You'll Be at Home at Old Kim Guan

At Old Kim Guan you can enjoy the familiar tastes of home-cooked food the way mum used to make it – simple, wholesome and satisfying. These tasty dishes are served in a relaxed, casual setting, and bring back many fond memories of home. A great place to re-live much loved flavours, whether you’re dining with family or friends.

When I entered Old Kim Guan, instantly I felt as though I was at home.

The overall ambience is homely and set in a warm lighting environment. It is clean and the staff serves with a smile and pleasant greeting. The overall touch portrays a homely feel.

Their pricing is fairly reasonable given that they open in some of the most expensive places in Singapore.

The Lychee drinks were my favorite! I love sweetness of the drink. It's one of their signature drinks!

Pig Trotters with Vinegar.

Do you know that pig trotters with vinegar are good for women after their labour?

In fact, it’s a dish that everyone, including men, can enjoy, and needless to have a fear of embarrassment. The pig’s trotters (aka pork knuckles) are so moist, tender and succulent in the tasty black vinegar. The natural collagen of pig’s trotters is very good for our health too.

Mei Cai Kou Rou

Mei Cai means preserved dried vegetable which comes in 2 versions – salty and sweet. It is best to mix both versions to cook this steamed pork dish.

The dish is made with preserved mustard greens and pork belly, and steamed so that the flavor of the pork fat and preserved mustard greens fuse together, forming a sweet and salty concoction.

Home Style Curry Chicken.

This got to be one of the best Home Style Curry Chicken I've ever tasted. It's really flavorful and the taste is slightly different from the normal curry chicken (I'm not talking about those Malay curry chicken). I'll have to give this curry chicken full marks!

Peppery Pig Stomach Soup.

Do you know that pig stomach soup is good for strengthening the stomach, invigorate middle qi, speed up recovery from ulcers and treat deficient lower jiao syndrome. A good pig stomach soup should looks clear, still slight cloudy, but not murky. The broth is really thick and peppery. Nice meaty sweet pork taste and pleasant chewy texture.

Small Prawns Dry Stirred Noodles.

Noodles are a large part of Chinese food culture and are a consistent presence in culinary creations, regardless of region or ethnic influence.

The texture of the noodles, teamed with the fishcakes the prawns and vegetables is a perfect combination and, although, as with many similar dishes, there is a surplus of oil and unnecessary calories, the spices overpower any flavor of greasiness. This is a classic not healthy but tastes almost healthy self-deception meal.
