When I approached the stall, I was impressed by the little chicken bowls the wa kuih were in. So traditional! But alas, these were merely for display as my wa kuih was served in disposable plastic bowls instead.
They are open as early as 7.45am till sold out. Have you tried Wa Kuih yet? Do have a try before such a traditional snack disappears from my sight.
The wa kueh really depended on the slightly sweet brown sauce (like a less viscous chee cheong fun sauce) to do the heavy lifting in terms of flavour. The kueh itself seemed to lack the inherent kueh fragrance, and was a bit too firm from what I remembered, although the mushroom bits and hae bi studded within were a nice touch. The whole thing missed a touch of complexity and fragrance, and was a bit too clean tasting.
One of the longest time stall in Chinatown Complex Market & Food Centre. Here’s your plate of heartwarming CCF!
"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.
The chee cheong fun was nice, traditional, smooth but substantive, with a nice sweet savoury sauce. The yam cake was soft and had a nice yam flavour. Good nostalgic stuff.
The other thing I don't mind from them are their chee cheong fun. Sometimes I like them sauced and sometimes, the clean tasting combination of soy sauce and sesame oil is good enough.
This particular stall is one of the more popular ones hence a perpetual queue is to be expected although it is not as terrible as Liao Fan's (Hawker Chan) which is just perpendicular in front to their stall.

This is one stall I’ll recommend to any chicken rice lovers out there.
Good stuff, packed with ingredients. Fragrant, sticky and slightly grainy, with sweet chestnuts and tender, well braised and balanced fatty-lean meat, not overly greasy or salty and easy to go down.
If you are missing grandma’s home made Hokkien chang then make a beeline for Chinatown Complex Food Centre where you can find lots of other gems as well!
This is a stall with history, with a good 2006 Starits Times recommendation at its stallfront. The hor fun was freshly cooked and full of fiery and charred wok hei, with a solid garlicky and black bean flavour. The beef was beefy, yet tender enough. Two nice hor funs in a roll.

Want delicious pasta without having to pay the steep prices? Head down to Nudedles.4 at Chinatown Complex Hawker Centre, helmed by a young chef.
Drop by Ah Pui Tiong Bahru Satay if you are a satay lover, and it is best enjoyed with other Singaporean dishes. This is quite the ideal spot in Chinatown for locals or tourists as it is a convenient one stop spot to savour some of the famous hawker dishes in Singapore.

The steamed fish from this stall is as good as any of the competitors in the vicinity.
