Old Lai Huat Seafood Restaurant - 223 Rangoon Rd

Went there for lunch with my son. We don't usually come to this branch. I know of at least 2 others. The food was good, and the deep-fried sambal pomfret is one of the family's favourites! I still think yeh food's great, but of I didn't give them 5 stars, it's because they seem to have gotten pricier...

Old style tze char. Taste that I have not had for many many years. If you looking for food and taste from yesteryears, you may just find it here. Service is haphazard. The dishes came out in illogical order. Probably due to mass cooking of certain popular dishes.

Really love their sambal belachan fish. Spicy without being too hot. Sotong and cripy tofu are really great too. One of the best zhi car in town that focuses on seafood.. Great service too with air con dining area and high ceilings..

Used to go to their ol shop at the corner of the traffic light before their move to the current location. The place serves ol school tze char especially the sambal fish. Of coz ot taste much better when serve hot at the shop, ordered home not really as good but cant complain as it still very tasty

Ordered a sambal fish for dinner. Fish was fried nicely and very cripsy, even some bones can be eaten. They laid the fish with a thick layer of sambal which can be a bit less salty. But those who like strong flavours should not be an issue. Service can be improved a little as well.

Old school zhi char restaurant located at Rangoon Road. Have patronised the bak kut teh restaurants around the area but somehow missed this restaurant until now. They have been here for the longest time! They have quite a long menu with the standard type of dishes you can find in other similar zhi char places. Ordered the flat fish, tou fu, fried baby sotong, sambal kangkong and har cheong chicken wings. As this is the cny period they do offer lou hei but it is at $50. With the limited dining pax of 5, we decided to skip. The fried flat fish was nice. Very crispy and the chilli paste topping was not too spicy. Matched very well with the fish. Tou fu was soft and tasty and baby sotong was crispy as well. The other dishes were quite standard. The dishes were above average as compared to other zhi char stalls and price is also quite reasonable. The restaurant was quite empty on a Friday evening and this is probably not a good sign for business. Maybe because this restaurant is located at the other end of Rangoon Road away from the Mrt station and I don't think there's any public buses. Not very accessible unless driving.. but parking space is also limited. This restaurant is recommended for some local taste zhi char.

Found this place after many years! But I must admit that I was a little disappointed. The fried balacan fish was still very good. Crispy & flavourful. Just don't look at the oil :p. Crispy baby squid was the best dish of the night. Black pepper crayfish was ?. It's dry & quite tasteless. Deep fried fritters was expected. The rest of the dishes we ordered were nothing spectacular. Perhaps I was expecting a lot more as it was one of my favourite Tze char places many years back when they were still at Kallang. Do make a reservation if you are planning to visit. It's very popular with limited seating.

6 adults 3 kids cost as close to $190. We ordered sambal pomfret fish, baby squid, salad youtiao, crispy tofu, sweet potato leaves, mee goreng, sweet and sour pork , a pot of Chinese tea, 2 beers. What I like about this place is the old school , heritage restaurant. Pay now is accepted here besides cash. Food is served pretty fast, less than 10 mins , we received our first dish. My fav dishes are mee goreng and sweet potatoes leaves . The crispy tofu doesn’t come with any sauce / dips. We asked for mayo to go with it . I noticed the ones who dine in are mostly big families. They have indoor seating and limited outdoor seating . Might be hard to find parking around here.
