A hidden gem was once lost and have been found again. This Poh is famous for its wok hei dish back in Empress Food market at Farrer Road.
If you need a great tast of wok hei without burning your pocket money this is it. I haven't tried this chef's Mr Poh for 6 years and I am proud to say that the quality and presentation is still the same and for the Presevered Veg Hor fun with shrimp is really taste good. Right amount if crispy eggs, prawn and noodle plus the wok hei adds up up the overall experience. Is good to watch how his skill when he preparing the food with individual skill.
Ordered the fried rice but if you ask me I would have chosen the Hor Fun. Mr Poh is friendly and he recognised me even after so many years. Very happy to see him back in action. Really. Give this man a support! Try it out!
Do note that the timing can be wary, start operating from 10am till lunch time but could close early if sold out. Can PM him before coming over.

Amazing dish overall (and also extremely rare), nice wok hei and great rough texture of the hor fun 🥘
Resembles fried oyster but with sorta more substance, the oysters are of decent size and feel too! (opted for both prawns and oysters)

Delicious plate of fried hor fun ($6) with preserved vegetables and succulent prawns. It tasted like carrot cake. The wok hei was evident. Would taste better if it was more flavourful. Nice! Will definitely return to try the other dishes.

Unique dish and only you can find here. Horfun fried with egg and preserved vegetable and some prawns added. Very flavourful, crispy and loaded with wok hey taste. $6 a plate. If you are a tourist, do try out this stall. No regrets.

Such a unique dish! It’s like the hor fun version of the local white fried carrot cake dish. For a 菜头粿 lover like myself, this is such a yummy great fun!
Hor fun is stir-fried until it became golden brown and slightly charred. It’s reminiscent of how the famous Bukit Timah white carrot cake store makes their dish. In this dish, raddish cake slices are replaced by silky smooth hor fun pieces which sticks together like a crepe cake, with the egg added acting like an “egg glue”, but falls apart easily once it touches your tastebuds. It’s best eaten with the sambal at first and then have some bites of the preserved green chilies to cut the grease as you continue to devour the plate. 3 big prawns can be found in the dish.
Each dish is cooked to order, and the store is only manned by the boss himself. Expect a slight 3-5 mins wait, or longer if there is a long queue. p.s. I only waited max 5 mins while the boss finishes up the order before me (Friday 1pm)
Highly recommend and 💯will return to have more 👍🏻
