Hawkers With A Passion
Dessert pavilion
Alexandra village hawker
The purest and most authentic black sesame paste by far :)
You won’t get any of that starchy , gooey nonsense here - all you get is real grounded black sesame in a smooth creaminess .
The desserts here are also very comfortably sweetened - not too sweet at all .
Desserts are on rotation basis and you can choose from a variety of peanut paste , Bo bo cha Cha , red bean and green bean sago soup , dumplings in longan ginger soup / black sesame paste .
This stall probably deserves a Michelin 🥰.
For those of you whom dislike the Hae go smell or are allergic to that -
This is a good rojak to go to because it doesn’t use shrimp paste.
The homemade sauce is tangy and so appetising.
Freshly cut fruit rojak smothered in a sauce that is not too sweet and has a nice spicy kick.
Not cheap at 5.50 but the quality of the ingredients used justify for the price .
If you say quiche - I say marche.
One of the best versions of quiche for me .
Jam packed with full of ingredients and just enough pastry to hold the quiche together.
Quiches flavours are on rotation :) so you get a new surprise everyday.
Served warm !
Pretty good not wet not dry mee siam .
Tangy and slightly thicker sauce.
Would be nice if the vermicelli was slightly more tender but still very delicious overall .
At least the sauce is not sickeningly sweet .

Tiong Bahru hawker
Firm rice rolls , best homemade chilli .
Let the picture do the talking 🥰
You can never go wrong choosing rice rolls when you don’t know what to eat in the morning 🤩
Interesting vibes in the coffee shop .
Go for the dumpling noodles ( check out my earlier post ) 🥰
Nested in an old old coffeeshop at Onan / crane road 🥰
Don’t look left or right -
Just dive in straight to these plump shrimp dumplings with huge fresh prawns inside.
As good as the ones my mum used to make for us - all the good stuff inside .
They also make a pretty good wanton noodles but go for the shrimp dumplings.
Well roasted HK style char siew and crisp pork belly - pretty underrated stall at the first floor of Hong life hawker .
Chef Jackson used to work in various high end cantonese restaurants so you get then bang for your buck here .
Must also try his char Siew wanton noodles. QQ noodles and a good homemade chilli sauce .
Delectable!
Amazing curry fish head sauce - one of the best I have tried .
You won’t get any of that starchy , milky or sweet kind of curry here. The curry sauce was robust and piquant. The curry was came with generous amounts of cabbage , aubergines and lady’s fingers .
The only downside is the very small fish head at 28 dollars - and the fish was not too fresh .
Maybe I bring my own fish head next time 🤣
Very delicious and fresh Kuehs from kueh Ho Jiak hidden at the row of stalls behind hawker Chan.
For 2 dollars , you can do a mixture of 4 Kuehs.
My favourite will always be their sweet potato ondeh ondeh . QQ and tenders and bursting with a generous gula meleka filling .
Comfort food
Really value for money meal - for 3 dollars , you get 6 pieces of Yong Tau Hu plus an authentic Hakka noodles with your choice of minced meat or ikan billis toppings .
The ingredients are fresh and the noodles are QQ .
The soup is also light and not overly seasoned.
A very hearty meal at a cheap price :)
Carrot cake , prawn mee and Char kwey Teow
Pretty good and moist CKT from a stall in the middle row which doesn’t quite have a name.
Pretty good wok hei and generous portions .
