stall closing about 2.15pm. gave is double serving of char siew. super yum
char siew was perfect, tender, smooth, flavourful, nicely charred
The noodles remind me of the Hong Kong style noodles and it has the springiness and QQ texture.
My god – 40 min queue at lunchtime on a Sun. Recommended by Johor Kaki, with the founder located here. Super nolstagic thick ketchup noodles, with the noodles nicely soft, a spring onion and pork lard fragrance, and generous crispy pork lard. The fishballs were super big, and had a bit of fish meat/bone texture and fish flavour while still soft and springy, in a refreshing clear soup. Nice.
It was good enough that we finished the whole bowl, but I left unsatisfied, without even touching a second bowl of rice like I thought I would.
It is a delicious HKM, however, it is unlike your traditional version of HKM. Although the ingredients are the same, the taste is gentler, like it is assembled with a fine-dining touch instead of zhi char flair. Let’s just call this Hokkien Man signature Hokkien Mee. Cheers!!
it was pretty good, featuring fresh seafood as well as a decently thick gravy coating the noodles (not to mention a subtle chili sauce that they charge for if you want more).
This was one of those Hokkien Mee where I didn’t want to mix in the chilli, although the chilli was nice – sweet and fragrant with hae bi. The noodles should not be appreciated for its parts, but as a solid and gelled sum of its parts. These noodles left a lingering umami flavour in my mouth long after I finished it. Very good.
Lai Heng Mushroom Minced Meat Noodle at Lorong 4 Toa Payoh Singapore Bak Chor Mee Review
Go for the soup version! That is the food to try out!
today the bcm was a far cry.. meepok still qq and loose, but the key chilli sauce was poor, slight salty but mostly becss not fragrant & tasty..
The owner of this store is just a genius! This claypot concoction is so good! I guess it is different when you eat from the plate than from the claypot because there's alot of "zhup" here and it is served to boil hot to you.
Kim Keat Hokkien Mee is often said to be one of the top 5 Hokkien mee stalls in Singapore. We stopped by at Lorong 4 Toa Payoh to try their famous claypot Hokkien mee.
Aside from the claypot version, there are usual option like hokkien mee on a plate or traditional one that' served on traditional opeh leaf.
SOI 47 THAI FOOD is a Thailand food restaurant that occupied the spot where Studio Cafe used to be. I knew I had to thai'd that! The cafe has outdoor and indoor seating.
I've seen this chain around for ages but had never tried it until today. The menu was pretty standard Thai fare; there wasn't anything in particular that stood out about it, be it positively or negatively. But it was a step up from Thai Express at least, and they seemed to make a conscious effort of straining out the lemongrass from the soup above, making it easier to eat.
While I wouldn’t say that SOI 47 is the best Thai restaurant in Singapore, I have no doubt it is one of the most value-for-money ones around. And if I am in the area, a re-visit would be in place.
The noodles were cooked well, and tossed in a very rounded and balanced sauce, with some savouriness, umaminess and a very slight tartness from the vinegar.
Though not as popular but this is definitely better than the Lai Heng Mushroom Minced Meat Noodle. The best thing is I do not have to wait for 45 minutes just to eat it.
Their broth simmered to perfection with a blend of pork and ikan bilis, forms a flavorful base that complements the thick and hearty sheng mian noodles wonderfully.
There’s always something really comforting about a bowl of mee hoon kway. The three brothers definitely have mastered the art of the dish and added their own twists to this traditional dish. It’s a hearty meal especially on a rainy day.
The stall also offers the dry version for both the sheng mian and mee hoon kway. I did not try during my visit but I noticed some of the customers having it and the chilli does look quite shiok. I look forward in coming back to try the dry version next time.
The pratas' golden-brown exteriors glistened under the fluorescent lights of the market. Breaking into them, I was immediately struck by the perfect balance of fluffiness and crispiness—a testament to the skill of the prata makers at Rahmath.
Situated in the bustling Toa Payoh Vista Market, this eatery has garnered quite a reputation, thanks to numerous glowing reviews circulating the blogosphere. Intrigued by the hype, I decided to pay a visit and see what the fuss was all about.
Even though the stall is opened until 4pm, it is available up to 130pm. After that the stall sells mee goreng. So if you want to try their prata, be early.

The meat was tender and I ate it all, but I don't really have much desire to come back here either, mainly because the black pepper sauce was a bit sweet. I'd rather go to Mariner's Corner instead.

The noodles was the slightly thicker type, really nice to bite into and slightly soft springy, coming in a nice and unique savoury, lardy, spicy and a bit herbally black sauce.
Auntie remembers her regulars’ orders and sometimes help them decide on the ingredients to go with the noodles if they have a hard time deciding.
Simply delicious! Their char siew could be abit more fatty though.
The stall was helmed by a couple and the menu was very straightforward with either a big bowl or a small bowl of fishball noodles. The queue could have been shortened if the process of preparation had been improvised.
The sauce was vinegary with good spiciness, and the noodles soft and slightly springy. The fish dumpling was solid – soft yet crunchy, the fishcake was really moist and had a good fish flavour, and the sliced and minced meat were fresh.
While I would have preferred the noodles to be a tad spicier and more vinegar-y, this is definitely worth trying if you’re in the Toa Payoh area.
Look no further than Hee Hee Hee Steamed Fish & Seafood, nestled within the bustling Kim Keat Palm Market and Food Centre. They also have another outlet at Circuit Road.
Recommended by The Traveling Hungryboy. The fish was fresh and springy, but I think not cooked to the right timing, such that the flesh did not come off the bones easily. The taste of the sauce also did not go through, and was a bit overly gingery. The fried garlic was strangely also unfragrant. Odd.
Yay, so it's not just Nian Nian You Yu that does single servings of steamed fish!
The Larder Cafe is the newest addition to the cafes in Toa Payoh and is situated in Toa Payoh Central. The whole place is dimly lit with simple cemented walls and floors and wooden furniture. Larder means a place where food is stored.
BBQ Pork Ribs - came recommended by the waiter, I would say this was satisfying with a delectable marination and meat that easily fell off the bones. Was it better than sticky bones at Morgansfield? Nope, it's not yet there.
Toa Payoh Lorong 5 Food Centre seems to be the supper spot for many people. Some of the stalls operate past 12 midnight such as He Jia Huan Ban Mian.
The prawn noodle soup was the traditional Singaporean kind, sweet, slightly prawny and really quite subtle. Although recommended by ieatishootipost, this was really a so so bowl, such that I didn’t finish the noodles. Only opened at night.

In August 2020, I happily arranged tp meet up with my mom to visit Toa Payoh so that we can grab some irresistible Uggli muffins . Alas, we ...
Nice Chinese style curry fish head with sweetish, slightly tangy curry and mild heat.
The noodles come with lots of pork cubes, tomatoes with scrambled eggs, thinly sliced cucumber and Chili flakes, giving the noodles a tangy and sweet finish.
Despite feeling full after wiping the plates clean, I was so tempted to dabao another Cumin Burger back home. Plus, considering the uncommonly found dishes we were served – at an affordable price – I’d say we cinched a great deal here!
Aside from the awesome fish ball, I also had dry mee pok tossed in chili sauce. This stall is probably the most famous fishball noodle in Lorong 7. Ya'll will know how famous this stall is from the snaking queue they have.
The mee pok was perfectly cooked and was soft yet springy.
This fish ball at Chao Zhou Fishball noodle is seriously so good!!
Oiishii Corner’s halal Japanese fare is tasty and comforting
The chicken curry katsu ramen and inari ramen was okay as well with the ramen not being the soggy kind. Pretty well-cooked to me.
