Hawker food is an integral part of any real visit to Singapore. While there are some hawker centers that are popular with tourists, the locals can point you towards the 'famous' ones. During my recent visit, my Singaporean friends took me to many popular places to eat. Among them were
Jalan Tua Kong Lau Lim Mee Pok,
Old Airport Road Food Centre and
126 搵到食 Dim Sum Restaurant in the Geylang area.
At the Jalan Tua Kong Lau Lim Mee Pok at the Bedok Shopping Complex, we had
Crispy Deep-Fried Yong Tau Foo and
Mee Pok (麪薄) with fishcake, minced meat, pork slices and fish balls of course!
Since I'm a fan of
satay, we drove over to the Old Airport Road Food Centre, one of the best hawker centers in Singapore, where you can get some really tasty
satay from
Chuan Kee Satay. You can get
Pork Satay,
Chicken Satay and
Mutton Sattay here for SG$0.50 a piece.
I had also been craving for
Char Kway Teow which we purchased from
Lao Fu Zi Fried Kway Teow which starts at SG$3 a serving.
Char Kway Teow is a personal favorite, especially the one with cockles.
My friends ordered
Big Prawn Noodle from
Albert Street Prawn Noodle which starts at SG$5 a bowl.
For dessert, we got
Tau Huay (豆花) at
51 Soya Bean. Note that they also have
Durian Bean Curd which I was told is really good too.
Then there's Geylang, which is a famous and infamous for a lot of things, hawker food included. We visited
126 搵到食 (Wen Dao Shi) Dim Sum Restaurant, another 'famous' place for
dim sum. Aside from the address number, the Chinese characters actually read
wan tou sek (found something to eat) in Cantonese, and thus sounds like 126.
From pork buns and dumplings to chicken feet, they definitely serve really good
dim sum there. Thanks again to my SSEAYP batchmate Ong Han Chong and wife Diana for the treats! More food posts to follow.
