This was a convenient option at the Singapore Flyer
and since I have not patronized it in a while, I thought it will be
nice to take that walk down memory lane once again. Nostalgia always
works for me, proven over and over again.
Bedok Beef Kway Tiao
$10
for a plate of beefy cuts – tripe, beefballs, tendon and sliced beef on
a bed of pickled vegetables. Nothing too special yet decent.
Chinatown Ann Chin Popiah
While they retained their $2 per roll pricing, they failed to capture the same magic that worked for their Chinatown outlet.
Ang Mo Kio Yong Heng Fried Baby Squid Hokkien Mee
Hardly blown away by their lacklustre dull looking
plate of hokkien mee. Undoubtedly fresh prawns used but I felt the pinch
forking out 5 buckeroos for this. I’ve certainly had better elsewhere.
Old Airport Road Satay Beehoon and Satay Celup
Possibly the only stall that maintained their standards. Irresistible thick peanut gravy together with a generous amount of pork slices, prawns, bean sprouts and most definitely liver. All else fails and I only take liver in this dish. If I may add, only Old Airport Road’s too.
Sin Ming Road Rong Chen Bak Kut Teh
Watery and hardly the fiery punch bak kut teh pepper soup is supposed to provide, I say this was disappointing too.
Top 73+1 Handmade Fishball Noodles
Fishballs like durian fudge cake falls in the same
category – I do not like it in the pre-processed form but the variations
of the real thing is somewhat acceptable. Hardly do I fancy fish balls –
the taste is artificial and too bouncy
for comfort. It could be the numerous cases of choking on fish balls
that gives me the chills. This was fresh and really large. Fishcakes
were decent too and the shellfish was exceptionally tasty.
Whampoa Ngoh Hiang Prawn Cracker
I love my ngoh hiangs and pink pork rolls..this was not too bad either! The pink sauce was too sweet.
Some call it a tourist trap, I say the attempt to
unite the best of hawkers is laudable yet the original stores always
shine too brightly to emulate. Visit their main stores to get the real
deal, otherwise just brush these aside as mediocre
attempts.
