Believe it or not, these are noodles made from fish paste. Looks like mee pok, just as crunchy and yet it’s fish paste. This is the authentic Teochew fish paste noodles. Not many Teochew restaurants serve it. Really yummy.
The fishballs, fish dumplings and fish cakes here are all handmade by the owner of the stall which is rare as most of these stalls buy factory made ones. The mixture of the lard oil, lard bits and sauces just hit your nostrils as the bowl is placed near you. The noodles are well mixed, crunchy to bite and tasty. The fishballs are very well made and also crunchy to bite. The same goes to the fish dumplings and cakes. Prices range from $3-5 per bowl. Fish cakes are sold separately at $1.50 per piece. Try this stall if you near Havelock Road area. Really yummidelicious.
Really good yam and mochi mooncake fried on the spot by teppanyaki chef. Yummidelicious
A really surprising dish as my experience for ox tongue is not good. However this is tender and delicious. The chef grilled it till it’s crispy outside and yet soft and tender inside. Yummidelicious.
If you work around Hong Lim Food Centre you’d likely have eaten at or heard about Cantonese Delights. All its items like wanton mee, curry chicken mee, chicken chop mee and this Yong tau foo laksa are good. I like this in particular due the yummy taste and its value for money. For $4 you get a delicious bowl of laksa mee with 7 big pieces of yong tau foo. This lunch can last me till dinner without having tea break. 🤪
This porridge stall sells a variety of porridges but must ask if he has fish belly cos it’s not often it’s available. But the soft fish belly combined with the crunchy big intestines really enhances the dish. Stall closes on Monday hence Sunday is a very popular time. Go early. By the way it sells a very good bee hoon to go with the porridge
Sometime back I posted about the Armeniam Street Fried Kway Teow which is inside a food court tucked in the maze of HDB blocks (known as Anchorvale Court). The Anchorvale Food Court is part of block 303 which is a multi story car park. The chef, Ah Tan, serves a delicious plate of FKT which he learned to cook it right from his father who ran the same name stall in a coffee shop in Armenian Street. Almost every string of mee and kway teow is covered with egg which make it tasty to bite. There’s the juicy see hum (cockles), slices of fish cake and slices of quality Chinese sausage fried just right to complement the whole dish. Wok hee is good and the FTK is not too wet nor dry. What I love about it is that it’s not too sweet nor salty. The dish I had was $3 with a $1 worth of cockles. It’s really yummy delicious. Stall is closed every Thursdays. Opens from about 11 am till sold out before dinner.
If you’re around Havelock Road area and crave for an excellent fishball noodle try this. Just for $3 you’ll get a bowl of well cooked noodles with chilli sauce and vinegar (if you prefer). The fishballs are definitely handmade and is tasty and bounces as you bite. I added $1.50 for the deep fried fish cake and it’s just as good as the fish balls. No wonder he has a following from Toa Payoh where he was before here.
Excellent roast. Tender meat and slightly crispy skin. Love that this is part of a set and I was served chicken thigh. Usually I got just the breast.
Really service to the core. Clients choose own fruits (two types) and then they’re cut right in front of you. Fresh fruits freshly cut. Excellent service and yummy fruits.
This restaurant serves very authentic nasi Padang and has been around for the longest time. Every dish ordered is covered with different type of spicy gravy to suit the dish. Really a walk for me down memory lane as I was look forward to a treat by my father when this restaurant was situated at the present Rendezvous Hotel. Really yummy still.
An Indonesian styled chendol that full gula Melaka flavour, coconut milk and soft green chendol. The big kidney beans are a great complement.
