China Town

Melts in your mouth sweet char siew & sio bak! What I like about #instavideo is that u can catch the hawker in action.

To say I was surprised to find such a good chendol in this tourist trap is an understatement. Of course, you can't compare it to the famous chendols across the causeway. But within Singapore, I think it is one of the better ones. For $2.80, you get a mini mountain of very finely shaved ice that's doused with decadently concentrated Gula Melaka and rich coconut milk. Dig in and you'll find cubes of green jelly and sweet, slightly mushy small red beans buried at the bottom.

Pulut Hitam Creme Brulee
Steamed Black Glutinous Rice with Creamy Creme Brulee, a mixture of texture in every moutful.
Chef Jimmy Chok's Creation.
It is presented in a colorful way with smoke from dry ice under the dish and surrounded with colorful flowers. Great dessert but a bit heavy to finish with.

Last course of the Mod-Local Noir Dinner.

😜 Especially if cooked as omelette or boiled and eaten with vinegar on bare hands! 🤤
This stall in Chinatown Food Street makes, so far, my favourite Oyster Omelette. Moist yet has enough crispy parts which creates great texture to the palate. Deep into the chili sauce and ohh so shiok! 😍 (Improving in my use of Singlish term ehh?! 😆) #burpple #oysteromelette #chinatownfoodstreet

Craving for local delights? Make a bee line to Chinatown food street. The area transports people back to China, filled with rich heritage and delicious food. Soak in the atmosphere and let the tastebuds dance in celebration. The black carrot cake($4.50/6) is exceptionally delicious. The stall had won a well -deserved award for excellent culinary skills.

Went to try it with my Mom and I wasn’t impressed at all 😐 I got the thick chicken breast, which I dont really enjoy cuz the texture is tougher and drier. There’s nothing really special about the rice and the sauce too... I begin to think how many of those popular food stalls with such a long queue are actually overrated. I’m just gonna stick to eating my fav chicken rice from a humble stall with higher satisfaction and no queue 🤓

Finally went to try this after seeing the good reviews! I ordered the noodles instead of the rice since many reviews recommended it (while my mum ordered the rice). And YES, indeed, the noodles were way better! Not that the rice was bad haha it was just nothing special. Whereas the noodles were springy and firm. 😋

The chicken was good too! Soft, juicy and well-marinated. But like what many reviews have mentioned, the char siew was GREAT 😻✨ You should definitely try it!!!

The portions were more generous than I expected, considering the really affordable prices!! Be prepared to queue though, we started queuing at 10.05am and only got to eat at 11am 🌚 I really don't like queuing so I probably wouldn't be back again, but as a whole I really enjoyed this meal so it's pretty worth it just for a try :)

Curry Chicken Cutlet Noodles - You can choose between fried chicken cutlet or curry chicken drumstick. For those who do not appreciate spicy food, you are in for a treat. The fragrant and thick curry is slightly sweet, not very spicy, and rather “lemak”, which may be attributed to the copious amount of coconut milk added.

Another Hot 100 list favourite, this Chinese noodle stall in Chinatown Complex Market & Food Centre is a respected spot for Xiao Long Bao ($6 for 10), Hong You Chao Shou (dumplings in chilli oil and vinegar, $4.50 for 10) and Zha Jiang Mian ($3.50). The xiao long baos are plump and juicy, and are said to rival those at Din Tai Fung. The hong you chao shou on the other hand sees minced meat dumplings drenched in a bath of vinegar, chilli oil and Sichuan spices. The dumplings are prepared fresh upon order, but Burpple Tastemaker Julius Lim assures us that it is well worth the waiting time. The zha jiang mian is a steal at $3.50, and makes a good bed to soak up dripping sauces from the dumplings.

A long-term favourite among the Burpple community for its soy sauce chicken, Fatty Ox also turns out some amazing char siew. According to Burpple Tastemaker Peter Wong, all the meats here are roasted in a traditional charcoal oven, thus explaining the spot-on texture and flavour. The much raved about soy sauce chicken is tender and juicy, with a hint of Chinese herbs. What really impressed though was the char siew, which Peter describes to be "out of this world", thanks to the perfect 1:2 fat to meat ratio. The caramelised bits, as well as hits of ginger, make for off the charts deliciousness. The noodles, too, are something to rave about. Springy, with no distinct alkaline flavour, these make the perfect canvas to showcase the stellar meats. Order the Soy Sauce Chicken and Char Siew Mee ($5) to taste the best of everything.

Not to be confused with the Michelin-starred Tai Hwa in Crawford, this bak chor mee stall in Hong Lim Market & Food Centre commands similar long queues during peak meal times. And, according to Burpple Tastemaker Julius Lim, the look and taste of both renditions are both pretty similar. With prices starting from $4, the generous serving of Bak Chor Mee sees noodles tossed in a mix of chilli, soy sauce and black vinegar, topped with minced pork, pork slices, liver and pork balls. In Julius' opinion, the x-factor is all thanks to the deep-fried pieces of sole fish (ti por), which he says brings "a certain savoury and smokey enhancer to the entire dish".
