Hawker Hops
Had a lunch of local hawker classics from Hup Hup Mee Siam - laksa, lor mee and mee siam! Their stall is located at Circuit Road Market & Food Centre, but they do deliveries across the island as well. Enjoyed their fragrant and nutty mee siam most. It’s a tad bit sweeter but we didn’t mind it as its fresh coconut milk based gravy was nicely balanced out by the appetising tangy-ness.
Use via their online ordering platform for 4 mains + 4 drinks at $15 till end April. Thank you @huphup.co for sharing these with me! ✨
Top 1 will always be my definition of comfort food. Will always recommend their you mian cause I find that it has the best bite among all their noodle options!
Other than mookata, Noshkata also offer these mini steamboats fit for a pax - Tom Yum Hotpot and Army Stew ($11.90). This was a decent rendition that came mildly spicy.
The meat platter we had was huge with their Nosh pork belly, garlic pork belly, pork belly, hua diao chicken, cumin chicken, bulgogi chicken, black pepper pork collar and smoked duck. Meats were all marinated well and thoroughly, though we did find a few of them a tad bit saltier than we would have liked. They also have 3 different chilli dips for you to pair with.
Thank you @noshkata_grill for having us! ✨
Thought I wouldn’t be a fan of this cause of the nacho cheese, but they were generous with the mozzarella that helped to balance out the sweetness from the nacho. Quite shiok to dip with the meats!

Hawker mookata dinner the other night with Noshkata Grill that’s tucked in Sembawang Hills Food Centre. Their menu is pretty huge and quite affordable priced. If you have difficulty deciding from the ala carte, they’ve made it easier with their different platters to opt for. We had the meat platter that had smoked duck + a variety of pork collar, pork belly and chicken marinated in different styles - all with a cheese dip that’s made with nacho cheese and mozzarella. Other interesting ingredients we spotted were bak kwa, shishamo & garlic bread, along with additional army stew & tom yum hot pot options.

Recently went back to The Beef House to takeaway one of my favourite suan pan zi around! They’re still as good as I remember to be - soft textured with a great chew and generous ingredients. Try their Hakka soon kuehs too if you’re here!
Here’s another one of the stalls in Chinatown that I’ve been really enjoying, They sell a bunch of other noodles too like suan la fen and beef noodles, and though this one seems much simpler in comparison, I love the very addictive and appetising punch in the sauce. It’s vinegary, spicy, savoury and a tad bit sweet and numbing. Just peanuts, beansprouts and coriander as toppings, but so good. Gonna be trying their suan la fen next!

Apart from the traditional and more familiar min jiang kuehs, AAA Pancake has these smaller curry puff-shaped ones. There’s a whole range of fillings to choose from - from the familiar peanut and coconut, to more unique ones like coffee and pandan. Went with the pandan and found the filling too thick and tad clumpy. The sweet paste tasted similar to pandan flavoured lotus paste. Filling aside, the skin was pretty soft and not too thick or doughy, especially when it was served warm.

Came to try Double Spring Teochew Kway Chap but it was closed, so we picked a long queue to join 😂 Their wanton mee is the traditional old school type with a chilli strong of haebi. I wasn’t a big fan as the chilli overwhelmed and the noodles were a bit too doughy and soft for my liking.

Simple menu of 4 fillings of chee cheong fun to choose from - Plain ($3), Prawns ($5), Scallops ($6) and this Char Siew. Took about 15 minutes to reach our turn and their queue was perpetually long, but no complaints! While I’ve only got to try one other fresh made ccf, this was sooo much better. It was soft and smooth but not at all soggy or mushy. It had a generous filling of char siew bits and pour of light soy sauce. Loved the well-balanced salty and sweet combination here. Initially felt that the price was a bit steep, but it was a filling plate. Really impressive, will surely get this again!
Lucky Seafood Catering’s a pretty popular spot for their handmade lai fun and yong tau foo pieces, but unfortunately we didn’t quite enjoy it. The lai fun had a slight chew to it but was a bit too greasy and quite bland, despite mixing in the minced meat. We had a few fried ytf pieces and they were hits and misses. One that we liked was the stuffed jicama!
