Review - Pin Si Kitchen's Local Favourites in a Box
When it comes to satisfying local cravings, Pin Si Kitchen’s Local Favourites in a Box hits all the right notes. At just $9.80/pax, these bentos bring the familiar taste of Singapore’s hawker favourites straight to your table – whether you’re ordering for the office, a small gathering, or simply treating yourself.
Recently, we had the pleasure of tasting three of their signature offerings: Pig Trotter Bee Hoon, Hokkien Prawn Noodle, and Laksa. Here’s how they fared!
🥢 Pig Trotter Bee Hoon
A dish that’s steeped in tradition, Pin Si Kitchen’s Pig Trotter Bee Hoon doesn’t hold back on flavour. The bee hoon is well-cooked and absorbing all the meaty depth from the tender chunks of pig trotter. The chestnuts add a lovely earthy sweetness, while the meat is tender and soft. It’s comfort food at its finest, perfect for those who enjoy robust, home-style cooking.
🍤 Hokkien Prawn Noodle
Seafood lovers will appreciate the Hokkien Prawn Noodle, which comes generously topped with prawns and squid. The noodles are stir-fried till springy and lightly coated with a savoury seafood stock, balancing briny prawn essence with subtle wok hei. Although it would have been better served with a side of sambal, this dish has that perfect mix of umami and freshness that keeps you going back for another bite.
🍜 Laksa
The laksa is a feast for the senses – from its aromatic coconut curry broth to the vibrant toppings. The gravy is rich and lemak, with just enough spice to give a warming kick without overpowering the creamy base. Inside, you’ll find a hearty serving of thick bee hoon, fishcakes, prawn balls, and tau pok, all soaking up the luscious gravy. It’s a soul-soothing bowl that delivers authentic local flavour in every mouthful. It's also worth noting that not every day you get a bowl of laksa with prawn balls, so this was an interesting take for me!
đź’ˇ Final Thoughts
Pin Si Kitchen’s bentos are a testament to how affordable catering can still deliver on quality and taste. Each dish feels thoughtfully prepared, with generous portions and authentic recipes that evoke the flavours of a good hawker stall. Whether you’re catering for a team lunch or planning a family meal, their Local Favourites in a Box set is a great choice for a fuss-free yet flavour-packed dining experience. Overall, a 5/5 for me (bonus points for the super affordable price!)
