Hainanese Village Centre

From Wang Wang. Old-school wanton mee from elderly couple. Basic char siew but fantastic wantons.

From Quan Ji. Very fragrant. Can return.

This humble stall has been operating even before 2012, with locals returning time and again for their tasty desserts, friendly service, and affordable pricing.
.
Their version differs more than any other, with the fig seed gel (derived from the seeds of the awkeotsang creeping fig) moulded into an accordian-shape rather than the traditional slices.
.
This wobbly aiyu jelly is then placed over, rather than under, the smooth shaved ice, drizzled with lime juice and a simple sugar syrup. The juicy diced fruit cocktail (pear, pineapple, peach, cherry, green grapes, nata de coco) sits around it.
.
Carries enticing honeyed earthy floral fruity sweet sour zesty tangy flavour, yummy.

Love white carrot cake? Give Hup Huat White Carrot Cake (02-35) a try when you’re at Hainanese Village Food Centre. Only serving white carrot cake, it’s presented differently from your typical carrot cake as it’s cooked in squares, has a pancake like thickness and presented in a flower shape.

The homemade carrot cake cubes are soft and you can actually taste the radish itself. I noticed the cubes are relatively tiny compared to the ones you can find elsewhere.

The carrot cake is well coated with eggs. In fact the egg is pan fried till crispy and nicely coats the carrot cake cubes. And this gives it a nice oomph. This is different from most carrot cake where the egg is cooked till fluffy and doesn’t shape the flavour profile of the dish.

We added chilli sauce to the carrot cake for a spicer touch. As the chilli is well spread throughout the dish, I felt it blended too well into the dish and couldn’t taste it. Perhaps it isn’t too spicy for me to make a difference.

There’s a queue number system in place and you got to wait for a good 15-20 minutes at most. It’s a good carrot cake but I wouldn’t make the special journey out to Hainanese Village for this.
