I don’t really come across hawker stalls that specialize in hor fun. The dish seems to be more commonly served at zi char places. I was on the lookout for nice hawker places and chanced upon Hor Fun Premium, which is located at Alexandra Village Food Centre. The online community has shared rave reviews about Hor Fun Premium, and I knew I had to make my way there.

Hor Fun Premium has become exceedingly popular since opening in 2015. The owner, Mr Leo, picked up his culinary skills from his father and started cooking at a zi char stall at the age of 17. One day, he decided to venture out on his own and started Hor Fun Premium.

I ordered the signature Beef Hor Fun ($4.50) which comprises beautifully charred hor fun, six slices of beef and a few stalks of kai lan miao swimming in a magnificent and silky eggy gravy.

My favourite component was the hor fun. Slightly chewy and full of wok hei, the hor fun was a star. That intensely satisfying wok hei can only be imparted by a good control of fire, and fantastic tossing techniques. Hor Fun Premium really whips up an awesome plate of hor fun! The beef slices were perfectly cooked and tender. The vegetable stalks remained crunchy and refreshingly sweet. I absolutely love how simple yet hearty this dish is. Absolutely spot-on!

Oh, have I mentioned that the portion is very generous? What a bang for the buck!

My dining partner and I also tried the Sliced Fish Hor Fun ($4.50), and it was lip-smackingly good as well. They use snakehead fish (aka toman fish) which is exceptionally fresh. The fish slices had a firm and meaty texture, and a slight sweetness. They did not have a disturbing fishy smell, or aftertaste, which is another plus point. I found myself going back for more as it was really addictive. Pairing it with hor fun took it to the next level as every mouthful delivered a delightful silkiness.

You may help yourself to the condiments, such as green and red chilli, displayed at the stall front. There are other dishes on the menu that may interest you. The mui fan, and pork ribs rice, sound delicious too, and they are priced at just $4.50!
