Although I’m happy to hear that PUTIEN decided to preserve this heritage name, what I’m not sure is that whether they are doing it correctly.

Since PUTIEN taken over the name and reopened opposite the original stall in this cosy air-conditioned restaurant, many people has leave comments that wasn’t so positive about it.

Firstly, Sam Leong Street Chicken Rice stall has a long history serving affordable chicken rice in this area. But now PUTIEN making it into a fast food style of restaurant, I just don’t see it a good way to elevate the legacy of what it used to be.

The portion is really lacking for the price we are paying now, and even worst when they decided to use disposable cutlery. It totally brings down the appetite for many people, imagine you would keep tasting the paper as you eating the chicken and soup.

Thankfully the chicken rice itself still okay, but definitely not when you have to pay for such higher fare and of course you would expecting a much better delights.

The individual set I gotten already cost me past $10, which is consider much enough to fill my tummy. This individual set allows you to try both poached and roasted chicken at once, or you can just grab one with 2 portions. Accompanied by a side and soup. Drink is not included for this individual set unfortunately.

The soup also comes with pieces of herbs chicken and mushroom. And for side, I gotten the beancurd.

It was almost empty when I came on weekday dinner time, wondering whether they can survive long enough to preserve this legacy. I hope so if they can make those changes to suit what most people would want it to be.

This famous noodles stall has been serving this neighbourhood for many years and continue to going strong until today.

Even I only reach here around 2pm on weekdays, the tables here are still mostly occupied.

Went for their fortune pork balls and it was so satisfying, as the meatballs are filled with ingredients inside.

The black sauce go well with the handmade ban mian, as well as the dried anchovies, minced meat and veggie.

If you ordered the dry version, then the soup will be provided separately in a bowl. Very interesting to see at the viscous texture on the soup and guess what, the egg yolk that you usually find with ban mian is actually hidden inside the soup.

Oh ya, I strongly encourage you to add the chili to your noodle and mix to elevates the overall taste.

It is interesting to find a 24 hours operating ramen shop at where I’m staying in Ang Mo Kio, considering this neighbourhood a little walk away from AMK Central.

While I’m not sure whether there’s really people coming past midnight for supper, but it is definitely a cosy and air-conditioned space to enjoy a bowl of warm ramen.

Although it is so near to my house, i only found a good time to visit today to grab my lunch.

You need to make your order at the self-service kiosk that located outside the shop, before you proceed to your seat inside and wait for your order number to be called.

I went for something unusual, choosing the duck meat ramen this time. The duck meat is tender, soup is tasty, springy noodle and egg. A comforting meal I would say.

If you love eating different part of pork meat, you are in treat at this stall as they offered it.

So you could expect pork intestines, liver and meat, together with few pieces of prawn.

I love the amount of fried shallots that added to my bowl of noodles. Go with the dry version and you can mix them all together with the sauce and chili.

I could see why some people actually don’t like this stall, as it don’t have the wok hey that you would expecting here.

The noodles absorbed the prawn broth, added with garlic and pork lard for the taste. I would say the taste itself is sadly not strong enough but at least wasn’t too tasteless.

So you definitely want to add on the lime and chili paste. Then you could really enjoy much of it that comes with prawns, pork belly, egg and squid.

Also I found that the way the egg added is interesting here, as you get almost a complete pieces of egg as you eat. Unlike the usual where most stall cooked the egg together with the noodle and become tiny pieces.

While Joo Chiat is popular for the cafes and restaurants around, it doesn’t stop people going for something local.

Here at one of the corner shops along Joo Chiat Road is this coffee shop, where you would find a sneaking long queue in front of this stall; especially over the weekends.

Everyone on the line waiting patiently for their turn to make orders, and then head back to your table to wait for them to serve you your orders.

Although you can’t request for refill of soup, but I can understand why there’s such requests considering how robust the taste of the broth that is so rich and tasty.

I would really suggest to go with the dry version, so you can have a bowl of the broth separately to enjoy it.

The pork ribs are tender and delicious, as well as for the prawns. Love that they have added some pork lards.

This coffee shop has recently bought over by a new owner and renamed to KopiWU. Thankfully some of the old stalls remained to operate with this new owner.

One of it would be this stall called the Signature Curry. A food stall specialise for their curry, but also offer some other Asian style of dishes as well.

I love their curry, which is very rich and spicy. You can choose to go with the rice or bread.

The curry chicken is tender and enjoyable, comes with some potatoes.

Everyone should be familiar with this place as they opened a few outlets across the city and you could easily find them in many shopping malls.

Serving authentic Teochew style of fishball noodles in shopping malls. I’m glad they managed to prepare the dish perfectly without anything to complain.

Right texture for the noodle, flavourful broth and springy fishball to enjoy.

Sandakan may not a top tourist spot on many of our travel lists, considering it wasn’t a main city of Sabah. Most people usually come here for their nature attractions.

You may don’t have the opportunity to visit this city, but don’t worry as you now get to try on one of their popular food from Sandakan right here in Singapore.

Thanks for Food Republic for bringing it to our shore, you can enjoy this traditional fried pork dish from Sandakan.

Really enjoy much of these pieces of crunchy fried pork on the top of noodles. And interestingly they come with some you tiao as well. But I find the you tiao a bit dry on its own.

If you can eat a lot, I strongly recommend you to grab their noodle set that comes with century egg dumplings soup and iceberg lettuce with oyster sauce to complete your meal here. Note that the dumplings sold out when I’m here so it was replaced with pork balls instead.

You get lucky as you enjoying a decent plate of wanton noodle from this stall.

A simple meal with chewy texture of noodle, topped with slices of char siew and veggie, Accompanied by a bowl of soup with pieces of wanton.

There’s nothing better than this to begin your day.

Low Seng Kim stall only sells 2 things on the menu, so you choose from either mee rebus or mee siam.

A perfect breakfast spot at this hawker centre, as they opened from early 6am till 2pm.

Many people come here for their Nyonya style of mee siam. A simple dish but packed with taste.

I love the gravy so much I finish the whole thing. A balance of sweetness and sourness as you mixed everything together, after you squeezing the lime.

You may find it confusing when there’s 2 stalls here that sell the same things. Well, there’s some story behind this reason but I’m not going to explain it here.

Both also attracted queues, but I found most older people would still queueing for this stall; as compared to the another stall with younger people.

Amigo is famous for their noodles dishes, such as this chicken chop hor fun.

Comes with generous of braised gravy that covered the hor fun, then topped with pieces of chicken chop.

I actually enjoy much of the hor fun with tender chicken chop. An interesting combination for a wonderful meal.
