Quite average. Quite mushy, although silky, and the sauce was lightly savoury and tasty.
I started patronizing Old Airport Road Hawker Centre only after I secured my driving license back in year 2005 and back then; there were jus...
Whitley Road Big Prawn Noodle at Old Airport Road Hawker Centre and char siew rice from Ah Yee Hong Kong Roasted were the yummy local delights that we ended up eating when we were in the Mountbatten MRT Station vicinity recently.
I have not tried Xin Mei Xiang Lor Mee, but accordingly, to my friends, the gravy is lighter in flavour in comparison.
A reliable lor mee this was. Best to go early in the morning, when the queue was short and manageable.
Wouldn't mind eating this again but I'd like to give the other Tiong Bahru Lor Mee stall a try first.
I can conclude that my first kway chap experience was very pleasant.
This left quite a good impression as this is the cleanest innards that I ever tasted.
Though this food centre is one of the biggest in Singapore, locating the stall is not that difficult, just look for the longest queue and you will most likely find yourself standing in front of the stall. We often saw the snaking line and gave it a pass. Still, our glutton nature won out in the end. We had to find out: why is this kway chap worthy of a 30 minute wait?
Mee pok with minced pork, their concoction of fatty/greasy sauces and chilli paste which made a delicious bowl of smoky savoury noodles.
Roast Paradise is definitely not one of those typical ‘Roasted Delights’ stores that you’d find dotted around Singapore.
The Char Siew is still amongst the best that I had eaten but I could not say the same about their Sio Bak as I actually prefer those from 88 Hong Kong Roast Meat Specialist. The texture of the Char Siew was amazingly soft, this is their signature dish that has left many of their customers smitten.
The prawns in my medium-sized bowl above were very fresh and delicate, and I wanted to eat more.
Next time I'm going to splurge on their "jumbo" bowl to see how those bad boys fare.
Thankfully the prawns were fresh and plump, no complaints on that. Ensuring freshness, the prawns were boiled in the stock upon ordering.
This is easily one of the best fried chicken cutlets I had in Singapore. If you are a fan of chicken cutlet, Salt is a must try.
After all, it is not everyday that someone holds your hands to pray for you, after a dreamy and super delicious meal.
Its good that we got a plate of Nam Sing Hokkien Fried Mee after their "Novelty" period in the west as I heard that they have been improvising the version since day one of operation.
Don’t get me wrong, it was a good plate of noodles, but it wouldn’t warrant me travelling all the way to the East and waiting one hour in line for it.
The chef was generous with the beansprouts and i found pieces of green vegetables (psychologically, it made me feel that the meal was healthier) in the mix. I was most impressed with the lup cheong which had a distinctive taste unlike the rest i had tried so far! Put it this way, it's rare to find me looking around the noodles for more lup cheong!
It is a not-bad plate, though I think some customers may prefer the dark, wetter type with stronger flavours. Then again, everyone has their preferred style of Char Kway Teow.
When I have a craving for a comforting delicious bowl of beef noodles in Singapore, Authentic Hock Lam Street Popular Beef Kway Teow Noodles will be at the top of my mind.
Whether you are craving for a classical Teochew beef noodle or a "dry" beef noodle, you can get it at Hock Lam Street Popular Beef Kway Teow by Francis @ Old Airport Road Food Centre, and Authentic Hock Lam Street Popular Beef Kway Teow by Edwin @ North Canal Road.
This beef kway teow originated from Hock Lam Street and it has a long history.
the nonya chendol was good, gula melaka and coconut milk very intense 👍kopi strong & flavourful recommended by LKY.
I would definitely come back just for these underpriced Big Prawns!
Kallang Cantonese Live Prawn Noodles is definitely a more premium Prawn Noodle option, but I feel that the price is more than fair, considering how fresh the prawns are!
Hua Kee Hougang Famous Wanton Mee is also listed in the Michelin Singapore Guide, under the “Michelin Plate”.
Fairly normal but springy noodles, with each of the ingredients done quite well and fresh, including the her kiao, dumpling, prawn paste, pork slices, and crispy and fragrant tee poh. The noodles was just overly vinegary and spicy though, and the whole bowl not cohesive as a dish.
It is all the experience, effort and fresh ingredients that counts.
The wait might be long but it is definitely worth the effort as it was one of the better ones that I had tasted. It might not be good enough to be considered the best but it is impressive enough to be called the hidden gem.
Not bad at all.
Hawkers like these couple are a real gem. They work every single day and spent their whole lives just making this one dish.

We loved that the dishes are pretty affordable!
They also serve white carrot cake stir-fried with chai po and eggs. If you like the best of both worlds, just order a plate of black and white carrot cake.
If you’ve got a bigger appetite, feel free to add more items to your nasi lemak. They’ve got a decent spread of affordably-priced fried items and vegetables. They also serve curry vegetables (sayur lodeh) if you prefer a wetter nasi lemak!
