Central means being centre of, and is commonly referred to as the heart of town. But there is also The Central above Clarke Quay MRT Station and Central Hong Kong Café in Singapore. The latter was established in 2004 and has branches in Jurong Point, The Star Vista and VivoCity. White marble tables and black or brown wooden chairs blended in with the black and white mosaic floor, which together with posters of Hong Kong stars, gave the place a nostalgic charm. Hanging lights were interestingly encased in bird cages, with ceiling fans and a white old-school grill that served as a divider. In addition to a menu typical of a cha chaan teng in Hong Kong, there is also a take-away counter selling Hong Kong street food. Having tried many curry fishballs in Hong Kong and Singapore, I realised the versions here are more bouncy than chewy. This was no different, and tasted salty with notes of spiciness from both the chilli and curry, the curry powder balanced by a distinct sweetness.
