One of Singapore’s oldest Hokkien restaurants has been resurrected. And in the most unexpected of venues.<\/p>\n
Beng Hiang, the 48-year-old heritage restaurant known for old-school favourites like Hokkien mee<\/a>, kong bak bao and fish maw soup, has reopened at Shangri-La Singapore as part of a new culinary residency.<\/p>\n The residency, which is not intended to be permanent, has transformed the Garden Terrace \u2014 an indoor-outdoor event space at Shangri-La Singapore \u2014 into the restaurant’s new home, with seating for about 80 guests.<\/p>\n Founded in 1978, the Hokkien restaurant<\/a> first opened on Murray Street before relocating to Amoy Street in the 1980s, where it spent the bulk of its history and became a popular gathering spot for family meals and celebrations. It later moved to a humbler heartland locale in Jurong East in 2015, where it continued serving generations of diners before closing late last year.<\/p>\n No part of this story or photos can be reproduced without permission from 8days.sg<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
