My Favorites❤️

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.

Growing up, I mostly only wandered around my neighborhood at Bukit Gombak. MacDonald's was not that ubiquitous back then, and to my family it was a luxury item. Being spendthrift, fast-food was never on the family menu. What I had instead was "orange bee hoon", or at least that's what I excitedly shouted to mum whenever I wanted something fast and filling. Needless to say, it was tasty for a kid to keep asking for it endlessly — putu mayam. Mum would buy it back, set the steamed vermicelli-like noodles on a metal plate, then sprinkle it with the snowiest coconut shavings and fairy dust orange sugar that never fails to give me that sugar rush thereafter. Yes, I may not know MacDonald's till secondary school, but happiness can come in many forms. Hawker fare and comfort food is one. Winning my mum's approval and her beautiful smile when she tosses my putu mayam up for the excited puppy by her side? That's happiness, bliss and something money cannot buy. My kind of happy meal, literally. #Hawkerpedia

Comes in 3 level of spicy sauce - mild, medium & suicide. The waitress actually sniggered when we ordered the mild one. But we certainly didn't regret it because it was some hot stuff. They don't serve plain water so you either get $2 bottled water or something on their drinks menu, think twice if you want to up the spiciness! The taste of cheese/ sour cream is really strong which is quite unique. Then comes the choking fiery sensation. Haha it's not that bad la, but my friend who can't really take spicy food gave up eating after one piece. The chicken meat itself felt a bit under seasoned but was super juicy!

👍👍👍

First in Singapore very nice 👍👍👍

Took me so long to finally do that last weekend - ordered the Caramel and Crackling Roast Pork Combination Donburi (S$9.80) from this tiny, hole-in-a-wall takeaway store at Great World City. The perfect #donburi combo, topped up S$1.50 for an onsen egg, paired with some pickled cucumber, and the oddly local-flavour "hae bee hiam" spicy dried shrimp. Really yummy! (although the rice was way too dry) 😝
