Guan Hoe Soon Restaurant

The chap chye reminds me of my mother's cooking. The chilli grill sole fish is excellent. The crab meat ball reminds me of my grandmother. Service is excellent. The staff is patient and friendly. Rice is free flow. There is a per head count. The pickle is unique. I can't find it elsewhere. Dessert red Ruby is average no wow factor though. The kueh is nice.

First time visiting Guan Hoe Soon after they shifted over to the current location. Place has a nicer and more cosy feel compared to previously. Items on the menu look pretty much the same. We'd otak otak, ayam buah keluak and sambal terung. Dishes tastes good although the portions seem to have shrunk. Nonethless still a nice place to visit for peranakan food. Overall a pleasant dining experience and looking forward to the next visit.

Expensive especially if you get the fish. Good quality peranakan food. The serving is a bit small for the price. Bits of pieces of the Babi ponteh was rough, some where tender. Ngoh hiang was great. Cendol good. Ayan bua keluak best. Overall, too expensive. Spend about $60+ per pax, but that's also because of the fish. Atmosphere is too noisy and no network connection and wifi.

Nice authentic peranakan food with long history is what guan hoe soon is about. The achar with little bits of chicken gizzard and liver is very interesting and refreshing right from the start, and certainly quite spicy as well. The cabbage chao chye and sambal prawn were alright very nonya style nothing to shout about though. The kuah beluak chicken were also good tender and flavourful which comes as no surprise as one of their signatures. The bak wan soup is the best of the dishes here I feel very crunchy fresh pork meat ball with light broth. Is good that they served individual bowls as well. Assam pomfret were alright with large slices of pineapple but wished the fish were a bit thicker. Otak and ngoh hiang were also pretty good as well. Finally the chendol is pretty good, a bit too sweet, and perhaps more ingredients will be better. Overall, food is good, service is average and the price.. well.. really pricey.

Food was delicious and very authentic peranakan (like my grandma’s and aunt’s cooking). My favorite were the prawn nanas pedals, ayam buah keluak, nogh hiang and chendol. Service was excellent - super friendly and attentive. Didn’t wait long for food. Parking was convenient with very large carpark across the road.

Ordered the fish maw soup and babi ponteh. Nice as it tasted like wholesome home cooked food- no frills. Soup is nice but too pricey for the amount. Babi ponteh in my opinion is not flavourful enough. Didn't try enough variety hence can't comment on the other dishes.

A cherished spot where history meets flavor. Since 1953, Straits-Chinese cuisine with a unique mix of Hainanese and Peranakan influences, based on family heirloom recipes. Ideal for cosy gathering (large tables available too). Warm atmosphere and very convenient street-level parking right across the street. A meal here is a delicious journey through time.😋

Suuuuuuper like their v spicy achar... However, do note tt it contains bits of chicken liver... So if u r non-eater of animal organs, do request for it to be served w/o... Sambal sotong was decent, abit on d sourish side similar to assam... Fish maw soup was acceptable... Very attentive staff. Quite nice ambience too. Will visit again. 16/4/24 Recently went bk again & decided to rate them 1 star down bcoz of d following reasons: 1) they insisted on not allowing takeout for their achar... How inflexible is tt??? 2) food portions had gone down to a ridiculous qty... Their asam pedas prawn tt cost almost $20 had only 4 prawns?!... N pls take a look at my photo for d prawn size... D garnishes tt came together in d bowl was 2 times or more Bigger than d prawn size! Probably won't go bk again.
