Local Delights

Had this chicken rice burger ($5.50) from @thehumbleburger and i seriously LOVED IT. In this innovative take of the local chicken rice dish, The rice was fried to perfection. It was crisp and the batter not too thick nor oily.
If you haven't been here or have been here but not tried this out, TRY IT 😹 (but cannot guarantee you will like okay because different people different opinion don't come find me if you happen to not like this 🙈🙈) But seriously, i would eat this more often if it wasn't so out of the way for me 😭

Over here, one basket of 6 xiao long baos will set you back only $4.50, which comes down to only $0.75 per xiao long bao!

I don't eat xiao long bao very often and am not very picky but the skin of the dumplings were not too thick for me though i feel that they could do with more broth.
Don't stop at just the xiao long baos though, because the noodles there are a real show-stealer!🍜😋 They were thin and cooked perfectly al-dente with a smooth and springy texture. We had the Pork Dumplings Noodles ($4) and the chilli oil really elevated the taste of the noodles.

All these set us back just $12.50 in total. Talk about value for money!😛💰 #burpple #burpplesg #whati8todaysg #whati8today #xiaolongbao #dumplings #noodles #chinesefood #chinesecuisine #sgeats #sgeatout #sgfoodie #sgfoodblogger #sgfoodies #sgfoodlover #sgfood #sgfoodhunt #sgfoodhunter #sgfoodtrend #myfooddiary #sgfooddiary #sgfooddiaries #sgcafe #sgcafefood #sgcafehopping #sgmakandiary #foodforfoodie #foodforfoodies #foodexplorer

Yes please!🍜🙂 A little on the pricey side ($8.80) for this commonly seen dish at hawker centres, but its quality is assured, as can be seen by the snaking long queues during meal times. Not to worry though, because the line moves quite fast! Orders were taken in queue and our orders came decently quick too.
I ordered the mixed fish version as i couldn't decide on one but found myself preferring the non-fried fish slices instead. The fish slices were just of the right thickness for me and the meat was tender, sweet and flavourful without being too fishy. Oh and the skin was removed from the fish too (yay😅) The strands of thick beehoon was smooth and silky. Of course, you can opt for rice/porridge options or even go carb-less!

Verdict: tasted decent but definitely not good enough that i would recommend people it. For me, the most important component of the dish (the rice) was not fragrant enough, though i liked that the rice was neither too oily nor dry.
