Commonwealth Crescent Market & Food Centre
Milah Hokkaido Curry Puff
The stall was selling the mentaiko potato curry puff and cinnamon banana curry puff at $1.20 a piece and $3 for 3.
Mentaiko Potato
- Crispy, slightly buttery pastry shell
- Pastry shell was not too oily
- Chunks of potato filling but absolutely no mentaiko flavour
Price: 7/10
Taste: 3/10
Overall: 5/10
Cinnamon Banana
- Strong notes of cinnamon with a thick filling of mushy gooey bananas
- Good dessert item after a meal at the hawker centre
Price: 7/10
Taste: 8/10
Overall: 7.5/10
Additional notes: While the stall has a unique selling point of making its curry puff using hokkaido-based flour, no notable difference could be made to the taste. Really a pity as it does seem like quite an interesting shop with a hospitable hawker.

Hammee's
Premium Beef Cheeseburger ($8)
- Sweet caramelised onions, cheese, tomato, lettuce, jalapenos, thick beef patty, soft buttery bun
- Really moist beef patty; strong beefy flavour throughout the entire bun
- Bun on its own was slightly sweet and very buttery; When eaten together as a whole, its flavour was overwhelmed by the beef
- Definitely must-get if you're having burger cravings
- Fries were crispy though slightly too salted for me
Price: 7/10
Taste: 8/10
Overall: 7.5/10

Hao Hao Noodle House
(Chef was passionately and adeptly cooking the noodles, tossing each one up into the air before serving)
Wanton Noodles ($3)
- Char siew was harder than usual, tasting more like a meat jerky; This complemented the springy and slightly wet and sweet noodles really well
- Bits of chopped green leafy vegetables and thick chunks of pork lard provided additional crunch
- 3 wantons in the soup; Loved the thick meaty and slightly spicy pork filling in every wanton
- Pork filling was also delicately encased within paper-thin dumpling skin
Dumpling soup ($4)
- 5 large dumplings, bits of chopped scallions and green leafy vegetables and thick chunks of pork lard
- Meat in dumplings were peppery and really thick, about twice as thick as each wanton; Extremely heavenly to eat, tastes similar to the pork filling you have in siew mai but this one comes with chunks of small prawns and were slightly more peppery
- The dumplings also had paper-thin skins
- Soup itself was not too oily or saltish, making it very pleasant to drink on its own
- Would recommend to get this; Very worth it
Price: 9/10
Taste: 9/10
Overall: 9/10
