East Coast Lagoon Food Village

Oops smelled so good that I wolfed it down before remembering to take a pic. We ordered the $5 version and it was yummy!! Their hokkien is the wet type and the stock is flavourful and sweet.

I can't believe this is a no pork no lard place!

Hokkien mee (S) @ $6
#32 Geylang 29 Charcoal Fried Hokkien Mee

One of the best hokkien mee. It's wet the way I like it and comes with good amount of prawns and sotong and lard, which is really damn yummy. But the best is the burnt taste and smell that is subtly infused in the whole plate - guess they really use charcoal to make this and the burnt taste and smell makes this dish so damn good.

Would like to try the other outlet at Geylang to see if it's consistent. But definitely happy to have this dish even though we were damn full from the other food we had (satay bee hoon, satay and oyster omelette) and this is still the best among all.

My favourite duck rice at East Coast lagoon! Have been eating this since I was a kid! Super love the braised sauce and tender duck meat. Goes well with both the braised rice or porridge!

While the queue may seem short, the wait is always super long. But you can call ahead for takeaway orders!

Plate of pan grilled pork chop with baked beans, slaw & fries.
Juicy indeed.

This is from a stall called crispy carrot cake and the carrot cake is crispy indeed. It has a lot of flavour and there are prawns in them too.

Let me prove you wrong that there are in fact numerous hidden gems in this alfresco dining spot, dishing several of our Singaporean favourites. First up is Eastern Red Seafood (Stall 01-37); one look at the stall’s menuboard and it will give you enough reasons to give them a chance. From zichar classics such as chilli crab, cereal prawns and sambal stingray, you can literally order up a feast to fill up the entire table with food. The stingray was meaty and the sambal covering it was savoury with a tinge of spice to it. Squeeze the calamansi before eating to give it a burst of life and dip the meat with some of the tangy chilli by the side for the ultimate enjoyment. A few units beside Eastern Red Seafood is Lagoon Carrot Cake (Stall 01-40), and as the name suggests, their signature is their fried carrot cake, which we got the black version, and surprisingly I have read that they do a great popiah as well. With all the uncertainty surrounding us and the virus situation, a lot of F&B outlets have suffered tremendously as a result. Hence, we should continue to #supportlocal and #savefnbsg by patronizing them if we are around the area, be it dining at the spot, ordering a takeaway or calling for a food delivery.
