Fai Kee Fishhead Bee Hoon (輝記魚頭米粉), Commonwealth Crescent Food Centre

I've been meaning to try the food at Fai Kee Fishhead Bee Hoon (#02-74 Commonwealth Crescent Food Centre, 31 Commonwealth Crescent) for some time. They're an old school Cantonese styled zi char.

One of the dishes that got my attention was their 三捞河粉, or sum lou hor fan in Cantonese which I'm more used to. It's a dry rendition unlike most. Rice noodles and fish slices had some nice light scorching. A little greasy and light on the salt. I don't know what fish it was they used but it's not the usual type for this dish; texture has a bit more chew/springiness to it. Not bad tasting.

Here's quelling the curiosity about their stir fried fish liver and intestines with bitter gourd. This dish was oil rich and a little sweeter than I imagined. Some sweetness came from the bitter gourd (which was more sweet than bitter actually) and there were also those from the onions in the black bean sauce. 

Fish liver's livery tasting. 😂 Kinda like chicken liver with some faint fishiness and a huge dollop of bitter sweetness. Intestines were chewy with a crunch. Imagine a texture akin to fish maw with the tenacity of overcooked squid or chicken gizzards. But it wasn't unlikeable. All the wok scorching had imparted a nice smokiness to the offal.

One week later...

Came back to try their mui fan (烩饭) because for some unknown reasons, I felt like having one of these. Pretty decent tasting. Prawns, squid, pork tenderloin and some vegetables in egg drop (滑蛋) gravy over rice if anyone didn't know what this was. Enjoyable with pickled green chilli. Meanwhile, I still rank Hillman and Chinatown Sun Seng above this.

Sliced fish stir fried with kailan. Portions were kinda small but flavour's pretty good. These were stir fried in a black bean sauce with garlic that's been scented with ginger. Sauce was also a little smokey. Didn't particularly mind the ginger in this one but I would have liked it better if there weren't any. Note to self : order with no ginger next time.
