Hoy Yong Seafood Restaurant 开洋海鲜菜馆 – Wok & Roll at One of Clementi’s Best Zichar Stalls

Chef Hoy Yong has been known for his one-of-a-kind zichar dishes since a long time ago. Voted as the top 3 seafood restaurants in Clementi, Hoy Yong is a place you should bring your parents to!

The wah tan hor (hor fun with egg) is highly raved about, and the fried duck roll is too interesting to not try. The staff recommended the sour spicy pork ribs. I also wanted to try the most special stir-fried vegetables in its menu — bitter gourd with salted egg.. The food took quite a while to come even though it wasn’t busy when I visited.

The portion of the Hor Fun with Egg ($6) was relatively huge, and the dish can be shared by 2 pax. I’ve been eating wah tan hor since I was a child, and I’ve always liked the slippery egg in the gravy. Hoy Yong’s wah tan hor came with a considerable amount of wok hei. The prawns were especially crunchy and sweet while the fish slices were fresh. I loved the thick gravy which coated the splendidly-charred flat rice noodles. Now, I get what the hype was all about.

Till now, I haven’t found anyone who doesn’t enjoy Hoy Yong’s Deep-fried Duck Roll ($12). The addictive batter was especially crunchy, and not overly oily. The filling was made with prawn cubes, coriander, mushroom, water chestnut, minced meat, and of cause, deboned duck meat. Every bite was just delicious.

The Sour Spicy Pork Ribs ($16), which was recommended, was not fantastic. Similar to the typical sweet and sour pork dish,  Hoy Yong’s Sour Spicy Pork Ribs were a little sweet and sour, with just a mild spiciness. The texture of the meat was also inconsistent.

The Bitter Gourd with Salted Egg Yolk ($13) was a masterpiece! The deep-fried bitter gourd was stir-fried with salted egg yolk to perfection such that every slice of bitter gourd was well coated with salted egg yolk. Bits of salted egg white could be seen amongst the greens. Just give me a bowl of rice and fried egg, and I’m all set!

Please remember to make reservations (especially during the weekends) to avoid disappointment. The expansive menu means that you have to return multiple times to try all of Hoy Yong’s one-of-a-kind dishes! I assure you that many of Hoy Yong’s dishes can’t be found elsewhere.
