Local Eat SG

My apology to add this pic near midnight.😅 Wrap my Qiji exploring with this prawn popiah( my takeaway). No doubt this is their signature dish their popiah is filled with ingredients to the brim.) You can notice the whole prawn poking out in this one along with boiled egg and turnips. Slightly sweet and refreshing. Good on its own or you can even try it with DIY dipping.😚

@Qijisignaturesg is an old school eatery delivering local delicacies for decades. I want to check out their mee rebus some time and order the regular one to try. Their outlet in AMK is crowded with limited seating space like a music chair.🤯
Despite the queue number machine, I found myself puzzled that my number got call twice. Waited for 5 minutes and got my Mee Rebus bowl. The bowl has everything I wish for like tofu, egg, tiny prawn sprinkle, boiled egg, sliced green chilli, fried garlic, chopped coriander stem.👍😋 They use whole grain noodle making it a healthier choice. I particularly enjoy my mee rebus gravy as it is so flavorful (slightly sweet and salty with a kick of 🌶). Totally well worth it for this dish.

Want to check in this place for some time. I wouldn't pretend to know more than wanton mee fans so just put some facts about them here. 1) Their original wonton noodle shop is est. since 1985. 2) Their wonton mee is served in SIA 1st class & biz class ie. classified as iconic hawker food. With these 2 reasons, I just pop there and try it lor! 😉
👉 Noodle amount is generous, well coated with their sauce which I think is the highlight here (if you are into sweet nutty sauce). I am a savoury chilli type so not too swept away here. They give 2 pcs of #wontons (not tightly wrapped) with decent amount of char siew for this wonton noodle dry dish (menu 1). They also treat their veggie right (crunchy & not soggy meh). Maybe better try their crispy fried wonton as a snack next time!💡

📍 Gourmet Paradise (HDB hub)

This is the set to go for if you love Otah and super generous Peanuts! 🥜😲 I used to live in Novena and frequent this stall. Now I still come back for a Nasi Lemak refill from time to time. The sambal chilli here is quite sweet but you can really offset that with their fried egg and thick slab of Otah + the coconut gragrant rice + 2 Slices of cucumber and I am in my element! 😌🍃🥥

When you want slightly sour & tangy soup for brunch, this is the one. The junction 8 outlet's got an outdoor seating. Slurping this mee siam along with sipping Teh O warm my tummy with a bit of chilli & tamarind. The ingredients (shredded chicken, vermicelli noodle, boiled egg, Puffed Tofu) are packed and filling for a person. I might come back to check out their ondeh Ondeh toast set ($5.80) later.😋

As a big fan of Vadai and Idli, we eye this stall for a long time. They are the original creator of the ever popular "Prawn Vadai", the prawn centered Vadai with the fresh green chilli munch! 🌶🥯 🤤

As i have to pick up someone at airport, so why not try this at B2 Jewel? 😉 Their shop is tucked in the food corner near the Food Republic. My order is 2×Prawn Vadais ($1.90), 1 Grago Vadai ($1.90), 1 Vege Vadai ($1.50) p.s. Grago = shrimp paste. The guy gave me 5 chillis as if he could guess I am heavy in chilli department. 😆
.
I kept these Vadais in my bag until I am back from Jewel (bad practice better eat while it's hot). Thanks to my oven 180 degree 2 mins, I can have them hot & crispy again. They are super! Prawn vadai is a must, vege vadai also good for green munchers. The grago one doesnt like to be reheated so make sure you dont leave it too long in the oven. All in all, I will repeat my order if i want to indulge. 😌🔥
.
🐡 Feedback for the shop: it's quite put off to see hot drink like masala tea for $3 although it is not the only shop we spot this price for drink (saw Teh Tarik at Pita Tree for the same price) but might be better to do some promo offer by pairing Vadai for your customers, don't you think? 🤔 #heritageshop #prawnvadai #localeat

🤓 The size is varied according to the price they set for the day ($1.90 -$2.20). They sell this small glutinous rice block in a plastic bag. Taste similar to bak zhang sans meat. It's slightly salty with a small prawn and 🍄 throughout texture. Portion is quite small (kueh size)

If ever first visit in the noodle shop, I always opt for dry noodle instead of soup one as the soup version requires serious skill to pull off. This dry la mian tastes on point with the dark gravy chicken sauce. They also give 2 fried wantons, 2 crab sticks, fried garlic & anchovies topping. It's a decent noodle bowl with no dull moment on texture. Not so spicy as per dish name... I suppose that I should try Mala one next! 😏🌶🌶🔥

A second stall in Junction 8 that I tried upon seeing the queue. The queue is longer than the Sister Kim Korean stall but maybe because it has no Q number calling. Smelling some wok hey aroma. Portion looks good. Time to count ingredients (small prawn ×2, sausage plenty) + beansprout, egg and kway teow. Palateable & well coated with sauce noodle. Back to clean mode this weekend 💪

Yong Tow Foo game here is strong! Picking laksa with laksa noodle and the broth is so thick & slurpilicious.
Generous with noodle also, well worth it! 👍

Slurpilicious with 2 noodle types and packed with ingredients like fish cake, pork & 2 prawns. Prefer them to put individual price item on display rather than a set price though.
.
@toastboxsg did a great job for this new creative dish (no need to put any condiments, the soup is tasty on its own. Hope to see them permanently on the menu and clearer price display.
.
Let's see what we will try next! 🐡

Praised by HungryGoWhere as “one of 12 Best Mee Pok in Singapore” and ieatandeat as “Best Mee Pok in Singapore”, this is in our wishlist for some time. The famous Guan’s Bak Chor mee outlets from their original outlet in Maxwell Hawker have sprung up islandwide. We tried the one at Food opera in Ion Orchard. The stall has a pretty decent queue (not too long compared to Li Xin) perfect for our quick lunch takeaway!! 😜
.
You know that it’s Guan’s BCM right away as you will find fish maw. Other ingredients like pork belly, minced pork, a hugh pork ball and pork lard are generous. 🤤 We find the sauce quite little and not as bold as other BCM but we just love the convenience, waiting time and generosity of ingredients.(add $1 for tamago half boiled egg) or go full steam on seafood and pay$10. Stay tuned for more of our fun eats!! 😁🤘
