Dai Dong Prawn Noodle – Best Prawn Mee Soup For Me!

By Alfred February 23, 2010

I was on a mission to hunt for Big Prawn Mee stalls outside of the Jalan Besar/Beach Road vicinity lately and am glad to report that I managed to find a few on the northern part of Singapore which will be reviewed in the next few posts. Now I'm feeling very good lately as far my hae mee fix is concerned because I've finally found one hae mee that is worth a rave, finally!!!! Let's face it - Prawn ...

Hui Ji Fish Ball Noodle, Yong Tau Fu – Seriously Shiok, Authentic & Cheap!

By Alfred February 4, 2010

The beautiful thing about commercialisation of our local hawker food businesses, is that we appreciate the old school stalls(really authentic kind) even more. Nowadays, we have to travel quite a distance to a particular stall to experience a particular authentic taste. I mean after all the travelling hassle(bitter), the sweetness becomes more sweet and the shiokness becomes more shiok, right? It has a greater perceived value(seen as gold!) due to it's scarcity, otherwise if they are all over the place ...

Swee Heng Wanton Noodle – The $133,000 Wanton Mee Stall

By Alfred February 2, 2010

For the Wanton Mee lovers who frequent Chomp Chomp at Serangoon Gardens, I am sure you would have eaten at Swee Heng Wanton Noodle which is hiding in one of the corners of the food centre. I am a suaku here because I have never taken interest in food at those stalls at that little corner. However, recently I was told that Swee Heng Wanton Noodle is one of the 'Die Die Must Queue' stalls in Chomp Chomp so here ...

Jia Xiang Sliced Fish Soup & Noodles – If You Love Seafood As Much As Your Bak Chor Mee

By Alfred February 1, 2010

Jack of all trades kind of hawker stalls are becoming a common phenomenon nowadays. If you want to find stalls that sell just 1 item in food centres, that might equate to you trying to find a needle in a haystack. It is actually quite sad to see how out of sync those 'Master Of 1 Food' type of stalls are with the rest of those japalang stalls in markets nowadays. You see, food businesses are becoming very competitive ...

Yong Huat – Possibly The Only Place You Get Tik Poh In Your Prawn Noodles!

By Alfred January 27, 2010

There are so many big prawn noodles stalls that aim to produce a bowl of mind-blowing hae mee with king prawns but do you think ingredients like sliced fish cakes and sliced pork should be discarded in that process? After eating so many big prawn noodles recently, I am missing a bit of the sliced fish cakes and sliced pork. I mean no doubt we want a hearty bowl of hae mee that can triumph in shiokness but the basic ...

Lam’s Prawn Noodles – If You Relish A Proper Old School Prawn Soup!

By Alfred January 25, 2010

No where in Singapore has more Big Prawn Noodle stalls than at Jalan Besar area. Around that area, it is like, every few streets, you will come across one stall and they all are positioned strategically from the Beach Road to North Bridge Road to Jalan Besar Road to Race Course Road to as north as Cambridge Road. All in all, there must have, at the very least, 10 stalls no less. To the prawn noodles aficionado, I guess they know ...

Thiam Seng Seafood – At Last You Don’t Need To Spend $10 For A Shiok Hor Fun!

By Alfred January 18, 2010

The best hor fun for me was done without the use of eggs and with that delightful wok hei from the charred hor fun permeating through the gravy. Now it's true that some hor fun with eggs thrown in can still taste fractionally shiok but yet most of the time, that 'eggy' flavor can be a little 'disturbing' because it masked away all those essential shiok flavors like the wok hei(if any) or flavours of any other ingredients like ...

Crystal Jade Kitchen – Finally Found An Authentic Salt & Pepper Spare Rib!

By Alfred January 14, 2010

Every time I have a Cantonese meal, I would remember the days when I was abroad. In foreign land, the food that you grew up eating can be hard to come by and one would naturally look for the closest thing to flavours one missed the most and for me, Cantonese food come the closest. Unfortunately, when I came back, I realised that authentic Hong Kong flavors are something one will be really hard-pressed to find in Singapore. Apparently, the ...

Lam’s Abalone Soup – The Ultimate Bowl Of Mee Pok Tah!

By Alfred January 10, 2010

Have you ever wondered what does it take to create a bowl of mee pok tah that is second to none? I must confess that the vigorous attempt by Ah Guan Mee Pok Pte Ltd quite wow me with their $7 bowl which has ingredients like scallops and crayfish but the shiokness there somehow didn't quite hit the potential for me because boiled seafoods are not shiok enough. So what can come to the rescue? Lam’s Abalone Soup is ...

Beach Road Prawn Noodle House – Hands Up Those Who Know Why The Crowd Is Strong

By Alfred January 8, 2010

I don't remember seeing any Big Prawn Noodles stall in Malaysia, instead there must have, at the very least, several dozens of it in Singapore, so do you think that makes Big Prawn Mee an authentically Singaporean food? Ironically, Big Prawn Mee is rampant around Jalan Besar, Beach Road area. Further north a little, you can see a few others like Wah Kee at Farrer Road, and Hoe Nam at Bendemeer. I guess it ain't rocket science that ...

Lee Kwang Kee Seafood – They’ve Got Something That Other’s Don’t

By Alfred January 6, 2010

For seafood lovers like me looking for a seafood lunch in a hawker centre, it is not easy. Next time you are in a hawker centre, try walking around looking for seafood for lunch and you'll know what I mean. You can get some stir fried fish(chap chai peng stall), fish soup, fish N chips or some strange Japanese fish meal randomly but if you wish for more like good sotongs, prawns or shellfish to facilitate your cravings, ...

Long Phung – Cheap, Authentic Vietnamese Food At Joo Chiat!

By Alfred December 29, 2009

Everyone knows that Chicken rice and Chilli Crab are Singapore's national dishes but do you know what is Vietnamese's national dish? Vietnamese Pho Noodle (image via) For the uninitiated, Pho aka beef noodle soup is widely regarded by Vietnamese as their national food and it has been around for more than 100 years. Pho(pronounced as 'phir') is actually a fusion food between the Chinese and the French with the flavour of ...

Tai Shek Hei House of Traditional Bamboo Noodles – Retro Bamboo Pressed Noodles

By Alfred December 26, 2009

If you asked me where was the best noodles I have had in Singapore, I will say it was at Crystal Jade. Distinctly like what you can get from any wanton mee stall in Hong Kong, it got that little springy, chewy yet slippery texture with that translucent look that can be so delirious to slurp. I am not sure here, but I'm guessing that Crystal Jade's noodles could be due to the handmade outcome or perhaps the effect of ...

Yan Kee Noodle House – Ikan Bilis To Go With Your Mee Pok Tah

By Alfred December 24, 2009

Fishball noodles and bak chor mee(teochew version) are getting scandalously similar nowadays. You get the same kind of chilli sauce, vinegar, same noodles choice, minced pork, fishcakes, porkballs. The only thing that separates the 2 is the fishballs. I think if there are two local foods that have a high possibility of been coalesced into one very soon, then this 2 would be it. Alas even the soup of these 2 noodles are tasting very similar. I wonder ...

Ren Ren Big Prawn Noodles – If You Enjoy Prawns More Than Soup!

By Alfred December 21, 2009

If you love prawn noodles, you may very well have eaten big prawn noodles, the type that not only gives you big prawns, but with soup that are distinctly more flavoursome. It also usually has thick beehoon as a choice. Given it's popularity and many stalls with sub-branches around the island, I must say that I am one helluva sua ku, having only eaten recently at stalls like Wah Kee, Hoe Nam and Whitley Road Prawn Noodles. ...

Lian Kee Braised Duck Rice – If Thick, Gooey Gravy Is Your Kind Of Bliss

By Alfred December 19, 2009

Usually I'd try as far as possible to keep braised duck away from my meals because I can't understand what's the great deal about chewing on a piece of duck meat(which is hard usually) smelled of soya sauce. The braised duck skin which is a piece of elastic soya flavored fat is something I also don't know how to appreciate. I mean roasted duck skin is more tasty anytime right? So where or when does a plate of soya duck ...

By Alfred December 16, 2009

Nowadays contemporary styles' coffeeshop is a common sight and it is just unfortunate that the taste of foods sold in these eateries are also as contemporary as their appearances. Inevitably, we became more appreciative towards coffeeshops that look like they were caught in a time warp because naturally, it is at these old school eateries where we can still find foods that are really authentic.

Hua Kee Hougang Famous Wan Ton Mee – Chilli Good, Wanton Shiok!

By Alfred December 15, 2009

Singapore is just a little island but there are so many types of wanton mee as opposed to the entire Malaysia where you can only find one type which is the one that comes with some black soy sauce. Don't you find that an irony? Interestingly there are chilli in so many Malaysian's foods but when it comes to Wanton Mee, it must be eaten without chilli as what my Malaysian friends said 'must savor the original flavour'. But to ...

Noodles of Fei Fei Wanton Mee The first time I ate Fei fei Wanton Mee was when I was in secondary one.

Ah Guan Mee Pok Pte Ltd – Scallops Or Crayfish To Go With Your Mee Pok Tah!

People in different countries don't greet people the same way. It range from the simple universal "Hello!" to American's 'Howdy?" to British's "What's up?" to Aussie's "Good day!" to Singaporeans' "Jiak Pa Buay?"(Eat already or not?!). Singaporeans are so passionate about their food that the first thing they want to know about their friends is whether they have eaten their meals, but have you wondered why are we so passionate about food? There have been many discussions about this and ...
