Ang Mo Kio Curry Chicken Noodle

Ang Mo Kio Central S11 Food Centre has many delicious food eg BBQ seafood, western food, lor mee and ban mian. Recently I discovered that its curry chicken noodle is very tasty too.


For only $3, you get a large bowl of sumptuous noodles with generous pieces of white chicken. Delightfully thick with a distinctive coconut milk fragrance, the mouthwatering gravy complements the noodles very well. The steamed chicken is extremely fresh and tender.

If you are a curry lover, you must have noticed that there is a recent increase in curry chicken noodle franchises in neighborhood food centres. Ang Mo Kio Curry Chicken Noodle is certainly the most impressive of these.

Pow Sing Chicken Rice

If you have visited Serangoon Gardens before at night, you would not have missed the brightly-lit signboard of Pow Sing Restaurant with its crimson-red chicken mascot. What is more well-known about Pow Sing is its famous chicken rice that is supposedly very expensive.


I ordered a chicken rice set meal which comes with a plate of steamed white chicken, a bowl of rice and a plate of pickles. Thoroughly coated with savory chicken broth, the delicious rice is extremely fragrant and flavorful. Delightfully thick and spicy, the special chilli sauce complements the rice very well. The steamed white chicken is fresh, tender and tasty.

The sumptuous dinner costs around $9 in total, inclusive of lime juice and service charge. The prices are definitely comparable to other famous chicken rice restaurants eg Five Star and Boon Tong Kee. For the quality of the food and the comfort of dining under air conditioning, I am certainly willing to pay that price.

Leon Kee Claypot Big Prawn Noodles

Located at Alexandra Village Food Centre, Leon Kee is better known for its ba kut teh (herbal pork rib soup). I wouldn't have noticed its claypot big prawn noodles if not for a reader who mentioned that it has one of the best prawn mee in Singapore.


Served piping hot in a claypot, a bowl of Leon Kee prawn noodles costs $5. In case you are wondering if it is worthwhile to pay the price, the delicious prawn mee comes with one and a half gigantic prawns which will probably cost at least $8 for other famous big prawn noodles. Brimming with the concentrated essence of prawns, the mouthwatering soup is the thickest of all the prawn mee soup I have ever tasted. The enormous halved prawns are fresh and sweet and complement the tasty noodles very well.

Yet to try Leon Kee pork rib soup, I was already very impressed with its claypot big prawn noodles. If you too are a prawn mee lover, do make a trip down to Alexandra Village and try it for yourself.

He Jia Huan Ban Mian

The best ban mian (handmade noodle) in Singapore used to be Qiu Lian Ban Mian. However, over the past few years, with the opening of multiple franchises, its impressive standard seemed to have deteriorated tremendously. Recently, after reading about the ban mian at Changi Airport Terminal 2 Staff Canteen which some bloggers described as the best in Singapore, I decided to go and try it for myself.

Finding the well-concealed Staff Canteen at Terminal 2 was no easy task. It was located at Level 3M and I went into a few wrong lift lobbies and staircase exits before I finally found it.


A bowl of He Jia Huan ban mian costs $3 for public and $2.20 for staff. Topped with generous servings of ikan bilis (fried anchovies), the delicious ban mian comes with a small saucer of chilli sauce. The thick and savory gravy complements the smooth noodles very well. The highlight of the ban mian is the exceptionally spicy chilli sauce made with fresh chilli padi that burns incessantly in the mouth.

I couldn't help noticing the similarities between He Jia Huan and Qiu Lian Ban Mian eg the texture of the noodles, the taste of the soup and the quality of the chilli sauce. Overall I didn't feel that He Jia Huan ban mian is the best in Singapore but it is certainly delicious and definitely worth a try. Happy searching for Terminal 2 Staff Canteen.

Lau Goh Teochew Fried Carrot Cake

There is a heartwarming story behind Lau Goh Teochew Fried Carrot Cake at Zion Riverside Food Centre. This stall is run by a partially-deaf man who takes your order by reading your lips. Over the years, he has been working hard to perfect the art of frying carrot cake and making Lau Goh one of the best in Singapore.

Lau Goh's fried carrot cake comes in the white version (fried with light soya sauce) and the black version (fried with dark soya sauce). My friend who is a fan of this carrot cake recommended the black version.


I ordered a plate of black fried carrot cake which costs $4. Well-fried to a delightfully crispy consistency, the delicious carrot cake is thoroughly coated with fried egg and a layer of sweet soya sauce and chilli.

In terms of culinary standard, Lau Goh Teochew fried carrot cake is certainly fantastic. But in terms of ingredients, it would be perfect if it comes with shrimps. I remembered when I was a child, I loved the carrot cake from Tampines which was fried with plenty of shrimps. But with the rising costs of ingredients, it has become extremely rare to find carrot cake fried with shrimps today. Nevertheless, if you are a fan of carrot cake, you must not miss Lau Goh Teochew Fried Carrot Cake.

Lorong Ah Soo Lor Mee

There are a few stalls in Hainanese Village Food Centre at Lorong Ah Soo that are well-known for their long queues especially during weekends. I have previously tried and introduced Yi Liu Xiang Nasi Lemak during my last visit there. Today I decided to try the famous Lorong Ah Soo Lor Mee.


Indeed value for money, a bowl of $3 lor mee comes with an fabulous variety of ingredients like ngor hiang, fried wanton, fish cake, braised duck and braised egg. The delicious gravy is savory and complementary to the noodles but not overly sticky or starchy. I was most impressed by the fried wanton which were filled with abundant crunchy chestnut. The shredded braised duck serves as a healthier alternative to the usual braised fatty meat. If you feel that lor mee can never be complete without braised egg, you will be delighted that this lor mee comes with one whole braised egg which I usually save for the last.

One of the more delicious lor mee in the heartlands of Singapore, Lorong Ah Soo Lor Mee just lacks the distinguishing factor present in other famous lor mee eg Bukit Purmei. Nevertheless, this value-for-money lor mee with generous servings of ingredients is still worthwhile queuing up for.

Hill Street Fried Kway Teow

Described by some food bloggers as one of the best fried kway teow in Singapore, I was disappointed to find it closed during the last 2 times when I was there. I finally managed to try Hill Street fried kway teow for lunch today after waiting for around 20 minutes.


A plate of savory fried kway teow, topped with cockles, pork lard and slices of Taiwanese sausages, costs only $2.50. The delicious kway teow is slightly wet in consistency and coated with thick flavorful gravy. The pork lard pieces accentuate the delightful fragrance of the fried kway teow, every mouthful is indeed heavenly.

This is certainly one of the more fantastic fried kway teow in Singapore. Do come down to Bedok South and experience it for yourself today.

Don Crab Bee Hoon

Better known for its famous pies, I was surprised to know that Don at Far East Square also has crab bee hoon. Tempted by the posters pasted outside the restaurant which read "Crab Bee Hoon with Sri Lankan crab for only $16", I decided to try it for myself.


Somewhat reminiscent of Uncle Leong's crab bee hoon, Don crab bee hoon is the soupy version that is served in a claypot. Brimming with the concentrated essence of crabs and a gentle tinge of spices, the mouthwatering gravy is exceptionally savory, giving every strand of bee hoon a delicate coat of irresistable flavour. The medium sized crab is indeed fresh and tasty with robust flesh that is sweet and appetizing.

Compared with Uncle Leong's famous crab bee hoon which costs at least $30, Don crab bee hoon is smaller and less costly priced at $16. But it is definitely sufficient to satisfy one's craving for crabs.

Guang Zhou Wanton Noodle

Despite being a wanton mee lover, it took me quite a while to try Guang Zhou Wanton Noodle even though I frequently patronise Tanglin Halt Market for lunch. Maybe because there were already two stalls namely the duck noodle and laksa featured on Makansutra, I really didn't expect the wanton mee to be so fantastic too.


A $3 plate of wanton mee comes with a satisfactory portion of noodles topped with generous servings of char siew and a bowl of savory wanton soup. The two distinguishing factors of Guang Zhou wanton mee are its special chilli sauce and its exceptionally fresh char siew. Splendidly cooked to the right consistency, the mouthwatering noodles are thoroughly coated with a layer of flavorful chilli sauce that is irresistably spicy. The crimson char siew slices are remarkably fresh and tasty, the best I have ever tasted in wanton mee. The impressive dumplings complement the noodles very well and the savory anchovy-flavoured soup readily extinguishes the scorching flames of the spicy chilli.

Guang Zhou is undoubtedly one of the best wanton mee in Singapore, along the likes of Hong Mao, Fei Fei and Koka wanton mee. Calling all wanton mee enthusiasts, come down to Tanglin Halt Market and try it for yourself if you haven't.

Cheng Ji Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee

I first patronised this stall at Seah Im Food Centre when I was an undergraduate at NUS many years ago. Back then, at the end of a long day, I often had a strong craving for a plate of delicious Cheng Ji fried hokkien prawn mee with a glass of refreshing sugarcane juice for dinner. After I graduated and started working, I no longer patronised Seah Im Food Centre frequently. But having Cheng Ji fried hokkien mee occasionally still brings back plenty of sentimental memories from my university days.


I always ordered a plate of fried hokkien mee with an extra egg, costing $3 in total. Delightfully topped with generous servings of fresh prawns, sotong and fried egg, the mouthwatering noodles are exceptionally flavorful and impressively fried with a distinctive charred fragrance. The savory chilli paste is sweet and spicy and complements the tasty noodles very well.

Nostalgic feeling aside, Cheng Ji fried hokkien prawn mee is very sumptuous and value for money. My only dissatisfaction is that Cheng Ji charges 50 cents for extra chilli. Nevertheless it is still one of my favorite fried hokkien mee and I will certainly be coming back for more.

Holland Village San Lao Hor Fun

Better known for its XO fish head bee hoon, this famous stall at Holland Drive also has fantastic san lao hor fun (sliced fish hor fun). When I first tried it more than 5 years ago, I felt that it was the best san lao hor fun in Singapore.


When I went back there last week, I ordered the san lao hor fun which costs $6. Topped with generous servings of beanspouts and fish, the mouthwatering hor fun is impressively fried with a delightful fragrance and coated with a layer of flavorful gravy. The delicious fish slices are fresh and tasty and blend very well with the beanspouts and hor fun.

After so many years, Holland Village San Lao Hor Fun is still the best in Singapore. Although it is more expensive than other san lao hor fun, its extraordinary quality is unmatched and definitely worth your every dollar spent.

Bukit Merah Lane Mixed Seafood Mee Sua

In a coffee shop on the void deck of Blk 124 Bukit Merah Lane 1, there is a fish soup stall which has long queues during lunch time. Yet it has no name and has never been featured on any food blog. After walking past on a few occasions when I was on my way to Alexandra Village, I finally decided to try it for myself.


I ordered the mixed seafood mee sua which costs only $2.50 and comes with generous servings of fish, pork slices, pig liver, pig stomach and cabbage. I was initially skeptical about the lack of seafood in this so-called seafood soup but was impressed after tasting it. Well-brewed with the delightful sweetness of fish and pork ribs, the mouthwatering soup is exceptionally flavorful yet not overly fishy, oily or cloudy. The delicate mee sua absorbs the essence of the soup very well. The thick fish slices are extremely fresh and tender while the meat slices are well-marinated and tasty.

Overall this impressive mixed seafood soup mee sua is not only delicious but gives the best value for money. Just like the lunch time crowd, I will certainly be returning for more.

Shao Yu Tang BBQ Stingray Set Lunch

From 1130am to 4pm daily, Shao Yu Tang BBQ Seafood at Ang Mo Kio S-11 Food Centre has a special BBQ stingray set lunch for only $4.


Extraordinarily value for money, the BBQ stingray set lunch comes with a reasonably large piece of sambal BBQ stingray, fried egg, sambal fried long beans and plain rice. What distinguishes Shao Yu Tang BBQ stingray from other BBQ stingray is its exceptionally delicious sambal chilli. Accentuating the authentic flavour of BBQ stingray, the special sambal chilli is sensationally spicy and delightfully sweet with the subtle sourness of lime. The fresh stingray is expertly barbecued to the right consistency with flesh that is soft and tasty. Complete your sumptuous lunch with complementary side dishes of sambal fried long beans and fried egg.

Being a fan of barbecued seafood, I must admit that Shao Yu Tang BBQ Stingray is one of the best I have tasted in Singapore. And above all, the set lunch costs only $4. Nowhere else can you find BBQ stingray at this fabulous price. Come down to Ang Mo Kio Central and experience it for yourself today.

Thaksin Beef Noodle

With a flamboyant signboard that is so eye-catching, it is extremely difficult to miss Thaksin Beef Noodle at Seah Im Food Centre.

Thaksin Beef Noodle comes in 4 sizes: Standard at $3.50, Value at $4, Supreme at $5 and Super at $6.


Although this is a halal Thai beef noodle, its taste and ingredients are somewhat reminiscent of the Taiwanese la mian. Concentrated with the delightful essence of beef and the distinctive aroma of spices, the flavorful gravy complements the delicious noodles very well. The dried chilli flakes accentuate the authentic taste of the savory gravy, making every mouthful seem irresistable. To the satisfaction of beef lovers, the large chunks of stewed beef are tender and tasty.

Thaksin Beef Noodle is indeed special and outstanding. Do come down to Seah Im Food Centre and try it for yourself.

Famous Depot 108 Claypot Laksa

Bearing a striking resemblance to Depot Road Zhen Shan Mei Claypot Laksa
at Alexandra Village, this stall located in the food court of Depot Heights Shopping Centre has been featured on Singapore's Best Food Online Directory, although there was no mention if they were related.


A bowl of $4 Depot 108 claypot laksa comes in an enormous portion, more generous than Zhen Shan Mei's. Delightfully thick and savory, the coconut-filled gravy coats the delicate noodles, making every mouthful seem irresistable. The delicious laksa is well-complemented with a variety of ingredients including cockles, prawns and shredded chicken.

Depot 108 Claypot Laksa certainly has the makings of a great laksa but I still prefer Zhen Shan Mei's because its mouthwatering gravy is more spicy and authentic. Nevertheless if you have the craving for claypot laksa yet discouraged by the perpetual long queue at Zhen Shan Mei, do come down to try Famous Depot 108 Claypot Laksa today.

Hjh Maimunah Nasi Padang

Another famous Nasi Padang restaurant in Singapore, Hjh Maimunah did not leave me a good impression when I went there for dinner last year. During that time I felt that the dishes had too strong a scent of Indian spices which I disliked.


When I went there again for lunch with my colleagues recently, we ordered nasi padang with sambal goreng, sayur lodeh (lontong vegetables), curry chicken and sambal kerang (cockles).


The flavorful sambal goreng is a delightful combination of long beans, fried bean curd and tempeh marvellously fried with savory sambal chilli. The sayur lodeh with its coconut-scented gravy complement the plain rice very well. The curry chicken is extremely tender and tasty.


I loved the sambal kerang most as the cockles were irresistably sweet and juicy.


For an air-conditioned restaurant with a comfortable ambience, I must admit that the dishes are very reasonably priced. We paid around $15 inclusive of drinks. If you are a fan of nasi padang, do come down to Hjh Maimunah and experience it for yourself today.

Zhang Fa Fried Kway Teow

Better known as the fried hokkien mee stall behind the cheng tng stall, I had difficulty finding it when I went to Tanglin Halt Food Centre a fortnight ago. Never did I expect Zhang Fa to be so well concealed within the inner circle of stalls in the food centre until my friend pointed it out to me. Having tried the fried hokkien mee, I felt that it was delicious but certainly not fantastic. However fried kway teow was not only impressive but could easily qualify as one of Singapore's best fried kway teow.

I used to ponder what makes the best fried kway teow. Is it the texture of the noodles, the quality of the ingredients or the taste of the gravy? I found the answer in Zhang Fa fried kway teow: it's none of the above; it's the flavour of the kway teow.


While most fried kway teow comes coated with a layer of savory gravy, Zhang Fa fried kway teow, on the other hand, is dry and flavorful as if every strand is thoroughly infiltrated with the delightful essence of the sauces, not too salty, not too sweet, not too spicy, just right to tantalise my taste buds. It is easy to forget what the ingredients are because they are so well-blended with the irresistable kway teow, you will finish it before you know it. But I remembered that a $2 plate of fried kway teow comes with sausage slices, egg and cockles, thanks to the photo I took.

Sensationally sumptuous, Zhang Fa fried kway teow is one of the best fried kway teow that I have tasted for a long time. Come down to Tanglin Halt Food Centre and experience it for yourself today. If you can't find the stall, remember to search within the inner circle.

Wei Yi Laksa

Featured on Makansutra, this stall in the newly-renovated Tanglin Halt Market has delicious laksa and prawn noodles.


A bowl of $4 laksa comes with generous servings of fresh cockles and prawns. Delightfully flavorful with coconut milk sweetness and prawn essence, the savory gravy coats the noodles thoroughly, making every mouthful seem irresistable.

In terms of quantity of dishes eg prawns and cockles, Wei Yi Laksa is indeed impressive. But I felt that its gravy would have been better if it was thicker. Nevertheless it is still worthwhile to try it if you are at the Commonwealth area.

Astons Express Grilled Teriyaki Chicken

Located in an old coffeeshop in Serangoon Garden, Astons Express is a franchise of Astons Specialties which is famous for its mouthwatering steaks. As its name suggests, you don't have to queue to be seated at Astons Express unlike at Astons Specialties. Having tasted the fantastic steaks from Astons Specialties and Astons Prime, I decided to try the grilled teriyaki chicken for a change.


Reasonably priced at $5.50, the grilled teriyaki chicken comes with 2 free side dishes of your choice. I chose tasty rice (butter rice with carrot pieces) and corn cob to complement the main course. Topped with a savory layer of teriyaki sauce, the tender chicken is flavorful and modestly grilled without the slightest burned taste.

Though delicious, the grilled teriyaki chicken just lacked the distinguishing factor. I also felt that the teriyaki sauce was too salty. However my opinion may be biased as I prefer my grilled chicken to come with a distinctive charred flavour. Nevertheless Aston Express is still worth a try if you have a craving for Astons' steaks but not keen to go all the way down to East Coast

Hup Kee (Orchard) Fried Hokkien Mee

As featured on Makansutra, Hup Kee (Orchard) Fried Hokkien Mee first originated at Gluttons Square in Orchard Road back in the 1960s. The fried hokkien mee was well-known for its distinct quality because of the seafood soup base and superb wok-frying technique. Today Hup Kee's franchises are scattered all over Singapore eg Gluttons Bay at the Esplanade to Ang Mo Kio, Commonwealth, Hougang etc.

I recently tried Hup Kee (Orchard) fried hokkien prawn mee at Hougang Mall's Mei Shi Mei Ke Food Court and it was indeed impressive.


A $4 plate of fried hokkien mee comes with 3 medium sized prawns and a few slices of sotong. Expertly fried in thick savory gravy that is rich in seafood fragrance, the delicious noodles are irresistably flavorful.

Don't be fooled by the number of franchises. Overall Hup Kee (Orchard) is still one of the best fried hokkien mee that you can find in a food court.

Hill Street Tai Hwa Minced Meat Noodles

A friend of mine who knew that I dislike vinegar commented, "How can mee pok taste good without vinegar?" Indeed, as far as I can recall, I have never found a mee pok tah (dry mee pok) that tasted fantastic without vinegar. Until I tried Hill Street Tai Hwa minced meat noodles yesterday.


A bowl of minced meat mee pok tah which costs $4 appears rather unappealing. Only after sinking my teeth into the mediocre noodles did I realize that appearance can be deceiving. Extraordinarily well-cooked with a special springy consistency, the delicious noodles are well-complemented with savory chilli sauce that is exceptionally flavorful. Enjoy the mouthwatering noodles topped with generous servings of tasty minced meat, pork slices, pig's liver and meat balls.

Compared with Jalan Tua Kong mee pok, Hill Street Tai Hwa mee pok is certainly more sumptuous. It is indeed one of the best mee pok tah I have tasted in Singapore.

328 Katong Laksa

Mention the word Katong to any food lover in Singapore and he or she will immediately think of the famous Katong laksa. But there are so many laksa stalls in Katong: Which is the original? Which is the most popular? And which is the best?

I believe the original Katong laksa is in the coffee shop on the ground level of the old Roxy Square. However when I tried it with my colleagues recently, we all felt that its standards have dropped tremendously.

Today I decided to try the more popular 328 Katong Laksa located opposite Roxy Square. Hopefully its standards have withstood the test of time.


I ordered a $4 bowl of laksa which comes in a reasonably satisfactory portion. Delightfully scented with coconut milk, the mouthwatering gravy is sufficiently spicy and flavorful with the distinctive essence of dried shrimps but lacking in the irresistable thickness that used to distinguish it from other laksa. The delicious noodles are complemented with generous servings of fresh cockles and prawns.

328 Katong Laksa may be one of the best laksa in Singapore but I feel that it pales in comparison with Depot Road Zhen Shan Mei Claypot Laksa. While Zhen Shan Mei's gravy is thick and robust, 328's gravy seems rather watery and disappointing. Maybe it's the rising cost of ingredients or the increasing health awareness of Singaporeans but 328 is no longer the fantastic Katong laksa from the good old days.

Lam's Crab Bee Hoon

My pursuit for crab bee hoon led me to this stall at Rangoon Road which is featured on Makansutra. Better known for its prawn noodle soup, Lam's also has crab bee hoon which I just could not resist.


The steamed crab bee hoon which costs $10 is served with a small crab. Gently steamed to a mild springy consistency, the dry bee hoon tastes unique but somewhat lacking in flavour. Although small, the mouthwatering crab is fresh and sweet and serves as a worthy compensation for the disappointing noodles. The crab bee hoon also comes with a complementary bowl of prawn soup which is full of savory seafood essence.

To all crab lovers out there, Lam's is one special crab bee hoon that you must try if you haven't. For only $10, you get to satisfy your craving for crabs. Besides steamed crab bee hoon, Lam's also has crab noodle soup and prawn noodles which I will definitely try someday.

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.
