Came with a big group and unfortunately didn't have time to catch up on the history of the restaurant. Simple and no frills Chinese food. I felt the best dish was the noodles, which was well textured and tasty. Most of their dishes appeared to reuse similar base ingredients such as the type of vegetables, which gave good fiber content but may put off those looking for variety. Price was reasonable. There was a queue when we visited on Saturday night.

Visited the restaurant for dinner. The restaurant was full but the queuing time is relatively short and we were served a table almost immediately. The restaurant had two sections, both are air conditioned. The prices are quite affordable. The noodles have a traditional taste and aroma and the food items are well prepared. The food arrived quickly and the staff are very friendly. This is definitely a satisfying dinner experience, suitable for family and friends!

After hearing good reviews by @reenegey, I decided to try the Heng Hua food here for myself. Also helmed by the third generation, just like @laiwahrestaurant, it was good to see that they are trying equally hard to maintain good food at affordable prices for the masses. If you don't know what to order and are just thinking to try their signature or recommended dishes, you will end up none the wiser. Almost everything on the menu is recommemded😅. Which is a pretty good strategy actually 🤔. The iconic and staple Heng Hua dishes, such as their Lor Mee, Fried Bee Hoon and 啦啦 Stir Fried Flower Clams were all well done. They weren't oily, and not overpowering in tastes but yet yummy and comforting. Their Stir Fried Kai Lan with Beancurd Skin was refreshing and not salty, not oily. I ordered the small portions of everything, so that we could try more dishes. The small Oyster Soup, with Egg and Seaweed, was fresh and like homemade soup. But there were only 5 oysters. So if you are the one serving, do start by distributing one each, before you run out of oysters half way... 😅 The Fried Prawn Fritters were much smaller than expected, but the prawn and batter were fresh and came piping hot. Good enough to eat on its own, or you could dip in their sweet sauce. I enjoyed their drinks and tried almost every single cold drink that they have. Iced Lychee Tea was my favourite, followed by Cold Barley Drink and Lime juice. They open 12noon-10pm daily, except on Monday. #choowai2022 #wongchoowaieats #wongchoowai #mingchungrestaurant #sgfoodinfluencers #sgfoodbloggers #sgfoodshare #yummy #dinner #henghua #food #foodie #foodphotography #lala #lormee #beehoon #chinesefood

Walked in on Saturday evening @ 1715hrs. Probably a little early to bump into dining crowd. Fish head soup is good; can taste the cooking wine, and it's not too salty. I'd rate it 7/10 for a soup lover. Beancurd with veg also not too salty. Can taste the wok in the tofu, which adds to the taste. Prawn ___.. Has the traditional taste and also not too salty. The white lor mee is quite soupy and not overly salty. The noodle for me, is a little on the "soggy" side. Overall enjoyed the dish. Fried fish roe was sold out. Will surely revisit

Very good hing hwa cuisine. Probably serving this cuisine way before it became popular. The dishes were generally less salty and less oily. Still you get a really good meal if you liked hing hwa food.

Visited this restaurant again with my friends after a number of years. Think the last time we visited was sometime before covid strikes. Food quality and standard still very well maintained. Definitely must try the lor mee which is a classic dish of theirs. We tried the pork trotters mee hoon this time too. The bee hoon didn’t have the taste of the pork trotters and we assumed they might be fried separately. This was one dish we thought could be done better by making the bee hoon more flavorful. Other than that, the usual old school home—cooked taste which we liked.

Has a very home cook food that’s tasty and not too salty The fried mee is quite nice and and alternative towards lor mee The mee sua is quite similar w the lor mee actually with just less than 0.5cm thickness diff Kailan w beancurd and the prawn roll were average Abit sad their chilli not spicy and they also only serve but chilli so missing out for those spicy lovers Their homemade barley is also made with winter melon sugar. Very old school Can try if in area

I had the pleasure of dining there with a group of friends, and we all agreed that the food was delicious and reasonably priced. Our favorites were the Lor Mee, a dish of tender noodles soup, and the Sabal Kangkong, a delicious stir-fried morning glory dish. Although the other menu items were also delicious, these were the standouts. Keep in mind that the restaurant does not accept reservations, so be sure to arrive early as it fills up quickly.

Decently crowded on national day, but the boss/manager of the restaurant was really attentive to our needs and service staff were friendly! Great oyster fried egg, har chiong kai (prawn paste fried chicken), fried fish and awesome henghwa lormee and fried mee suah. Chrysanthemum tea was also surprisingly sweet with a good fragrance which is rare for Chinese restaurants nowadays. Airconditioned seating was very pleasant. A good place to gather, although dinner reservations in advance are not accepted, so you'll have to queue in advance on more crowded days.

Food 2/5 Service 3/5 Price 2/5 Overall 2/5 The food here is not any better compared to other Heng hua restaurants. Came with my family today who had done here before, was also told that food standard has dropped. Service is fairly okay. Wait stuff attends to you with slight delay, but I have no complaints. Slightly expensive for the quality of food provided. Will not return to this place again, unless the quality of food improves.

Nice old school zi char place serving putien dishes. Pretty affordable and quick service.

Had a simple quick lunch here. Ordered the lor mee, the fried beehoon n veg. Inexpensive place, but food taste homey. Service was OK, dishes served rather on time despite a crowd. Will I come again - I've been here more than 8 times already and will be back somemore....

Be prepared to queue! The food was good and chinese local flavours. I personally love the kang Kong cuttlefish, the sambal was very tasty and the cuttlefish was cooked just right. Kang Kong veg was crunchy too!

Overordered with 2 pax.😂Brings back distant childhood tastebuds that’s so motherly close to heart. Prawn paste chicken is da bomb. Not to mentioned their bee hoon and lor mee. Overall it was a worth dining exp.

Had lunch recently with a buddy at a simple restaurant that’s been churning out traditional Heng Hua cuisine since 1933!! The Heng Hua people come from the area around Putian City, in Fujian Province, China. So it’s in fact an off shoot of Hokkien cooking but very different in its flavours. Food is actually more akin to Cantonese cooking. Light flavours with fresh ingredients, especially seafood. As there was only 2 of us having lunch, I just managed to get a teaser of their full repertoire of dishes. Two signature items: First was a “white lor meen” - this starchy noodle dish came with a clean light taste that accentuates the natural food flavours. The addition of a small amount of dark vinegar elevates the dish further. A fine yin and yang balance of delicate food flavour with strong punch from the vinegar. Yummy. The fish dish they call “Fried Batang Fish”. It’s fried Spanish Mackerel (Tenggiri in Malay). Simple old school home cooking. Delicious when eaten piping hot with a dash of superior light soy sauce. Definitely worth a repeat visit with a larger group to taste some of the other dishes. @whiskydev Repeat visit on 20th March: Back to Ming Chung Restaurant with a bigger group of friends to try more of their “Heng Hua” dishes. 3 carbs on this occasion: Fried “bee hoon” (vermicelli) with pork leg. Thought this tasted OK. No big deal although supposed to be a house specialty. Fried Rice - Good “wok hei” (a desirable char/singe from a very hot wok). The “char siew” (BBQ Pork) and prawns combination was tasty. A good simple fried rice dish. Fried “Pek Kueh” (Rice Sticks). Always thought this was made from potato flour but looking up online, I find “pek kueh” described as “rice sticks”. I’ve since been advised that it’s a combination of rice flour and tapioca starch. The texture is much chewier than regular flour noodles. This is a Hokkien specialty, not just among the Heng Hua. Yummy. We also ordered 4 dishes. Stir fried “lala” clams. Good and an unusual sauce used in the preparation. Looks like some form of tamarind base here. Again, very tasty. Deep fried mackerel. Decent. Went well by dipping it into the dark vinegar that is a signature accompaniment with Heng Hua / Hokkien cuisine. Minced prawn rolls - Very good. Satisfying and simple. Fried prawn dumplings with a nice vinegary chili dip. Kai Lan (Chinese Kale) stir fried with “tau kan” (beancurd skin). Again simple village food that is tasty and satisfying. Overall, simple village style dishes prepared with generally light natural flavours. Deep fried dishes were well elevated by good vinegar and fresh chili dip.

Price remain the same but portion significantly getting reduce. 3 piece of fish cut into small piece to make it look bigger...haha... Still it cost $12 which a bit unacceptable.. Pork Knuckles noodles only one size so I thought could be for 3-4pax. But single handle I could have finish it. Most worth it would still be the signature Lor Mee. A single portion for $5.50 is well worth it else I would only rate 3*

Friendly service, reasonable price. Food is generally above average. We went on a Sunday afternoon and the aircon room was full so we took the non aircon sitting which was a bit warm. Also, there was no turning lazy Susan, something they should have consider for bigger table.

A 90 years old henghua restaurant that has been established since 1933. After tasting its famous fried bee hoon and fried batang fish, I could understand why it is still running till today. The prices are kept very humble for a restaurant, almost hawker pricing levels, but the food portion is generous and taste is at restaurant grade. The fried bee hoon comes with so much ingredients that you almost can't see the noodles. Lalas, prawns, squid, roasted & lean pork, etc. They use thin bee hoon and when fried with pork lard, it absorbs the flavour of the ingredients. The fried batang fish is another popular dish here and it's fried till perfection with a slight crisp on the edges. I like the restaurant's simple old school decor that feels like the 80s. Do note that while the prices are reasonable, there is a 10% service charge and prevailing GST to be added to the menu prices.

Food was nice. Worth the hype. The fried batang fish is the best of the dishes. IMO, the 5 dishes that made Ming Chung are on the wall.

Standard drop not as tasty and the prices when up quiet alot . We spent closed to $90 for this few dishes .

The food there was great, due to lack of staff, it took us a while to re-fill the hot drinks. The atmosphere is still not quite bad.

I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food here. Reasonable prices and tasty.... I was fearful that I would feel thirsty after the meal (as most restaurants add MSG into the food) but this place doesn't use much. Go for the clams and the fried batang fish, also the glass noodles! Definitely recommended and will go back for more and to try their other dishes.

Xing Hua food at good value.

Slightly pricey food and taste average

Simple and good food. The shrimp paste chicken was very delicious. Reasonably priced.

Delicious foods over here

The Lor Mee is good, but the prawn paste chicken is the BEST!

I have been eating ming Chung before it was beautify to be more atas and of course more expensive. But price I feel don't really justify it and mind u the price listed on the menu is still subjected to 10% service charges and Gst. Taste wise I would said not much changes but it kinda lack of the oomph factor which u feel the dishes u cooked by their old timer chef. The dishes feel very generic or I would said simple fare.

Not my liking. Not very cheap and long q

Nice little restaurant that is popular with the neighborhood towkays. The deep fried mackerel has it at just the right thickness. Lots of Xin Hwa influence dishes. White Sauce Lor Mee and Xin Hwa vermicelli are good. Stay away from the Mein Xian.

Date of visit : 29 Mar 2022 Time : lunch We went there early, just at opening time so the first few to be seated. Tried this HengHua restaurant to see how it fares. The lor mee and beehoon are good and probably cheaper than Putien’s. The rest are ok, except the batang fish which was over done and dry.

Favourite place to satisfy crave for xinghua food. The ingredients are fresh and service are prompt. There are air con and non air con seats to choose. The spicy clam is a must order dish.

Really like the food here. Home cooked meals. Good taste and value for money.

Great food and service, with a long history here. Love their signature beehoon/lor mee, as well as fried batang fish (looks plain but fish is juicy delicious!). Overall every dish tasted good. Recommend to make a reservation especially during weekends to avoid crowd!

Authentic Heng Hwa food cooked with a heart. Food was generally less salty and oily which is perfect for the elderlies who visit this nostalgic food haunt of theirs. The food tasted generally okay. The fish was well deep fried. I loved the Lala alot. It was fresh and packed with flavours. The restaurant, however, was understaffed. We can see that all the waitresses and servers were rushing around like mad. A little disgruntled too, but they are not to be blamed given the amount of support each has, or lack of. We were asked to order using the QR code but the page was very laggy and was unable to load the page most of the time. Advise to standby hard copy menus as most of your customers are of older age and are probably not as tech savvy.

Coffee shop like restaurant. Aircond but not cold. Food is great especially Fried Bantang fish. Ventured to try Fried Peh kueh. Quite good...though not my fav.

The lala medium portion used to be much bigger. No chance to order freied mackerel, kai lan , fried prawns and beehoon cos only 2pax dine in.

Came in early fri evening so wasn't too crowded. They have both indoor with fan and aircon rooms. Food wise, good variety and was delicious.

A great eatery to frequent for no-frills Putien cuisine. Lor Mee may look simple but tastes good, and the Fried Peh Kueh is unique but addictive to chew on. We enjoyed the Braised Fried Bean Curd which was complemented with tender sweet cabbage as well as a generous serving of squid and shrimps that aren't overcooked and chewy like most tsechar places. We love adding on their Plain Omelette too as it comes with a tangy sambal belachan. Service is good and their female servers are efficient and courteous. Will be back regularly.

Nice, cheap and friendly. Recommended.

Comfort food. Taste and looks like home cook food in a traditional restaurant setting. There are only a handful of dish available here. All of it has being here since my first time dinning here about 30years ago.

Been coming here for almost 20 years now. The lor mee usually does not fail but it seems that recently they’ve been unable to maintain their standards.

MSG ladded dishes. Felt very thirsty after the meal. Total disappointment having to pay for food with MSG. Not sure if the staff or owner eat the same kind of food that they serve to customer.

Delicious heng hua food in simple restaurant setting at reasonable prices

Good & nice food ?

Food and ambience were great. If you have celebrations or big group gatherings, this place is good. Recommended!

simple and delicious comfort food i like the batang fish (fried) the most staff is really friendly and courteous recommended place to sit and enjoy the ambience

great food !! albeit a little expensive , overall great experience !

Food is yummy here. Signature food is Lor Mee. The gravy is white in colour.

Delicious food, the stir fried flower clams are so tasty and one of my favourite dishes in Singapore. Every time I'm in the country I visit here to eat it. 10/10!

Large bowl of lor Mee is definitely enough for 3. Their fried prawn $16, slightly expensive but it's delicious and well fried!

The taste of the foods are all acceptable. But not that kind of fabulous nice. The service there are average too. As there are some staffs are very polite at the same time there are a few are impolite. Those that never try before may go and try at your own. But don't put too high expectation so that you won't disappointed

Good food. Try the white mee sua lor mee. Prawn paste chicken and so on. Worthy and hearty.

Very nice Sinhwa traditional crusine. Really Must try

Good Putian cuisine for Henghua people.

For a great true blue Foo Chow cuisines, Its a must try. It has A revamp and now anchored by Kelvin in the kitchen and Peter his brother, manning the tables. Probably the best LU MIEN in Singapore. Be Prepared for queue. Savour and devour what fabulous dishes they can whipped out.??

Food taste very homely. The staff are friendly and very quick in processing my order. Will recommend.

Offer local comfort food. Service is warm and friendly. I will forever miss this place the day I am leaving Singapore to my home country.

Cleaner nicer ambience with good food and solid cooking. Same old good fashion style. Always good.

La la is fresh and good.

Food was nice. Environment was ok, too. Suitable for family and friends gathering.

Love the food here. Would recommend going early to skip the queue(:

First night in Singapore and walked past this restaurant. It was busy which we took as a good sign. The owner was by the door & welcomed us in and helped with the menu. As my friend can’t eat shellfish we were recommended some dishes. We thought we had over ordered but managed to scoff the lot. I had the house special clams which were superb and the chicken wings (in prawn paste) with chilli sauce (which most tables seemed to be ordering) and again excellent.

nice and love the henghua styles

Still the old time taste...

Best restaurant since my childhood

Nice food at reasonable price

Always my go-to place for Heng Hua Lor mee. Their noodle softness blends very well with the gravy/soup. Velvety smooth. Its a comfort food.??

Straight to the point. Way better than Pu Tien

Good food. Nostalgia environment and authentic Henghua cuisine. Best in town.

Was there with a big group of over 10 pax. Service wasn't bad. It was a busy Saturday night but they tried to accommodate us. The food was a bit salty but otherwise tasty.

One of my late grandfather top few choices for food due to the food is similar to his home town, putien. And prices aren't that expensive also.

Delicious henghua fare at affordable prices. Will recommend.

Authentic Putien Dishes

Love their tasty cha hoon, bee hoon & prawn fritter. Home cook food. Highly recommended

A different take to Lor mee, but equally delicious.

Interesting Chinese food restaurant located at jalan besar. The bihun is a must try. Prawn paste chicken in great. Fried fish is crispy. Drinks come in decent portion. It is worth a visit.
