Editor’s Note

Last updated 3 Aug 2026

We think 明宝餐室 offers a solid neighbourhood zi char experience, often overshadowed by its more famous neighbour.

Reviewers consistently highlight the horfun, with both the San Lor and Fried with Raw Egg versions praised for their wok hei and generous ingredients like fresh prawns and crunchy bean sprouts, all for around $4.50.

Other standout dishes include the herbal lala soup, described as robust and full-bodied, and the fried baby kailan, noted for being tender, garlicky, and large-portioned even for a small serving.

While the sweet potato leaves with sambal are a substantial serving, some found them a 'tad too oily'.

The sweet and sour pork rice is generally well-received, though some found the meat portion smaller than expected.

We appreciate the transparent pricing with 'no GST or Service charge' and the friendly, attentive service.

The daily 50% discount specials are a strong draw for value.

Parking can be challenging during peak hours, so we'd recommend visiting during off-peak times if driving.

Overall, a reliable and above-average option for everyday Chinese fare.

While most dishes are well-received, some found the sweet potato leaves a bit oily and occasionally, pork ribs were not consistently tender, with parking sometimes being a challenge.
