Changing the scene of Mee Hoon Kway, aka freshly pulled dough slices, Jiak Song has popped up all over our tiny island and bringing in a fresh perspective of this simple dish.
Easily one of my go-to dishes when I'm not sure what to get, these hand pulled slices are perfectly cooked, with that slight chew which makes it extremely enjoyable. Pair it with minced pork, handmade juicy pork balls, crispy ikan bilis & dark soy sauce-this dish is simple yet extremely satisfying.
Also to add, their soup is on a whole other level. The first scoop sends you to wok hei heaven with that charcoal-ed taste tingling every corner of your tastebud. They also crack an egg into your soup, giving you that silky egg texture with every spoonful.
First time trying this Mee Hoon Kueh at Telok Blangah Cresent 👍 The wok hey after-taste lingers. I think it's worth the try if you are in the area!l.
素缘，mentioned in my previous post that I will be back to try their curry gravy instead and true enough it is very tasty as well. Now I’m spoilt for choice the next time I’m here. Gravy or Curry?
From Telok Blangah Crescent
Really shiok to have some shave ice dessert.
Inside at the bottom filled with red bean, grass jelly cubes and palm seeds.
Nice.
From Tai Feng Fine Food
Another savoury plate of home style food.
Slow braised pork belly soft texture, deep fried crispy prawn and sliced bittergourd with egg.
Wallet friendly prices.
Dine in for self service soup.
There’s always a queue at this stall. It’s manned by an old uncle who’s packing the orders and an auntie who does the cooking.
You can choose to 淋汁(gravy) or curry over your choice of beehoon or mee. In my case I had a beehoon Mee with gravy ($3 + 20 cents for takeaway)
The gravy is the key to this light and tasty beehoon mee. The ingredients are generous and there’s two forms of 斋鹅, my favourite!
Their curry seems to be very popular too. I saw containers of vegetable curry for takeaway. Next time I will probably tell uncle to 淋咖喱 instead!
Waited almost half an hour for this bowl of all in combo Mee Hoon Kway ($5)
There were only six people ahead of me at that time. They do take some time to cook each bowl of noodles.
The soup is very flavourful with a tinge of wok hei which I like. The meatball is abit salty, the shrimp ball is tasty with a nice bite. Mee hoon kway is too soft and mushy even though they pack the soup separately for takeaway (add$0.30)
Will definitely try the dry one next time.
had the signature combo with pork slice + pork ball + shrimp ball at $5 (soup/dry)
soup version: thick soup, noodles still maintain a slightly charred taste and had great texture, egg was dIVINE!! Cooked just right with flowing yolk.
dry version: comes with bowl of soup as pictured, the soup taste is a little different from the soup version as it’s more eggy with the egg swirled in
personally, i liked how the shrimp ball tasted with the chilli!!
while the overall taste is unique, we felt like older people might prefer traditional mee hoon kway because of the flavour. nevertheless its worth queueing to try!
Found this hidden gem on SG Food on Foot blog and can confirm that this was one of the best Soy Sauce Chicken I’ve had! Never used to be a fan and this humble stall in Telok Blangah Crescent totally converted me.
Affordable and delicious, we ordered Half Chicken ($7) and two plates of noodle ($1 each) which only amounted to $9? The chicken was tender and just the right amount of saltiness 👌🏻 The noodle was my favourite, QQ and packed with flavor from the chili and sauces! 💯
Uncle fried Kway teow 1 plate at a time..
So need lot of patience. .. kway teow was nice and the egg fried is just so perfect....love the pork oil cube... ...
Another interesting side to Fei Lou. They sell this chicken but not chicken rice. It's on the raw side so might not be to everyone's liking.
Something only sold by Cantonese. Quite generous with the cuttlefish and very fresh fish, although the latter had lots of tiny bones. Sprinkled crisps provided a great contrast.
From Uncle Lim Traditional Pancake stall, freshly made soft, fluffy and chewy round pancakes with moist sweet red bean fillings.
Each 80 cents.
Went here on a weekday afternoon and so many stalls either had long queues or weren’t open. Ended up here because I didn’t want to queue ($2.70 for my rice + two items). The ba pa/Pork chop was okay, although the slices weren’t evenly cut (some were a bit too thin). The vegetables were meh and room temperature, so I didn’t finish it.
Amazing vegetarian noodles with so much liao! Uncle is abit slow but food is delicious. Worth the queue. $3 for mixed, Add springroll for $1.
How do you improve some of the best fried wings? Debone them, of course. These are out of this world.
We ordered the Teochew Mui (porridge) with some dishes. The meatball was soooo fricking good! Not to be missed. The texture of the porridge was how I liked it to be, not too mushy and not “undercooked” (like rice and water).
While my dad order chicken rice with half portion of steamed chicken. Even though the chicken wasn’t drenched in sauce and oil, it was surprisingly good and not too dry.
Walking pass “Labarador Malay Stall”, i spotted someone having his Lontong, the colour of the “kuah” (gravy) was so intriguingly yellow that made me turn around and ordered one myself.
I asked for extra rendang which resulted in doubling the price from regular lontong $3 to $6 for lontong with additional rendang. Fair enough.
Lontong sayur is a common Malay breakfast in Indonesia including in Padang.
Lontong means rice cake and sayur means vegetables. There are many different versions with different vegetables, could be just the classic cabbage carrot and long bean or the exotic ones like young jackfruit or fern tips.
This one is the classic one found in many places in Singapore with cabbage and long beans, with extra friend bean curd/tofu and boiled egg plus serundeng (spiced grated coconut) on top made it so appealing.
And the taste.. I was hooked ! It was so good, not so strongly heavy/lemak but it has a good balance of the spices all together, dominantly turmeric i have to say (which i really like) with galangal and lemongras.
I have tried their Nasi Padang before which was ok, but this lontong sayur is one of the best i’ve had in Singapore.
Konak Western Food sell western foods at affordable price. $5.50 for grilled chicken chop rice with egg.
You can find the cheapest fishball noodle in this hawker centre at Hua Fa Fishball Noodle stall for only $2.50.
