18th August, Tuesday
A traditional Hokkien restaurant, Beng Thin has been around for many years. I even recall visiting it several times when I was small (>20 years ago).
No pictures taken as I was having a business lunch with some of my clients.
Beng Thin Duck Salad (鸭丝冷盘)
This was a good opening dish, which was very appetizing. A nice mixture of cucumber slices, chilli, roast duck, and rock melon topped with gravy. Unique and excellent!
V's verdict: 8/10
Crabmeat fishmaw soup (蟹肉鱼鳔羹)
This was also good. Thick soup with fish maw and crab meat. Add a bit of pepper and vinegar, and the dish is perfect.
V's verdict: 8/10
Crispy roast chicken (脆皮烧鸡）
The skin was crispy, the meat was slightly juicy. The breast meat wasn't too dry too. Nice!
V's verdict: 8/10
Venison with mushrooms
The venison was decent; nothing special. I must say the attractive part of this dish was the mushrooms. They were sliced thinly; me and my colleague even mistook them for ginger slices or onion slices. The mushrooms were slightly juicy and sweet.
V's verdict: 7/10
Fujian style ngo hiang
There were 3 types of ngo hiang served here - the traditional one, spring roll, and another oddly shaped one which I don't know how to describe. The traditional one tasted good, but the rest were average only.
V's verdict: 6/10
Fried hokkien mee (福建炒面)
Beng Thin is famous for their fried hokkien mee. It's the dark kind, with thick and rich gravy. This was quite fantastic!
V's verdict: 8/10
Sweet yam with pumpkin slices and gingko nuts (金瓜芋泥)
Well I am not really into orr nee, but this was still quite good. Not too heavy and not too light. Smooth and the sweet flavour of the pumpkin blended in quite well with the whole dish.
V's verdict: 7/10
Overall, I found this place to be quite good. They may not have any dishes that scored more than 8.5 from me, but they had a lot of dishes which were already very good (score 8). Will bring my parents here one day.
