We Tried the Famous White Beehoon at White Restaurant for the First Time

Hello, foodies! 🍴

During our Hop-On, Hop-Off Bus Tour adventure in Singapore, we decided to take a break between exploring the yellow and red routes to have lunch. We ended up at White Restaurant in Suntec City Mall.

We weren’t actually planning to eat there at first. We had been walking past the restaurant a few times but something about its bright and welcoming vibe pulled us in. It looked cozy and clean and there weren’t many people since it was already past lunchtime. So we went back, checked out the menu, and that’s when we found out that the White Restaurant was founded by Mr. Tay King Huak, who is said to be the original creator of white beehoon. That got us curious. We wanted to taste that white beehoon.

Of course, we ordered first their famous Original White Beehoon for 15 SGD (PHP 640 / 11.55 USD).

While waiting for the white beehoon, we ordered crispy mantou with condensed milk for 5 SGD (PHP 213 / 3.85 USD) to munch on. It was actually Gabbie’s idea. She knows how much I love mantou. I always go for it when we’re at Chinese restos, especially when it’s served hot. This one was exactly how I like it. Golden on the outside, soft on the inside.

Then, the White Beehoon was served. I was expecting something bland at first, maybe because the dish looked so pale. But I was wrong.

Have you ever judged a dish by how it looks and ended up surprised?

Once we mixed it, all the flavors came through! You could really taste the rich seafood broth. It flavorful and best eaten hot. It was also loaded with ingredients, just look at those shrimp!

Since we were pretty hungry, we also got the Seafood and Chinese Sausage Fried Rice for 12 SGD (PHP 512 / 9.24 USD). It's a meal in itself! It's super satisfying. Even if you don’t order anything else, this dish alone could fill you up.

But because we were still in the mood to try more, we added calamari to our order, which costs 15 SGD (PHP 640 / 11.55 USD). It came in slimmer cuts than what we’re used to back home but it was still tasty and had a nice texture.

The service is super fast. The staff were kind and attentive, which made the experience even better. It’s always a plus when the people are nice.

This meal from White Restaurant was just what we needed.

We’re definitely coming back next time to try their other dishes.
