Hawker Hunting!

Just like Singapore's famed chicken rice dish.. I've always been fascinated with Yong Tau Foo stalls with their colourful displays of veggies and mouthwatering baked/ fried items!
.
.
.
But, since it always looked like a self-serve and not knowing the language, I kept waiting for someone who's familiar with their ingredients and process to take me there! Finally I went and it was such a simple process.. .

This place is so famous that we reached at 11:45 and there was a long queue but we did manage to find seating! Wait in the queue, pick up a bowl and a tong and start picking your options - There is SO much to choose from.. Fishcakes, baked tofu, stuffed brinjals with fishcakes/ tofu (I think?!), sausages, eggs, bean curd skins, wontons, tomatoes, greens.. Once you're done filling your bowl with the goodies, head over to the payment stall where they cook your items to your preference (soup version or dry which is actually mixed with their sauce so this is not literally dry as well) and tell them your choice of noodles! Till the time you pay and want to move along the queue, your bowl is ready to be devoured.

This bowl was so comforting and felt so healthy.. The sauce was very flavourful, the noodles were springy and all other veggies and wontons etc. were nicely cooked and flavoured with the generous sauce in the bowl. Overall, a very comforting bowl which again makes you feel good and totally not guilty! Plus, I'm over the mystery of a Yong Tau Foo stall. Hooray! 😝

Had lunch with a few Singaporean colleagues and I insisted that they take me to a good Chicken Rice place! I've been waiting for 8 months - for a chance to get good Chicken Rice because first impression is the last impression! This was probably the nearest one from our office.
.
.
.
This was gooooooood.. I had expected it to be quite bland.. But even without the sauce and the green chillies - it was pretty tasty.. Gobbled it up in minutes.. So excited that now I can just hop in and experiment with Chicken Rice!
.

By the way, we entered sometime before 12, queue had just begun to form! But when we left around 1 - the queue had snaked up to the stairs to the 1st floor!! So glad we went early!! Also, the first floor is jussssst seating! No need to chope if you reach early! .

A simple comforting meal of rice with salted egg chicken! This dish is seen on every table, in multiples (every single time I've been there.. So definitely legit)
Options to add a fried egg (+0.5) or even upgrade to get more chicken (+2.5) Needless to say, I always get the upgrade 😍😝 #burpple #burpplesg #tastegood #simlimsquare #singapore
