Hawker/ Cheap Finds

This was served chilled and meant to be an appetiser, which is slightly salty to whet up your appetite before the mains! Note that chicken breast is used here so it's drier and harder.

They are located at Level 6 @kopitiam.sg in @plazasingapura, and you just have to turn right immediately upon entering, and walk straight to the last stall on the right!

Pretty huge bowl and portion! This bowl was slightly spicy as well, and there's also minced meat as toppings.

Looking for an affordable meal in Town area? Here's where you can get Chicken/Beef/Pork Rib Hotpot in Plaza Singapura from just $8.80, with their Opening Special Price!

Signature Chicken Pot (M - $12.90, S - $8.80)
- Beancurd Skin (add-on $1.50)
Medium was sufficient for 3 pax, and the gravy was q flavourful! Chicken was pretty tender, and beancurd skin nicely soaked up the gravy. Slightly spicy even tho we piced 小辣 (spice level - small), but you can go for No Spice, or even higher spice levels! This would defo pair well with rice, which you can top up for $1.

I opted for their Chicken Drumstick Nasi Lemak ($6.50), which was served in a really huge portion! The skin was crispy and chicken wasn't dry - only qualm is the meat wasn't super well-seasoned, so it wasn't as flavourful as expected. The rice could be more flavourful as well, although chilli was q decent!

This was a totally different plate of Nasi Lemak compared to the other stall (Qi Ji Guan), because the chicken here was marinated with spices which I personally really liked. Chicken was also pretty tender overall, but again marination is mostly on the skin, and doesn't get into the chicken meat itself. This plate was kinda greasy overall, but a really huge and filling one, with the chilli being on the sweeter side, carrying just a little bit of spiciness.

Chicken Cutlet was really crispy and batter was quite flavourful. Portion was also quite huge and substantial, and I was surprised that the bread they gave was pandan bread instead of usual plain ones, which carried a nice pandan fragrance (those who tried Sunshine Pandan bread before will know 😉) and paired well with the Lurpak butter.

Am a huge fan of Hokkien mee, but it's defo not easy to find good ones. This one here is located in a coffeeshop in Blk 210 Hougang Street 21 (Kovan MRT), which I've always wanted to try since seeing them on food king (yes really long ago).

Hokkien Mee ($5)
I liked how this plate of Hokkien Mee was of a just right wetness - not too wet and not too dry. It was also really flavourful and I liked how their sotong was also pretty well-cooked and fresh. They gave 3 prawns, but sadly ran out of pork lard when I went so didn't get to try. Chilli was really spicy with a good kick - would be great for spice lovers. Overall a pretty good plate of Hokkien Mee I'd head back for, altho it hasn't beaten my fav (swee guan) which comes with strong wok hei.

Their snapper was really soft and tender! Pretty fresh, and the curry was also not too spicy and very drinkable 🤭.

For veg lovers, there's also choices for you here.

Kinda enjoyed this as well, and a nice side to share.

This was refreshing! Had a nice balance of sweet and sour, and was quite a good appetiser.

Sotong was a little too chewy for me, although the curry veg was not too bad. Pretty comforting food for sure!
