[MATTAR, SINGAPORE] Don't remember the Circuit Road Hawker Centre being so crowded at night, but there were so many dishes I wanted to try 😍 among all of them we had 3 that caught our eye:

The Fried Prawn Mee from Tian Seng was like a roller coaster ride; I was shocked & disappointed at the start when I saw that the bigger $5 portion was so small... But once I tried it I fell in love 😍 the umami prawn & garlic flavour was so intense, and the noodles were cooked just right! Although the wok hei might be slightly lacking, but such intense prawn flavour is really hard to find. This might be one of my top 5!

I've had oyster omelette ($5) from Ghim Guan quite a few times, and the standard remains high. This rendition is wetter than others, but rich in flavours. I love how eggy this whole dish tastes and that the oysters were plump and juicy!

Lastly, the Claypot Chicken Rice ($7) from Nanxing was just decent, felt like there was nothing much to say about the rice. The chicken was very tender and fresh though!

Such a nice place for dinner, with quite a huge variety of stalls to choose from! I think this is a lesser known hawker which you should try visiting 😍

One of the better orh luaks I’ve had in a while! The oyster omelette nails the smoky wok hei. The oysters were relatively huge, fresh, and plump, which made each bite juicy and rich. Loved the contrast between the crispy edges of the egg and the gooey, chewy starch batter. The chilli was tangy with a nice kick, cutting through the richness perfectly. Definitely worth the wait 》$5

Sambal Stingray @$12/$15

28 BBQ serves up fresh Sambal Bbq Stingray.

Meat is fresh and tender, slides off the bone easily and not over-cooked at all.

Sambal was damn shiok and was not too overly- spicy.

Have ate this a few times and dapao back also. Always consistently good.

@80 Cents per stick

The Aroma coming out from the store made me really Buay Tahan.

As I waited for Hanjiang Food to arrive, really bth liao, and Esah Satay smells too good, decided to get 10 sticks to quench my hunger.

No regrets. What came were 10 sticks of Chunky pieces of chicken, all well marinated, tender, and slightly charred edges. All the perfect combination for great satay.

3rd-generation hawker Ang Poh Huat serves a rendition that carries good wok hei / breath of the wok, fragrant and smoky.
.
The regular version, pictured, has fluffy egg and chewy potato starch, with a good ratio of crisp to soft, carrying smoky eggy sweet savoury flavour. Crisp spring onions and parsley lend vegetal herbal sweet notes.
.
The oysters are small, plump, fresh, bursting with briny salty sweet flavour.
.
He also serves a unique no-starch oyster omelette rendition that features garlic chili served gravy style, blanketing the dish in piquant goodness.

Remembered reading about this place on social media before. The uncle chef dances whilst cooking this plate of Char Kway Teow.

The CKT smells good. Tasted only ok though.

The one thing I like about this hawker centre, is that I see most stores accept cashless qr code payment like grabpay etc. Not bad for a hawker centre located in the midst of a old neighbourhood. And most storeholders I see are of the older generation, who says they can't embrace technological advancements.

Good job uncles & aunties.

While some places half their seabass head and tail, the ones here were halved sideways along the backbone where you get both the head to tail on one side.

The sea bass was moist and delicate, with soft textured flesh. The sea bass retains the best natural taste of the fish, seasoned with soy sauce dressing and minced garlic. It taste simple and incredible.

Prawns were seasoned and steamed Hong Kong style with light soy sauce and minced garlic. The prawns were fresh and sweet, accompanied with garlic fragrance and sauce that pairs well with rice.

Sunny Korean have a few outlets in Singapore, so this isn't the first tine I had them.

Simple, good & affordable. Coffee shop prices.

Sizzling hot when served.

Serves with kimchi & spicy ikan bilis.

Fresh, healthy and economical steamed seafood set with no sugar, less salt, less oil and low in calories is the reason why there are so many old folks ordering from this stall.

They specialise in steamed fishes and prawns. I ordered the big steamed golden pomfret and fragrant spicy prawn set (signature dish) to try. The soy-based seasoning used here is milder compared to a Hong Kong soy dressing which feels healthier yet brings out the natural sweetness from the seafood. Simply homely and comforting.

Each set comes with free-flow rice and soup. The steamed pomfret is fresh, moist and delicate with natural sweetness while the butterflied prawns comes with fried garlic and chilli padi in soy sauce on a bed of glass noodles. I like how the glass noodles soak up the sauce so well.

Other set dishes available over here are steamed sea bass, steamed red grouper and spicy lala. The best thing is the price of set meals tagged so affordably between $5.00 to $6.50. They also have side dishes like preserved radish omelette, chicken mid wings and bitter gourds for add-ons to go along with their set meals.
