Fatty Ipoh Noodles Spawned just last May within Pasir Panjang Food Centre, rather new kid on the block Fatty Ipoh Noodles (a poky ...
This hor fun presented an interesting contrast in textures not seen elsewhere with the crispy hor fun on top. The generous pork lard was very crispy and fragrant, and the sauce was really smooth and eggy. The accompanying ingredients – fishcake, sliced pork, sliced fish and chicken prawns – were ok and quite competent. Overall quite nice – comfort food I will go back for.
Fatty Ipoh Fried Noodles is a definite hidden gem in Pasir Panjang. Most of their dishes are priced at $5, making it an absolute steal! Read more.
I decided to try the old school looking chicken chop from No 1 Western Food. Frankly, I did check with my friend who lives around the area and her verdict was that it used to be superbly good in the old Margaret Drive Hawker Centre but standard had dropped.
Ingredients were generally good, with the exception of the bitter ginkgo nuts! I was most impressed with the addition of red dates, which wasn't that common in many cheng tng stalls, and the stall operator used pretty good quality ones!
You would have probably been attracted by this strong aroma of The Original Katong Laksa if you were in Queensway Shopping Center.
Mildly flavoured, and mildy lemak laksa. Easy to go down, but not very distinctive. The otah was nice though, and added a nice kick to the laksa. This was a popular stall right beside the atrium of the shopping centre.
Very nice and savoury Kuala Lumpur wanton mee. The sauce was the bomb – deep, dark, sweet and savoury, complementing the thin qq noodles. The chicken char siew was quite nice – smooth, meaty and sweet, and the wantons were crispy and satisfying.
Despite the lack of pork, this being a halal food court, both the prawn noodles and char kway teow had good authentic Penang flavours.
They only serve Ipoh-style hor fun and there are a total of 9 choices, served with toppings like chicken, chicken feet, duck and spare ribs.
Getting to this food centre is very convenient.
I found myself at Ghim Moh Market and Food Centre on a quiet Wednesday morning trying this highly raved chwee kueh.
The traditional hand-made chwee kueh was slightly soft with some firmness and fragrance of the rice. The chai por was less dark than that of other stalls, and was balanced, tasty, salty-savoury (with pork lard and garlic and no sugar) but not overly salty.
The familiar taste and the sweet Black Carrot Cake style has fit my liking. Although its a one man show, the orders were quick to serve. I will be back again.
The carrot cake was nice and serviceable, with good sweetness, char and wok hei, and good soft texture with some crispy parts. The only thing missing was the caramelisation and chao ta of the egg, and that perhaps it was a bit too sweet.
On my plate of white rice sprinkled with black sesame seeds were a generous serving of lu rou, braised peanuts, two halves of a hard-boiled egg and a bed of lettuce. It came with a free bowl of vegetable soup.

Ah Kee Beef Noodle is definitely one to visit for a total beefy extravaganza. Their portions are plentiful, the taste on point and just one bowl makes for a robust, hearty, deeply-satisfying meal.

The sweet spicy gravy has a creamy and nutty taste, and the sour notes from the tamarind blended in well with the spicy chilli. Definitely appetizing! The fragrance and nuttiness were simply worthy of. The tiny shrimps are the star on the plate! They were crispy and added an umami flavour to the broth.
As a Singapore Polytechnic alumnus, i have fond memories of my alma mater, especially the meals i had in the food courts! Back in my time 20 years ago, food court 3 is not known for any good food but i guess time has changed.
If you’re still feeling curious about the food here, I’d say get the Mixed Grill to be safe.
Popular Old School Western Food shifted to Magaret Drive.
Did we order the wrong thing? I guess it will be our first and the last time buying from this stall. If not we have to be very selective about what dishes we pick in the next round.
Was this plate of Fried Kway Teow worth every single calorie? Absolutely yes. I thoroughly enjoyed every single spoonful, and I can see myself coming back here for this. Definitely a spot worth checking out!
The you char kway and tau pok were nicely crispy and smoky, and the plate tasted refreshing with all the fruits – red apple, green apple, pineapple and guava. This was overall like Penang rojak, fresh, pungent and a bit sour with the shrimp paste.
My way to reminiscing some nostalgic Fish Ball Noodle Taste that reminds me of the childhood.
Charcoal Roasted Meat in an old school Coffeeshop
This was the familiar fishball noodles of my childhood from Margaret Drive. The mee pok had just the right texture – springy and elastic without being doughy, and coated nicely with the pork lard, sauce and chilli. The fishballs were smooth, and the meatball had a nice soft and springy texture and fish fragrance. It looks like the successor of the stall has finally mastered his skills.
