Crispy Egg Noodle 4/5

The Crispy Egg Noodle is a local favourite as well as mine too. The textural enjoyment of the crispy noodle is complemented by the special double boiled stock from Chef Tham's treasured recipe. It is further topped with fresh prawns, sliced fish and vegetable for a satisying meal.

White Bee Hoon 4/5

Recently White Bee Hoon has been getting popular in Singapore. Chef Tham has wok charred the rice vermicelli for some wok hei smokiness. This is further cooked together with egg, garlic, succulent slices of pork belly and fresh prawns. This is dressed in a flavourful stock made from chicken and pork bone, lightly thickened with fish sauce and oyster sauce.

Curry Fish Head 4/5

Aside the 4 wok hei specialties, White Rose Cafe offers Treasured Flavours of Singapore which features Singapore iconic dishes. Available during the a la carte lunch buffet on Mondays to Fridays, diners can feast on unlimited orders of over 25 selections of these iconic dishes.

Diners will get to have a serving of the signature Fish Head Curry (half portion for 2 to 3 pax, while for 4 to 7 pax) to go with the unlimited serving of steamed fragrant rice. The fish head curry is prepared accordingly to the well guarded recipe from Soon Heng Restaurant dating from 1970s, touted as the creator of the Singaporean Chinese style fish head curry. The red snapper fish head is first steamed and then cooked in a mildly spiced assam or tamarind based curry sauce together with tomatoes lady fingers, sliced onions and fresh chillies. The fish is cooked perfectly, firm and moist with a delectable sweetness of the flesh.

Chicken Masala 3.5/5

The Chicken Masala is cooked in homemade masala spice blend of various spices such as cinnamon cardamom, cloves and fennel seeds. An enjoyable dish with the tender chicken coated with the aromatic spices.

Black Ink Sotong 4.8/5

A childhood favourite of mine, the Black Ink Sotong is first poached and then simmered until tender. It has a hint of spiciness that comes from the belachan that is cooked together with the squid ink. This is definitely my favourite dish here.
