The best hokkien mee i've had to date. The noodles are fried till fragrant (full of 'wok hei') and soaked with the delicious broth. The chilli is gives the whole dish a kick to the next level of shiok!!!
Hands down, one of the best hawker centres in Singapore. Even tourists are brought here by the bus loads. Try the lor mee, prawn mee, minced pork noodles, char kway teow and chee cheong fun stalls.
First time trying this stall. Not a fan of "black" (sweet sauce) style carrot cake, but their's really quite nice. Have "wok mei" (鍋味）
So many stalls with "no pork no lard" here. Uncle said he uses lard for this, thus I decided to order from this stall. My 7th egg for the day. Love this hawker centre, shall plan a day trip here soon!
Trust the perpetual snaking queue at Xin Mei Xiang; a favourite among many. The rich, intense prawn-based gravy is just viscous enough to pleasantly coat the noodles without being cloying - add black vinegar to bring it to another level. The noodles are topped with the standard braised pork, ngoh hiang, egg and beansprouts, they also include fried snapper flakes that lend a great texture. The key here is patience, you'll get to the front of the queue eventually.

Good things come to those who wait. Especially when it comes to Old Airport Road's Toa Payoh Rojak. With more than 40 years of experience, they've mastered the art of making excellent rojak. The uncle attentively grills the yu char kueh to a crisp over charcoal, ensuring that you don't get soft, soggy pieces in your rojak. The combination of condiments is almost perfect, and the prawn paste they use is the star. Rojak is one of those dishes that you don't get bored of eating, because of the contrasting textures and flavours you get (sweet, sour, spicy, salty) with each bite.

Unit 01-98, Whitley Road Big Prawn Noodle. Got the $5 for medium-sized prawns. And this was amazing! From the fresh, succulent prawn to the rich, thick broth. If only they served my bowl with soup to the brim, instead of a half-filled bowl of soup.
A night of Lao Fu Zi Char Kway Tiao, Handmade Chee Cheong Fun and Toa Payoh Rojak. Too full to even move. Enough to feed 3.
Cost: approx $10
Every time I go to OAR Market I have the preliminary intention of eating something new, but this always, always gets in the way! I just can't resist not ordering it, slurps
Really tasty except that it's expensive. Nevertheless it's worth it if you really appreciate good old fashion Hokkien Mee.
This is from my dad's stall. Located at 51 Old Airport Road Food Center. Unit no. 138! My dad starting following my grandpa to do CKT since he was 12 years old. Many of the customers claims that my dad's is like a cross breed of Singapore CKT and Penang CKT. So don't expect to have too much dark sauce in it. My dad uses fresh prawns and squids which he goes to the wet market early in the morning to choose all of it himself! He also makes sure that supplier gives the freshest and big cockles. He also cooks the pork lard from scratch! $3 and you have abundance of ingredients in there! Fish cake, Chinese sausage, Chinese chive, beansprout, cockles, prawns and squid. Opens daily from 8am-1.30pm.
Stall name is Western Barbeque. All sets served with fries, baked beans, cucumbers, tomatoes and butter bread! Chicken chop is dope! They uses 1 entire chicken leg for 1 serving! Very juicy! They are know for their garlic sauce! But garlic sauce comes with pork chop only. But regulars like me will always request it on whatever we order! You can even top up with a sunny side egg! Cheap and good! $5.50! They have another outlet at Bedok.
