"Meticulously grilled to crispy perfection and stuffed generously with crunchy bean sprouts and sliced cucumber, Tiong Bahru Market’s Tow Kwar Pop makes for the perfect snack in between meals," says Tastemaker Vanessa Kou. And she's right. At this stall, the beancurd puff is painstakingly grilled over charcoal. Choose to get a few pieces of the tow kwar pop tossed with some fresh fruit for $3, or go for the full rojak set for $4 or $5. Tastemaker Jean Kao loves that they use sweeter red apples in the mix, compared to the tart green apples most rojak stalls prefer, along with thin and crispy crackers that add a lovely crunch. While Tastemaker Jean wishes the owner had been more generous with the prawn paste sauce, Tastemaker Vanessa appreciates that it doesn't overpower the dish, so you can taste how all the ingredients come together.
Avg Price: $5 per person
