I realized that patrons to 267 Eating House will sure have a pack of otah from that famous Hiang Soon just few shops away. That include us. After ordering our food, expect probably 10-15 mins of wait before serving up to us. So I guess that is the best way to feed that itchy mouth or hunger. Follow suit.
Just last week I tried Thasevi Prata. This week another try at this stretch of shophouses of Jalan Kayu. Another choice of Zhi Char stall and variety to choose from. The only thing that I don't like is those irritating flies around our table while our food is served. Probably they should take hygiene into consideration. They have limited seat capacity so do find the right time to beat the crowd.
How I range the food will be from best to good: Indonesia Prawns, Sambal Stingray, Beancurd and Stir-fried french beans.
The beans can be better if it is cut into smaller length. Quite decent plate of beans but nothing to shout about. As for their beancurd, the inside is silky but I don't understand the purpose of topping it with so much of garlic and chopped beans. I don't taste the blending of this combination. That's a minus point and not worth the price for these 2.
The stingray craving is satisfied although a little pricey with that portion (for 2 pax, $10). Covered with sambal chilli, the texture is soft and tender on the inside. Very appetizing.
The Indonesia Prawns that we ordered is different from the photo on their signage (which supposed to be those dry type) but wonderfully, it turns out good with that curry gravy which the husband loves it to the moon and back. Although the prawns are not at its freshest, it didn't fail to impress our taste bud. Most importantly, we don't feel thirsty despite the heavy flavour of the gravy. Well done. Please try if you want.
Lastly, end your meal with their refreshing Mas Lime with Prune and Home-made Barley.

Overall, the food here is decent but a little pricey for servings of 2. This dinner is a beany and spicy one indeed.
