Ka Soh

Went to Ka-Soh at Amoy Street for lunch to celebrate a colleague's birthday. Amoy St is full of these great local restaurants that offer good food at decent prices - besides Ka-Soh, there's also Beng Hiang, Lao Hock Kian and Huat Kee, although Huat Kee is slightly more upmarket.

They're pretty generous with the chilli and the all-important pork lard.

The achar is pretty good too.

Cereal prawns. We stared at the dish for a while trying to figure out how come the prawns looked so round...like prawn balls.

They coat the prawn in batter before dipping it into the cereal...hence the round shape. Looked kind of like the KFC crispy chicken pieces.

Prawn paste chicken (har cheong kai). My favourite dish.

Sambal kangkong

Bee hoon soup with fish slices

Since there were only 4 of us, we had to be pretty selective what we ordered. The 排骨王, or pai guat wong is quite good - they fry the marinated pork rib pieces, and serve it with a sweet dipping sauce. The seafood tofu is nice, and so is the yam ring. If you're interested in how the shop got its name, check out their website.
