SW was back in SG last week. And we arranged to have dinner with Ah Huay as we had not met up for a long time. Wanted to ask Bern along but he's busy. We went to the famous Holland V XO Fish Head Bee Hoon. I lived near Holland Road and it's pretty convenient for me to go there, so it's not my first time to eat there.

I liked the Bee Hoon Fish Soup. The XO makes it very fragrant. But sometimes they put too much of it such that it covers all other tastes, then it will be bad. I also like the San Lao and the Prawn Paste Chicken, aka Har Chiong Gai. Hong Kong St Zhen Ji still has the best San Lao, but the Holland V XO's is also not bad.

SW was late and I met up with Ah Huay first. SW sms me and tell me to order 1st, so I ordered San Lao for 2 person, XO Been Hoon Fish Soup for 2 person, 1 small plate of Har Chiong Gai, which isn't really small, 1 small plate of veggie and 1 small plate of Furong egg. The furong egg never came, think they missed out on the order, which is a good thing as SW arrived and say he has eaten. That idiot...


The first dish that comes is the Har Chiong Gai. I am pretty disappointed in it. Looking at the pic, you can see that it's charred, chao ta.


That is still ok, but it's also not fully cooked. And there's not much taste of the prawn paste either. Lousy...

The veggie came next. it's not bad at first. But it's arranged in 2 stacks, top and bottom, and when we eat to the bottom stack, where the sauce is thicker, it becomes too sweet.


The XO Bee Hoon Fish Soup is nice. This time it's just the right amount of XO. Yummy. The San Lao comes wtih alotta bean sprouts, aka tao gey, which I like. :)

This time I did not see much of the rude auntie, which is good. Can't stand her attitude. Eat there like owe her money like that. Even the boss attitude got improve. I wonder if she's the mum or what...
