The temperatures here are crazy this month… glad to rediscover the ol’Chendol … this iced balanced mix of Peranakan origin hits the spot on a hot day !! Four thumbs out of 5 from “i”

Unkai has been around for some time but I have only made a trip down to check them out recently.

They were pretty much sold out by the time I got there so I tried the comparatively "boring' salmon and teriyaki chicken bento instead.

I liked that the salmon was not overcooked and dry and the sauces was not saccharine sweet. The chicken was also tender and juicy.

Fresh sashimi, oysters and scallops are certainly not dishes you would find in a hawker centre. Hopefully I get a chance to try them the next time I visit Unkai!

Salt serves up some damn shiok Chicken Cutlet and Chicken Chops.

The Chicken Cutlet was crispy, juicy, tender and flavourful. So well marinated.

Their garlic fried rice also very good.

Being a Michelin Bib Gourmand recipient, Lao Fu Zi often attracts a queue. It is also rather slow moving because each plate of CKT is made to order instead of in bulk.

I do admire the hawker for his dedication to provide each customer with a fresh plate of CKT. His CKT is the dry version with a decent amount of wok hei. It is also sweeter than most plates of ckt. Gerald from TeamofTwo stated in his review that it tasted similar to the kway teow you get from the economical beehooon stall in the morning. A little harsh IMHO but I can see why he described it as so as it is dry and rather sweet.

It is an above average plate of CKT though I don't really get the hype. It's definitely not a plate I would go across the island for or stand in line for 30 to 45 minutes. I will however gladly grab a plate if I was craving a ckt and there isn't a queue!

"Xin Mei Xiang Lor Mee in the day, Western Barbecue in the night (and Nam Xing HKM whenever it is open)" used to be my mantra when it comes to meals at Old Airport Rd FC.

Pre-COVID, I would usually visit Old Airport Rd FC at least once a month but this was my first trip in a really long time. It was kinda late in the evening but my chicken chop from Western Barbecue was sadly disappointing. The chicken meat itself was a little tough and dry and the sweet garlic sauce was watery, bland and simply meh. Hopefully I just caught them at a bad time because this was really far from what used to be one of my favourite plates of chicken chop!

One of the bakery stall thsr you can find in the food centre, with all the muffins displayed in the fridge based on the availability for the day.

The texture is really great and flavourful with the ingredients. You really find fresh banan inside the muffin.

Recommend to grab some of them before leaving the food centre.

💡: On par with KL 海外天 Overseas Restaurant😍 - approved by family! especially for their premium char siew highly recommended 💯
📍: @roastparadise ( #oldairportroadfoodcentre )
💰: ~ $7-15

i cannot stop raving about the sweet fatty char siew 🤤 so sinful but so good!!!! i had roast paradise before but not their premium fatty char siew which exceeded expectations 💗 the chunky crunchy pork belly served fresh and hot was next to clear 🤪 followed by a close fight between the tender roasted duck and lean char siew ✨

For sides other than rice 🍚 which u must get to balance out all the juicy fats 😂 The cabbage soup (self service) is so addictive packed with the aromatic flavor from the duck bones and sweet cabbage 🥬 their mee pork with housemade spicy sauce really dealt a punch as well 🥵✨

overrall, 💯 return for the premium caramelised char siew - on par with msia top tier standards 😉💗

One of the popular char kway teow stall at Old Airport road is Lao Fu Zi Fried Kway Teow!

The wait is around 15-25mins! Got the $8 portion this time round and it had prawns as well!

Added a little chilli this time round and I felt it was too mild, can go for more chilli the next time!

But during this visit, there were a few noodle bits that were charred and hard..

Location: 51 Old Airport Rd, #01-12 Food Centre, Singapore 390051

My favourite Wooga variant of jjajangmyeon turned out to be their humbler yooni jjajangmyeon.

Instead of bulgogi or pork belly, this came topped with minced meat. I preferred this variant because the minced meat retained its juices and made the black bean sauce more savoury and flavourful.

At this price point, I think Wooga presents a really good bowl of jjajangmyeon. In terms of 1the proteins, I certainly prefer the Jeong Jjajang which comes with seafood. As for the sauces, it boils down to a matter of personal preference - do you prefer a sweeter and glossier sauce (ie Wooga) or a more savoury version (Jeong). Both are great but I personally prefer the later.

P.s. Jeong has since shifted a shop space and naturally increased its prices. Other than Wooga, I can't think of any other hawker stalls which serve a bowl of JJM at these prices!

Wooga Jjajang uses a thicker and chewy form of wheat noodles. I initially thought that they were using the common yellow noodles but there was none of the alkaline taste commonly associated with the yellow noodles.

I personally prefer the bulgogi over the bulgogi pork belly as it was more tender. However, it was a little dry and I wished that they cut it a little thicker so that the meat retained its juices better.

Miss K and I used to drop by Dong Bang Hong Korean-Chinese restaurant in Telok Ayer to satisfy our Jjajangmyeon craving until it shut down in 2020.

I was therefore execited to learn that the chef has set up shop in Old Airport Road FC, serving what else but jjajangmyeon with a 60 year old award winning recipe handed down from his father. I mean jjajangmyeon at hawker centre prices? Sign me up!

Wooga's JJM sauce is thick yet glossy and super smooth, making it easy to slurp up. The sauce is on the sweet side with a nice hint of wokhei from the caramelised onions and black bean paste. I personally prefer Jeong Jjajang's savoury and less oily sauce but this ultimately boils down to a matter of personal preference.

I was however not a big fan of their bulgogi pork belly which was a little tough and rubbery. It was either overcooked or left in the open for too long.

P.s. This is a review of Wooga Jjajang's new outlet in October 2023. However, it seems to closed down according to Google!

Xiang Ji now has the longer lor mee queue, ever since the other popular stall here expanded to be easily available nation wide.

The gravy here is Thick and garlicky.

Generous serving of ingredients.
