2. Ru Fa Bao Dian
Situated at Holland Drive Market and Food Centre is the humble Ru Fa Bao Dian. This stall is known for being creative with its bao fillings. Some unique bao include the Otah Bao and Chicken Cheese Bao; the latter features an interesting fusion of sesame-marinated chicken and cheese. They are also known for their Curry Chicken Bao, which is bigger than what you would get in most stalls. But our favourite is their Glutinous Rice Pork Bao as you get both lor mai gai and bao in a single dish. FYI, check in with the stall owner for the prices!

There’s the IG-worthy Tsukune Sando ($17++): two brioche slices with Japanese chicken patty, tamagoyaki, pickled daikon, slaw, cheddar and furikake mayo.

For legit Hong Kong-style seafood dishes, head to Lo Hey HK Seafood, where you can dine amid a cinematic ambience that brings you back to the 1980s and 90s. We tried a selection of dishes here, and one of our favourites was the Steamed Fish with Pickled Chilli & Kiam Chye ($10 per 100g), featuring pickled chilli and kiam chye, which added tanginess to complement the sweetness and freshness of the fish. The Wok Fried Uni Mayo Prawn Balls ($24.80++) was equally delicious thanks to its strong wok hei.

15. Ushiyama Yakiniku
This one’s for yakiniku lovers: Ushiyama Yakiniku serves up top-quality beef that’s known for its marbling. We recommend starting with the Jo Karubi ($42++), featuring slices of boneless short ribs that are perfectly tender yet firm. You can have it on its own or pair it with Ushiyama’s house-made dipping sauce! Then, move on to Otoro Karubi ($62++), AKA premium chuck ribs, for a melt-in-your-mouth experience. This tastes especially good with wasabi as it helps to quell the fattiness of the meat.
