I barely take notice of the lanes opposite Bugis Junction that seems to be a great discovery ground for foodie gems. Perpetually crowded from the time I started queuing for a table, to getting one and finally leaving the place. It's never quite short of hungry patrons. For a start, Xin Yuan Ji once from the humble beginnings of a hawker center.
Fried Fish Meat Soup ($5.50)
This was what made them famous in the first place. Milk or clear broth and you have a choice of fish used. They ran out of the more premium cuts and left with only dory. Thought it was ordinary though, nothing extraordinary not overly fragrant.
Baby Kailan ($8.80)
A tad too oily.
Fragrant Spicy Pork Ribs ($13.80)
Well marinated with crispy edges and meaty cuts. Appetizing enough with just plain rice though spicy was missing.
Affordable hawkerfare in the comfort of airconditioned surroundings.
