    Restoran Xing HengNon halal 01f78899591256b47a2708a65f6538333b86089a30fbd22545a41deece4ea490

    From a first glance, Restoran Xing Heng may not be that eye appealing due to its rustic looking signboard. But nevertheless, this indicates that this restaurant has somewhat been around for a while. As seen on the signboard, crab is one of the main highlights here. If you’re indecisive on which taste to choose from, go for the Salted Egg Crab. This light creamy looking crab tasted just about right and it leaves you with a mellow mouthfeel on every bite! Otherwise, Kam Heong Crab here is equally tasty too!

    Tips

    Set meals for two persons and above are available on weekdays.

    Things to expect

    A simple Chinese restaurant. Ample parking bays..

    Best with

    Garlic Pork.
