Since that fateful day a few years back, my only choice for Char Kway Teow has to come from this little known stall in Bukit Merah.

6)Tiong Bahru Yi Sheng Fried Hokkien Mee – Prawn Noodles

Tiong-Bahru-Yi-Sheng-Fried-Hokkien-Mee-Stall-scaled.jpg

Don’t be mistaken. Tiong Bahru Yi Sheng Fried Hokkien Mee is located at ABC Brickworks Food Centre at Jalan Bukit Merah (and not Tiong Bahru), and is easily considered one of the best Hokkien Mee you can find in Singapore.

7)Hup Kiat Traditional Popiah Skin

Hup Kiat Traditional Popiah Skin is one of the few stalls in Singapore that continues to place emphasis on good quality, traditionally-made popiah skin. Freshly kneaded on the spot with diligence and care, regular store-bought popiah skins certainly cannot compare to the traditionally made fresh popiah skins. The secret lies in the popiah skin recipe that has been passed down for generations, maintaining the traditional techniques in preparing the delicate popiah skins

Offering a full-on menu of both Asian and Western fare, Colbar is one of the few gems in Singapore that we can safely say, has truly stood the test of time. Opened in 1953, the establishment formerly served as a canteen for the British army. It, therefore, gave rise to its name, Colbar, otherwise referred to as ‘Colonial Bar’.

Hainanese Boneless Chicken Rice has a rather straight-forward name, which makes me wonder how they stood out from other stalls. The answer was simple: they simply sold affordable good food. The chicken was smooth, and oozing with the savoury gravy.The Chicken Rice (S$3) was fragrant, well-infused with chicken broth and garlic. Hainanese Boneless Chicken Rice 紫金城 at Alexandra Village Food Centre #01-15.

Came here to try the lamb meat and tendon soup. The meat was really tender and loved the tendon too! There were shreds of ginger in the soup, and didn’t not have a strong lamb/mutton smell.

13)MAXWELL FUZHOU OYSTER CAKE @ MAXWELL FOOD CENTRE

Mdm Hoon will sit in front of the deep fryer to make the oyster cake. She first adds a spoonful of batter before putting cilantro, minced meat, fresh prawns and oysters. Covering the ingredients with another spoonful of batter, Mdm Hoon sprinkles some peanuts on top and send them for a deep-frying session in hot oil. Her husband has been helping out at the stall recently as he helps to explain this old school snack to tourists. Biting into these oyster cakes sure brings back some childhood memories. Each oyster cake is chock-full of ingredients and I like that it is crispy on the outside, yet soft on the inside. Don’t forget to add some chilli sauce to make it better!
