Golden Mile Food Centre

The bright red colour of the Soup Tulang Merah ($10 + $2 for bread) from Haji Kadir Food Chains (Golden Mile Food Centre #B1-13/15) was not the most appetising sight at first glance😅 Armed with plastic gloves, straw and a resolve to not stain my shirt, I dug into the mutton bone marrow stew and it was surprisingly good. The sauce was sweet and spicy and it was a great dip for the bread. Although the bones did not have a lot of meat, it was quite satisfying to gnaw the bits of meat directly off the bones. The meat was tender and it was not gamy (I think the sauce helped!). The jelly-like marrow inside the bone can be sucked out with the help of a straw and few knocks on the bone. Achievement unlocked😬!

It‘s quite uncommon to find herbal roasted duck in hawker centers. The Herbal Roasted Duck ($12 for quarter) from YaLoh Herbal Roast Duck at Golden Mile Food Centre is tender and juicy and the sweet and savoury herbal sauce goes really well with rice. We also ordered braised tofu and roasted duck head for sides and they are drizzled in a rich dark sauce. Pretty good and affordable!
