Southern Asian Restaurant 潮州餐馆

Colombo Street’s go-to for unapologetic Southern Chinese comfort. Forget mild takeout fare—diners pack the communal tables here for massive sharing plates built around real Cantonese and Chaozhou technique. Tables start with complimentary roasted peanuts and hot tea before the kitchen rolls out serious heat. Greens arrive laced with smoky wok hei, beef ho fun hits the table searingly hot, and the steamed cod stays tender in clean, savory sauce. The insider move is the claypot congee—simmered fresh to order with prawn and pork or preserved egg, well worth the half-hour wait for bubbling warmth.
