Shi Hui Yuan Review: Michelin Bib Gourmand Hor Fun With Roast Duck, Chicken And Braised Ribs

Some say the Michelin Bib Gourmand is one of the highest honours a hawker stall can get. The hor fun stall started in a humble hawker centre at Mei Chin Road, all the way back in 1969. In the face of their success, Shi Hui Yuan’s founders decided to open up a name new flagship outlet at Lau Pa Sat Market in September 2019, right-smack in the middle of the CBD.

Food at Shi Hui Yuan Their signature dish is the Blissful Set ($7.80) . On a bed of rice noodles, the Blissful Set consisted of roasted duck and chicken— both sliced from the drumstick, spare ribs, two juicy mushrooms, bok choy, and half an egg.

I’m used to the Cantonese style of hor fun, which is wok-fried to be a little bit more charred and smoky, but I was still eager to give this one a go. The chicken had a bit less taste than the duck, but its skin was a lot crispier.

It’s a pretty even split between chicken and duck, so you can get the best of both worlds in this set. I wished there was a bit more of it, but considering the total amount of meat in this set, it was good enough.

There’s the Braised Spare Ribs Hor Fun ($6.80) that focuses on the tender ribs. While the meat was fantastic, I wasn’t too fond of the mushrooms and egg.

Strangely, a few of the mushrooms had a slightly bitter and pungent taste, while the egg was a little shrivelled and a bit too dry, both in the yolk and white. It smelled as good as it tasted, and was thick and robust from soaking in the sauce.

Our second order was the Braised Chicken Hor Fun ($5 for regular, $6 for large) . While the Blissful Set had drumstick meat, the individual hor fun portions used chicken breast instead.

The Braised Duck Hor Fun ($6 for regular, $7 for large) was the last thing we got. The duck in this dish came from the breast, instead of the drumstick from the first set.

And indeed, the duck meat was juicy, savoury, and had tasty skin to boot. It has the best spread of meat, and it’s a good way to have a meal filled with variety.
