I'm not usually a fan of hokkien mee, but this pot of goodness is awesome! Noodles fried in thick, flavorful seafood gravy and topped with crispy roasted pork and pork lard, it's one of the better ones I've tried. $10 portion is good for 3, 2 if you're really hungry; they're also pretty generous with the prawns and roasted pork!
Here's a plate of all our favorite breakfast items; Fresh Eggs Scrambled, Bacon and Waffle with maple syrup at only $13 is such a good deal.
I can now understand why the Punggolers were so proud of their neighborhood. The serenity and view here are amazing balls.
Jin Tian Eating House 香港锦田, (55 Zion Road) serve arguably one of the best roast meats in Singapore. We love the friendly service of the owner and his staff speaking in fluent Cantonese.
Had a plate of twin roast meat rice, wanton noodles and a generous bowl of dumpling soup at only $12. Might not be the most authentic HK roast we had, but with the friendly pricing we are not complaining.
Until I dropped by this hawker centre in the middle of a Saturday afternoon, I have never not seen "Ah Hui Handmade Fishball Noodle" stall without a long queue. So I grabbed the opportunity and got a $4.50 portion of their "No. 1" which is noodles plus a mix of their handmade fish paste creations and minced pork. Everything about this dish passed with flying colours for me. The items made with the fish paste were fresh and bouncy, the minced pork was lean and clean-tasting, while the "meepok" was simply sublime. I think they use a slightly flatter type of "meepok" and it came tossed in a tastily balance sauce of pork lard oil, chilli sambal, black vinegar and soya sauce. So here comes the billion dollar question: would I join the queue in the future to have this again? Yes, I would 😄
Ah Hui Handmade Fishball Noodle is located at stall number 16 inside Balestier Hawker Centre.
Absolutely deserving of the accolades they have gotten in the local press, the two kinds of "bao" I had here were awesome. To be frank, I am not into "bao" all that much but these big ones, served straight from the steamer, had an unbelievably soft, fluffy and weightless dough, and fillings that're worthy of praise.
The mouthwatering "kong bak" used to be a slab of pork belly but it transformed into something only a pair of adjectives can do justice to: tenderness + stickiness.
A worthy rival, the oddly-shaped vegetarian "chye bao" contained chunky strips of turnip and some carrot plus what looked like specks of ground black pepper. But guess what? They're actually minute bits of chilli padi. Nope, I'm not kidding.

This famous stall is known for the freshness of their "yong tau fu" and wonderfully sweet soup. If you like soya beans like me, you can ask for more to be added and they won't hesitate to scoop a heaping spoon of it into your bowl of soup or noodles. A generous pile of crispy "ikan bilis" is always added on top of each order too, but only if you want it (they always check first). Which brings me to the icing on the cake about this stall. It is their genuinely warm and friendly service that makes them a true winner in my eyes and it's probably why you always see so many smiling customers here.
The Salted Caramel Banana French Toast ($16) turned traditional breakfast into a really yummy dessert. Served with caramelized bananas, this is definitely for sweet tooth.

I love that this tiny Thai Boat Noodles eatery, located at B1-08 of Golden Mile Complex, offers you choices for noodles, meats and soups. It's lots of fun to mix and match them to discover how each combination tastes. Based on my experience eating three completely different permutations, I can conclude they are all lip-smackingly delicious in spite of their mini size! 😋
To order, your first step is to select from silky-soft kway teow, beehoon or glass noodles (the kind used to fry "pad thai"). Next you take your pick of meats from fresh beef, braised beef (this is superb), beef liver, meatball, fresh pork, pork liver and pork ball. You can have a mix of up to three as long as they're from the same meat family. Last comes the soup of which they have three types: a Special Soup (made from beef and pork), Tom Yam and a clear one. If preferred, you can always opt to have your noodles "dry" instead. The waitress then checks if you want your noodles spicy or not. I recommend that you go for the former if you can handle chilli because theirs is really fragrant and potent.
In the corner of the shop sits a neat arrangement of raw beansprouts and a type of green Thai vegetable that you can help yourself to. What a cool way to add a refreshing crunch to the noodles.
Apart from the mini bowls, the noodles also come in bigger/normal portions that cost about $5 each. A small selection of other dishes such as stewed pork trotters and grilled meatballs are also listed in the menu.
Here is something different from the usual prawn pastas done "aglio olio" style. Theirs is cooked in a garlic cream sauce that's quite unique. It has lots of sweetness from the sautéed white onions and a quiet heat from chilli padi to balance off the heaviness. However, I think it would've been tastier with a touch more salt, and the spagetti could be more "al dente". Then again, I guess there are customers who like it this way.
Because this is a dish that can be very filling, it's suitable for those with big appetites.
Dusted with powdered sugar, its crusty exterior holds true to a chewy doughy center of an epic donut. Dip, no wait, dunk it—entirely—into warm molten lava chocolate before surrendering to dessert ecstasy. Mark our words, we'll be back for more. 🍕💕
