Not bad, but not terribly memorable and a bit too heavy with the thicker skin all throughout.
Apart from their specialty fried Teochew kuehs, people also return for their classic black and white carrot cake, starting from $2.50.
Yong Xiang Carrot Cake is one of at least three fried carrot cake stalls at Bendemeer Food Centre.
I like their house made sambal chili sauce as it has a sharp hot sting and there was plenty of lard which gave the sauce a distinct lardy flavour and some sweetness.
In a nutshell, if you’re feeling nostalgic and want an old school bowl of prawn noodles, do check out No Name Prawn Mee!
When it comes to which prawn mee is the best in Singapore, I’m sure we’re all ready to “throw hands” at anyone who dares contend against our favourite. Nowadays, it’s not uncommon for a bowl of prawn mee to cost a hefty S$8 or more. The fault lies in the novelty of jumbo prawns — people don’t […]
Though the presentation of the noodles was of limited colours and dull, the taste of the seasonings and sauce was good.
Without a doubt, it is a convenient spot for me to satisfy my Bak Chor Mee craving.
Springy noodles dry-tossed in a concoction of stewed mushroom sauce and chili which make for a robust bowl of noodles.
Overall, I am glad we found this place. The BKT and steamed seafood are just superb.
Lau Ah Tee is one of the last old school Singapore bak kut teh using heritage recipe, fresh pork and stubbornly cooked in the old (read not mass produced) way.
Overall, LD and I are glad that we found this Boon Tong Kee branch.
The laksa gravy was light yet so flavourful with a strong coconut fragrance. Once you start slurping the noodles with the laksa gravy, you cannot stop. That is how good it was.
I ordered the $3.50 portion, it was served with a good portion of thick bee hoon together with fresh-tasting ingredients a piece of half-boiled egg, cockles, slices of fish cake and tau pok with a handful of beansprouts. The gravy was light with a hint of dried shrimps and coconut milk. This homely taste is quite enjoyable.
there could be another reason my laksa did not taste great
We tried the crispy roasted chicken ($26 for half). The skin of this chicken was amazingly crisp. It must have been subjected to really temperatures. The meat was slightly dry. If only it was more moist this would have been perfect.
Lor Mee loaded with fried pork belly.
I will definitely be back to try the fried fish lor mee, but you have to try the deep fried pork belly lor mee first!!
All at an affordable, competitive price.
Not the most delicious bowl of noodles but there’s something about its flavours that make it comforting.
Nevertheless, I would definitely go back to try that dish during dinner.
Chef Petrina describes the braised duck here as very Teochew and very traditional. It’s a favourite of her mother’s and keeping things in the culinary family, Ah Xiao Teochew Braised Duck at Bendeemer happens to be run by one of her former Morsels chefs, so the connection is strong! Personal relationship aside though, this is braised duck with really high standards.
we will be back the next time.
