Rong Hua Milk Corn Shake

Previously blogged about its special teh cino, I decided, for a change, to try the milk corn shake from Rong Hua Hot and Cold Drinks at Golden Mile Food Centre last weekend.

Highly addictive with plenty of saccharine goodness, the milk corn shake, which costs $2.50, comes with smooth blended milk ice topped with fragrant cream and sweet corn.

If you have a sweet tooth, you must try Rong Hua's milk corn shake which will certainly keep you coming back for more.

Rong Hua Teh Cino

Otherwise known as the tea version of cappuccino, teh cino is best described as milk with a layer of tea on top. I decided to try this drink out of curiosity a few months ago and fell in love with it since then.

Having tried the teh cino from several places, my favourite is the one from Rong Hua Hot And Cold Drinks located in the basement of Golden Mile Food Centre.


I usually order the hot teh cino which costs $1.20. What makes this teh cino outstanding is how the thick saccharine milk layer below blends so well with the distinctive fragrant tea layer above, creating a memorable bitter-sweet interface.

So do remember to try this special teh cino from Rong Hua the next time you dine at Golden Mile Food Centre.

Bao Ma Economic Rice

Frequently patronising Golden Mile Food Centre for dinner, I wondered how I could have missed this delicious economic rice located on its basement. With a wide variety of dishes including its famous curry fish head, I decided to try its fried brocolli, fried egg omelette and braised chicken after much hesitation.


Priced more reasonably than most economic rice, a plate of plain rice with the 3 dishes above cost only $2.50. Well-marinated with a subtle tinge of ginger spiciness, the braised chicken is remarkably tasty and succulent. The fried brocolli is fresh and crunchy while the egg omelette is fragrant and flavorful.

Having dishes with quality so close to home-cooked standard and yet prices so affordable, Bao Ma certainly has one of the best economic rice in Singapore.

91 Fried Kway Teow

With an increasing awareness on healthy living, Singaporeans are cutting down on the intake of unhealthy food such as fried kway teow. Following this trend, there is a fried kway teow at Golden Mile Food Centre that contains no pork lard. You might ask, how can fried kway teow taste good without pork lard? I was just as curious, so I went down to try it for myself.


A plate of healthy 91 fried kway teow which costs $3, is topped with generous servings of green vegetables and ikan bilis. Despite the absence of pork lard, the appetizing kway teow is very fragrant and flavorful, complementing well with the juicy cockles and crispy ikan bilis.

I can understand why 91 fried kway teow is so popular with Singaporeans but I still prefer the conventional fried kway teow with pork lard. Nevertheless it is a novel alternative for fried kway teow lovers who are health-conscious to have the best of both worlds.

71 Beef Hor Fun

This stall on the second storey of Golden Mile Food Centre sells a variety of Chinese cooked food eg seafood hor fun, beef hor fun, fried hokkien mee, mee goreng and fried rice. Yet it is named 71 Beef Hor Fun. I just could not help wondering if there is something special about its beef hor fun, hence I decided to give it a try.


A plate of beef hor fun costs only $3, though cheaper than Geylang Lor 9 and Bee Kia, comes in a reasonable and satisfactory portion. Well-fried with a distinct charred aroma, the delicious kway teow is thoroughly coated with flavorful gravy that is more salty and sweet than spicy compared with Geylang Lor 9 and Bee Kia. If you dislike the heavily tenderised beef of Geylang Lor 9, you will be delighted by 71's beef slices which are tough and tasty. The addition of fresh xiao bai cai complements the flavour and texture of the beef hor fun very well.

This is one beef hor fun that is both sumptuous and value for money. I will definitely be coming back for more.

Hainan Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee

I have read about the $3 fried hokkien mee at Golden Mile Food Centre that is always so excellently fried but comes in a portion so small it can be finished in a few mouthfuls. As a food enthusiast, quality is definitely more important than quantity hence I decided to try if Hainan Fried Hokkien Mee really lives up to its reputation.


When I went to Golden Mile Food Centre last month, I had to wait for 20 minutes before I got my noodles. My first impression of Hainan fried hokkien mee is that it is the dry version without any gravy. However the flavorful noodles are impressively fried with a characteristic charred fragrance. The savory sambal chilli accentuates the remarkable taste of the noodles, making every mouthful seem really irresistable. Although the fried hokkien mee comes with only a few small prawns and slices of sotong, it is so fantastic that it can be eaten without any ingredients.

Hainan is undoubtedly one of the best fried hokkien mee in Singapore. Even though its serving is rather small, it is still worthwhile to pay $3 for.

Haji Kadir Mee Kuah

Located at the ground storey of Golden Mile Food Centre, Haji Kadir is well-known for its soup tulang (mutton bone marrow soup). Never a fan of soup tulang, I decided to try its mee kuah instead. Mee kuah is an Indian noodle dish that is characterised by its red gravy made from chilli paste, tomato puree and food colouring and is served with cabbage, peas, potato and a fried egg.


A bowl of Haji Kadir mee kuah costs $3.50, slightly more expensive than other mee kuah. Bright red in colour, the savory gravy is irresistably sweet and spicy with the concentrated essence of mutton and combined flavours of spices, complementing the delicious noodles. Unlike other mee kuah that come with stingy pieces of mutton, Haji Kadir mee kuah comes with generous servings of mutton that is extremely tasty and satisfactory. My only dissatisfaction is that the gravy is not spicy enough, lacking in the flammable ability to scorch the taste buds.

Nevertheless this is one of the more impressive mee kuah I have tasted in Singapore. Do come down to Golden Mile Food Centre and experience it for yourself today.

Chung Cheng Chilli Mee

There is no prize for guessing correctly what makes Chung Cheng Chilli Mee so popular. This stall in Golden Mile Food Centre serves delicious noodles topped with a special chilli paste that is simply irresistable.

For only $3, you get a large bowl of mouthwatering chilli-coated noodles with fresh prawns, marinated pork ribs, tau pok, fish cake and a small bowl of savory prawn soup to extinguish the flames in your mouth.

For all chilli lovers in Singapore, this is an extraordinary experience that is not to be missed. Come down to Golden Mile Food Centre and try it for yourself today.
