I feel that the key to being a successful hawker is not only to have tasty dishes but also to have the ability to be consistent, giving people a reason to keep coming back.
This really begs the question as to why there are not more curry mee stalls around, seeing that their business is so good!
It’s always interesting to find out for yourself if the highly-lauded food stalls with perpetually long queues are really worth the wait. Inspired by the local television show, Where The Queue Starts, I decided to put myself in one of those notoriously long queues at Hong Lim Market And Food Centre,…
I have not been dining out much during this period for personal reasons. This pretty much explained why I have not been updating this blog. ...
Finishing a meal here left me with a hodgepodge of emotions.
Really good and cheap chicken curry mee you must try if you are a curry fan. Sweet, very lemak, mild spices. I shall be back for more Cantonese Delights dishes.
I liked most of them, even if the broth was a tad garlicky.
On the whole, Dong Fang Hong Sotong Ball Seafood Soup proved to be a stand-out, amidst the treasure trove of popular food stalls in Hong Lim.
The taste is complex yet it is coherent as it is just many many complementary layers of natural savoury sweetness.
I remember Chef Eddy Wan. He used to run Rustic Bistro at China Street but closed down. I visited the cafe in June 2015 and was quite impres...
I do see Eddy’s No.1 becoming another reason why people visit this place.
The journey was long but Eddy made it and boy, am I glad that he did.
Overall, the dish still tastes better than others I tried in Singapore but I will not queue for it.
One such stall is Outram Park Fried Kway Teow Mee at Hong Lim Food Centre which is also recognised in Michelin Bib Gourmand Singapore 2018 and 2019 edition.
Firm slices of fish were nice but the kailan was a little fibrous. As a whole, it was delicious.
Tried their chai por fried rice which looked very mundane.
With modern wok–hei dishes by day and traditional zi char fare by night, I’d say Tang Kay Kee deserves multiple return visits.
Based on my experience, I’d say come at 11am and be the first in line. Don’t come later than noon because the first time I went at 1pm, fruit juice mee siam was sold out.
The famous Sungei Road laksa. Still very good!
Worth a try - the best thing here in my opinion is their unique sweet savoury peppery sauce.
Though the food isn’t mind-blowingly spectacular, it is undeniable that Tuck Kee (Ipoh) Sah Hor Fun stands as one of Singapore’s cheapest places to enjoy crayfish hor fun.
This is definitely a stall to try if you love your wanton noodles.
I’ll definitely be back to try them if I’m in the area!
This is definitely better in value.
While their noodles are up to par and enough to put me in a food coma, my only wish was that I could savour more of their ingredients.
If I were in the area and looking for a lunch option, I’d come to Mian Zhuang.
The texture is soft and delicate due to its thin skin.
Ah Heng is best known for its traditional Teochew-style braised duck, not overly marinated nor too herbal.
The carbohydrate on my mind was noodle, specifically Hokkien mee, but no such stall was operating when I was at Hong Lim Food Centre, after ...
Most people would be quite familiar with Hong Lim hawker centre which is right behind Chinatown Point but I bet those who are not working /...
This is not the conventional Wanton Mee you would typically get, but it’s definitely worth a try!
The charcoal-roasted roasts here are pretty good but next time, I will be sure to ask for 半肥瘦叉烧 instead and hopefully, I can have better luck with that delicious looking spare ribs.
My sister mentioned that there was a famous dim sum stall at Chinatown Complex Hawker Centre that served only six types of dim sum! I wanted...
The problem when you have favorite hawker stalls is that you resist trying new stalls. But it was Saturday when I dropped by Chinatown Compl...
From popiah and claypot rice to MICHELIN-starred soya sauce chicken, these are the MICHELIN inspectors’ favourite stalls at Chinatown Complex.
There’s actually a secret at Hong Lim Food Centre known only to regulars and I wasn’t aware about it until my elder sister, who worked next ...
I had been delaying the publication of this post as Hong Lim Food Centre was closed for two weeks due to its identification as a cluster for...
The chicken was moist, tasty, and with a crispy skin that was further topped with a crunchy laksa seasoning.
In this video, we headed over to Amoy Street Food Centre to do a $100 hawker food challenge! I’m joined by my Taiwanese friend @艾莉愛吃 Ali Eats which is also ...
Tried their masala coffee. Their masala mix had a fiery kick. Nice but there were a couple of things that bothered me.
This plate of kuey teow would have benefitted much from more dark soy sauce for their flavour and more through caramelization.
