Was thinking of having some decent breakfast and thought of the HK-style Chee Cheong Fun that I had the other day. Went back to try the Zha Liang and must say that it's rather cute how the order is executed; the stall doesn't sell dough fritters so they actually purchase them from the stall next door when someone orders them! Because these dough fritters are made as grab-and-go snacks they felt a little thick and floury when wrapped within the Chee Cheong Fun. But the Chee Cheong Fun itself felt silkier than the ones the other day; probably because I visited them in the morning this time instead of late afternoon. Not to mention how they are ever generous with the soy sauce that even restaurants are scrimping on these days.
The best Vegetarian Hor Fun i ever eat, loved the wok hei smell.
Remembering our childhood memory.
Traditional homemade kueh always the prefer. Either steam or pan fry version.
Today morning crave for pancake and a cup of kopi o kosong.
Odd and unevenly shaped fishballs pay testament to their handcrafted nature. None of them look exactly the same!

Tauhuey is my ultimate comfort food and I found the reason for this special love over this bowl of Chen Shun Mei Tauhuey (probably the most life-changing Tauhuey yet). My mum took a lot of Tauhuey when she was pregnant with me, hoping to give birth to a beautiful Snow White. In fact, her wish for me to be fair (as opposed to tanned) was so strong, she almost named me 'xue er', which means snow in Chinese and has a similar pronunciation to my English name, Sheryl. But alas, I ended up with quite a natural tan, nothing like the Snow White she had hoped for. Nevertheless, her intensive Tauhuey eating habits while I was still in her womb probably fortified Tauhuey's position as my ultimate comfort food even before I was born. To me, Chen Shun Mei Tauhuey is the king of all tauhueys. Aside from the interesting day where I discovered the reason for my love for tauheuys, I feel it boasts the best taste and texture. Velvety smooth soya beancurds drenched in pandan flavoured sugar syrup, this seemingly innocent Tauhuey is actually very addictive and my family just can't stop coming back for more. #hawkerpedia
I have been living in Haig Road all my life and this stall has been around since I was a little kid. My mom will buy this for me whenever I was sick. Till now, I still crave for it occasionally and I could easily get it since it's just below my block. This is my favourite childhood snack. From $1 for 3 pieces to $2 for 5 pieces, it's taste has never changed. The skin is thin and soft, while the generous amount of gula Melaka filling is gooey and not too sweet. The grated coconut is slightly salty to compliment the sweet taste, while the pandan leaves further enhance the fragrance. I hope this traditional Malay kueh will be passed on to the next generations.

Most people who come to sixth ave to eat noodles would go to the famous Jln Tua Kong BCM stall over at Good Good just opposite, but it is this humble fishball noodle from Sunny's that won my dad over. For years, he would come here with my mum for breakfast on Saturday mornings, while I enjoyed a good sleep in. As the years went by, where there was less time to spend with my parents, I began forcing myself to get up early on the weekend just to have breakfast here with them. It was our chance to catch up on what went on during the week, and to enjoy a simple meal and piping hot kopi together. I used to be so sleepy I'd just order prata from the stall beside, cos I didn't really want to think. But as I watched my dad tuck into these noodles with soooo much contentment week after week, I made sure to order this the next time I was there. Since then, I've been loyal to this bowl of bouncy fishballs, perfectly cooked noodles and the not-too-spicy-for-breakfast chili. These days, I still try to meet them here for a fishball noodle breakfast, cos it's not the same eating it without my dad and the Saturday morning light. #Hawkerpedia
My favourite BCM since young. I have been eating from this stall since I was young. It was always breakfast for the weekends! I rmb how my dad will bring me to the stall every weekend to queue for this. The stall has been passed down to the 3rd generation and surprisingly the taste has maintained. Fond memories of where I used to stay. This is to say, West side does have nice food!! This is the type which has no meatballs at all. It's super good when you add lots of black vinegar, and I love how sweet the soup is! One word: SHIOK 👍 even though I'm no longer staying in that area, I still travel back frequently for a good dose of BCM! 👍👌#Hawkerpedia #oldschool #eatingthisfor19years
My brother and I would often be the first two to wake up so as to catch our favourite cartoons on TV. (now we are the last to wake up 😂) All of us would then go to the nearest hawker centre in the neighbourhood to have our usual breakfast.
Breakfast would be a simple affair, my mum and dad usual order of Kopi-O while me and my brother would definitely be Milo-Bing! Most of the time, given our small appetite, my mum would order 2 soft boiled eggs for us. The soft boiled egg would come without the shells. It would be a normal routine for us to add the dark soya sauce and pepper, and chop the egg yolks and whites up! My mum would nag at us if we add too much soya sauce. (AIYO TOO SALTY!) Me and my brother would then compete who would finish the eggs first as we shove the plates to our mouth and drink the eggs as if water. As memories fade, I don't remember who actually won. But it's these small memories that you remember and not really the results. #hawkerpedia
