Different Kinds of Food
· Ah Bo Leng (Glutinous ball peanut soup) - One of the best compared to the one in old Ellenborough Market. It's situated on the second floor of Beach Road Hawker Center. It's got a "B" grade. By the way, our MOE now grades the hawker from A to D for cleanliness of their stall
· Teochew Street ak bo leng stall is now located at Kreta Ayer Market (Chinatown) 2nd floor.
· I've another recommendation for Ah Bo Leng. It is at BEACH ROAD, Golden Mile Hawker (2nd Floor). The stall has been there for the past decade. I believe the present seller is the 2nd / 3rd generation. Personally they are the best among the others.
· Readers might want to know about the good "Ah-Balling" (glutinous ball with peanut, seseame, red bean etc filling in pandan soup) that was at Ellenborough Market. The shop's name is Hai Seng and it has just moved to Chinatown Complex hawker centre (along Smith Street). The stall no is 02-90. It's still as good!!! Spread the word because I don't want the stall to close because people can't find it.
·
Clementi Ave 3 BLk 445 Coffeeshop
Great glutinous rice ball served piping hot. Very popular with the residents in Clementi.
The rice balls are supposed to be hand-made, and they come with 3 types of filling:
peanuts, red bean, and sesame. The soup is not the normal clear type; it's real yummy-
peanut soup with lots of soft yummy peanuts! Comes in servings of 4, 5 and 7. (5 is enough
to fill you up - the rice balls are LARGE!) Prices from $1.20 to $2. You can add yu-tiao
but somehow supplies usually run out. The stall is self-service so don't run away after
placing your order or the poor stallholder has to abandon his stall to deliver your food!
· Jalan Sultan Food Market, 2nd Storey. "Ah-Bo-Leng" served with sweet soft peanuts soup. 4 types of fillings are available - red bean, yam, sesame and peanuts. Prices ranges from $1.20 (for 4) to $2 (for 8). You can throw in a packet of you-tiao (Fried dough) for 30cents as well. Simply one of the best I have tasted. One can't find such peanuts soup anymore as it takes a whole day to stew the peanuts soft. Do hunt for it while you are there - it's a delicacy not to be missed!
· Check out the great Bah Kut Teh at Toa Payoh Lor 8 Hawker Centre . It has been there for 20 odd years and only opens after 6 pm daily. Try the side dishes as well , like the boiled peanuts, salted vegetables.
· Best Bak Kut Teh can be found at the Lakeview food centre, right at the end near the housing board shops.
· Circular Rd's Bak Kut Teh! In a quaint coffee shop, the road behind Boat Quay. The tenderest ribs, pig trotters, liver,kidney, There are many Bak Kut Teh but few are outstanding. This is one.
· Upper Serangoon Road - Just opposite Upper Serangoon Shopping Center there is a 24 hrs corner coffeeshop selling delicious traditional claypot "Bak Gut Teh" from 5 pm - 5 am. Try it now!
· Hill Street Hawker Center "Bah Kut Tey" - the best of the best ! Stall front is facing opposite the road. Go early if you can, later in the evening there will only limited choices. Order everything "extra" - except rice. Also try the combination of "uiew zha khay", "salted vegetable" as side dishes. Personnally i love the "internal organs soup with extra kidney"
· Try the one at Rangoon Road.... they dont have it at night... but one of their partners left and opened one for night busines, opposite. Jln Besar Stadium
·
Hua Kee Bah Kut Teh -
Whampoa market
Have you tried out the Bak Kut Teh stall at the Whampoa market? It's called Hua Kee Bak
Kut Teh, serves really great pork legs and the bak kut is really nice! With a price that
won't kill, it's worth giving it a try. It's open daily except on Mondays, from 9am to
around 9pm, sometimes there's either not enough of rice, or meats, so better be there
early!
·
Heng Heng Bah Kut Teh -
Owen Road
Of so many Bah Kut Teh, I think theirs is one of the best. Mainly due to the herbs they
used, one person can only have one serving of soup, no more, no less. Rather spicy and as
a warning, many of thos w ho are crazy over Bah Kut Teh, especially Ah Mohs and Japaneses,
they love it.
·
East Coast Hawker Center
There's a good Bak Ku Teh at East Coast Hawker Centre. They only sell until mid-noon. Tthe
soup is wonderful and the ribs are lean and meaty (from good cut). Their stewed pig's
trotters are as big as your knuckles! And they taste fabulous together with the sauce. The
stall also serve "mei chay" (very authentic). Go & try immediately!
· Ah Soon's New World Bakuteh in Tyrrwhitt Road opposite Jalan Besar Stadium.Opens from 7am till 10pm.
· Very nice, noodles are not too thick (in between the size of mee-po and mee-kia). Good sauce prepared specially by the hawker. It is only $3. Besides the ingredients,with the specially prepared chilli sauce and vinegar, it really makes my mouth waters. This stall can be found at the night-market at Toa Payoh Lorong 5. Have to wait for some time for the food but is really worth the wait cos' the noodles are REALLY GOOD!!!
· The Mince meat noodles in the food center in Marina Square(open air) is the best I've eaten. Expect to wait for around 30mins though. The price is quite expensive ($4,$5,and $6)...but the ingredients are quote plentiful. You can't miss it...its the only stall there with a long queue.
· Nothing beats the Bak Cho Mee stall in Paradize Food Court. The fantastic concoction of sambal chilli, sauce and vinegar is ultimate. Not to mention the exquisite taste of their tie-poh (dried flat fish) and their meat ball. Definitely the elite of bak cho mee.
· Everytime I go home, the first place my parents take me from the airport (even before going home) is this hawker center next to the Bedok police station (the big blue one). There's this Bah Cho Mee store there that's REALLY good...the soup is very spicy and shiok and the pork balls are to die for. It's open at very weird hours...like really early in the morning (about 5-10 am) and really late at night. (from about 8 or 9 pm to 3 am) NB there are two bah cho mee stores there...it's the one on the left. (more in the middle)...you can see them both from the road.
· There is this little known place called Trademart Singapore at Martin Road (off River Valley Road) which has a pretty 'cool' canteen. Clean, air-conditioned and good selection of food, with ample paid parking. The 'bak cho mee' here is one of the best I've tried. The fishball is fresh with lots of minced pork. Who knows, as a bonus, you may get to buy branded clothes at bargain prices if one of Trademart's tenants decides to have a sale at the function room.
· This isn't about the mee siam....but the ba cho mee at paradiz centre food court deserves mention here...
· There are different versions of Bah Cho Mee. The one I'd hihgly recommend for an authentic Teochew taste is a small unnoticeable stall at Toa Payoh Lorong 1 Hakwe Centre next to the Wet Market. It operates only in the evening. Unfortunately they don"t provide Tee-Poh (the dried fish). Otherwise it would be perfect. Price starts from S$2.00 (used to be S$ 1.50 some months ago)per bowl. Bring your table cloth and a bottle of Italian wine. Have fun !!!
· Sorry not about mee siam but how can anyone miss the famous High Street Centre Teow Chew Bak Cho Mee which has a branch over the Marina Centre Food Court ( the non airconed one ).
· There are different versions of Bah Cho Mee. The one I'd hihgly recommend for an authentic Teochew taste is a small unnoticeable stall at Toa Payoh Lorong 1 Hakwe Centre next to the Wet Market. It operates only in the evening. Unfortunately they don"t provide Tee-Poh (the dried fish). Otherwise it would be perfect. Price starts from S$2.00 (used to be S$ 1.50 some months ago)per bowl. Bring your table cloth and a bottle of Italian wine. Have fun !!!
· The best Bah Cho Mee/ Ruo cuo Mian I have eaten is at the West Coast Drive Hawker center. It is even better than the ones at Marina Square and Paradize Food Court which I have tried. The price is cheaper at $2 and $3. The $2 serving is more than what you can get anywhere. Most importantly, the superb preparation of ingredients such as sambal chilli, mushroom, mushroom sauce combined with vinegar and good quality key-poh (dried flat fish which taste much better) is simply unmatchable. One special mention is the minced pork is pre-prepared with other ingredient that somehow make it taste better. Please try it out yourself of the one of the last un-commercialize/ traditional Bah Cho Mee around.
· There's a stall on the 2nd floor of Kreta Ayer Food Market, sited side-facing Smith Street, selling good Teochew Bak Cho Mee. Comes in $2 and $3, with good servings of mince pork, different types of fish cakes, prawns, seaweed, dumplings and fried flat fish pieces! Love the chilli! Make a good lunch!!!
· I Strongly recommed the Nah Cho Mee at AV hawker at alexendra road. The man selling the noodles is a bit of limping. VERY nice.
· Chinatown Food Market, 2nd storey, wing facing Smith Street, last row. The store serves with purple bowls. Fantastic noodles! For $3, come with 3 prawns (not slices), several types of fish balls/sticks, dumplings and served with tung-ho (crysanthemum leaves). Chilli paste is heavenly too!
· Has anyone tried the bah cho mee in AMK central hawker centre??? it's called Hup Hup....real good man! and best of all....value for maoney too! the soup version is definitely better than the dry version!
· Pancake King at 228 Sims Ave(Corner of Lorong 23 Geylang) & Victoria Food Court - 50 years old recipe from Penang. No oil, vegetarian, healthy yet tasty!! Best of all, it gives unconditional "MONEY BACK GUARANTEE" on its food. The best peanut and red bean pancake (Ming Chiang Kueh) I can find in Singapore. Can contact them at 7474546 if you want to order in quantity. Besides, they also have very solid and sinful chocolate cake as well as other tasty cakes.
· Check it out the best ban jian kueh in town. It is situated at Punggol wet market - at the junction of Hougang Ave.7 & Tampines Road. It is reasonably price, service is good and if you eat on the stop - you would wants to queue to buy more!
· there's one great store in Clementi (at the coffee-shop facing the main road, behind the Clementi Theatre) known as 'Ah Gu's Ban Chiang Kueh' and you must try it!
· Specially for those chicken wings craving dude. Its located at Commonwealth Crescent Hawker Centre. I can't recall the stall name but its is facing the main car park. You will never miss its, just look out for the stall with longest Q everynight....Really everynite i am not joking....longest Q. Best fried chicken wings and cheapest fried mee hoon u can ever find in town!!!! So what u waiting for? Go down and check it out yourself!!! PS The stall open till about 2.00 am.
· I know this place at the Punngol Park Bicycle Kiosk Selling BBQ Chicken Wings, Satays, Dried Bean Curds and You Tiao. The Chicken Wings is very nice. Waiting time is about 30 mins
· The place is near the Clementi MRT (next to NTUC fairprice & clementi bookstore). The taste is great, especially with coleslaw that go with them :). They also have fried chicken that taste pretty good too. The price is good, at least student can pay :) (S$2.5 for chicken wing+rice and S$3.5 for 1/2 chicken+rice) The place is very crowded at lunch and dinner time. They open from 11 am until midnight or when their stock sold out. So for chicken lover, it's worth to try.
· I came across this really BBQ seafood stall at Bedok North Hawker centre. Think it should be Blk 85. The chilli is very addictive as I just can't seem to get enough of it. It's better to go on weekdays as I always have to wait for more than hlaf an hour on weekends. Note that there are 2 stalls there and the one in the middle is the better one.
· BBQ Stingray. I know this stall in Alexandra market directly opposite the Bukit Merah SAFRA. They sell the best BBQ stingray topped with the hottest mouth watering chilli. The stall is distinctively larger and unmissable, just look out for two combined stalls with young stallholders who wear thick gold chains and bracelets. Also remember to try their fried rice topped with a hor pao dan, before you start eating, remember to order \a large sugarcane juice. Now, that's what I call heavenly!
· Best Beef in town. As Beef freak, I recomend Kobe Beef of INAGIKU which has pedigree certificate of genuin Tajima Family. Definately best in Singapore and not to easy to taste in Japan. Sushi is good as well, Try Fatty Tuna. FishTopping is much bigger than other restaurant. AAA
·
-The best beef kway teow ,
Geylang Lorong 9
- Been there, salty, no big deal. Try the 24 hr bean curd resturant next door instead.
· For Cheapos!(or students lah), the NUS Arts' Canteen Beef Char Kway Teow is GOOD! Nice sauce, lots of beef (who cares whether they are from England or not!) and most importantly.....economical for "poor" students! Try it if you have the chance!
· Great Beef Hor Fun to be had on the corner of Lorong 9 and Geylang Road.
·
Sorry, this isn't about mee
siam, but I just had to add my views regarding Beef Kuay Teow braised with dark sauce (Xi
Zhap Ngow Hor).
I think the best one is NOT the coffee shop on the corner of Lorong 9 and Geylang Road, it
is the one directly opposite that has dim-sum as well.
Mmm, I can just taste the tender slices of beef (very generous) with the lovely, gooey
bean-based sauce. If you're extra hungry, order the dim sum - pretty good, too. Of course,
for dessert, cross the street to have soybean curd or drink.
· The best beef hor fun that I have eaten can be located at the coffee shop opposite Thomson Medical Centre (next to a petrol kiosk). The beef slices are tender and the gravy is yummy yummy delicious. Try it !
·
The Best Beef Kway Teow
Soup
Its the one at the East Coast Park Hawker Centre. It has lots of cow insides as
well(optional & doesn't have a "sang" smell) that is cooked to perfection
and the soup is sweet and rich (not cos' of MSG). REAL Beef Kway Teow Soup afficianadoes
will know that its really good when they see the kiam chye in it. The stall is on your
right as you come in from the carpark. Don't be deceived by the long queue at the Wan Tan
Mee stall next door. Its noodles are sticky, soggy and lumpy.The only thing its got going
for it is the char siew , which is only OK.
· The beef noodle stall located at East Coast Lagoon hawker centre is really fantastic. I think there is only soup available. There is a special ingredient in the soup which makes you thirst for more! There is only one beef noodle stall so I'm sure you won't miss it. You can notice its super long queue. Price is at $4/5. Self service and its closed on Sunday & Monday. Business starts from 6pm.
· See our hall of shame entry for East Coast Park Hawker Centre Beef Kway Teow!
· The one at Scotts Picnic food court. It comes with lots of Dao Gey and the soup is really tasty, If you r having the dry one the chilli is good if you have lots of lime in it.
·
Vera loves the
pepper crab at Ponggol which is now somewhere at East Coast.
- Yes very good. Go there often. You tend to overstuff yourself
· I have just found a coffee shop called Eng Seng Coffee Shop at the junction of Still Road and Joo Chiat Place which I believe serves one of the best Black-Pepper crabs in Singapore. The crabs are first selected by the customer and cooked till it is just right. Crabs are juicy and succulent. Very Shiok! Very fragrant! Must try.
·
The place i'm refering to
is at Ang Mo Kio St 61, a coffeeshop "zi cha" stall which serves up a hot, spicy
& delicious plate of "Black Pepper Crabs". The block where its located is
#635.
If you drive by St61, you'd be able to see the shop at the first bend you come along the
road. After the bend, turn on the first left turn into the carpark. If you come across the
hawker centre, then you've ventured too far.
Note: All garlic & black pepper lovers are in for a treat!!
· Our most favorite restaurant was the Golden Lagoon Restaurant off the East Coast Parkway. It is truly wonderful. I would fly back for this meal: pepper crab, mee goreng, deep fried grouper in sweet n' sour sauce and baby kailan in oyster sauce.
· See also Chilli Crab below.
·
It's rather marvellous. It's
in the Redhill hawker centre (opposite the Redhill wet market, across a small
"square"). They sometimes do wayang in the square. Approaching the hawker centre
from the bus-stop, walk along the square with the rows of hawker stalls on your right. The
stall is located in the second furthest row of hawker stalls. From the square, you'll turn
right into the aisle (where the tables and chairs are). There are two chai tao kuay stalls
in that row -- both on the same side of the eating area. The correct stall is the one you
come to first. There's an old lady, her son and his wife who run it. The son usually cooks
but (frankly) I prefer the old lady's cooking. She's very slow and careful but she really
ladles on the grease, the sweet dark soy and the garlic and chives etc. Mmmmmm. The son's
much more workmanlike about it. Catch old auntie on Sunday mornings when she's alone (the
son and wife appear to turn up a little later), for a good plate of black chai tow kuay.
You have to ask specifically for the black style or, alas (like most other Sinagpore
stalls) they'll give you the anaemic white version.
·
i think the best black
carrot cake is at lakeview hawker centre - the old couple only sell in the morning till
lunch. As for the white variety it's the Lau Goh stall at people's park. If I remember
correctly,it's called Good,Good carrot cake. At the Lakeview Market, there are 2 hawker
centers, one that is directly adjoining the market itself and facing the Lakeview HUDC
estate and another that is on the other side closer to Upper Thomson road. The chai tow
kway stall is at the food center next to Upper Thomson Road.
Just in case you don't know where Lakeview is, it's on the left hand side of Upp Thomson
Rd just after the Little Sisters of the Poor - after Macritchie Reservoir as you come from
town.
As for the white variety it's the Lau Goh stall at people's park.
·
The Carrot Cake store at
Kallang Basin Food Market, across the road from Victoria School is also great! You can
actually taste something , not like the other places where you get fried egg and nothing
else! The chilli is fantastic and the prawns that comes with the dish is actually
marinated! It does not taste like they are "fresh" out of the sea!
·
Homemade Carrot & Yam
Cakes - there's a very fantastic store at Chinatown Food Market! It's on the second floor,
facing Smith Street (where there is a KFC). Only opens at 5pm & closed at 7pm .You
have to be very patient, because everybody is buying lots of packets! Be smart, eat there
on the spot, it's faster! Very good homemade stuff, especially the yam cake. Rich servings
of fried shallets and spring onions to go along. And don't worry, it is definitely not
flour cakes! Do give it a try!
·
For the best carrot cake, go
to the hawker centre at 7 mile Upper Bukit Timah Rd, opposite the Post Office, the stall
is facing the carpark. Happy eating!
·
Also yummy...this carrot
cake stall at Tanglin Halt (10-storey) hawker centre run by a very courteous &
pleasant elderly. Generous toppings!
·
A coffeeshop at Blk 107 Ang
Mo Kio Ave 4 sells one of the best fried carrot cake. It is not only cheap but also
delicious. Crunchy on the outside,the interior of the carrot cake is soft and tasty. The
chilli is also very good. Try it! The owner still sells portions at $1.20! He is quite
generous and does not stinge on the eggs.
·
Located at Alexandra Village
(AV) hawker centre opposit Bukit Merah SAFRA. (previously at junction of River Valley Road
and Mohamed Sultan Road)
The carrot cake is fried to a golden brown with lots of egg, into palm sized
"omeletes". Pure perfection.
·
The BEST Fried Carrot Cake
aka Cai Tao Kway in Singapore is at Blk.125, Kim Tian Rd. This stall is run by a Teochew
old man below a block of flats.He is extremely generous with the eggs, you can have it
black or white, and a packet worth only $2 can really fill your stomach...you can reach
where he is by simply turning in to the small road opposite Tiong Bahru Plaza... go
straight all the way till you see a multi-storey carpark... then turn right [ do not enter
the multi-storey carpark though : ) ]... from there you'll see his stall directly opposite
the old one room flats block. Opening hours are 9pm to 11.30pm... Monday to Sunday... no
fixed off day.
·
There is this stall in
Mountbatten Food Centre where the carrot cake is simply superb. Hawker is an old man and
he uses paper plate.The $2 portion is ample and not very moist. Crispy and munchy .
·
The best carrot cake in town
is without doubt the one located at Toa Payoh Lor 1's hawker centre. Situated just next to
the neighbourhood wet market, customers flock the stall every morning for a taste of the
best. Pan-fried to golden crisp, the egg on top is a mouth-watering sight, but under the
crisp is the soft white fluffy cake...all this with a generous amount of fragrant
chye-poh. Heavenly!
·
"Ah Peh's" char
kway teow is really mirvellous.The stall is located at the coffee shop opposite the
Substation. Singapore style, ie sweet... just the right texture... a little expensive
though, because ah peh's portion isn't too generous. But the quality should more than make
up for it!
·
The Cha Kway Teow in Pasir
Panjang Park hawker centre is simply make the competitor 'green' with envy. Loaded with
vegetable on top of moist kway teow, the blend is just heavenly. And to make things
interesting..you have a choice of more cockles, more egg, more vegetables or more of
everything. A must try. Closed on Mondays and Sundays
·
Newton Circus 302 Chao Guo
Tiao Address: 64 Hill St, Hill St Food Centre #01-42. But will soon be shifted to
Serangoon Garden Wet Market, Stall No 1.
·
Holland Drive has a coffee
shop that serves up Penang-style char kuay teow. My colleagues and I frequently drive
there for lunch. Yum Yum. Its the best kuay teow outside Penang!
·
Corner stall next to the
Ngoh Hiong stall (which by the way has freshly made items everyday, and one of the best
selections around) Mouth watering Chaw Kway Teow with cockles and great chilli ($2, $3),
not the wet type, and not as sweet like the Outram variety. Run by this couple who do not
believe in late hours, so you can usually get their food fr 12:00pm till abt 7:00pm ++,
they like to go for long breaks too, so the kway teow addicts have to go without it
sometimes for a whole month!
·
The Char Kway Teow in Outram
Park is the best I ever tried in Singapore. For $2.00 a plate you can enjoy the best and
tastiest food in town.
I think it's Block 21. It's next to the multi-storey carpark, corner coffeeshop. You can't
miss it because it's always pack during lunch hour. Nine out of ten tables in the coffee
shops are waiting for their food. It's closed on Sundays.
It's real value for money, with lots of cockles and Chinese sausages. But be prepared to
wait for at least 20 mins.
·
I'm surprise the Char Kuay
Teow at Zion Rd hawker center is not featured. Well, this is one great stall that serve a
very tasty Char Kway Teow. The stall is next to the fruits drinks stall, you can't miss it
! Cheap and good !
·
Tanjong Pagar Market
·
Havelock Road, block 22. The
stall next to the chicken rice one serves great char kway teow, but only for those who are
not on a low cholesterol diet. Also great prices, - a substantial plateful for $2.
·
I simply love the char kway
teow at the hawker centre next to Parkway Parade, next to Toys R Us. It's called Apollo
Fresh Cockles Char Kway Teow; sells the best wet kway teow complete with fresh cockles,
not overdone-rubbery-cockles, one can actually request for those cockles in their original
bloody form. Won't miss it for the world.
·
Cha Kway Teow stall at the
coffee shop near the bus stop...not the Pasir Panjang Coffeeshop but the one opposite it..
Great taste and cheap prices!
·
Remember the famous Char
Kway Tiao stall at Newton Circus? Its the one that was in the old shophouse. They're now
at Serangoon Garden Market, stall #1. Do not get confused with 'Chomp-Chomp'.
·
The stall is situated in the
Coffesshop at Lavendar Street near the junction between Serangoon Road and Lavendar
Street. It is just a few shop houses away from the Wah Lim Yuan Coffeeshop. What is unique
about this fried kway teow is that a layer of specially prepared gravy is added to the
fried kway teow instead of the normal sweet black soya sauce used by in most stalls. Do
try it. Still taste as good as I what used to eat more than 20 years ago. Heard from my
parents that stall is in business since their childhood. Difficult nowadays to get such
stalls still using old recipe passed down from their earlier generation.I think the stall
is called "Seng Hing". Price is $4 per plate.
·
I am surprised the Char Kway
Teow at Maxwell Food Centre is not in the list. Its called River Valley Char Kway Teow and
has been featured in the papers a few times. It is one of the best I've ever tasted in all
my 50 yrs. The only comparable one is Apollo at Marine Parade Hawker Centre.
·
My favourite place would be
the Chee Cheong Fun at Macpherson 24hr coffeeshop.Check it out.
·
Dunman Road Hawker Centre, a
stall that sells excellent, freshly made Hong Kong style chee cheong fun. You can have it
plain or stuffed with the freshest prawns you have ever tasted or with delicious chicken
slices with braised mushrooms. Opening hours from 6pm only. When you reach there, you have
to take the stairs up the hawker centre,not down.
·
Albert Street Hawker Centre,
the row facing Bugis Village. The store's name is called "Jun Ji" - sells very
nice Chee Cheong Fun rolled with turnips and dried shrimps. Serve with slices of lettuce
and plenty of sesame seeds! Simply fantastic! Price is $1 for a roll.
·
there's a very good seafood
and "zi cha" chinese restaurant which has a lovely atmosphere overviewing a
swimming pool. It's near Chinese High School, if you are travelling along Bukit Timah Road
towards Jurong, after Chinese High, turn into the small road which would bring you to the
hostels. Enter the carpark which is near the tennis courts, and after parking, go up one
floor to the second storey, turn left, and that's it! The chilli crab is so fantastic,
it's full of roe, and lots of sweet meat! So is the butter crab!Cheap, too!
·
Farrer Park hawker centre
basement - "No Sign Board" crabs. Yes! That's the name of the stall ! . All your
favourite crab dishes viz Chilli Crab, Black Pepper etc. Specially selected Sri Lankan
crabs with plenty of roe or milt.
·
Thor Guan Seafood, BLK 164,
Tampines St 12, #01-301. Opens 4pm-11pm. This place serves the best chili crab in town. It
tastes spicy and it's very aromatic. Besides the chili crab, they have black pepper crab,
butter crab and salted crab too! The price is also reasonable, $26 - 28 per kg. If you're
not a crab lover, there's a lot of other dishes for you to choose from. To name a few, the
chicken dices with dried chili's sure to spice up your stomach, there's the sambal
crayfish, yi-pin gou and deep-fried baby squids, just to name a few. The place is not so
prominent, it's in a few blocks of HDB flats, just opposite Tampines Secondary School.
Just dropping in to recommend a dish that either you love or hate (well...depending on whether you are a chilli lover or not!!!) It's at Jalan Sultan Food Market and it is FANTASTIC! The store's name is Chong Zheng and it sells other dishes like prawn noodles. Do give it a try....BIG servings, FANTASTIC sambla chilli, good soup......MUST TRY!!!
·
Bedok Interchange Hawker
Centre. Mouth watering "zhui kueh" selling at reasonable rate four for $1.00
only and very delicious. Located beside a drink stall facing the Bus Interchange. Open
from 5.30 am till night.
·
Tiong Bahru Market ~ $1 for
4 ; Kit Chan's recommandation too!
·
The chwee kway stall at Ghim
Moh hawker centre sells very good chwee kway too! Got alot of people queue up during lunch
time.
·
Located at the back of Old
Airport Rd Wet Market , there is a stall specialises in selling Chwee Kway in the morning.
It is hot & soft. 7 peices for one dollar .Packed in styrofoam box for take away.
·
The best claypot chicken
rice is now in Orchard Emerald Foodcourt,(opposite sommerset MRT station). The special
sauce that make me always remember. The branches have already open bussiness in kopitiam
at new Plaza Singapura, never miss the good food next time you passby.
·
Check out the one at
Brickworks hawker centre (between Bukit Merah & Alexandra). Can't remember the name of
the stall but it is located at the corner nearest the entrance to the carpark. Tasty
chicken wings with sufficient 'lup cheong' and salted fish. And of couse, like all claypot
rice must have - 'burnt rice'! Scrape it right off the sides .
·
There is a good Claypot
Chicken Rice located at Block 115, Bukit Merah View.It is the best I have tried before,the
chicken is fresh and it is cooked the traditional way (with charcoal).The price is
reasonable and the only advice I can give is trying is believing.
·
There are 2 that i know of,
one in blanco court hawker center (at the 4th or 5th floor), they have fantastic seafood
soup there too, the other is at Maxwell Market. the market is one of those old hawker
center packed with truly delightful eats, and i recommend the claypot rice there .
·
I agree that one of the best
claypot rice is at Maxwell Market! -
·
My favourite eating place is
at parkway parade in makan parade basement It servers the best claypot rice in the east of
singapore. Almost every day i would go there just to eat his claypot rice. The claypot
rice is cooked specially because they use mirowave to cook it rather than using the gas.
The claypot rice dish i like the most is the oyster chicken claypot. At first i thought
the claypot had oyster but actually it was only the sauce. Everytime i go there during
lunch time it is sure to be crowed with people,so to get the best claypot in the east of
singapore go to parkway parade now.
·
Best noodles and claypot -
The stall has located in Orchard Emerald Food Court ( Tung Seng Delights). The popular
foods are popiah, mini pot noodles and claypot noodles and rice. The taste is very good.
The best crayfish hor fun is found at level 2 of Hong Lim market. The sauce is unique unlike those that taste like each other in the food courts. The stall only opens for lunch because business is really that good! The stall has appeared on the paper before and besides crayfish hor fun, they have prawn-shredded chicken hor fun or crayfish-prawn hor fun. The best is the $5 crayfish hor fun - 3 halves of crayfish. yum
·
Jalan Sultan Food Market -
2nd storey at Wing facing Golden Mile Complex. The store is called "Yong Ji" or
Eng Kee. Very traditional Crystal Balls. Come in 3 types of fillings - Turnip &
Shrimps, Yam & Red Bean. My recommendation is the yam variety though all 3 are nice.
Skin is clear and thin and fillings are plenty. Once you have tried it, all those factory
made ones taste like sawdust with those brownish THICK skins. Price is 50cents for Turnip
& Red Bean fillings while it will cost 70cents for the yam fillings.
·
The best are found at the
Tiong Bahru food centre where the popular chwee kway is. The chwee cheng pao skin is thin
and the filling tasty. Both the salty n sweet varieties are superb.
·
Great curry at the curry
store beside the Bedok Interchange. Called NaNa Curry, it serves great curry chicken,
vegetables, mutton and curry fish head. All prices at $3 per bowl of curry and 30 cents
for rice and 50 cents for bread. Service is really prompt and that is what impressed me.
So far, all my friends that i brought there said that the curry there is wonderful, the
right taste and spicy enough to make you want more. So check it out at NaNa curry beside
Bedok interchange at the NTUC coffeeshop.
·
There was a reader that
recommended NaNa Curry as one of the best curry in Singapore. I absolutely agree but wish
to point out that NaNa Curry has several outlets in Singapore and the central one is in
Amara Shopping Centre's food court on the 4th Floor. They not only sell curry chicken, but
they have curry vegetables, curry pork ribs & curry fish head. They included curry
fish bits on their menu last year. Happy eating!
·
Fook Hai Hawker Centre This
is my favourite hawker stall in Singapore without a doubt! The gravy is fantastic, while
the chicken is of that found in Hainanese Chicken rice. (same large quantities as well). A
real classic!!!!
·
Champion of curry chicken
noodles is at Ang Mo Kio central( behind polyclinic) in coffee shop. the curry there is
the best I ever tasted and they also serve great dumpling there! The curry is real curry
and not laska.
Address: Yi He Yuan Noodles, Hiap Hwa Coffee Shop of Blk 722, Ang Mo Kio Central. Quite
near to the S-11 Coffee Shop.
·
Champion of Curry Chicken
Noodles is in Coffee Shop of Blk 722, Ang Mo Kio Central. The same stall also serve best
Laksa I ever tasted. Must try!!!!!!! -
· I feel that the currypuff at West Coast Blk 710 is still the best I've ever eaten.Now they even have the prawn,sardine flavour in addition to the curry chicken flavour.
·
TOP TOP Curry Puffs! Simply
the BEST curry puffs I've tried. At 70 cents each. BETTER THAN OLD CHANG KEE or SELERA !!!
Blk 722 Ang Mo Kio Centre ( next to Jubilee Cinema ) Open from 9.30am to 9.30pm.
· NUS Arts Canteen, one of the Malay stalls. They sell the best curry puff in town.
· Old Chang Kee curry puffs are really good. There're several outlets around Singapore .
·
Tip Top Curry Puff - This
place sells the best curry puff you can find in Singapore. The crust is heavenly and the
filling will leave a lasting taste. You can forget about the yukky Old Chang Kee. Once you
tasted the curry puff from Tip Top, you wouldn't want any others.
Place :- Coffee Shop at Blk 722 Ang Mo Kio Central. (Beside the construction site at the
former Jubilee Theater)
Price :- $0.70 a piece
· The best curry puff ? Try the stall at Farrer Road food centre. Simply the best !! Best value for money. Be there early-it sells out fast !
· Must try Selera Restarant on the corner of Mackenzie road and Niven Road (Just off Selegie Road). It's a once a week meal for me. They have the best chicken curry puffs in Singapore and also do great chicken rice and beef Kuay Teow .
The curry rice stall at Maxwell food centre.
- Best fried cuttlefish is at the Lagun Sari at 76 Peck Seah St. Also good fried tofu stuffed with seafood, fishhead curry and satay.
· "cuttle-fish kangkong" at Long House Eating Place at Lavender Road I must tell you this is the best cuttle-fish kangkong I ever eat.You should try it .It's finger licking good.
· I still find that the Cuttle Fish Kang Kong at Bedok Central Food Centre the best. Stall name "YE LAI XIANG". and the Cheng Teng is the best in town with lots of ingredients and very tasty and very cooling too.
· you just know that the food tastes different when you take a look at the way the dishes are presented. the ingredients are not mixed together or buried in a dark sauce or a gluey mess. the dishes always look neatly presented and the ingredients look their natural colours. they are not huge servings so you get the chance to savour other fabulous dishes, which this place has a lot of. their presentation being only a bonus, these dishes will taste better than anything you find in the best cze char/taiwan porridge place you can think of. the name of the shop is not dificult to remember, it's called simply "the old place". but remember it's in owen road. otherwise you may end up in one of many places, some not even remotely associated with food. my fav dishes include cold bean curd with century eggs, any omelette, kangkong and cuttlefish(one of the best served anywhere in singapore), thai chicken (devilishly tangy and surprisingly juicy), jiu-je chai with pig's liver (until maybe half a year ago, it used to be the even better jiu-je chai with pig's intestines), spare ribs with bitter gourd, fried long beans. the dishes are very reasonably prices at $5-$8 enough for 2 or 3 persons to sample. opens only after 5 p.m. daily( i think they close 1 day of the week). if it's not raining, the outdoor dining opportunity offered by this shop is very attractive.
·
Best chinese 'zhi char'
place in bukit timah! - Definately among the best 'zhi char' place is this place called
'Yong Chye Chicken Rice' (along Coronation Road and opposite Shell station, off Bukit
Timah Road).
As the name suggests, it serves chicken rice during lunch time. This place just started
serving 'zhi char' in the evening from 6-9pm. I am really difficult to please, and I think
this place is the best!
Everyone of my dinners there is satisfying, both to the tastebuds and wallet.
Hey, don't take my word for it, go try it for yourself!
· One of the most popular, if not the most popular makan place in Tiong Bahru is the 'Cze-Char' shop called 'Sin Hoi Sai' along Tiong Bahru Rd (left side) just before the 'bird corner'. Exact location — behind the bus-stop along Tiong Bahru Rd, between Tiong Poh and Seng Poh Roads. Great dishes there include yam in claypot, frogs leg in chicken essence, deep fried chicken marinated in prawn sauce, fried Hokkien mee (the dark version). Dine in clean open-air location with quick, friendly service.
· Sin Hoi San coffee shop along East Coast Road (opp Holy Family Catholic Church) offers good 'zi cha' and seafood. Fried rice, fried bee hoon, pepper crabs, and sweet and sour pork - not bad! Lots of other exotic delicacies too, such as hot plate tofu (recommended) and 'choot choot' - a conical shaped shell where one is supposed to suck out the slug inside - quite disgusting but not bad if you are starving. Also serves hot chrysenthemum tea.

u guys got to try out this
store i came across at maxwell market. The dynamic dual is a couple namely shirley &
simon... The store features some of the home cooked khek & cantonese dishes like
"ha jiong chicken", red dates chickens & not forgeting their specialities:-
black pepper crab which is much far better than the long beach or even some Crab dishes
houses.. Shirley the store owner told us that their crab is immersed in black pepper sauce
not to drown the crab but letting it absord the pepper fragrance into the meat & can
be available any time of the season except that one has to make advanced booking for this
particular dish.. one thing to take note that 14, 15 &16 of every month this dish is
not available due to that is full moon for crab mating season & the meat is little.
Not forgetting alos those who like the "gao" - yellowish eggs within the crabs,
this store features the most creamy yellow eggs i have seen so far & is lot tasty.
Ox tail stew cooked in italian style is another specialty which is rare in hawker centres,
bright orange stew sauces with soft tender meat from the tail portion is definitely finger
licking- I personnally drank up the remaining of the stew each time i patronize the store.
Others like the hong kong kai lan in fish slice is as fresh as u can get. Their black
sauce beef ho fun & fried rice is good too, especially the fried rice , u don't see
oil left over on the plate's surface.
Last but not the least, the store featuress no msg added, fresh ingredients(really fresh),
warm & welcoming conversation from the owner won the eating heart of my friends &
I. Their store is situated at the front entrance of the maxwell market, the signboard is
red color(the only one i think),operating hours is from 6.00pm to 4.30am( the boss-simon
has given a tip that the best time to eat in is at 8.30pm when other stores starts to
close shop & is less smokey & cooler so improves appetitte (is true i try it out
myself). The contact is 92000609, maxwell market -SONG FONG YUEN, boss is simon & wife
who it the PR is shirley. Before i end here, nearly forgot shirley also make very good
pine tarts & curry chicken that the sauce is sticky & yummy, that's all for now
& hope this will bring new eating place for people out there.
· Previously ,this Cze Char Stall located at the coffeshop besides RUBY (now the newly built balestier point ) cinema and shifted to the current location at BLK 82 , Whambo Drive , beside the whambo CC five years ago.I have been scouted them sinced they move out until recently chanced upon MOSES Lim recommendations in the i-weekly.This is a traditional cantonese style Cze Char stall, and their serving is generous. Recommended dish are Hor Fun , Clayport fish and others.$22.50 can buy u a Clayport fish , Hor fun and a fried mixed vegetables and the serving is enough for four.Best value for money and good taste.
· This stall No.8 is at Rochor Centre Block 1(Mui Siong Coffee Shop) sell the best Duck Soup (shi quan tang) at the price of only $2/........ and the duck rice (with brown rice-vegetable rice) and also the rib mutton soup. Best in town. Must Try!
· Duck Rice anybody??? There's a reasonable stall at the food centre across World Trade Centre. It's the only store there that sells duck rice. It came with white rice topped with dark sauce....the way I like it. I simply loaved those stores that had soggy "sauce-infested" rice. It also came with slices of duck (not broken chunks), and fantastic chilli!!! Serves good duck porridge in the morning too!! Not exactly heavenly, but certainly a cut above the rest!
· The best duck rice that I've ever tried is the one at Tampines Mall's Foodcourt, name of stall is Mr Bagus. The duck meat is especially tender & juicy, unlike the tough & stiff ones that are commonly found. The tantalizing sauce compliments the fragrance rice and the finely cooked porridge (which is my personal favourite). The duck noodle is also very popular!
·
I recently check out this
new place in Keong Saik Road, called Tai Gu Lai (means biggest sister or something) serves
one of the best custard eggs tarts in town, and try their baked pastry with sweet ginger
and century egg...a must of century egg lovers! They also serve excellent steam rice, and
double broiled soups. Keong Saik Road is also quite an interesting street..considering its
colorful past! I can't remember the unit number, but it is next to one of those boutique
hotels.
Just me with my two grains worth of comments.
·
Just outside Erskine Rd.
Shop's name is Tong Heng. Makes traditional chinese pastry. Most famous for the egg tarts.
Better than St Honore. People usually stop their cars outside while wives and children
run-in to order take-aways. Egg tarts run out really fast this way but they replenish it
really fast too. Pastry is very flaky and very good. Sticks to your teeth as it should :)
A fantastic cholesterol filled tart :)
For those guys getting married and you really want to impress your fiancee's relatives,
you can order the pastries for delivery rather than deliver those
icky-yucky-too-much-cream cakes that are from neighbourhood confectionaries.
In this shop, you can also 'eat-in' by ordering the pastries you want and some drink. I
advise you to skip the drink and get some peanut cream dessert or seseme seed cream
dessert.
· Tong Heng is good but may be a little too sweet for some pple.You can find good egg tarts at Teck Kee Pao(at Newton and Killiney). Its a different variety. pastry is not the flaky type, n the egg custard is not so sweet like Tong Heng's.Sell out fast
·
Singapore Telecoms food
court (Somerset Road)
Those from Bizad faculty's (slightly more) glorious days will remember this
husband-and-wife team from the canteen. The wife will take your orders and shout very
loudly to the husband cooking in the background. Yumsest fish-and-chips, chicken chop and
pepper steak! Even students from faraway faculties like Science will travel the long and
tortuous way to eat the food!!
I'm not familar with the prices but I'm sure they've been "upwardly adjusted" to
take into account rental. I think the fish & chips cost $3+. The queues are super-long
so be warned!!
· Have'ya heard of the GillHouse Blues Fish and Chips and Ginger garlic chicken chop?????...fresh Dory Fish Fillet topped with secret recipe......for abt $12 with fries and beans....5/5 stars tender chicken chop with plenty of ginger and garlic...and a dash of high grade Scott whisky too...5/5 stars All at Roomful of Blues at 443 MacPherson Rd beside the Great Eastern BP station.
·
Wah Lim Yuan Coffeeshop, 310
Lavender Street (located at the junction between Lavendar Street and Kempas Road)
There are many fishball noodles stall in Singapore. But this one is my favourite. I have
patronised the stall since my childhood. Cooked in the traditional Teochew style, the
dried "mee piok" is good. It gives the right proportion of black vinegar,
"zhe cu" to give the dried "mee piok" simply the right taste. Texture
of cooked mee piok is just nice. Not soggy at all. Price is also reasonable with $2 for a
small bowl and $3 for a big bowl.
·
Serangoon Rd Teochew Fish
Head
When it's a cold rainning day , automatically me and my husband will go to have our dinner
there because of the hot tasty soup .Waiting time is at least one hour . So we ask for
plain rice first if really can not tahan .Poor thing right ?
· My favourite stall is at Changi point Hawker Centre. its locate at the last 'lane' that closer to the park and to the shop houses. The soup is really sweet and the fish is fresh. Bee Hoon used is also different but taste good.
· Damenlou restaurant at AnnSiang Hill has good Fish Head Soup/bee hoon. Modertate prices....@$10 for two persons. Its on the Ground Floor of a boutique hotel. Nice "Sang Yu" Fish slices. Ask for "yu pin yu kai" soup, u'll get boiled fish slices as well as lightly fried fish chunks(without flour/batter) Its very good and not too oily. They serve dishes like Bittergourd in Black Bean Sauce with Pork Ribs too) Fu gua pai guat in Cantonese). All in all pretty good food as reasonable prices and the soup isn't oily. Enjoy!
· Recommendation for the stall at "S11" Kopi Tiam in Ang Mo Kio Central, near the Bus Interchange, just beside the Jubilee Cineplex, which sells Fish Head/Meat Bee Hoon. The soup is sumptious with lots of taste & 'oomph!', the bee hoon cooked to perfection... Yum Yum Yum...:)
· Coffeeshop on the ground floor of Block 808, French Road. This stall located inside the coffeeshop called 'Tai Sun Eating House' is the last stall, facing the drinks stall. The fish head is deep-fried and the soup is thick and tasty, with traces of wine. You may also have the plain, clear fish soup to go with rice. But to make sure you get to try the fish-head beehoon, go early at lunch time as this is a popular item. There is a multi-storey carpark next to the block but it's usually packed. Try parking at the carpark outside Lavendar MRT Station if you can't find a space.
· Bamboo Jade Snack Shop, located at Unit No. B1-66, Golden Mile Tower (next to Golden Mile Complex where 'mini-Thailand' is). Though this is a new item on their menu, it's doing very well indeed. Again, the fish-head is deep-fried with thick soup and lots of vegetables. The shop also sells Chinese dishes with rice and other daily specials which are quite good.
· Bukit Timah Hawker Centre. There is a stall which sells Great fish and fish head bee hoon,fish porridge,fish soup,both fresh and fried fish.$3.00, per bowl ,n, $3.50 taking away and $0.30 for rice.The stall number is 188
· the most delicious , yummmmy & tasty fishhead noodles ever existed . Available in a really big , fat & generous serving at " nancy foodstall " in the coffeeshop beside parkway parade cinema . For $3--5 ( not at all pricey if you consider the amount of ingredients served ) , a big round bowl of crunchy & transparent noooodles topped with lotsa crispy & gigantic ikan bilis , not forgetting to mention the big portion of real fleshy and fragrant- smelling , freshly - fried tender fish meat / head will be all yours !!!. Soup ' s pretty nice and not at all oily , perfect for a wonderful but low -caloried meal . Almost always sold out by 7 p.m , so those of you who ' re drooling right now better hurry !
·
Boiled Fish head been hoon
Try Hong Kong Street Chun Kee at Commonwealth Crescent. Supposed to be one of the best. Be
prepared to wait for at least half an hour unless you are in time for the current batch.
Opens from 5 pm.
· Just about one of the best I've eaten for a long while in the one at Block 46 Food Centre at Holland Drive. For a $5 bowl (smallest), you will have a hard time finishing. The "sang yee" is fresh but is not the fried variety. You know why some other stalls fry them? To hide the fishness of less fresh "sang yee". The soup is full flavoured without the help of "bee cheng". You will know its good by the crowds there. Be prepared to wait at least 30 mins during weekends. Also try the fried "hor fun" with "tow gay" and big and thick slices of "sang yee". Its a dream!
· Excellent curry fishead can be found at the coffee shop on Geylang Lorong 35. The stall's name is Ocean Curry. I suspect it is one of several franchises ( however this is the best ) serving "economic rice". The curry fishhead is always served boiling hot in a claypot. The curry gravy is heavenly with a slight "assam" taste that whets anyone's appetite. The curry fishhead comes with generous servings of lady's fingers, brinjal, tomatoes, pineapple slices. The sad thing is that it only opens for lunch. Have fun eating!
·
Clementi West St 2 - Coffee
Shop at Blk 722
The Malay stall serves superb fish head curry alongside with other Malay fares. Fish Head
curry quite different from those of Mutu's, in that less Indian spices are used. Instead
it gives a distinct flavour quite similar to that of Thai's. Definitely must try!
· Banana Leaf Apollo or Muthu at Serangoon Road
· Try the fish head curry at Marina South next to the Marina South SPA. Its open in the day time especially during lunch hour. The curry is spicy and hot...shiok.
·
I got an entry for the BEST
Fishhead Curry. It's this little restaurant called Nutmeg & Curry in JOM (Junior
Officers' Mess) in Ladyhill Road. Walao, their curry gravy major shiok,man! So spicy and
tasty, I literally drink'em up!! You can also ask for a generous helping of brinjal and
other veggie!!!MUST TRY ONE!!!!
Yup, the Junior Officers' Mess is open to public! And I have the restaurant number on hand
now, might as well give it to you : 734 3113 !
·
Would gladly like to
introduce The Specialty Dish Of This Stall located at Bedok North Ave 4, New Century
Eating House. Just the thought of the Curry Fish Head from this stall, Robinson, makes my
mouth watered. It's simply marvellous !! For those who loves spicy stuff, this is
definitely a stall not to be missed. On top of this unique home recipe delicacy, Robinson,
which is also a Mixed Vegetable Rice Stall, serves its customers with a great variety of
choices that goes with the rice. Some of these include its fried chicken pieces, curry
vegetables, chicken in prawn sauce, fried sotong, sweet and sour fish........ and the list
goes on and on.......
The operating hours of this stall starts from 10 am to 2pm. For those still scratching
their head off on deciding where to go for Lunch, this is the place that is indeed worth
the try. You will not regret it.
· I think one of the best fish soup is in China Square ! Very tasty ! But you have to wait a long time just to get a bowl ! But its worth the wait !
· Two great places for Fish Meat soup with Rice. one at Taman Jurong No.1 Market near DBS Bank Taman Jurong and the other one at Brickworks Market Blk 1, their seafood soup is also fantastic.
· Serve good Chinese fish soup, different varieties, at Victoria Square Restaurant, Great World City.
·
Lee Do Restaurant, Blk 11,
Kempas Rd, off Bendemeer Road
Sells traditional Foochow dishes. Must try the:
1) Foo Chow Fish Balls Soup
2) Foo Chow "Yan-Pi" Soup
These are soups with so much character and taste of course!
3) Chicken in Red Wine Lees with Spring Onions (Chicken "smouldered" with a
thick fermented glutinous rice paste - got lots of OOOMPH!!!)
Reputed to be the best in Singapore!
· Foo Chow Fish Ball Noodles - ... A VERY RARE delicacy these days, the store is sited in a coffeeshop along Beach Road, across the road from The Concourse. Can't missed it....cos the sign is BIG! Good food....not like the other type of fish ball noodle you can find all over Singapore....Foo Chow Fish Balls have meat in the middle! They also serve Foo Chow "Won Ton" - VERY SUPERB! The noodles came with a rich dose of sesame oil (fragrant!), and for those who are conscious of being fat, my advice is: WHAT THE HECK!!! They serve it with green chilli too! Very packed around lunch time so be warned!
· the best frog legs in claypot must be at Geylang Lorong 9 coffeeshop. spicy & very yummy!!
· The fruit juice stall at the market (Sembawang Hill hawker center) in between the mobil station and the SPC station at upper thomson road (near Singapore Institute of Management- the old thomson secondary school campus). The stall is right at the end. Although it's a hawker stall but it serves the "cut-up" food in a decorative position! (no other hawker will ever do that!!) and the fruit juice that it serves is simply really fresh, especially the grape juice!!!
· The soursop juice at the foodcenter outside Botanical Garden is great!! there are several stalls, I'm afraid I don't remember which.
- Mooi Chin Restaurant, Basement, Funan Centre
Extremely good food, a whole list of Hainanese dishes to choose from. Try these:
1) Sambal Promfret
2) Soya Sauce Chicken
3) Hainanese Pork Chop
4) Hainanese Herbal Mutton Soup
· I just want to recommend one of the best fried hokkien mee i 've ever tried which is located at the coffee shop at Serangoon North Ave 1, Blk No ? Sorry ,I forgot ! But it is near the road side. Won't miss that coffee shop if you turn in from Ang Mo Kio Ave 3 to Serangoon North Ave 1.Also the chicken wing stall owned by a china man at the corner is very good too .My son and myself like it very much .We use to go there to have our dinner .If you happened to pass by there , must try or else regret. Good food must share with all !
· The best Fried Hokkien Mee I ever taken in Singapore is from the Bukit Timah hawker centre at the junction of Jalan Jurong Kechil and Bukit Timah road. The hawker centre is located on the second level( on top of the market)
The stall is named Kian Seng Fried Hokkien Mee at stall no 151. It opens from 6.00pm to around 1 am.
The Hokkien mee is superb, not too dry or too wet and the sambal chilli is shiok!!!!
Undoubtedly, it has to be the best Fried Hokkien Mee in town. - Go and try it!
· There is a wonderful fried hokkien mee in Clementi Interchange hawker centre called NAN JI. THe hokkien mee is just simply heavenly . JUst cannot tahan lah.
· I would like to recommend another Hokkien Mee stall at the corner coffeeshop of Lor 29/Changi Road. It's got some old charm. Try it!
· the best hokkien mee I've ever tasted is from the hawker centre in Toa Payoh Lorong 1,which is beside the wet market.The noodles are fried just to the right texture,just moist enough and full of the 'WOK' flavour which I like.Even if the noodles are eaten after an hour,it's still delicious,with the flavour still locked in.
Here's a stall that has been selling Fried Hokkien Sotong Mee and Satay since my kindergarten days (when my mom ordered the satays for my birthday party then). It's at hawker centre just next to SAFRA (Bt Merah); just behind the new IKEA. I think the stall's name is YI SHENG and it's really quite busy usually, so it isn't too difficult to spot. And it's only open in the evening. It used to sell at a hawker centre next to a cinema at Kim Tian Place (the hawker centre and cinema is long gone already - it's now Central Green Condominium) if anyone who used to live near Tiong Bahru could remember.
- Coffee Shop at Corner of Geylang Lorong 29 - Great Fried Hokkien Soton Mee, Since '60 till now, you can't find any stall in Singapore have such standard Soton Mee, get try out yourself. Only start from 6p.m. sometime closed on sunday.
·
The cafe on Level 1 in Merchant
Court Hotel serves the best Hor Fun in town, in my opinion. I don't remember the actual
name of the cafe, but you can't miss it. Its on Level 1. Other items on the menu which are
good include the claypot rice and lamb chops.
·
The yummiest HOR FUN ever is at a
little Chinese zhi-char called THE CHARCOAL GRILL along Cheong Chin Nam road opposite
Beauty World Shopping Centre. The sauce is so delicious that you'll scrape your plate
clean and the hot noodles seep in the flavour well.They serve it with lots of sotong,
prawns and other ingredients. $5 enough for two people! Oh yeah- try their FANTASTIC
SHUI-JIAO soup too! Huge crunchy prawns and black-fungus in every big shui
- Maxwell Food Market
One stall which deserves mentioning is the "Hum-chim-pen" stall. For many many years, the price has remained at 10 cents each. The thrill is you have to fry the dough yourselves and patiently wait in the queue for your turn. Partons buy in tens and hundreds, believe it or not ! Choice of sweet and saltish dough are both available. Very different from the usual thick and big "hum-chim-pen" available elsewhere. Open everyday after 1pm.
- One of my friends
swears by the banana leaf curries at Apollo Hotel. The Indian food at the Hawker Center at
Adam Road is good.
- the new woodlands
restaurant has got to be the yummiest and is also great value too! so good is the food
that you will always see a good mix of all races eating there during dinner. as for
myself, i go at least once a week. location is upper dickson road off serangoon road. my
personal favorite is the rice set meal, but other dishes are also worth a try.

Uncle Tony's Kebab (OTK) - Scotts food
court
Heard from those who've eated real kebabs that the kebabs sold here are "mini-sized", but no harm trying. Can choose various meat (chicken, mutton etc) with fillings (cheese, pineapple, mushrooms) and add your choice of sauce. The helpful staff will be more than willing to help you make your choice. The fries are big fat crispy goody too. Price not exactly cheap (at least $6) for a small pita-rolled kebab, but taste is fantastic. The food is halal too, I think.
·
Thousand apologies to all the
health concious, but the stall at the end of Bedok Central food centre (nearest the
entrance to MRT station) serves marvedelicious kway chap that has not only the tastiest,
cleanest and odourless pig entrails but also the smoothest and softest kway chap! Happy
gourging.
·
the quay chap stall at pasir
panjang road in a old-type kind coffee shop sells very nice quay chap. the pig trotters
are cooked in thick dark soya sauce, the cook Mr Tay even provides bitter gourd, doutua,
doukee, fishcake, egg, salted vegetable for people who don't take intestine. HE and his
wife have been there for 10years and price charged are reasonable. i think they are closed
on sunday and monday, operating only for breakfast and lunch. by the way, the intestine,
pig stomach are cleaned thoroughly, smell-free, must try.
·
At Suntec City food court, there is
one Thai Kway Chup stall. The intestine, tau pau and tau gua are very delicious..the kway
chap hot and smooth. Quite expensive though..Oh yes, the chili is good!
·
Laksa / Curry Yong Tau Foo
There is a stall at Loyang Point
shopping centre called Wang Wang Laksa at the food court serving laksa/Yong Tau foo. The
curry is thick and not too hot unlike some others - which make it great for those trying
to break in the children into hot food. If you want it hotter, be sure to ask for the
specially blended chilly which is simply heavenly. I could slurp up this chilly concoction
neat. MUST TRY!
·
Other than the above suggestions, I
would like to share with you the best Laksa I have tried. The little coffee house in Ghim
Moh, there is a stall called Peranakan Food, which is next to Yu Yi Roast Meat. The Laksa
there is fantastic. The gravy is superb, the portion is generous, they serve it with
chichen, prawns and fish cake, and NO Cockle. So you don't have to worry about hepatitis.
On top of everything else, the stall is clean and the service is very good.
·
There is a great laksa store in
Centrepoint on the fifth floor (Marketplace Food Court) which sells laksa at $4.50 with
prawns and big cockles.Very delicious gravy.$5.50 for laksa with clayfish.
·
I consider his place local 'cos its
so near S'pore. Just drive along the coastal road after JB custom and about 3 to 4 KM you
will see a sign that reads "Straights View Hotel". Turn into this road and when
you reach a T-junction turn left. You will see a Mosque after about 500 metre and the
Laksa stall is about another couple of hundred metres. You have to park alongside the
road. Opens only in the afternoon. Closed on Wednesdays I think. This is by far the best
Laska I have had.

No mention of ROXY Laksa ?? Very
lemak and comes in $3/$4/$5 portions. Definitely one of the better ones I have tasted. The
stall is in the East Coast Food Centre facing the sea. Wonderfully relaxing eating Laksa
and enjoying the sea breeze. Just right to finish up with a refreshing ice jelly from the
dessert store next to it. Enjoy !
- The Laksa there is the worst that
I've tasted. It taste more like diluted curry than authentic Laksa soup. They serve only
coarse beehoon & no other choice of noodles, & also no cockles just 3 prawns &
a few miserable slices of fish cake. They have the cheek to charge $4 a bowl. It was bad
recommendation in the "best" column.
- I have not tasted Roxy laksa myself,
so I cannot attest to its quality, but I am surprised that Phil Wong considers cockles to
be "authentic". Speaking as a Nonya, laksa lemak doesn't contain shredded
chicken, tau pok or cockles. But it should have bean sprouts, prawns, finely sliced
fishcake, grated cucumber, daun kesom (shredded laksa leaf) and finely sliced bunga
kantan. And it is always made with coarse beehoon.
·
There is is stall in Ang Mo Kio at
the Hawker Centre next to Broadway Cinema selling Laksa. I have been eating their laksa
quite often and its simply one of the best I have eaten. The stall is situated at the
other corner of the hawker stall near the Teleshop side. The stall is operated by a middle
aged couple. The wife does all the cooking and the husband do the rest. The stall also
sells other kinds of mee and kwa Teow too. Most important of all, their cockles are fresh.

Best Laksa, Kopi Tiam at Westin
Stamford. Its Signature dish, very shiok, with its large prawns and overspilling
ingredients.....value for money too, large bowl .
· Claypot Laksa at it's best! - There is this coffee shop at Blk 107 Depot Road, with a stall that has a Yellow Signboard, that serves fantastic Claypot Laksa at $2.50. Yummy thick and pipping hot gravy with cockles and chicken slices (and if you opt for no cockles, the cook with give you prawns). Bought my friends, collegues and auntie there and they just loved it! Stall opens every day (Mon to Sun but only for the Lunch crowd). This is a MUST try!
p.s. The owner also makes very good
Kai-si (Chicken sliced) Mee at $1.50 .
·
I've tried all the laksa stalls
you've listed as the best. I still think you've missed out the absolute best!! The stall
at "Jiu Shan Coffeeshop", stall name "Katong Laksa (& carrtot cake),
junction of Telok Kurau and Changi Road serves laksa that beats everybody else. It is so
good that everything is normally sold out by 2 pm.
·
Best Nonya Laksa, Lion City
Coffeehouse at Lion City Hotel near Paya Lebar mrt station. Very shiok, with bean sprouts,
prawns, finely sliced fishcake, grated cucumber, daun kesom (shredded laksa leaf) and
finely sliced bunga kantan. The gravy is superb, and it is always made with coarse
beehoon.
·
The laksa at East Coast Road
junction of Ceylon Road is the best I have tasted. Abit expensive, per bowl $3.00/.
Operating hour morning to before 5.00 pm.
·
Just tasted the laksa at Stall No
23 - Redhill Laksa but name is in Chinese. So good I had two bowls. One of those cheap and
good stalls. Stall opened only about two months ago. Opening hours is 10am to about 8 pm,
closed on Tuesdays.
Law ah (Teochew soya braised duck)
·
Newton Food Centre. This is a very
special preparation of 'teochew lor' duck which is deep fried.
I was served with this dish by mistake
which the owner say it was supposed to be for the Japanese customer. The sizzling hot and
deep fried lor duck was very crispy on the outside and tender inside. It topped with the
'lor' gravy which reminds the teochew's flavour. The stall was just facing the car park.
The owner serve this special by specific request only. It cost about S$35.00 each much
better than any 'peking' duck I have experienced.
·
Just discovered a new found stall
that stews succulent and tasty "Lor" ducks It's actually the newly re-opened
FAMOUS Garden Street Kway Chap stall that was formerly from Blanco Court. Now relocated at
Blk 209 Hougang St21 Hawker Center #01-02 This was actually an undiscovered talent of the
old TouKay... Since the "Pig Crisis", he was out of his usual Kway Chap business
for 3 weeks before he started selling "Lor" Ducks!!! Though few of his faithful
patrons knew about this, he's now got many new faithful patrons for his "Lor"
Ducks!!! While I was in the queue, I saw people "DaBao" (take-way) in half and
whole-birds!!! I usually will visit the Serangoon Gardens stall for "Lor" Ducks,
but now, I'll have to change from that.
·
Are you a "Lor Ah"
lover?? Or if you are disappointed with the duck rice you usually eat? Then you should not
miss the famous "Lor Ah" stall located at Hill Street Hawker Centre #02-16
(beside the Central Fire Station). Well, if you are not sure which stall it is, look for
the duck rice stall with the longest queue during lunch time everyday. This stall had
served delicious "Lor Ah" and geese, prepare with a secret receipe, for more
than 30 years. Although this stall operates between 10 am to 4pm (daily except Tuesday),
be sure that you are there early, before the ducks run out.
·
Telok Blangah Crescent Market (and
very cheap too!!) Have not tasted any better. Very friendly , very popular yet never have
to wait long!! don't forget to ask for the garlic sauce. They stopped for a while because
the daughter got married and there's no one to help out. But returned because everyone
misses them so much

China
St. hawker centre 2nd.Floor.
·
There's a good lor-mee store at
Kandang Kerbau Market (facing the fruit stores). The owner is an old lady. Very good
lor-mee; gets your money worth with $2. Real Fried Fish pieces, fish cakes, and pieces
with meat garnish the noodles. Quite unlike the other stores where they serve it with
wu-xiang and some unknown fried stuffs. It's only open in the morning, and not for
everyday of the week. Must give it a try though!!!
·
Very good lor mee at Maxwell Food
Centre, the one at MND Building, not the old one. Second stall at the first row as you
come up the stairs from the carpark. They are one of the few hawkers left who actually are
NOT stingy with their red cut chilli and have them in bowls on the table. It's only open
for late breakfast till lunch. Reasonably priced at $3 a bowl. Absolutely must try, can
forget about all other lor mee.
·
Best of the best! Have you try the
Lor Mee :- with mixture of lor -mee soup and prawn-mee soup together ? The tastes is
really super fantastic !!! And you can even request to put either Lor-mee ingredients or
Prawn mee ingredients , or a mixture of both. The price is $2.00, and I always can
finished 2 bowls at one time.You really must try it. Address :- Blk 4,Taman Ho Swee.
·
The best kept secret in town! I've
had Lor Mee from this stall since I was a kid and still feel that it is the best ever. Go
to Telok Blangah Crescent market, next to Radin Mas Community Centre, and you will find
the stall at this market/hawker centre. Each bowl costs $1.50 or $2.00 only and you can
ask for the full works! It faces the carpark and opens everyday but only up to 11 am
(that's when they're sold out).
·
I would like to introduce to all
the best of the best LOR MEE in Singapore and not simply just lor and mee, the lor
sparkles like diamonds just like the traditional shark fin soup. It taste like no other
lor you have ever tasted. The smell of the lor will awake anyone from sleepiness in
morning. The ingredients are very justified considering the amount of money paid for. It
includes all the ingredients you will find in other lor mee and there is a special crispy
fried stuff which is very tasty that i always buy another packet of that as my snack
during break time.
Actually none of my words can describe
the HEAVENLY taste of it. You really got to taste for yourself to appreciate these
delicacy. It is most surprising that the man running the stall is a young man which
demonstrates his excellent cooking skills when the queue of patrons start growing during
the peak hours.
The price is very reasonable and
economical: $2 /$3 The important information is it is located at Telok Blangah Drive, Blk
80, Sin Hin Coffeeshop. Business Hours : 5:30am - 2pm sharp.
·
Funan food court serve great lemon
chicken. Very nice.
·
My favourite lemon chicken is @
Clementi, a chap chai food stall at the coffee shop beside Clementi centreal KFC. Very
crispy and tasty, especially when it is hot!
n
Lontong - Good place for lontong is this stall
at Block 40A Margaret Drive (opposite the Polyclinic, facing the car park, 3rd stall from
the road.) The gravy is thick, tasty, with generous servings of vegetables. The chilli is
great too. Portions are slightly about average size, guaranteed to satisfy most hungry
people. This stall, run by a pleasant lady, also sells 'mee siam' which is equally
delicious. The stall is opened for breakfast and lunch.
n
Meat ball Noodles - Yes!!!! We all know about
the famous "Meat ball Noodle" Stall at Bedok North. But do you all know how to
pick the correct stall without fail ??? The trick is to pick the stall that only serve
"Meat Ball Noodle" with soup only, this stall does not serve it dry, believe me,
I had my share of experiences during my "clubing" days.
Should you have a craving for "Dry
Meat Ball Noodle" that is good & cheap. I suggest you "tah bao" the
noodle home & add your own sauces (be creative & adventurous, lah!
·
Mee Hoon Kway is gaining popularity
in the last few years in Singapore. The noodles come in different forms: mee hoon kway,
mee pok and ban mee. If you have not tasted this before and would like to try one of the
best in Singapore, try this "Chiew Lian" (not sure if the spelling is correct)
which has various outlets in Singapore (Lorong Ah Soo, Bishan, Changi Airport etc). The
one which I am very familiar with is at Lorong Ah Soo where the 24 hours food centre is
located. I am a Mee Hoon Kway fanatic and so far, this is the best I have ever tasted!
Opens everday and closes at 10pm.
·
I'm a big fan of the Mee Hoon Kuay
stall at Jurong Point foodcourt. The stall charges $3 for a reasonable bowl of ban mian
with generous sprinklings of ikan bilis and meat. The soup is especially tasty and is not
too salty . A must- try if you are there!
·
Whampoa food centre, next to the
wet market.It's between 2 drinks stall and closed on mondays.Usually sells out by 1pm.
·
When you feel the need for a real
tasty bowl of Mee Pok, then you could do worse than try the stall called 1-3-2(corrected),
I think it is the one at the corner coffe shop [Tua Yew Soy] of Jalan Tua Kong and East
Coast Road. Like all good things you have to be prepared to wait about 30 mins when they
are busy. They tend not to be open on public holidays and Tuesdays. If you cannot wait so
long you may wish to try the one in the makan place opposite the Siglap Centre, well just
behind it actually. I think it is run by an ex-employee of 1-3-2, a little inferior in
taste to the original - see above, but you get it quicker. Happy eating!
·
I think the mee pok there is
overstated - certainly not worth waiting 45 minutes! I'd rather go to the coffee shop next
to siglap centre for the mee pok there.
·
The Mee Pok U had mentioned (Tua
Yew Soy Coffeeshop), is the best mee pok that I had eaten. Although U have to wait
(sometime) for maybe half an hour, but I think it is worth the wait. And by the way,the
oringinal store is 132 and not 321.And as a bonus to all food lovers, actually they have
two store operating. One at Jalan Tua Kong and anothera at Kembangan Housing estate. Don't
miss it!!! Happy eating.
·
132 Fishball noodle at Kembangan
Housing Estate has the best mee pok in east coast of Singapore, if not the best in
Singapore! Whats so good about it is that you will find this simple dish has not much
drawbacks unlike other mee pok that tends to be a tad too dry, too wet, chilli paste not
spicy enough, etc. Simply put, 132 Mee Pok tastes like what a mee pok should taste like!!!
The secret to its no-complaint status lies in the freshness of its mee pok as well as the
all important chilli paste! Chilli paste so delicious and spicy that there are regulars
who will "ta bao" only the chilli paste back home !!! So if you are in the
neighbourhood, I would strongly recommend 132 Mee Pok for its mouth-watering noodle as
well as the impeccable service from its staff!
- I know a place that sells tasty and spicy Mee Siam. It's at West Coast Hawker center just opposite Ginza Plaza. There 's only one stall selling Mee Siam there, so it's not too difficult to find. A definite must try!!!!
-The new food-court at Shaw Towers, Beach Road. There is a stall selling mee siam, laksa, pop piah, nasi lemak. The mee-siam is good, at a rate very reasonable rate of $3.00. Very nice and tasty.
- I do hear a lot of friends mentioned about a mee siam store at Changi Airport but I have not try it yet.
-Try out Mrs. Gin's Corner in Ginza Plaza, West Coast Rd. Her little shop is right outside the back door of Prime Supermarket (B1). She doesn't cook up a storm. Only three items on her menu (at least the last time I was there): Mee Siam, Laksa and roast chicken. Price is cheap too: $2
Try the teochew stall at Shaw Towers (food alley , the one at Beach Road).
Place : Opposite Botanic Garden Food Centre (We does'nt know the name )
Stall No : 3rd or 4th stall down from the car park staircase
Food : MEE SIAM ( Indian Rice Vermicelle with peanuts gravy )
Price : Very Cheap & Reasonable
Taste : Very Good
