Local Hawker Heritage

Got the Big Prawn Noodles, dry with beehoon and kway teow.

For the dry version they will toss the noodles in a chili oil sauce which was not bad but I do wish that it was more fragrant and savoury.

The soup was really good. Savoury and sweet with a strong prawn flavour. Prawns were fresh and of a good size.

Overall a really good bowl of prawn soup with prawns. Worth eating.

Got the Herbal Seafood Batang($8) and Sliced Batang Fish Soup($6) Add XO($0.50).

Herbal soup was not bad. Had a sweet herbal-y taste which became stronger nearing the end. There were prawns, meatball, fish and a tomato. Fish was not overly cooked. Meatball was not bad.

Sliced Batang Fish Soup with XO was ok. Not as nice as the herbal one but I like that there were cabbage, egg floss and ginger in it.

Overall not too bad.

Was feeling like having soup so I decided to try this shop. The shop also states that there's no msg.

Got the Herbal Chicken Soup and a bowl of rice which came to a total of $8.50.
The soup was really good. It had an Umami flavour to it, some dried seafood taste. It was also sweet and savoury enough. The chicken was tender as well. Sadly there wasn't any mushroom in the soup but there were ginko nut, lotus nut, red date, wolfberry, some herb and some algae seaweed. Rice was not bad. It was short grain rice.

The uncle at the shop was also quite friendly and speaks English.

Overall I really enjoyed the soup and would go back to try another again.

Mala Special Noodle. The noodles came with roasted pork, sausage and char siew. The egg was an additional item.

Noodles were a little on the soft side. Taste wise it was ok, had a slight numbness from the sauce. Roasted pork was ok. The skin was crispy. The sausages were soft and not bad. Char siew had a good char but was on the fatty side and could be more flavourful. Eggs were normal.

Overall not too bad.

Decided to try this stall for lunch.
Got 1 Crispy Prawn Cracker, 2 Yam Roll, 1 Tau Kwa, 1 Pork Sausage, 1 stick of fried Wu Xiang Fish Cake for $11.

Crispy Prawn Cracker was really good. Crispy, not too oily and slightly bitter. Yam Roll was tasty but quite dry. Tau Kwa has a slight saltiness which I love and it was fried perfectly. Pork Sausage was tasty but quite dry. The fish cake thingy we chose which was lined on a stick, taste like a combination of "Wu Xiang"(5 spice seasoning) and fishcake. The sauce provided was quite good. Sweet and tasty.

Overall I would say the food is quite nice.
Wanted to try their bee hoon also but not sure if the aunty heard the 2 plates of beehoon or charged us the bee hoon but didn't give.

Decided to join the long queue to try this famous Kway chap.

Got their mixed platter for 3 people ($14) and 3 bowls of Kway chap ($0.80).

The mixed platter consist of pig's large intestine, pork meat, tau Kwa, Tau pok and braised egg. Each item was not bad and I like how the intestine did not have any smell and did not taste bitter.

The noodles were silky and paired with a mildly flavoured soup.

Overall I would say the Kway chap is good. However I feel that it's not worth the long wait.

Came here and saw quite a number of people eating porridge so decided to get it as well. Ordered the century egg pork porridge.

The porridge was tasty and came with cai poh, shallots, minced pork, century egg and you tiao. Everything went well together. The only disappointment was the soft you tiao.

I placed my order and was given a food buzzer.

Once the buzzer rang, I went to the shop and the aunty drizzled the black sauce and sesame oil on the rice while I ladle some chili sauce.

The claypot rice was topped with chicken chunks, thinkly sliced Chinese sausage, kailan(?) and a piece of salted fish. I mixed it all together and couldn't wait to eat it as the smell of salted fish hit me.

I tried the chicken and it was really tender. Next, I tried the Chinese sausage and it was good. The veggie was crunchy and good too. However when you eat it all together somehow it was a on the bland side. I felt that they could have given a bigger piece of salted fish to mix into the rice or added some salty elements to the dish. Chili sauce was good thought. Spicy and good.

Overall, the chicken was cooked perfectly but the claypot rice could use more salty-ness.

Signature All-In Combo consist of Mee Hoon Kway, Minced Pork, Sliced Pork, Pork Ball and Shrimp Ball.

I had the soup version. Soup is very interesting. Different from any other mee hoon kway shop. It had a smoky flavour which is really nice. Noodles on the other hand was so-so. It lack the chewiness which I prefer.

Minced meat was ok. Sliced pork was tender. Pork ball had a very porky taste which I didn't really like. Shrimp ball had a good springy texture.

Their chilli was not bad as well. They don't offer the usual chilli padi with soy sauce but offer a chilli that's on the acidic side which is quite nice.

Overall nice soup but average noodles.

There always seems to be a queue for this stall so I decided to try.

I got their smallest potion which is $4. It's a good portion, packed with lots of ingredients; eggs, sausages, fish cake, cockles, beansprouts, pork lard and chives.

The CKT is on the sweeter side and could be saltier. It's also not that spicy even though I requested for it to be spicier. I do like how their pork lard are quite big and crispy which added extra crunch to the dish along with the beansprouts. The cockles were good and cooked perfectly. However I felt that it could use more eggs.

Overall a good plate of CKT with good portion. If I do patronise the stall again I might opt for extra egg (+$0.50) and cockles (+$2) if my wallet allows.

So this Wanton Mee comes with char siew, vegetable, 2 fried wanton(dumplings), soup and 2 boiled wanton.

The noodles were ok. They weren't overcooked and had taste. There were also deep fried pork lard in the noodles. Char siew was sweet and tasty and paired well with the noodles. But it was a little dry. Vegetables on the other hand had a weird chemical taste? So I didn't finish them. Fried wanton was good. Crispy and good. Soup was quite bland but the boiled wanton was really good. The filings of the boiled wanton tasted like there was sole fish in it which gave an umaminess to it.

Overall yes to wanton, no to noodles.

For Set B: Chicken what you get is:
•Nasi Lemak (Blue Pea Rice / Classic White Rice) OR Fried BeeHoon
•Choice of 4 Varieties of Sambal – Classic, Hijau(Green), XO, or XO Hot
•Fried Egg or Omelette
•Achar
•Choice of chicken – Ayam Merah/ Gulai/ Cili Padi

The blue Pea Rice looks unique, my first time having blue Pea Rice. But I would say their rice could be more fragrant and coconut-y.

So they have 4 different kinds of sambal. Classic being the least spicy and XO Hot and Hjiau being the spiciest. Tried their XO sambal made with dried shrimps and it wasn't that spicy, more like what you usually get at most Nasi Lemak stalls. Slight spicy and sweet. Moving on to the XO Hot which contains dried shrimps, it's a sambal that is about 2 times spicier than the XO sambal. The first bite packs a punch and the heat immediately hits you. Quite nice for those who love their chili. Next up on my plate was the Hijau which instead of dried shrimps uses ikan bilis. I felt that it wasn't as spicy as the XO Hot. It was more towards the salty side but spicer than the XO sambal. So if you like spicy but yet can't really take the heat, the Hijau sambal is a good choice.

For my chicken, I chose Ayam merah which is chicken cooked in a red tomato-y sauce. I like how the chicken was tender. The sauce also was good. Sweet and flavourful. A good Ayam merah.

Overall everything in the Nasi Lemak was good but the rice could be better. Also if you do not want to get their custom set, you could get the ala carte where you can choose whatever you like.
