A revisit to Hei Lun Shi Tang after a long hiatus. They are still located at Level 2 of Queensway Shopping Center, which serves Taiwanese Bento Box in the traditional Metal Lunch Box. Dining in allows patrons to get a Taiwanese feel of eating from the metal box.

Hei Lun Shi Tang

The Signature Braised Pork Bento was appetizing. It was packed with Braised Pork Chop, preserved vegetables, braised egg, mushroom, braised cabbage and carrot.

You would have probably been attracted by this strong aroma of The Original Katong Laksa if you were in Queensway Shopping Center. 

Stall of The Original Katong Laksa

We visited this popular The Original Katong Laksa in Roxy Square and this is one of their stores located in Queensway Shopping Center, right in the middle of 1st Floor. If you look down from the upper storey, you will get to see the staff preparing the food.

Open Kitchen

They have been around over the years and besides serving laksa, you can enjoy Curry Chicken as well as their Chicken Cutlet Rice.

Other Food

We ordered the big bowls of Laksa together with drinks and Otah to fix our craving. The bowl of laksa was filled with eggs, fish cakes, beansprouts, blood cockles and de-veined prawns were cut into halves. The bowl of Laksa was topped with the fragrant Laksa leaves.

Laksa - $7.50 (large)

Noodles were cut and we definitely enjoyed every spoonful of it. The gravy was not too thick or creamy, just of the right proportion.

I will like to try out their Chicken Cutlet Rice if I ever go there again!

I first know of WAWA LALA Bee Hoon during the covid period where we can only order food online. I was impressed by the quality of food during then. I'm quite excited when I heard that they are located at Margaret Drive which is a stone's throw away from the Queenstown MRT station. 

WaWa Lala Bee Hoon

WaWa's Lala and Cockles are daily imported and kept live in their self-built clam aquarium before going into the kitchen. They are fresh and naturally sand-less.

Fred not if you are bringing young diners aged 12 and below who do not eat clams or cockles. WAWA also do offer the Grilled Chicken Kids Pasta.

If you are a fan of Lala with Chinese Wine, you may want to pick this. The clear soup was strongly infused with Chinese wine and a Signature on their menu. You can choose either rice or glass noodle.

Fresh Clam

"Si Hum" aka Cockles Fans wanted! These Teochew Style Marinated live Cockles were fresh and juicy. WaWa team handpick them, half-boiled and manually half-shells them to ensure that they are easy for the consumers to devour. WAWA Special Sauce complements the natural sweetness of the cockles with an umami-packed flavour in every bite. Enjoy the tangy and a tad spicy treat!

Vongole Pasta is one of my all-time favourites on the Pasta Menu in any restaurant. The Spaghetti is creamy and the texture was not too soft.

Never expect the craving for Taiwanese food comes so naturally right straight away after returning back to Singapore from Taiwan in less than a week. Upon knowing it, my pal introduced me to Hei Lun Shi Tang for a quick fix. Its located at the 2nd Level of Queensway Shopping Centre just behind Tu Tu Kueh Stall.

Hei Lun Shi Tang specialised in Taiwanese Braised Pork Rice and Bento Sets. Though the kitchen is not very big, they served up to about 17 items on their menu.

Stall & Menu

The typical Bento Rice in Taiwan often comes in a paper box, suitable for commuters to eat on the go. While in Hei Lun Shi Tang,we have it from the stainless steel container. Portion is worth commenting as they are generous even with the small serving, especially the braised minced meat. Besides rice, ingredients include mixed vegetables, mushroom, braised egg, braised minced meat and pickled vegetables.

Bento Drink Set 卤肉便当 - $5 (Small)

Looking at the number 9th item on the menu, we get to enjoy a choice of soup and a bowl of braised pork rice. Likewise to the Bento Set, the braised meat was good. We had Si Chuan Vegetables Pork Rib Soup pairing up in the combo. If you like Si Chuan Soup, this is noteworthy as the Si Chuan Vegetable portion given was too, generous. Sour with a tad spicy and sweet from the tomato. The appetizing taste with the bowl of rice sums up a stomach comforting meal.

Other than selling braised rice, they also offer traditional Taiwanese items like Gong Wan & Noodles. Looks like I will be there again for these items once my crave activates again.
