It was my Dad’s birthday last weekend. On my mum’s friend’s recommendation, we decided to celebrate his birthday at Mong Hing. I wasn’t sure if I should call to make a reservation or not, but luckily I did, because the restaurant was really full after 7 o’clock.

Some of the dishes that we ordered:

Roe Cold Crab - It tastes lovely, but I guess my favourite crab dish is still our local chilli crab. =P

House of Mong Hing Goose Meat - It was my first time trying goose meat. It was better than what I’ve thought it’ll taste like!

Pan Fried Fresh Oyster Egg - a definite must try, and it definitely worth its value at $10. The oysters are pretty fresh and there’re just so many of them.

Braised Cucumber with Fish Maw

Mong Hing Special Noodles

Fried He Fen With Mixed Meat

Sweet Yam Paste with Gingko Nuts and Pumpkin - I was a bit disappointed with the desert. Perhaps after tasting such delicious main courses, I was beginning to set a pretty high expectation for the desert.

On the whole, the food was fantastic. It’s definitely one of the best chinese restaurants that I’ve patronised, and the food is very reasonably priced. The bill came out to be about S$30 per person. If you prefer the flavour of the food to be light and not too heavy, this is definitely the restaurant to go.

It’s simply the best Wife’s Biscuits around in Singapore.

The Wife’s Biscuits is from "恒香“，or "Heng Xiang", located at Great World City, Floor B1. "Heng Xiang" is actually this shop in Hong Kong, Yuen Long that sells the most famous Lao Po Bing in Hong Kong, the country where Lao Po Bing is originated. I will rate those that I’d tasted in HK 4.5/5.0.

The Wife’s Biscuit in Singapore pales in comparison as compared to its HK’s counterpart. Nevertheless, I guess it should be the best Wife’s Biscuits that you can taste around in Singapore. For any chinese pastry, the outer crispy layer of the biscuit, or its "skin" is the most important. For "Heng Xiang", the outer crispy layer of the biscuit is just right and very aromatic. The paste is delicious. The entire Wife’s biscuit seem to melt in your mouth after the first bite, and its simply so irresistable that it makes you feel like eating the entire box of it.

However, the only fault that I can find in it is that it doesn’t taste as nice if you consume it the next day, though it’s still as delicious. I remembered packing back boxes of these Lao Po Bing from HK, and they tasted just as great even after a week.

Besides its Lao Po Bing, many of the HK traditional pastry that it sells taste equally great too. The other item that I simply love from the shop is its egg tart! It’s also one of the best egg tarts I’ve ever tasted in Singapore, besides the one I ate at the "Dim Sum" restaurant, "Hong Xin" in Chinatown. Thus do try both the Wife Biscuits and its egg tarts if you ever pass by that shop!
