Tong Kee Chicken Rice has moved to the new Margaret Drive Hawker Centre. Be prepared to queue for their popular roast chicken!
The roast pork and char siew are generally nothing to write home about.
I am rather disappointed with their rice. I am not sure if this is a one-off mishap or this is exactly how they want their rice to be? If so, then I am not too big a fan of it.
With Tanglin Halt undergoing the Selective En Block Redevelopment Scheme, our laksa hawker might just retire when the time comes for the market to be demolished!
For me, this is a rather disappointing bowl of laksa hence I am bewildered by its popularity.
i like weiyi laksa 唯一辣沙 particularly because it is lemak but not very lemak (& sweet) like katong laksa.
This was really an iconic stall here, which has been here like forever. Although the prata wasn’t freshly made, and looked like it had been lying there for a while (up to lunchtime), there was a very nice fragrance to the dough and good chewiness, which was really apparent in the plain prata. Not bad.
I get their prata and wouldn't mind coming back for that. Pretty sure there are more flavourful briyani that can be easily found.
I like their egg prata.
Even though Aw’s Signature Minced Pork Noodles is surrounded by a number of other food centres, I would still make a beeline for them when I’m in the area again.
Unfortunately during my visit, they are not selling the braised pork noodle. It is only available on Monday to Friday. I read that their braised pork is pretty good, hence I was looking forward to try it.
If you like varieties then Signature Noodle is a good choice as it consists of ingredients like prawns, quail egg, meatball, sliced abalone, fish maw, fish dumpling and mushrooms.
An old school stall relocated from Tanglin Halt. The Lotus Seed Thick Soup had a bit of bite and was tender without being mushy, and had a slight fragrance and was not overly sweet. Subtle dessert.
Among the three desserts that I have tried that day, this is my favorite. The beans have a good bite and texture to it.
The bee hoon and other offerings are rather run-of-the-mill so you can skip these and head straight for the fried chicken wings which are the main highlight here.

I have to say my trip to Tanglin Halt Food Centre was a double winner with Ayam Penyet from Warung O.M.C. and Kuih from Queenstown Lontong! If you’re popping by for your takeaway, the best time is in the afternoon before 3pm during this circuit breaker season.
For the price, this stall is pretty generous with its portion which makes for a comforting and filling meal to keep your day going.
the usual fare from HK street old chun kee, good and inexpensive.
The old school wanton noodles were slightly thicker, springy and wiry, with a very nice flavour and fragrance from the lardy sauce, mostly savoury and slightly sweet. The wantons were smooth but slight floury, and the char siew slightly sweet and tough. The noodles and sauce were the key attraction here.
This is easily one of my top few favorite wanton noodle. With young people shunning the hawker trade, I see light at the end of the tunnel for our hawker heritage!
MARCH 4, 2020 A familiar taste of Aw’s Signature Minced Pork Noodles at The Milky Way. So they have taken over here. Although I was led here by Tan Hsueh Yun of The Straits Times’ Food …
If you’re still feeling curious about the food here, I’d say get the Mixed Grill to be safe.
The queue is the longest during dinner time but fret not, because orders are done quite quickly.
Got a plate of nasi lemak. With fried fish, fried egg, bergedil, some paru and abit of serunding beside their sambal.
If you want to eat the Nasi Lemak here, you should come before 10am so that there is still a wide range of choices.
There is certainly something for everyone here! Deng is already more than 70 years old, and his children are not interested in taking over the 2nd-generation hawker stall.
Pretty impressed with Shen Ji Chicken Rice
Unlike other Teochew braised duck noodle stalls that offer only bee hoon, yellow noodle and kway teow, this stall also have mee kia and mee pok.
Good Japanese flavour with the shoyu, unlike the miso which was more subtle and not so easily identified. The noodles were cooked well and springy, and all the various toppings – Japanese charshu, sliced pork, minced pork, pork balls, deep fried lard and mock abalone – were tender and fresh.

If I had to describe it with just one word, it would be 'satisfying'.
They seriously did everything very well, and with pride. Very nice.
