Carrying on from my previous post about the newly revamped Plaza Singapura's Kopitiam, this time I tried one of the bigger names here, Michelin Bib Gourmand recipient for 4 consecutive years (2016 β 2019) @shihuiyuan.sg.
The first thing that I realised about the Hor Fun here is that it is not the kind that I envision it to be, the noodles here are thinner and longer, reminiscent of those seen in a bowl of Ipoh Hor Fun. The gravy is also less thick, making it easy to drink, akin to a soup that is packed full of flavours. This is due to a recipe containing over 30 herbs and chicken and duck meat and bones. The gravy is supposedly brewed for over 30 years. I opted for the duck drumstick hor fun and it was super good! The meat is fall off the bone kind of tender and soaked up the gravy really well. This also came with a side of mushrooms and vegetables and even though the mushrooms are a side here, they are so good that they are a star in their own right; you can order a mushroom hor fun instead if mushrooms are your kind of poison. To elevate the dish, try it with some of their homemade chilli as well.
I would recommend that you give this stall a try if you are a hor fun fan and if you are not, I urge you to give this a try too. It might just change your mind about the dish!
Have you visited the revamped Kopitiam at Plaza Singapura? Itβs filled with a collection of Michelin food stalls and some familiar favourites. Amongst them is Ah Ma Chi Mian, which have taken the Singaporean hawker scene by storm, with at least 9 outlets today.
I ordered the Specialty Pork Liver (Dry) since this is one of my favourite dishes and I have heard good things about it! Each piece of liver was cooked to perfection! I have seen it being compared to the texture of foie gras online and this description isnβt an overstatement. It has to be said this a bit pricey though for a kopitiam meal but it is worth every cent, with its flavour and texture on point as well as the sheer amount of ingredients contained within. Order an additional bowl of to complete your meal β‘Μ
The chicken soft and tender.
The chicken skin was soft and juicy.
But portion damn small la.
Total $8 with additional sio bak

Tasty tender duck meat over savoury fluffy rice.
Surrounded salted vegetables, taukwa, braised egg and blanched vegetables.
Highly recommended!
Not the Indonesian BBQ stall (I've tried that, and yes it's pretty good), but from the Ayam Penyet stall further inside the Kopitiam. I think I found my new fav ayam bakar, like finallly!!! So damn good! The marination of the chicken...omg. I can eat it forvever! Gotta go back there soon!
Super yummy and value for money!! Love the tomato egg fish especially π they give big portions and definitely satisfied my cravings π
Fishball noodles ($3.50)
Meepok and ingredients were all quite nice. Only thing is there was alot of garlic beneath which I didn't like.
Eating clean doesnβt have to be a costly thing. This packet of cai png at Kopitiam just costs me $4 (a good $3.40 after Kopitiam card discount) & I have all my carbs & vegetables covered! ππ»ππ»ππ» This includes a top-up of $0.40 for brown rice - quite glad to find this option at the cai png stall! Looks like many Singaporeans are becoming more & more health-conscious! π

As I was expecting a long day ahead, I chose some pumpkin to make it an even more filling meal. π― Although I wished they were softer & more fragrant (like the ones that my mum makes at home with dried shrimps), I simply love the natural earthy sweetness of the pumpkin.Β πππ Add on some stir-fried cabbage & soft spinach, this made a nutritious & fulfilling meal indeed! π

Looks like I will be patronising this cai png stall frequently for my #eatclean challenge! β
That's a lot of greens resting on the star of the show. Unfortunately it's not that starry. Edible but not on the level of authentic Chinese.
πΈ$4.40
Less brown rice, pumpkin, ηͺθηθ and cauliflower with broccoli. Everything is surprisingly yummy! Esp the egg. The chilli paste is too acidic for my liking so I finished all the green chilli instead
one of the popular stall at the foodcourt. The fried chicken has crispy skin and the piece is large. We like the lady fingers.
The braised pork unfortunately was too hard and rubbery. We saw other dishes which look nice too.
This set cost around $8. A bit pricey for food court price. Rating 7/10
Decided to change and not eat caifan today and saw that the seafood + fish maw braised rice was on offer today at $5.80. The gravy had a tinge of herbal taste and the egg fried rice added to the taste. Very good. Coming back again for lunch next time!

Price: $2.80
Not the best I've tried but still very worth each and every cent because it was such a huge bowl and they were very generous with their fresh mango cubes.
So if you're shopping in Plaza Singapura or even around the vicinity, and needed a cheap dessert to relieve the sores from all those walking; Do drop by and cool yourself down with this Mango Milk Ice.
You know you'll never go wrong with Mango Milk Ice. π€

Price: $2.60
This Red Ruby is average. They did not drizzle on top of the dessert what i think was the key to a good Red Ruby - the Coconut Milk.
But they did however poured the coconut milk on the shaved ice, beneath the red ruby and sago. I think that really made a difference as the coconut milk taste was very mild which I didn't like as I like mine with a strong coconut milk flavour.
It was nevertheless value for money as it was a pretty huge bowl and it only costs $2.60. Kopitiam is definitely still one of the most affordable food places in Singapore.
This stall at the corner of the Kopitiam (closer to the carpark entrance) has been here for the longest time, and never fails to be my first choice when I eat in this food court. The massive chicken thigh is barbecued on the grill in front of the stall, before being dipped into the sweet sauce that completes it. Feel free to add some vegetables to complete the entire meal that comes with rice, egg and soup. More than enough to satisfy most hungry eaters!
Best Fish Soup I ever had. Everything taste the same since 2003 when I first came across this. The pinkish fish meat is soft and flavourful. The soup tasted so creamy from the milk in it. And FYI I'm not a fish or fish soup lover.. I usually eat fish soup only when I'm sick. So if what I deemed as a boring food wows me, trust me on it.
A great healthy one-dish meal. Doesn't quite work without chilli though.
My dinner from few evenings ago . It was my first time trying this stall selling this qq noodles from Taiwan . $4.50 . Love the texture of the noodles . U can have non spicy soup too . Or have the usual U mian instead of the qq noodles :)
Classic Ayam Panggang - been around for more than a decade while we were still wearing our school uniforms. #classic #timeless
