Hawker/Kopitiam/Food Court

Saw quite a number of people eating their food when I was wandering around the hawker centre deciding what to eat during lunch break. Guess it was a sign to eat @lixinfishball, and at the same time I was curious about it. Haha.

Got me a bowl with a bit of almost everything. I had mee kia dry style, added chilli mixed with lard oil, crispy pork lard, and homemade chilli sauce. The amount of sauce given was generous, each mouthful making the lips greasy. Noodles had a nice chewy bite and flavour was great, though I did not quite like how the noodles clumped together when lifting to eat, as one whole chunk of noodles came out at once. The bowl also came with lightly marinated and tender minced meat, lean meat, onsen egg, spring onion, and a jumbo wanton. The wanton was huge with crispy skin, but the actual filling size was comparable to their fish dumpling. A bit hard to chew if the skin got wet and lost its crispiness.

Since the noodles were served dry, they provided a small bowl of soup to accompany it. The soup contained their homemade secret recipe fishball said to be made from 100% yellowtail fish, fish dumpling, and fish roll. The fishball had a really bouncy texture and was full of umami. The fish dumpling had smooth QQ skin with savoury meat inside. The fish roll wrapped vegetable within fish meat. All were pretty delicious and the savoury soup was comforting.

Overall, it was pretty awesome and I now know why so many people were eating their food and why this dish is called The Folks' Favourite.

Heartwarming bowl of chewy, slurpy noodles in umami savoury soup with loads of Chinese spinach, wolfberries, minced meat, century egg, salted egg, normal egg, ikan bilis, and shallots. Comfort food at its best. When the soup is good, everything is good. Haha.

Amazing thosai with a crisp surface that was not oily, filled with loads of masala, and served with sambar and chutney. The dosai was flaky, with each bite giving off a nice crunchy sound. Sambar and chutney were standard, the reddish‑brown one should be tomato chutney with a sharp spicy‑sourish kick, the yellow‑orange one should be sambar which was warm, tangy, and comforting, and the white/light green one should be coconut chutney served chilled with slight creaminess and sweetness. The masala inside was rather mushy and potatoey with light spice and herb notes. I was hoping for stronger flavour, but it was fine.

Ah… so comforting. A spicy, thick curry served piping hot in a claypot with a huge chicken drumstick, thigh, and a whole potato. The curry had a good ratio of spice base that made it thick and savoury, with curry leaves adding fragrance and chilli padi giving extra heat. The chicken was soft, tender, and easy to debone, while the potato had a firm bite outside but was soft inside.

What stood out was the generous amount of curry sauce, making it easy to pair with rice without worrying about running out. The balance of spice and creaminess gave the dish a homely feel, hearty yet tastisfying. It is one of those bowls that warms you up instantly.

I also recommend trying their assam fish curry, which offers a tangy alternative to the richness of the chicken curry.

Iced black tea with lime, a classic local drink to have. The sweetness was balanced, and the lime added a refreshing citrus lift.

Strong masala flavour with aromatic tea and sweet milkiness. The ratio of spice to tea was spot on, making it fragrant and very enjoyable to drink. The blend was bold yet smooth, never overpowering, and always shiok.

Ordering drinks from my favourite stall whenever I visit Yishun Park Hawker Centre. Shahana’s is one of those places where the consistency and balance of flavours keep me coming back.

Fluffy long grain rice served with chicken and mutton kebab, plus vegetables. Mediterranean rice is usually flavourful and aromatic, but here the taste was more subtle and soft. At least the texture was light, fluffy, and tender chewy. Perhaps it was kept mild to let the kebabs shine. Eating the rice together with the kebabs did improve the flavour, though I still felt it could be stronger.

The mutton kebab was thinly sliced, flavourful, mildly gamey, and chewy. The chicken kebab was also thinly sliced, tender, with a mild flavour but slightly dry. Between the two, I preferred the mutton kebab as it carried more character and bite. Both portions could have been more generous, as it was not quite enough to satisfy. Thankfully, the sauce helped to lift the overall taste.
