XO Fish Head Bee Hoon
Clementi West, also known as "West Coast", is where I frequent as a kid because Mum used to do her marketing here. As Grandma also lived here with her eldest son, coming here is almost a weekly routine for us.
I remember coming to the market here for our meals and I, in particular, loved the Pig's Organ Soup very much especially the chili. Alas, I could not remember which stall it is and I do not think the stall is still there.
A few years back, we discovered the Hong Kong Street Jen Poo Kee XO Bee Hoon at Block 721 and we have been hooked ever since.
Hong Kong Street Jen Poo Kee is located at Block 721 next to the West Coast Market Square which is opposite West Coast Plaza (previously known as Ginza Plaza).

Prawn Paste Chicken/Har Keong Gai
The Prawn Paste Chicken here is a must-order dish. The skin is crispy yet the inside is succulent and moist. As far as I could remember, fleshy drumlets are used here. I could finish a whole plate by myself!
Baby Sotong
I am not a fan of this dish but the baby sotong are fried till crispy and coated with spicy/sweet sauce. The pickled cucumber is refreshing.
Hotplate Tofu
One of the better Hotplate Tofu I had. It is loaded with seafood and a distinct fragrance not found in others. The sauce pairs exceptionally well with white rice.
Tua Tau
The sauce is too sweet for my liking. Did not had much of it.
Curry Fish Head
I am hardly a Curry Fish Head person as I do not like chinese curries however, I am very happy to say that this curry here incline towards the Indian-style which I love.
San Lou Hor Fun
The San Lou Hor Fun here is also highly recommended though the usual standard seem lacking on the night we were there.
XO Fish Head Bee Hoon
And finally, the highlight of the night - the XO Fish Head Bee Hoon which I am besotted with the first time I ate it. The milky broth is complemented by the taste of the XO and slurping up the thick bee hoon is such an enjoyment!
Strangely, the fish that night does not seem too palatable to me but I believe it is an isolated case.
The dinner was part of Dad's birthday celebration
Brother bought a cake from Bengawan Solo.
