Haron Satay: Tasty But A Teeny Bit Too Sweet
A pleasant night at East Coast Lagoon Food Village (hawker centre) which we headed to fix our satay craving. Only downer is touting here (stall owners swarming and calling out to you) as it’s a tourist attraction I guess. Haron … Continue reading

While awaiting the renovation completion at East Coast beach we headed to the section that’s still open near the hawker centre. Grateful for cloud cover protecting us from the direct heat.

#13. Fried Fish Soup
Not as healthy as sliced fish soup, but my favourite relatively healthy, low carb, hawker meal of all time. Fried fish soup with milk added to the broth, from Airport Road hawker centre. I love the silky tofu and the … Continue reading

Haven’t had my favourite food in the whole world in a long while, which is the former Depot Road Claypot Laksa. It’s now at Alexandra Village. Used to be sold by the parents but I think the business has passed … Continue reading

Tiong Bahru Hawker Centre
The design of the Tiong Bahru Food centre is pretty unique, but your car will get cooked at the rooftop parking lot if you linger for too long. Eat and dash. This time around I was not impressed by the … Continue reading

Lao Ban Soya Beancurd (Old Airport Road Hawker Centre)
Heard quite a bit about this beancurd which is more like chilled custard than beancurd. But when the first spoonful hit my tastebuds it brought back the beancurd I had as a little child for breakfast. It was reminiscent of … Continue reading

[youtube]wMszYyoUJHE[/youtube] This one is a classic – touched on the choping seats with tissue packets situation. [youtube]bPTC-KdJeGs[/youtube] And this one makes … Continue reading

Curry Rice at the Maxwell Road Food Centre

Simple Pleasures: Wan Tan Mee & the Sunset
There is so much good street food at the Old Airport Road Food Centre, but I always tend to crave for simple wan tan mee. You need to queue up at this stall (Hua Kee Hougang Wan Tan Mee), but … Continue reading

Airport Road Hawker Centre: The Best Rojak in Singapore
Rojak is our Singapore salad, but it doesn’t taste anything like a salad. It’s more like sweet, sour, spicy and nutty. I used to think it was healthy but now discover that with the prawn paste and all that sugar … Continue reading
