushrooms could have been mistaken for abalone, that’s how good this was. Beers were ice cold, the prices were pretty decent for what you get and service was friendly and efficient. Just one recommendation: Grab a table on the street, so outside the actual restaurant. Inside it is pretty ugly. But well you come here for the food not the atmosphere.
