Chinese Traditional Soup

Chinatown Foodcentre Lao Huo Tang (Chinese Soup)



This stall sells a variety of chinese traditional soup such as apple and pear pork ribs soup, lotus root pork ribs soup , old cucumber pork ribs soup, gingko pork tripe pepper soup, chinese yam wolberries pig tail soup and buddha jump over the wall soup
Their secret is in that they boil their soups over charcoal fire.

I have tried the lotus root pork ribs soup and the gingko pork tripe pepper soup. Their soup tasted awesome. It is fragrant, rich, thick and really flavorful but slightly saltish. I would definitely try their other soups in the future






Chee Cheong Fun & Yam cake

Chinatown Foodcentre Jia Jie Mei Shi  


This stall is famous for its chee cheong fun (rice noodle roll) and yam cake. It has many other items like fried beehoon, dumplings etc 



Chinatown Foodcentre Ah Lo Cooked Food




This stall sells only yamcake but the yamcake is so good, many people from far and wide know of this stall. Long queue usually are formed around 4-5pm









Fish Porridge

Maxwell Foodcentre Fish Porridge




This stall sells all kind of porridge such as meat, chicken, century egg and of course raw fish which is by far the most popular. Being in the heart of CBD area, long queue are expected and it usually starts to form at 10am.  But I don't like the porridge which is too stick. I prefer cantonese style porridge.  

The price here is reasonable. A plate of raw fish is only $2 and 50 cents for a bowl of plain porridge

This stall is famous for its chee cheong fun (rice noodle roll) and yam cake. It has many other items like fried beehoon, dumplings etc and sell raw fish too. A big plate of raw fish with a bowl of plain porridge only cost $4.

Bak Ku Teh

Hong Lim Foodcentre Morning Bak Ku Teh



Since this stall is in town, there is usually a queue on a weekday. I like the pig liver or bak ku soup to  go with rice. The soup here is black colour, must be they added dark soya sauce in the soup. In order to taste the softness & freshness of the pig liver and bak ku, the spices added and time to cook is important. I love the soup and would always go back for more. You order a pot of chinese tea and yutiao to go with your meal.





Pig Organ Soup

Jalan Besar Foodcentre Kelantan Pig Organ Soup 




The soup is tasty and thick with pepper and stock
A bowl contains quite a good few pieces of pig's innards and meat and is yummy too.  The chilli sauce is well concocted to go with the meat. I love to drink the soup




Lavendar Foodcentre Mun Chee Kee Pig Organ Soup 



The soup has a good portion of salted vegetable taste which gives a tanginess that offsets the piggy innards.

The braised intestines and preserved vegetable is yummy too. A great side dish to accompany the soup. The chilli sauce is well concocted to go with the meat.

I usually love to drink the soup and would go back for more soup



















Serangoon Garden Foodcentre Soon Huat Pig Organ Soup 


One of the best pig organ soup in Singapore !! Flavoursome soup without the taste of salted vegetableoverwhelming it. The stall sells delicious chinese herb braised pig trotter.The meat is surprisingly tender and succulent.

The chilli sauce is specially concocted to go well with the pig organ soup and piggy trotter.

Now, if only it is not so bad for the cholesterol.












Minced Meat Noodle

85 Bedok North Foodcentre Minced Meat Noodle


Expect a very long wait here. The soup is great and serve piping hot even when it reaches your table, that to me is very important for a good soupy noodle...real piping hot!!.                                       The reason the soup is good is because it is quite loaded with bar chor and it do not make you thirsty after drinking all the soup. The noodles are cooked just right, and  worth a try.                                     It is great for supper because the serving is not really big, but good for a supper snack, tasty, cheap and alright in serving. A bowl cost only $3, used to be only $2 few years back Indeed inflation has quietly creep up only over the last few years


There are many stalls sprouting up all over Singapore but there is nothing as authentic as this stall


 


Bak Chor Mee

Toa Payoh Lor6 Lai Heng Bak Chor Mee 



For those who like it hot, Lai Heng’s dry-tossed version serves up a powerful punch. The noodles are extremely springy, and pair very well with the spicy chilli, together with tasty stewed mushroom and succulent pork toppings. Moreover, the accompanying soup is sweet and clear. 


Hill Street Tai Hwa Bak Chor Mee 


This stall Bak Chor Mee is equally good and popular
It is addictive once you eat it you would come back again

Fish Soup

Amoy Street Foodcentre Han Kee Fish Soup


This stall fish soup not only healthy but tasty. Being in the heart of CBD area, the only drawback is the price

and long queue. This stall is probably one of the icons of Amoy Street Food Centre.  I suppose you would say that it's the best fish porridge in Singapore! That's why the price keep going up.
 
The owner told me that they used only good quality Knife Brand vegetable oil here and no pork lard.




Amoy Street Foodcentre Fish Soup


This stall at Level 1 is also very good with its variety of side dish such as fried fish










Amoy Street Foodcentre Piao Ji Fish Porridge



This stall is also very popular but the price is deep starting at $7 for a bowl of fish soup There have prawns, promfret fish etc










Hong Lim Foodcentre Chai Kee Fish Soup


This stall fish soup is very popular. Many people like to come here to eat the fish soup which is very fresh and tasty.  

I would think that this stall is as good as Han Kee fish soup in Amoy street














Teochew Fishball Mee

Bedok South Block 16 Hawker Centre Teohew Fishball Mee




Many people living in the East know about Hock Seng Choon Fishball Kway Teow Mee in Bedok South

The fishball here is the real stuff unlike many places which are artificial or fake stuff. The dry version is very popular as the chilli mixture is specially concocted. One bowl starts from $2.50 for soup and $3.00 for dry version.
Expect a long queue in the night




Amoy Street Food Centre Teohew Fishball Mee




I like this stall at Amoy Street foodcentre 2nd floor This stall is also very famous with office crowd
The fishball is chewy and bouncy texture. Expect a long queue during lunch time


Hainanese Chicken Rice



Maxwell Food Centre Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice


Tian Tian specializes in Hainanese white chicken rice and its chilli sauce

I enjoy eating at this stall but expect a long queue during lunch time as this place is near to offices 















Chinatown Food Centre Yuan Chun Hainanese Chicken Rice & RedHill Traditional Hainanese Chicken Rice



Both of these stalls at Chinatown foodcentre 2nd floor are equally good but most of my friends still prefer Tian Tian Chicken rice













Laksa

216 Bedok North Street 1 Hawker Centre Laksa





This stall laksa reminscences the one I tried at the old famous Sungei road trishaw laksa. The gravy is rich
and good, the noodle topped with cockles, an ingredient which is a must to me for a bowl of good laksa









Other good laksa location :

Famous Sungei Road Trishaw Laksa at  Hong Lim Food Centre  #02-66

Curry Chicken Noodle

Bedok Central Hawker Centre Hong Lim Curry Chicken Noodle


This curry noodle stall is very famous in Hong Lim Long queue are expected during lunch time as it is in CBD. I supposed due to its popularity, it has since franchised out and Bedok stall is one of them. It is equally good here though I still prefer the Hong Lim stall for its authentic taste. And, yes the chilli is their special concoction and it adds lots of zest to the bowl of curry noodle. The price has increased to $4 at Hong Lim and $3.50 at Bedok


Wanton Mee

Bedok South Block 16 Hawker Centre 

Ah SengWanton Mee



 Many people living in Katong know Ah Seng Wanton Noodles at Dunman market
The noodle is doncook just right and is topped with generous portion of dark char siew and vegetable. The chilli is also their signature item



Amoy Street Food Centre  Tai Seng Wanton Mee


This stall used to be popular because they were very generous with wanton, giving as much as 10 pieces for a $3 plate but has since reduce to 5 I find the quality has dropped too






Fried Kway Teow

Bedok South Block 16 Food Centre Hill Street Fried Kway Teow




This Fried Kway Teow stall is relocated from Hill Street. It was very famous there and of the course those staying in Bedok are delighted to have a plate of fried kway teow at their doorstep

Bedok Central Hawker Centre Teochew Braised Duck (Lo Ack/滷鸭) Rice and Kway Chap



This braised duck rice/kway chap stall is really good!! There are 3 types of chilli sauce which add lots of zest to the duck
