The Home Restaurant (回味之家) took over the hole in the wall shop space vacated by Original Cake (源味本鋪) at B1, Sun Plaza. And then another year had gone by before we decided it is time to give the place a try.

My neighbour recommended us to try their Stir-Fried White Vermicelli (S$12++) which we ordered the big portion. The bee hoon came soaked in brown gravy with the clams hidden underneath. The stock that gives this dish its soul is packed with umami flavours so every mouthful is such a pleasure to savour.
Next dish is the Herbal Chicken, a whole leg surrounded in an herbs infused gravy. The chicken meat is wonderfully tender with just enough herbs flavour not to overpower the sweetness of the chicken. But at S$9 for just the leg, we think it is rather expensive.
The third and last order is a vegetable dish, Stir-Fried Romaine with Fermented Beancurd Sauce (S$8). This may just be your typical salad ingredient but the fermented beancurd really elevated this vegetable to the next flavour level, turning what is look like a simple lettuce stir-fried into something yummy.
PS - Vegetable dishes in Singapore are typically marked up high, that is where their profit margin comes from. Meats dishes are more value for money if you eat outside. So eat your veggies at home. 😄
