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.
While freshly prepared Yong Tau Fu Stalls like this are getting lesser nowadays, I would say that they are unique and definitely, I will like to be back for such simple yet stomach satisfying meal.
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.
To be fair, great expectations came greater disappointment. The satay wasn't bad; I would have placed them as above average, albeit not exceptional.
The satay was tender and fatty with some charring and a mild sweet flavour from the good marination. Quite nice.
If you think about it, each component of the dish is very simple and common yet when you put them together, it becomes something unique which you cannot find elsewhere.

If you're a food enthusiast exploring the vibrant culinary landscape of Chinatown Complex, there's a gem you won't want to miss – Chef Leung's Authentic Hand-milled Rice Noodle Rolls (梁师傅肠粉).
The unusually rippled chee cheong fun was silky but had some heft and mouth feel, with some bite. It appears that the ripples are characteristic of Hong Kong style chee cheong fun. The soy sauce was lightly savoury and fragrant, and the peanut sesame sauce added some peanut butter-like richness to the whole thing. Really nice.
Very traditional braised duck, fairly tender and slightly thick and bitey, with a nice slightly layered sweet-savoury non-herbal braise from an old braising sauce or 老卤. The tau kwa was tasty too. Nice.
From my observations, Run Ji Cooked Food does not have much footfall. The queue is usually not more than three persons deep. It does not even have much media presence. I wonder why?
When I first discover this stall, it was in the early morning but I did not order anything as I already had something else for breakfast. It was not until a few days later, I was nearby in the evenings. As I still have not taken my dinner, I decided to try my luck to see if the stall is still open and to my delight, it is!
Whoa, the curry at this hawker stall (335 Smith Street #02-051) is awesome, particularly in that it's both spicy and gritty, with a good dose of anise in there, if I tasted it correctly.
Yong Ze Delights, offering a good range of traditional chinese snacks in the hawker center.
New Market Seafood Soup totally changed my mind about fish soups. My only gripe is that my seafood soup came with only three tiny slices of fish which could hardly satiate my crave for sliced fish.
The texture of the cheong fun feels silky soft like two layers melded together. I do wish it is a little springier though with some bite.
We are back at Chinatown Complex Market & Food Center for Meal. I was introduced to this relatively new stall that sell Lor Mee and decided to give it a try.
Do not forget about their umami chili. Add a dollop to the chwee kueh with chye poh for more satisfaction!
Chinatown Food Centre is a treasure trove of culinary delights, offering a myriad of renowned stalls that cater to food enthusiasts from all walks of life. Among the notable stalls, Chang Le Chee Cheong Fun 尝乐猪肠粉 stands out as a hidden gem that's certainly worth exploring.
The pork is tender and nicely seasoned with the flavors of the salted fish. The saltiness is well balanced without being too salty.
手工制作。甜度适中,不粘牙,脆而爽口。有着相当好的空气感。
For a plate of delicious Kway Teow, the price paid is over here is pocket friendly.
I am not a fan of fried peanuts so I am glad there is just a negligible amount of it on my plate. Although the portion of the ikan bilis is not a lot as well, there is just enough to last the entire meal.
The highlight for me is their crispy deep-fried intestines whose umami flavor, upon the grind of my molars, is released and fills up my entire oral cavity.
An elderly couple runs this stall and offers affordable traditional Cantonese dishes. If you are seated extremely close to their stall, they will be able to serve your food to your table; otherwise, self-service is available.
