Coffeeshop / Hawker

This place serves Hainanese curry rice with a wide variety of ingredients. The curry was mild spicy and watery... not that bad but I prefer to have a slightly thicker and spicy curry. Although the queues are usually long, I find that the food here is pretty average but it does provide a very homely and comforting feel.

Comes with prawns, bean sprouts, kang kong, pork ribs and crispy pork lard. The ribs were tender soft which detach from the bone easily. Soup was more creamy rather than rich and it’s not refillable. A little pricy for the portion served too 》$8/regular

A savoury plate of hokkien prawn mee that comes with a mixture of yellow noodles, bee hoon, eggs braised in flavourful prawn broth and accompanied with prawns, squid, pork belly, pork lard, sambal chili and lime. Not the best but good enough to satisfy my cravings.

📍#01-26 | 美食炒粿条 炒虾面 • Fried Kway Taow  Fried Prawn Mee

A BKT stall located in a very old school coffeeshop that serves BKT with a distinct peppery soup. They also offer a variety of dishes such as pig trotter, intestines, liver, steamed fish, salted vegetables and free soup refill. The pork ribs was not as tender but their pig trotter was nice and it helps to compensate a little. Salted vegs were quite crunchy too! 》$6.50 + $6 Pig Trotter + $4 Veg + $0.50 Rice

Fresh, thick and succulent slices of mackerel, tang o, thin slices of ginger and garnished with fried shallots in a soup full of sweetness and goodness. One of the few places I would think of should I crave for a bowl of sliced fish soup. There's always a queue so be prepared to brave the heat for this worthwhile bowl of fish soup. We added minced pork and we definitely made the right choice. Another thing I liked was their salted fermented soy bean (tau cheo) chili dip 》$10/large + $0.50 Minced Pork + $0.50 Rice

Sinful CKT with eggs, cockles, chinese sausages, fish cake, bean sprouts and vegs. It would be better if there's more wok hei to it 》$3

Fragrant carrot cake fried in sweet dark sauce to give caramelised taste to it. Their carrot cake are thicker compared to the usual ones elsewhere 》$3

Noodles texture cooked just right, retaining it's springy texture for a good bite. Comes with a good portion of ingredients such as minced pork, liver, fishball, fish cake, meat ball and braised mushroom. Their sauce includes their fiery chili but carries a hint of sweetness and the amount of vinegar used is not too overpowering.

Ordered a set for 2 pax which comes with tau kwa, pork belly, tau pok, intestines, egg, braised peanut and salted vegs. The intestines were well cleaned and pork belly slices were tender. The kway was silky smooth with the right thickness and it goes well with the herbal broth.

The standard plate comes with braised pork belly, large intestines, fish cakes, hard boiled egg, tau pok, preserved vegetables and a bowl of kway in delicious light and herbal broth.

It's a yearly affair to have this on the morning of CNY eve before my family starts their last min shopping around the market. There's always a consistent queue to it but it's worth our time queuing. The intestines are well cleaned and braised to a perfect chewy texture. Not forgetting the preserved vegetables that was another favourite of mine.

A comforting bowl of lor bak rice that comes with chunky pieces of tender pork belly, braised egg and black fungus 》$4

It has a good ratio of meat to fats. Meat is tender, fats just melts in the mouth and black fungus was added to give a different texture and crunch to break away from the richness of the pork belly.

The tender, juicy and tasty chicken was cooked in soy sauce which left a savoury taste on the smooth skin. Noodles were cooked to the perfect firm and springy texture with braised sauce and chili. Chicken was moist and smooth, giving a very natural taste through every bite 》$3
