I Heart The Heartlands :)

Roasted over the charcoal fires. Served with the quintessential savoury spicy peanut sauce. Complete with an undressed salad on the side. Who knew the deconstructed kebab would be such a hit? #sgfoodies #instafood #pork #hawkerpedia #hawkers #satay #food #foodgasm #foodporn #foodstagram #burpple #sgmakandiary #8dayseat #instafood

I have this every other time I'm at maxwell. Why not every time? Because every other time it's sold out! :( but then that just makes me savour it all the more when they have it. And just as luck would have it, this was their last serving for the day! Someone's heard my pleas for a good end to a terrible day. Their Shanghai Nian Gao with seafood.
This is the small portion at $4.
It isn't big on seafood.
But that isn't the main star of this dish.
Their sliced nian gao is and it shines through.
Delightfully chewy yet easily digestible.
The gravy is lightly seasoned and encapsulates wonderfully umami seafood flavours within that makes one want to finish up every last drop of this!
Seafood hor fun is my favourite cze char dish but it's definitely taking a backseat to this. #burpple #hawkerpedia #shanghai #foodporn #savoury

A three dollar bowl and twenty minutes of waiting. It must be good. Because everyone queues. There are two stalls there and both of them have equally long queues. My companion wanted a dry version so we had this stall so that I could order both versions. To be honest, I'd rather have my minced pork mushroom version but everyone that comes home to SG would never say no to a bcm visit to Fengshan market or better known as Bedok 85 :) there's just a certain taste of home in this bowl of minced pork noodles! #burpple #hawkerpedia #supper

A mainstay at Sembawang hills food centre, this Chinese version of a wrap has everything I love for a lighter dinner option. Piping hot and thick cuts of yam bean thoroughly infused with the gravy, crunchy vegan bean crisps and fresh crunchy bean sprouts, my only gripe would be that the thinly sliced preserved sausage count has decreased to just -one- slice per roll. Oh my! But it always helps that the lady boss at the stall is always ready with a smile. And because she knows that if I'm packing extra rolls, it's definitely for my grandparents whom she also knows, she'll always make it a point to bring it over to me when she sees that I'm almost done with my meal. How's that for customer service! :) #hawkerpedia #burpple

Save the 1 hr 40 minute flight, and simply take a ride down to Changi Village for a taste of Ipoh! Mum works for an airline, and she always talks about how much we save by getting our Ipoh hor fun cravings sorted in Singapore, rather than having to take a flight. We never fail to remind her that coming ALL the way to Changi Village feels like we should just go a little further, hit the airport, and jump on the next flight out to Ipoh! For every weekend that my brother has to book into camp by 23:59, this hor fun has been my family's choice of supper just before we send him back to Hendon Camp. Many patrons order the pork chop hor fun, and you can call me boring, but I stick to my choice of the original Ipoh hor fun. Aside from the generous toppings and slippery, thin, flat rice noodles, we love every bit of that rich sauce made from old mother hens! Old is gold, just like they do in the original Ipoh store. We usually get two plates of the original Ipoh hor fun to share between the five of us, because we always make sure to leave some space for the red tea longan dessert with IQ balls! Sometimes, we would get one original and one pork chop hor fun, but this will always be met with distaste by my "no fried food" Commando brother :p NS for the boys is tough, but NS for my family is a happy duty for us all! :) These suppers certainly make the book-ins for my brother a little easier with a happy tummy! #hawkerpedia

With two shoplots and very efficient staff, this place makes ordering and dealing with starvation/ salivation a breeze to manage. For the cheat days where I want to indulge myself, this is my go-to choice of sin after every single dragonboat race at Bedok reservoir for the past three years. The oysters are plump and fresh. The eggs part crisp and part fluffy. It makes for one whole of deliciousness! But don't order the oyster omelette because what you will get is a thick folded omelette with the oysters on top and a gravy which needs an acquired taste generously slathered on top. We learnt our lesson. Once bitten twice shy never ever gonna try :p so remember to make an order for orh luak or orh jian. If you do forget, show this picture for reference! :) #hawkerpedia #heartlands

And she went for gold! The braised meats here at lao san are tender and the layer of fat simply melts away in one's mouth. Getting my iron fix here with the lean meat, liver and salted vegetable soup here. A life saver during my closed jaw reduction. After my accident, I had my mouth wired shut and dad bought this soup for me to drink every other day to make sure I kept my iron levels up. :) I don't know about the best kway chap around in SG but this one's my family's pick! #instasg #instafood #igsg #burpple #hawkerpedia #heartlands #pork #foodgasm #foodporn #foodstagram #sgfoodie #onthetable #openrice #8dayseat
