Worthy of his one precious meal for the day. Taking my cue from Vincent’s rule for recommendations, that’s when I sent a photo of our meal to several group chats on my phone.
If I am craving for a good Nasi Ayam, this will be one of my choice in Singapore.
We love the taste and texture of the marinated chicken meat.
Juwanda’s maternal grandparents were once mee rebus street hawkers, so his family really appreciates quality when they taste it. At Afandi Hawa and Family, their mee rebus is the real stuff, made from a good meaty stock thickened with sweet potatoes.
Nice soft noodles served with tender beancurd with crispy skin, bathed in a balanced and flavourful sauce, with some sweetness, fermented soy bean flavour, and apparently made with prawn, flower crab, mutton, turmeric and potato puree etc.
The Mee Soto is my personal favourite. A savoury Chicken broth best served piping hot - it gets too salty when cooled.
Julaiha Muslim Restaurant is an Indian-Muslim eatery located along Macpherson road. They are open 24/7 so this makes a good supper spot to go if you're nearby! They are located somewhat in the middle of Tai Seng and Macpherson MRT station.
The prata was fresh, unoily and carried with it a nice doughy fragrance, although it had only the faintest crisp. Nice, but I’m not sure that it is Food King Good.
I will be back for the prata and, of cause, the Indian rojak!
While my personal favourite will always be non-crispy prata, I have come to realise that contrary to popular belief, food authenticity is relative.
Overall, HJ Waliti HJ Mazuki is a good place to get your fix of Malay food.
If you are the Nasi Lemak fan, other than the Nasi Lemak Chicken’O, get the Nasi Lemak Rice ($5.50 – $5.90) paired with Curry Chicken (gravy or dry), Chicken Rendang, and of course the crispy Chicken Wing.
If you’ve got a bigger appetite, feel free to add more items to your nasi lemak. They’ve got a decent spread of affordably-priced fried items and vegetables. They also serve curry vegetables (sayur lodeh) if you prefer a wetter nasi lemak!
Alwadi at Geylang Serai is one of the best places to eat tasty Malay and Indian Muslim food; and also where you can get the famous Haig Road Putu Piring.
Such a good discovery and glad that they have an outlet here in the east! The other outlet is at Bukit Batok Street 31. Mediterranean Corner offers catering and wedding services too!
