Hawker Favourites ✨

Geylang Lor 9 is a chain restaurant, well known in Singapore for their fresh frog porridges (田鸡) where they serve them in piping hot clay pots. It's located in an air-conditioned shop lot so it doesn't counter too much with the blazing heat of our local weather.

Their specialty dishes are Kung Pao (fried chilli) and Kiong Chong (ginger and scallion) style porridge, but I'm personally not a big fan of spicy food so I tried their plain frog porridge. It tastes rather similar to chicken except that they have a more sweet, delicate and smoother texture which I thoroughly enjoyed. However, a bowl for two people will cost you RM26 and it would be more value for money if they were to be more generous with their serving of frog meat as compared to the amount of porridge given.

If you’ve ever been to Sarawak (specifically Kuching, like myself), then you’ve probably tried Kolo mee; If you haven't, then you’re probably keen to have a bowl.

Situated inside Restoran Hock Thai, a hawker stall in SS2 that serves a variety of cuisine, lies in it a gem for authentic outland Sarawakian noodles. From the texture and colour of the noodles, to the rightful addition of onion shallots, red char siew and minced pork (I opted for extra vegetables - RM1), there is an art form to these noodles that few outside the eastern Malaysian city have managed to conquer and Aubrey’s Kolo Mee Stall is one of those fews. For a small fee of RM6, you are now able to have a tasteful trip to the east and it is definitely worth a try (plus you’ll save a load on plane tickets!).
