Boey Chong Kee
Spanning over 50 years, this hidden gem has been churning out homemade Cantonese fare that are pocket-friendly. Despite the unassuming outlook, patrons have been returning religiously since day one as flavours matter the most, always. Be spoilt with choices but make sure their stir-fried mushroom graces up your table too. Handful of button mushrooms are stir-fried with century egg and thick soy sauce, forming an interplay of flavour and texture at every mouthful, and it depletes way faster than other dishes on offer. If you’re on a budget, just a mound of white rice is enough to have you leaving with a wide smile.

Coya Healthy Cuisine
Healthy meals may sound like biting a bullet to many as it’s either expensive or fails to perk up your palate. To change your frame of mind, Coya Healthy Cuisine would be a great starting point to leap into the healthy bandwagon. The interior is fairly simple, in a good way and fully air conditioned, while the menu is pretty extensive. If mushroom is your jam, sure you wouldn’t want to miss their deep-fried mushroom! It’s certainly a snazzier version of shiitake mushroom, which is thinly sliced and fried to crunchy goodness, then sprinkled with a handful of sesame seeds. As soon as you wrap your lips around the first piece, in a blink off an eye, all you see is a polished platter.
