After having seen the Ka-Soh signage along Outram countless times, we finally paid the restaurant (Alumni Medical Centre, 2 College Road, tel : +65 6473 6686) a visit.
Har cheong gai was in order because this was one the things to get when you eat here. The deep fried chicken parts were nicely done with sufficient prawn paste flavouring like their other restaurant at Amoy Street.
Menu described this dish as 'egg tofu fried with pickled vegetables & minced chicken'. It looked like mapo tofu. Gravy was a little sweet, a little savoury and spicy. The mentioned pickled vegetables were cai por (pickled turnip). Certainly didn't looked like what we imagined it to be when we ordered it but it didn't taste too bad.
Their sum lou hor fun has always been a favourite. I don't know if they're the better ones around these days but their rendition is still pretty tasty.
The dish we've never seen/heard of before from Ka-Soh was their beef and crab meat hor fun in black bean sauce and egg. Beef was tasteless and almost textureless and hence, we knew that their cooking had never improved with the times. There wasn't much crab meat in the black bean sauce which was of amateur quality flavour. I'm sure there're better black bean sauce dishes around that are much better than this one.
