Spring Court Restaurant at Chinatown

Spring Court started back from 1929, serving delicious Chinese food to all the their old and new customers from generations to generations. Spring Court is proud to be the oldest family-run restaurant in SG today. 

Just located across Chinatown Point, we were there for a family gathering with our distant relatives from China. We had 3 tables of 10 in total. The restaurant manager was friendly but they lacked of the experience of what was good for recommendation. We ordered 9 dishes in total, namely as below.

1. Spring Court traditional popiah - priced at $7.80 per roll, it's a very pricey roll of popiah that was rather disappointing. The skin was soggy and the ingredients tasted salty. Rating: 3/5

2. Fried rice - simple traditionally fried fried rice that is rather fragrant and the kids love it! Rating: 4/5

3. Yam basket - this is an awesome highly recommended dish! The crispiness of the yam ring was very well done with the generous seafood ingredients. Rating: 4.5/5

4. Roast chicken - sincerely did not find the chicken too good as the skin was lacked in seasoning taste and not as crispy as we thought it would be. Rating: 3.5/5

5. Braised vinegar pork ribs - instead of pig trotters, this black vinegar dish is braised with pork ribs. The pork ribs are so tender and the flesh falls off so easily. Awesome dish. Rating: 4/5

6. Steamed grouper - fish flesh was a little tough and and rubbery. The braised hongkong style sauce wasn't fragrant enough. Rating: 3.2/5

7. Fried kailan - ordinary vegetable dish that was a little tough. The vegetable was a little bitter. Rating: 3/5

8.  Crab bee hoon- very disappointing dish as the crab tasted bitter. Very strange for a crab dish as usually crab flesh should be succulent and sweet. When feedbacked to the staff, it was sad that we were brushed off and had to accept the bitterness of the flesh. Rating: 2/5

9. Cereal prawns - not very well done as the prawn shell sticks to the skin. Seems like the seafood wasn't too fresh. Rating: 3/5

Through generations, it would really not be easy to sustain on the food standard. The food quality fluctuates and hopefully they are able to reach a consistency for all. Prices of food can be found in the website below: https://www.springcourt.com.sg/
