Kowloon Express @ 321 Clementi

For this food review, I went to Kowloon Express which is located at 321 Clementi. The restaurant focuses on cuisines and delicacies from Hong Kong.

Honestly, I am never a fan of dim sums or paus. I was a little skeptical of trying them for a food review. But as I always say before, i'm willing to try new foods from different countries or cultures. You wouldn't know what you like once you tried right?

And I was absolutely right! Kowloon Express is one of my favorite restaurants right now!


The staffs were super polite and organized. She was very efficient in handling orders and assigning seats to customers. Mind you, it was super busy due to full reservation. You know the restaurant serves great food if their reservation is always full!


The salted egg custard pau is to die for! Everything was perfect. It was super fluffy and light, and the custard was creamy. The flavor of the custard was perfect! Since the pau is quite small, I would recommend you to eat it in one bite. I swear, you will feel the pau bursting in your mouth, releasing all the creamy salted egg custard. This is literally food made from heaven.


(I'm literally salivating while typing this.)


However, I really can't differentiate the difference between the Kowloon Express' Barbequed Chicken pau to the other paus that are sold elsewhere. There were no significant or different taste of the barbequed chicken filling.

But! It is super fluffy, and super light. I could eat that all day, everyday.


For the main entree, I ordered the Wanton noodle. I actually wanted to get the Char siew noodles but it is only available during the weekends. When my noodles arrived, I expected my wantons to be fried. But it was not. It was soaked in the soup that came along with the noodles. It will be great to have an option for this.


While the noodles were perfectly cooked and beautifully flavored, the soup was not.

The soup was bland and I had to depend on the noodle's seasonings for the taste. My wantons too, was lacking in flavor, I couldn't taste the fillings of it. It needed a lot more seasonings in the soup in order for the wantons to absorb the flavor. But i really felt it was okay. The dim sums really win it this time! I would surely dine here again.

Atmosphere was great, staffs were incredible. I am actually proud of the owner for making this huge step to bring Hong Kong cuisines nearer to us, in fact, nearer to our taste buds. It will actually be a great honor to have an interview with the owner of Kowloon Express. Such an inspiration! If I were to venture into the Restauranteur industry one day, it will be surely be inspired by this restaurant.

The opening hours of the outlet is as followed:

11am to 10pm (Daily)
Reservations: 6250 0833

So what are you waiting for?! If you dine here, tell me all about it!
And if you have recommendations of any restaurants, do tell me too!

Have fun!
Love, Ally.
