I don't think this changfen stall was around last time I was at Toa Payoh West Market, so I gave it a try today (127 Lorong 1 Toa Payoh #02-22). It turns out that it's from a guy who learned his techniques in Guangzhou, so the sheets of rice noodles were scrunched up rather than folded, making for a nice texture to catch that salty sauce. But the white bee hoon to the left of it wasn't very savory, so I won't bother with it again.
I enjoyed the chee cheong fun. The sauce was tasty and fragrant, and the rice sheet was smooth with a custardy texture and fragrance from the egg, and a crunch and freshness from the lettuce. The chilli was umami and sandy, and was a great addition too.
Grandpa Homemade Cheung Fun opens daily from as early as 6.30am. With traditional stone-milled Cheung Fun being a rarity these days, I’ll for sure be back for more!
This is mainly because of the peppery and aromatic broth, as well as the use of proper quality garnishes and thin slices of beef. The noodles were wider than I prefer, but at least they didn't overcook them.

There were 14 muffins in my box (buy 10 get 2 free) and the boss actually passed me another one in a separate plastic bag; flavour was olive which i guess might not sound too palatable for many people.
The noodles were extremely qq, springy, wiry and tasty. The chilli was really spicy, and the dumplings full of various ingredients like prawn, water chestnut and wood fungus, and nicely textured and flavoured and slightly peppery.
Come Daily Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee 天天来炒福建虾面 review and Joo Heng wanton mee at Block 127 Toa Payoh West Singapore
This stall was in Toa Payoh (127 Lorong 1 Toa Payoh #02-39), and it turns out that this is actually a small chain from Boon Lay that I only now realize that I'd eaten at before. I'm not quite sure how it stands up to SunnyChoice (I'll need to go back there to do a proper shootout), but I was very happy with this.
Aside from the egg that had turned into a crisp; the radish cake retained a nice bite that was complemented by the addition of preserved radish (known as chai po). The two prawns were good to have even though not really a necessity. Overall, my feel is that this would be a plate of carrot cake that many of the older generation would enjoy.
The soya bean and tau huay had a strong fragrance of soy bean. The tau huay was soft and smooth, although I thought each scoop of tau huay was a bit too thick, resulting in too large a gloop of tau huay in each mouthful.
As a food enthusiast with a penchant for exploring diverse cuisines, I recently found myself drawn to the vibrant stall front of MD Noor Hakim Chicken Rice, despite my infrequent visits to halal chicken rice stalls.
When it comes to comfort food, few dishes rival the warmth and satisfaction of a hearty bowl of soup.
The dining partner did agree that they tasted great too and mentioned that we will be back Gong Bao Frog Porridge on the next visit.
This household name in the local dining scene has become synonymous with delicious ban mian experiences. During a recent visit to their Block 126 Lorong 1 Toa Payoh outlet, I had the pleasure of savoring their signature dishes – the Original Soup You Mian and the Tom Yum Sea Prawns Ban Mian.
The shredded chicken is cooked until it's very soft and then shredded and has a slightly stringy or fibrous texture. Though the star is the fish dumplings with their firm and slightly chewy texture. Everything is handmade from scratch with love from mincing the fish, making the skin, and putting them together.
stall closing about 2.15pm. gave is double serving of char siew. super yum
char siew was perfect, tender, smooth, flavourful, nicely charred
The noodles remind me of the Hong Kong style noodles and it has the springiness and QQ texture.
Chicken Pie Kitchen & Don Signature Crab serves up chicken pies, crab bee hoon soup, and kueh lapis made using recipes by chef-owner Don Lim.
No doubt I do enjoy their Signature Crab Bee Hoon, but with the limited seating, carpark lots and limited dining time, it was not at our advantage. I guess I will have to resort to take away if I do have the craves for their Crab Bee Hoon.
we took the excellent very tasty S$25 crab beehoon.
Creamier is a rather small shop though! The interior is quite artsy though. The walls are decorated with picture frames and the ceiling with hanging lights. The interior also has a wooden feel because of the choice of wooden cabinets, counters, tables, and chairs.

Lai Heng Mushroom Minced Meat Noodle at Lorong 4 Toa Payoh Singapore Bak Chor Mee Review
Go for the soup version! That is the food to try out!
today the bcm was a far cry.. meepok still qq and loose, but the key chilli sauce was poor, slight salty but mostly becss not fragrant & tasty..
The owner of this store is just a genius! This claypot concoction is so good! I guess it is different when you eat from the plate than from the claypot because there's alot of "zhup" here and it is served to boil hot to you.
Kim Keat Hokkien Mee is often said to be one of the top 5 Hokkien mee stalls in Singapore. We stopped by at Lorong 4 Toa Payoh to try their famous claypot Hokkien mee.
Aside from the claypot version, there are usual option like hokkien mee on a plate or traditional one that' served on traditional opeh leaf.
To avoid any disappointment, it's advisable to call ahead before planning your visit. During lunch hours, expect a bustling crowd, so a short wait may be necessary.
The Hokkien mee was sticky and viscous, just the way I liked it. The underlying stock was very layered and thick, full of prawny and crustacean goodness. The noodles were soft and had absorbed the essence of the stock fully. I slumped the whole thing up in minutes.
Interestingly, the noodles seems to have been cut as they were shorter than usual.
SOI 47 THAI FOOD is a Thailand food restaurant that occupied the spot where Studio Cafe used to be. I knew I had to thai'd that! The cafe has outdoor and indoor seating.
I've seen this chain around for ages but had never tried it until today. The menu was pretty standard Thai fare; there wasn't anything in particular that stood out about it, be it positively or negatively. But it was a step up from Thai Express at least, and they seemed to make a conscious effort of straining out the lemongrass from the soup above, making it easier to eat.
While I wouldn’t say that SOI 47 is the best Thai restaurant in Singapore, I have no doubt it is one of the most value-for-money ones around. And if I am in the area, a re-visit would be in place.
This kopitiam stall (125 Lorong 1 Toa Payoh #01-523) has gotten some attention for not just the food, but also the fact that it's run by an Indian couple, so much that they've even marketed themselves as "the Indian Fishball Mee Experience."
I’m always on the hunt for a satisfying bowl of fishball noodles, especially if it includes quality, handmade her giao (fish dumplings), which are notoriously hard to find. Call it destiny, but it …
The signature noodles were not bad. Mushroomy and refreshingly light in flavour. The various fishballs and meatballs had good textures and appeared homemade. The her giao was ok although slightly floury. Not bad for a “celebrity” hawker.
