Hup Huat Restaurant has been established since 1969. Apparently, it was made popular at a location that is now known to be a one-stop shopping mall, “The Shore Shopping Gallery”.

Besides claypot porridge, nothing hits the spot like a plate of Nasi Goreng Kampung (village-styled fried rice), subtle in taste and embellished with chopped fresh spring onions, in comparison to a similar Malay version ones.
