It's not so special that I'd go out of my way for it, but it was a high quality bowl at an affordable price.
The chicken wings were good too, but I'd rather go to R&B for those. Here, the thing to get was the crab.
The dish was absolutely transformed from decent to extraordinary by its star condiment. That sambal belachan alone is worth paying this stall a visit.
Being a fan of the more moist and succulent variation of this beloved local #hawkerfare, this particular plate of Hokkien mee suited my taste preferences perfectly.
Singapore Fried Hokkien Mee at Whampoa Market always has long queues.
The Hokkien mee was watery, and had a chao ta and alkaline taste, with a bit of seafood flavour. I thought this was quite average, and had little of the prawn flavour and wok hei. The lady standing on the ladder stairs by the side taking orders was quite a sight though, and there was already a queue at opening.
Overall, I feel that doughnut shack offers pretty decent doughnut selections with the main doughnut cooked well and fluffy without excessive oil. They are also generous with the fillings and glaze so you can eat the entire doughnut with enough flavour.
Gotta support local here and I will be checking back on their local specials next time!
The eccentric flavours stuck the landing for their success, and at just $2.50 a pop, the doughnuts here definitely offer value for money.
The prawn noodles soup had a 清甜古早味, with mainly sweetness from the pork, and some brininess from the prawn. Comforting old school bowl. Perennial favourite, with a 20 minute queue in the morning.
I'm not sure if there is a corresponding stall at Whampoa Food Centre that does it the same way, but this one here at Tekka Centre is worth coming back for (665 Buffalo Road #01-326).
It is a good stall in the estate to have old school prawn noodle flavours here at 545 Whampoa Prawn Noodle.
The fragrance of the lor permeated through the food centre as I was queuing for the lor mee. The fritters were crispy and flavourful, and there was quite a lot of them, of good sizes. The lor bak was substantial too. The lor was thick, savoury and had a hearty meaty and soy sauce flavour.
The Best Lu Mian In Town offers an above average Lor Mee, but I wouldn’t queue for the same amount of time the next visit.
“The Best Lu Mian in Town” I wouldn’t dispute that, so long as we know the boundaries of the “town” we are talking about.
Nestled within the vibrant atmosphere of Whampoa Market 5, China Whampoa Homemade Noodles stands as a beacon for noodle aficionados seeking a good bowl of ban mian.
“This is one of my top, top, top, top picks, especially when it comes to comfort food,” Alice said in reference to China Whampoa Home Made Noodles at Block 91 Whampoa Drive (residents call it the “morning market”).
The quality of their fried birds and crunchy fried chicken skin were still good though.
At Whampoa Market, I heard about this stall that has Ginger Chicken. I wasn’t sure if it would be dry, how oily or greasy it was, etc. but I went for it.
This Halal fried chicken rice at Whampoa Market serving crispy outside, juicy inside fried chicken enveloped with aromatic spices and mild ginger heat rivals KFC, Arnold's and their ubiquitous Hainanese counterparts.
So if you’re craving for the nostalgia and taste of charcoal steamboat, check out this stall at Whampoa Market.
There's always a queue and they do fish head steamboat at night which I've gathered is pretty popular.
Not very impressed with the bowl. It was average at best.
There was a single word on the signboard at this Whampoa Makan Place stall (90 Whampoa Drive #01-54) that caught my eye: sesame. Yes, I love sesame seeds, and I was very curious to see how they featured it in this dish, especially since the picture didn't show anything obvious.
The meatballs were equally good as fish meat was added for the desired bounciness.
Yeah, it was good, with delicately fried piping hot pieces of fish, quality noodles, and a broth that was savory enough for me to drink to the last drop.
This is certainly one of, if not the best, fish soup that I’ve tried.
Recommended by ieatishootipost. Greasy, soft and slippery char kway teow, full of garlic and wok hei. A bit old school – less sweet, and more savoury and a bit chao ta. Steady stream of customers immediately after it opened. Not bad, although I felt the taste was bit one dimensional. I probably missed the sweetness.
It might not be the best Fried Kway Teow but it definitely has got a certain standard.
At NiuNiu Tea & DuDu Rice, you get an extensive menu of Korean-Taiwanese street food in a small hawker stall.
Very nice.
Hi Leskmi Nasi Lemak, nasi lemak, sgfood, review
This is definitely one good nasi lemak that will put all other nasi lemak-inspired dishes to shame.
What made people loyal to the brand is its consistency in every plate. The challenge now of its second-generation owner to maintain this legacy of flavour for the years to come.
I must say, it didn’t disappoint.
Overall, 黄金烧腊 Golden Roast Char Siew delivered in their execution of homey and budget-friendly wanton mee and ngoh hiang. So, pop by to grab a plate and enjoy some playful banter with the elderly couple. I’m sure I’ll be back!
I'm not sure if these guys at Whampoa Makan Place are really that famous, or if it's just self-proclaimed (90 Whampoa Drive #01-24).
A solid crisp on the exterior without excessive grease. Meat on the inside was still tender and filled with juices.
"The Roast Duck is just so so."
One more good option for delicious, affordable lunch and dinner when you are in the Whampoa area.
I definitely recommend the roast pork here. And, if you come earlier in the day, the smoky char siew will be worth a try as well.
