Nestled within Alexandra Village Food Centre, this Michelin Bib Gourmand awardee has carved a niche for itself with its dedication to quality ingredients and MSG-free soups.
The char siew was tender and sweet, and the wanton had silky skin and flavourful and textured meat filling with prawn. The soft springy noodles with the slightly sweet savoury black sauce went down easily and nicely, with the crispy wanton skin adding a nice touch of crunch. Not bad at all.
Recommended by Johor Kaki. The fish soup had a really good body and layered flavours, of savoriness, sweetness and tanginess from the salted vegetables. The fried fish was really crispy and tasty, of just the right saltiness and texture, and the sliced fish was really fresh and tender. Nice.
Lye Bo might not offer an extensive menu, but it more than makes up for it with its focus on quality. Their selection of tossed noodles is deliberately concise, featuring only three straightforward options.
Personally, I am contented with this bowl of prawn noodle however, something seems missing.
Old school stall recommended by EatBook.Ah. The soon kueh or bamboo shoot kueh had nice crisp and lightly savoury fillings and was refreshing, with a good bite. The yam ang ku kueh was not bad in terms of uniqueness although normal in term of taste and texture.
Recommended by The Traveling Hungryboy. The pho here had a dark broth which was sweet, meaty and had layers of flavours like mint and freshness coming through. The pho itself was smooth, and the sliced beef beefy and fairly tender. The spring roll was serviceable, plump with meat and prawn and vegetables.
Keng Eng Kee opened a new outlet in 2022 at SAFRA Tampines. With the restaurant in the East and the zi char restaurants in West Singapore, they have the whole Singapore covered.
Keng Eng Kee (KEK) Seafood is considered one of the best in Singapore, and for my son’s birthday we went here.
The first thing I saw when I stepped into Alexandra Village Food Centre today was this Vietnamese stall (120 Bukit Merah Lane 1 #01-02).
