Old Airport Road Bucket List

[Old Airport Road Food Centre] Hua Kee Hougang Famous Wan Ton Mee ($4) that was highly recommended by @rainraineeataway and since we are already there, there's no chance we are giving it a miss. The star of the dish was definitely the QQ eggy noodles. Nothing pretentious, just a bowl of old school wanton noodles that you probably need to queue for 15 minutes?

I can say it kinda like a cross breed of Singapore Style & Similar to Malaysia Penang Char Kway Teow. As you know Penang Char Kway Teow does not add too much dark soy & come with Seafoods. The Stall Owner will always pick up fresh seafood frm the Market. A plate of char kway teow cost u $4 u will get a fresh big sea prawn & Squids. The Stall owner will close early once the ingredients run out
Name:Dong Ji Fried Kway Teow
Address:Blk 51 Old Airport Road #01-138 Singapore 390051

Remarks: Will closes Early When Food is Sold out so pls come Early to avoid disappointment.

The long queue in front of this stall, visible from the carpark piqued my curiosity as we entered the vicinity of Old Airport Road Hawker Centre. I've been a fan of Lor Mee for years now, but apparently I'd always been ordering from the wrong stall at OAR. I decided to join the queue this time, readying myself for the long wait. The owners here seem to have perfected their queue management along with their standard of Lor Mee though. The fantastic memory of the staff impressed me, and the queue moved steadily. I got my food in under 20mins and dug in greedily. The portions were generous - we ordered the large ($5), which came with tonnes of fluffy snapper and braised meat (lu rou). The sauce was tasty, and was elevated with a touch of vinegar and fragrant chili. The only thing that was missing was ngoh hiang, which is rather essential in my option. Nevertheless, it was a thoroughly enjoyable bowl of lor mee, and definitely sufficient to feed two people. 🌟🌟🌟🌟 #hawkerpedia #sg50

My parents use to storm my room at 8am on weekends, rudely dragging me to the bathroom, just so we could hit Old Airport Road earlier - all for a bowl of this Blanco Court Kway Chap. Of course us being Singaporeans, we never stop at just one dish. The table would be packed full with loads of other bites: from fried carrot cake, rojak, to bowls of ice kachang and tau huay. The star however would always remain this kway chap. The aunty only used to speak in dialects, so us kiddies learnt the kway chap lingo just to enjoy this dish for breakfast. We'll fight over the braised intestines and pig's skin (much to any ang moh's horror) and all would be gone before you know it. But that was a long time ago. Before cafés were up, before we grew up. Today the aunty actually speaks English and Mandarin. Doesn't feel all that same. #hawkerpedia

Haha yes I did it on purpose. 😋😆😏 #lastnight #latergram #foodporn #sgfoodies #chuankeesatay #oldairportroad #porksatay #burpple #sgfood

The benefit (and gluttony) of lunching in a group is the variety! This, right after Kway Chap and Char Kuay Teow 😝 More food to share!

The ever-popular prawn noodles from Whitley Big Prawn Noodle is a clear example of a crowd favourite. With prawn stock that's so rich and robust that you will ration and savour every sip of it, and additional lard bits for that added oomph in the noodles, you will gladly pay $5 for it.

04. It has been there for many years and fiercely competing with Hua Kee which is a stall away. Now there is an option for you to choose what kind of noodles you want!! Beetroot, spinach, etc kinda noodles. Pretty interesting. This is pretty decent bowl of wanton noodle.

4 munchies: While the noodles had great texture, I'd have liked the char siew a bit more charred and fatty. The standout element of the dish was the chilli for me - zesty with a hint of sweetness from the char siew sauce.

[Old Airport Road Food Centre] Besides the usual hokkien mee, wanton mee and chicken rice, you can even get frozen yogurt now in a hawker centre. Bizarre but true. However, I have to agree it's a smart move as there will always be a crowd and rental is relatively lower as compared to a retail space in a shopping mall. Is this a recipe for success which will kickstart more entrepreneurs to set up unique stalls in our local hawker centers? The major stumbling block I would say is the right target audience. For example, setting up a frozen yogurt bar in Old Airport Road Food Centre is appropriate as there are many young working adults or students patronizing there on a regular basis. Furthermore, by pricing your large froyo at $5 ($1.95 cheaper than llaollao) is a good tactic and in the long run, Jogurtz can maybe expand their choices of fruits and toppings to better compete with llaollao.

Be prepared to queue and be rewarded for your patience with a delicious bowl of lor mee that i rate as one of the best in Singapore.

4.5 munchies: Noodles firm to the bite, generous ingredients and most important of all, the sweet and fragrant stock made from fresh prawns and anchovies! Even though I prefer my hokkien mee with red sambal chilli, this was so good that I could make do without it and still felt satisfied after wiping the plate clean.

P.S. Be prepared to wait for at least 30 mins, and the uncle closes the stall as and when he likes it.
