Outram Park Fried Kway Teow, Tai Wah Pork Noodle, Ah Heng Curry Chicken Bee Hoon Mee, Singapore Michelin Guide Food at Hong Lim Food Centre
The chicken was moist, tasty, and with a crispy skin that was further topped with a crunchy laksa seasoning.
When I was at Hong Lim Food Centre last time, I didn't even realize that there were stalls downstairs. But there is one down there at stall #01-47 that does a nifty bowl filled with a generous variety of meatballs, fishballs, squidballs, and even herh keow fish dumplings in a bowl of soup. I liked most of them, even if the broth was a tad garlicky.
If you are a regular at Hong Lim Market & Food Centre, you may notice a new stall Wing Liao Lor! serving nasi lemak, mee siam, lontong, fried chicken cutlet, etc.
Recommended by Johor Kaki. The fried bee hoon was solid stuff – with fiery wok hei, all the component parts broken down, soft, moist, caramelised, eggy and savoury. Best bee hoon I have tasted.
If you are a fan of fried Char Kway Teow, you may have heard of this stall located at Hong Lim Food Centre; Outram Park Fried Kway Teow Mee. This stall has been mentioned many times on mainstream media such as The Straits Times, Yahoo Singapore and 8 days, and even received the Michelin Bib Gourmand award in 2018.
ecommended by 8 Days. Silky soft, slightly sweet, with crunchy and chewy peach gum, and soft and sweet red beans. Went down easily.
The texture is soft and delicate due to its thin skin.
I realized I do not enjoy this lor mee as much as I used to. I mean, it is decent but there are better ones out there.
Here's another one of the Michelin-listed stalls at Hong Lim (531A Upper Cross Street #02-48). They call themselves "wanton noodle specialists," and the items in the bowl were done with care, be it the firm and skinny noodles, paper thin skin on those fried wantons, or the wolfberry and red date garnished soup.
The egg noodles did an outstanding job of taking in all of the gravy and the fried chicken cutlet was a nice compliment to that whole thing.
Looking at the Steamed Fish Head Sauce, it's worth the money paid but if you are someone who do not enjoy lots of fish bones, Song Fish Fish Head will be the last of your choice for their bones are aplenty.
The duck confit was tender, moist and balanced in terms of flavour and saltiness, of good restaurant standard. The aglio olio was al dente, nicely seasoned in terms of oil, chilli, and chopped garlic. The coleslaw was crunchy and fresh, and the corn juicy. Every component was solid, and equivalent of those served in restaurant despite being just $13 for the set. Nice.
Delicious with distinct wok hei / breath of the wok, this gives me the hope that their other noodles are equally delicious. Highly recommended!
