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.
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.
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!
The queue is the longest during dinner time but fret not, because orders are done quite quickly.
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.
Missing good ol’ Malaysian food? Old Village dishes out bowls of KL-style pork noodles in Tanglin Halt to satiate those cravings! Read more.
maybe should have ordered roast chicken usually the roast flavour is better
The only disappointment was the Sliced Beef with Spicy Sauce & Dried Shrimp ($24). The seasoning was on point, a layered heat of dried chillis, dried shrimp, fried garlic, and curry leaves, but the beef was the culprit. It lacked heft and freshness, so while the beef was meltingly fatty, the heady spice failed to mask its inferior quality.
