Recommended by 8 Days, by Ah Chiang of Ah Chiang’s Porridge. The Cantonese style pork ball porridge was smooth and creamy with only a bit of rice grains, light on the palate, with fresh, bouncy and savoury meatballs, as per what they described on their walls.
Really smooth fish balls and fish paste, spongy fried beancurd, and generally very simple and serviceable yong tau foo. Tasty and moist fishcake. Nice and light.
The porridge was really savoury and umami, cooked in a bone broth with ikan bilis and soya beans, with the rice pre-marinated in shallot oil. The minced pork balls were a flavour and umami bomb, with the dried flatfish flavour hitting you first, and the freshness and the sweetness of the pork coming next. Really simple and nice.
If you are looking for a affordable tasty meal, you should try Mr & Mrs Nasi Lemak at 243 Cantonment Road. At its new location you can find other stalls with different cuisines. So you can enjoy your yummy nasi lemak while your family or friends can tuck into other dishes which they may prefer.
A popular place for Greek food in Singapore, Bakalaki Greek Taverna is a large Greek restaurant in the River Valley Road / Mohamed Sultan area. Here are some of the food that we tried during a repeat visit.
They usually has a long queue line up in front of the stall, do grab them early to avoid disappointment.
A return visit to Tiong Bahru Market & Food Centre for 不见天.
One of the Stalls to try if you are Tiong Bahru Food Centre.
Bakalaki really is better visited in a large group, when one can share all sorts of stuff, like all of this nicely grilled seafood, not to mention a whole fish that they grilled and filleted for us, following a bunch of meze. I still can't confidently say whether I prefer these guys or Blu Kouzina, but the brightly lit decor is a nice setting for a business lunch.
The space is light and airy and inviting. The food is even better!
