Kok Sen Eating House @ Keong Siak Road

The Mom passed by this coffee shop tons of times to be tempted to try one evening. Hardly an empty table even on a week day night and tables were laid along the walk way even.





Sliced Fish Soup

Ordinary at best, battle was lost at the first slurp. Broth was a tad weak.

Prawn Mee

Their highly recommended signature that looked like a laksa version of prawn noodle. I found it hard to reconcile the taste to the expected. Hardly impressive with a strong taste of prawns and it dissipates into a mild sweetness. While the prawns were fresh, the yee mee ended up too soggy after soaking in the gravy for too long.

 

Pork Ribs

These were rather lean and sliced somewhat too thin but the flavour was spot on with the sticky sauce.

Stir Fried Kailan

Truth be told, I have not encountered a badly fried kalian dish before. This was not too badly fried.

Steamed Fish

Overcooked, bleh.

Cereal Prawns

My favouritest dish of the night! The prawns could be eaten whole – shell and feelers and what not. Delicious mix of cereal! I could not help but reach for extra helpings of the crispy delight.

 

 

Prawn Paste Chicken

These overfried crispy chicken bites had a stale taste about it, possibly kept too long in the freezer though the companions did chide me with “chickens obviously have chicken smell”.

 

Fair enough that this meal totalled to about $170 odd for 9 of us but food is rather average and certainly overhyped. Most dishes came with kale which was what we also ordered, somewhat of an overload.
