Old Airport Road

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.

Fried Carrot Cake! This is really good! What makes the best carrot cake? It's how tasty the carrot cake itself. A major turn off of carrot cake who get the cake that is being mass produced in factory. Home made from scratch is still the best!! Yi Sheng Gong Fu, #01-99, 51 Old Airport Road.

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.

I seldom have dinner at this hawker centre (I'm usually here in the daytime), so perhaps "Foon's Thai Recipe" stall (#01-65) has been around for a while but it's my first time noticing it. I decided to order a bowl of dry noodles to try since it looked promising.
Unlike Singaporean and Malaysian styles of "wanton" mee, there's no chilli "sambal", tomato ketchup or dark soya sauce anywhere to be seen. However, I found the clear, light and sweet-ish sauce that the springy noodles were dressed in, to be really tasty. Of course the glistening bits of crunchy fried pork lard helped as well :) For those looking to dial up the heat of their noodles, there's sour chilli sauce, dried chilli flakes and pickled green chilli available.
As I was there around 8.30pm, just before she closed for the day, the hawker said to me that the "char siew" had run out and was it ok if she gave me extra "wantons" instead. That turned out to be a good thing - those "wantons" were large, juicy and delicious.

The best chicken wings I've ever eaten. More importantly is the chili like woah it complements the chicken so well and even goes well with other things! Definitely a must try there!

Such comfort food, way better than any branded fried chicken.

East-bound day and decided to drop in and discovered this old signature stall. Serves up great noodles with such a sweet and rich soup stock, you can't stop SLURPING. 😍😍😍

[Old Airport Road Food Centre] There's a saying that food brings people together. I totally agree with that as it has led me to find many like-minded friends whom we can talk for hours over food. And the best part, we can share the calories by ordering from several stalls and take our time to layout and photograph it without bothering about the weird stares of others. See you both tonight for more feasting!

There's quite a few big prawn noodle stalls in this hawker but this is my favourite following up with the stall with pinkish bowls.

Thick and sweet soup base with 2 big prawns. My all time favourite when I visit this hawker 》$5
