There is a Sendakan stall right next to Jiakali at Chinatown Complex Food Centre (335 Smith Street #02-254), where I grabbed this fried pork hor fun.
The chee cheong fun was nice, traditional, smooth but substantive, with a nice sweet savoury sauce. The yam cake was soft and had a nice yam flavour. Good nostalgic stuff.
Good stuff, packed with ingredients. Fragrant, sticky and slightly grainy, with sweet chestnuts and tender, well braised and balanced fatty-lean meat, not overly greasy or salty and easy to go down.
The rack is full of chickens when I placed my order. By the time I finished my meal and return to take a photo of the stall front, only two whole chickens were left. And this is only the first hour of business.
When I first discover this stall, it was in the early morning but I did not order anything as I already had something else for breakfast. It was not until a few days later, I was nearby in the evenings. As I still have not taken my dinner, I decided to try my luck to see if the stall is still open and to my delight, it is!
The texture of the cheong fun feels silky soft like two layers melded together. I do wish it is a little springier though with some bite.
We are back at Chinatown Complex Market & Food Center for Meal. I was introduced to this relatively new stall that sell Lor Mee and decided to give it a try.
Whoa, the curry at this hawker stall (335 Smith Street #02-051) is awesome, particularly in that it's both spicy and gritty, with a good dose of anise in there, if I tasted it correctly.
The combination of pork lard, perfectly cooked noodles, and Mr. Tan’s expert frying skills creates a dish worth waiting in line for!
Chinatown Food Centre is a treasure trove of culinary delights, offering a myriad of renowned stalls that cater to food enthusiasts from all walks of life. Among the notable stalls, Chang Le Chee Cheong Fun 尝乐猪肠粉 stands out as a hidden gem that's certainly worth exploring.
