🌟Heng Seng Noodles 1467 Brace Rd Unit C1B, Cherry Hill Township, NJ 08034 This newly opened restaurant in May of this year is a continuation of Heng Seng Restaurant, offering heartwarming Cambodian-Teochew cuisine served by two generations of the family. Heng Seng Noodles is more modern, and the experience was quite good. I'd like to try Heng Seng Restaurant again sometime. 🥖Kaw Ko with Bread $7.5 A must-order! Stewed beef with bread! The sauce is especially fragrant and great with rice too! 🌽Khmer Coconut Corn $7 Recommended! Sweet and salty, with cheesy corn kernels! 🍜Sate Noodles $17 Spicy pork noodle soup. The pork slices were a bit thick and not very flavorful; personally, I thought it was just average. I saw online that the traditional kuy teav (Cambodian rice noodles) seems to be quite popular; I'll try that next time. 🍛Loc Lac $26 A meal suitable for one person, including rice, soup, vegetables, and meat. The beef cubes are very fragrant, but the accompanying dipping sauce is a bit sour, which I didn't particularly like. 🥤Pandan Coffee (Coconut Foam) $7.5 Pandan coffee is delicious!!! 🥤Thai Green Tea $6 Thai green tea is also delicious!!! ❤️❤️👇🏻More local food and fun activities👇🏻❤️❤️
