Don't be fooled by their strange greyish kaya. It was the best kaya I have ever had. It had a strong coconut but mild pandan flavour, and had the right amount of sweetness. Even the bf who isn't the biggest fan of kaya, liked their version. Also, I was thoroughly impressed by how consistent they were with their eggs. Every egg we had were almost exactly the same, with slightly more solid whites and runny yolks, best for dipping my toast in. Each toast set with 2 eggs and a hot drink costs $4.90.
Fluffy steamed bread with generous amount of kaya and butter. Soft boiled eggs cooked just right without being overdone nor raw.
Cute place for a cuppa local kopi/teh - inviting decor, alright food (large portions), lukewarm service crew. Nice change in the recently refurbished Chinatown Point, popular hangout for the Chinatown uncles and aunties too ;)
PRICE: $3
SPECIAL LOVE FOR:
The fact that the elderly owners steam the carrot cake themselves!
Nice touch of spiciness and the right amount of chyepoh
WILL WE RETURN? Yessss

Egg filling was silky smooth, super moist, and not overly sweet. That crust? Genius! Cripsy - like 1 crisp layer, not the pastry-messy kind. Like a mix between traditional and pastry crust. .
A bit more expensive than ur typical hawker center one, but promise u it worth every cent.

Cause I gymmed, I deserve this okay. Hahaha, dam shiok though! This stall (Cantonese Delights) is always popular, even on a quiet Sunday like today.
The sauce almost seem contradictory β light yet gao and full of flavour, it's a curry sauce you won't get sick of. And for $4? That giant slab of chicken was awesome with its crisp skin and tender meat. Only gripe is the slightly overlooked veg, but hey, you aren't eating this for the greens anyway. π€·ββοΈ
One of the best Traditional Kaya Toasts I've had! Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, the toast crumbles gently in your mouth on first bite. The combination of orange Kaya and butter is a winner for me. Not too eggy nor too sweet, the Orange Kaya helps to bring out the buttery goodness, sending much delight to the tastebuds. And the Teh C here is the most fragrant, tastefully pulled to bring out the lovely aftertaste of the carnation milk. Please take the effort to come down here for breakfast, I promise it won't disappoint!

My family got to know this stall because of the owner strong Hong Kong Ascent. Once we walked by this stall and overheard this uncle talking to his wife (auntie who helped to take order), my dad immediately identified with his strong ascent and decided to give this stall a try. .
|
Mountains of steam baskets stacked around the kitchen and only a little space leave at the counter for the uncle to make his dim sum. (Which reminded us so much of stalls in Hong Kong) .
|
They started preparing his dim sum from 6am and began selling from 11am. A trick we always did was to take a number card at 10am while we were having other stalls for breakfast. So by 11am, we would be the first few, and "tabao" them for tea break. When you are first time having their char siew bao, do be careful of the lava hot char siew filling. .

Side note: if you want to test the skill of the dim sum chef, order the three signature dim sum - char siew bao, har gau and siu Mai. #Hawkerpedia
It's such a great feeling when you randomly discover a stall that does a dish particularly well. For instance, just last evening, I came upon this Indian Rojak while looking to fuel up before hitting the Singapore Night Festival.
Tucked away in "Nan Tai Eating House" which is located on the ground floor of Blk. 261 Waterloo Street, "Sabeena Indian Food" seems like a pretty ordinary stall at first glance. When you look around the place however, its popularity is apparent because there're so many customers who're happily eating their Indian Rojak. I didn't hesitate to follow suit and was blown away by the scrumptiousness of their rendition. Love that the hawker gave all the fried items I picked a quick fry in hot oil before chopping them up for serving. The freshly crisped finish makes a big difference between "meh" and "mmmmmm". If you like cuttlefish, the one here is tasty, spicy and not too rubbery. Much better than most of the others I've had elsewhere. Their gravy looks kind of ordinary but it paired perfectly with everything on the plate.
I may be slow but this is my first time getting the box of mixed [$11], which includes flavours such as original, longan, peanut, grass jelly, red bean, ginkgo nut and egg white. It's definitely great for sharing and it's only a dollar more from a box of original ones.
Definitely a dish to order to accompany whatever main dish that you've ordered in Adam Road Food Center. You start by selecting your choice ingredients that will be chucked into a deep fryer to be crisped up and hot for your eating pleasure. Watch as the guy skillfully chops them up without looking, before plating it up with some green chilli, red onions, cucumbers, and that awesome dipping sauce.
My order is pretty standard which consist of 2 red prawn crackers (highly recommended), tao guah and fishcake for $6.50.
