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.
took very good porridge @ weng kiang kee.
Weng Kiang Kee Porridge is another food gem that adds vibrancy to the old-school enclave of Chinatown.
The porridge was rich, smooth and the right thickness, it tasted towards the traditional Hainanese style porridge
I'm liking the gentle sweetness on the skin of the slurp of the bone tender chicken. Everything was as good as I remembered it.
I love my chicken rice chili so much I would add a lot to my plate till friends would tease me that I am having chili rice instead.
瑪俐亞處女雞 serves one of the nicest HK soya sauce chicken in Chinatown Complex, if not Singapore. Ideal for you, if you like food with a slight sweet leaning taste profile.
Having finally tried the Bento Combo Jumbo for the benefit of the 'gram, I shall try their duck meat with white rice served the traditional way next time.
The braised duck meat was moist and tender unlike those that you may get elsewhere, where they are sometimes tough and hard to chew.
Though their braised duck is not the best, the yam rice is amongst the nicest that I tried.
For its taste and quality, Lian He Ben Ji is well worth the price.
Oh well, taste is subjective and not everyone has the same preference. If you want to give this place a try, you can call this number +65 6227 2470 to make a booking of the claypot so that you do not need to wait for an hour plus there.
Overall, the claypot rice and chicken tasted slightly on the bland side and needed a little boost.
Claypot & Cooked Food Kitchen is a nondescript looking food stall with an equally non descriptive name tucked away in a far corner in the "green zone" of Chinatown Complex Food Centre.
Whilst the food here is certainly value for money, it is probably more suited for smaller groups than lone customers.
It is cheap and good for just $8, the same dish is for $15 over at Keng Eng Kee Seafood, it is their signature dish too.
With Fatty Ox HK Kitchen serving up such high quality dishes, you don’t have to pay restaurant prices for classic Cantonese fare.
I am glad I found Fatty Ox because their soy sauce chicken and other offerings are comparable to, if not better than Liao Fan's (Hawker Chan) without that crazy queue.
Their thin noodle is almost angel hair-liked. It has a good bite and is tossed in a nice, savory sauce.
Maybe they aren't worth the time in the queue considering that there's an overwhelming plethora of other options in Chinatown.
Their sui gao looked orange-y.
The portion of the noodle is sufficient to keep me full. The tossing sauce which is simply pork lard oil and sambal chili complimented the springy noodle.
A bowl of chendol that truly embodies the Singaporean hawker spirit!
All of my friends who have tried Old Amoy Chendol enjoyed it and strongly recommend it. It's a good dessert if you are in Chinatown Complex.
"Nice!" The rice flour rolls were cut into pieces using a scissor in a fast motion then served in a pool of sweet sauce then drizzled with chilli sauce and sprinkled with sesame seeds.
You have to make an effort to come early for a plate because they only get enough stock from the supplier to sell out in a couple of hours.
Duo Ji Chee Cheong Fun has been around since 1970s and they have a faithful crowd every morning.
The unagi is glazed with their sauce and kind of glisten under the light, giving the surface a good glow.
Kazan Japanese Cuisine is a real gem. They serve good food in generous portions and prices are wallet-friendly.
1 review of KAZAN Japanese Cuisine "It is always hard to link good Japanese food with hawker centre. But this stall will change your impression. It offers Teriyaki Bento, Salmon, Bento and other rice items at hawker price but restaurant standard.…
A very competent satay even though they don’t make their own.
The satays here are cooked-to-order, so they are still juicy upon serving. The skewered meats achieved the right amount of char from the grilling. You can tell they have been seasoned and marinated well because they are tender and flavourful.
My hunt for Michelin-starred hawker in Singapore continues. In this post I will review one of the best satay stall in Singapore, 168 CMY Satay, who listed in Singapore Michelin Guide and awarded 1 …
A plate of char kway teow that is well worth your calories!
I do not recommend you packing this. Have it there and enjoy!
Quite a nice "wet" fried kway teow but I would really love it if the flavours were more intense, more punchy.
Between the two, somehow the Popiah was more satisfying, perhaps due to the skin and fuller fillings.
The freshly made popiah skin was very thin and light. The skin did not become soggy or break easily.
3 reviews of Ann Chin Popiah "I am no expert on popiah. All I can say it is delicious. The wrappers are delicate and soft and you can ask her to not make them too spicy if you're a whimp like me. This is a hawker stand on the second floor of the…
Portions were pretty generous.
Monan is like a mix of traditional and modern dishes. The stall is new, but I’m sure they have what it takes to improve their recipes, and make egg sausages popular again.
The ytf looked great, and the chilli too! all the friends enjoyed it….
they do not get ready stock from the suppliers, they cannot offer a wide variety however, you can be guaranteed that your Yong Tau Foo is made fresh at the stall daily.
In conclusion, xlb lovers must make a trip to Zhong Guo La Mian Xiao Long Bao specially for their xlbs. It is THAT good, and totally worth a try.
They have brown chicken rice and also kampong chicken.
If you are particular about the chicken in your clay pot chicken rice, Zhao Ji's rendition would probably satisfy you. That's what got me hooked.
With its Really affordable price tag, Really Something is Really worth a try.
This stall is really something different, worth a try if you happen to be in this food centre.
While their other dishes have room for improvement, we got some decently enjoyable food, especially for their highly affordable prices.
Millennium Glutinous Rice has definitely made itself a favourite on my list and I really hope another ambitious person will learn the ropes from Steven in the future, and continue serving this nostalgic dish in the decades to come.
I've tried both and I think I like the sweet variety a little better.
