Never eat the soon lee char kuey teow. I got 4$ and there were 2 prawns and no cockles whatsoever. Hoho delicacies is something u shld look out for. Peanutsesame ball is amazing!
Prata. Sampled A) Mohamed Jaleel #01-122 & B) Wan Adam's #01-124. If we were to order again, we'd pick B cos of lighter dhal curry, although A's roti was chewier to bite (curry is mutton-based)
Indonesian dishes. Anthony Indonesian Cuisine #01-63 lets u pick (mainly) spicy dishes with rice. This plate $5.20. There are also convenient set meals. Prices clearly displayed on stall sign
Nasi Lemak Chinese style. Good food from Wan Xing 万兴椰浆饭•炒米粉 #01-62. Slightly sweet yet savory chili paste. Lightly fragrant rice. I'd prefer their fried fish to be crispier
Old school delight of ma po lor mee with fried fish. For $3 quite a lot of deep fried fish though some was just flour. Noodle amt just right not too much. Long serving spoon for chilling and garlic.
#01-78/79 The Chwee Kuey and Congeestalls are side-by-side and the best you can get within a 10-mile radius. Absolutely delicious. Try both and have your carb intake for the day!
Cold drinks. Based on warnings by fellow 4SQ users abt 日好 The Drinking Point #01-93, sidestepped the sugarcane juice & ordered a homemadehoneylemon drink instead. Thirst quenching👍🏼
Wantan mee. Pleasantly surprised with tasty WTM fr 270 Traditional Wanton Noodle #01-118. Generous filling in their 4 wantans (2 r fried). Soup was good. Char siew looks like vegetarian version :-)
Kayabuns in the morning. Chew's Stall sees a constant stream of customers for breakfast. Besides the usual beverages, office workers favour their kayabuns (not toast) & ham-egg-cheese sandwich
Char Kway Teow. Fragrant plate from Ren Fried Kway Teow Mee #01-117. While missing 'la pok' (fried pork lard cubes), the chef uses ample sweet soy sauce for a wet savoury-sweet taste
If you're in for something filling get the Ma Bo Lor Mee. A sticky, spicy thick brothed noodle dish. I added fried fish to mine for some extra protein.
#stervylicious #meepok - best day!! - decided to try this stall cos there's a queue at 630am for it.. :p must say i Love the Fishball . - must try - hock Lee Fishball noodles /#01-102
Lor Mee (yellow noodles w savoury starchy sauce). Enjoyed a bowl from Ma Bo #01-67. Sauce was very savoury (too much MSG?), fish nugget crispy. Basic bowl; don't expect crispy bits, shredded fish meat
Recommend the famous hundred years Hakka noodles! The noodles taste a bit blend, but the soup and ingredients are solid good. Prawns, meat ball, and tofu!
Sataybee hoon. Decent dish from Meng Hui #01-111. Compared to Teochew SatayBee Hoon (Tg Pagar food centre level 2) which I ate 4 days back, this stall not as substantial or flavourful, & is pricier
Trishaws. If u hv out-of-town guests who want to gamely take a ride on a trishaw, there's a tourist kiosk nxt to the food ctr. SGD 39/person for 30-min ride ard a fixed route in the area
Bak Chor Mee (minced pork noodles). 潮州面之家 #01-53 prepares a decent bowl. Generous with ingredients, especially liver. Only missing vegetables. This bowl $5
Did u know? Albert Street, from which Albert Centre got its name from, was named after Prince Albert, the consort of Queen Victoria of England. Source: Infopedia
Hokkien prawn mee. Cannot compare Traditional Queen St #01-61 with Tian Tian Lai (Toa Payoh Lor 1) but it's a decent dish. 2 prawns for $4. It sees non-stop traffic during mealtimes
DIY popiah: Homemade Springroll #01-80 also sells handmadePopiah skin ($15/kg), ground peanuts, crispy bits, chilli sauce, etc to host ur own Popiah party @ home :-)
Pig trotter meat rice. As a novelty, I’d pay the $4.90 to sample from Lin Ji #01-113. But that’s it. Rice bowl is served with salted vege & a slice of meatcake (the cousin of fishcake 😬)
The Lor Mee rocks! There's a reason y the Q is so long..the chicken pieces in the chicken cutletLor Mee, for instance, r huge, tasty, crunchy n fresh! Worth waiting in line..will try the fish next
Nice bar at Albert Court Hotel to chill and relax after a long day at work. Few North Indian restaurants to satisfy your taste buds too. I love to come here to shoot and take pictures :)
Chicken rice. Decent $3.50 set from Ricky Hainanese BonelessSteamed Chicken Rice #01-113. Soup had chicken essence, rice aromatic. Chicken could be more plump
Teochew-style fish soup: When I'm looking 4 something light & clean, I sometimes head to Angel Horse #01-95 (beside famous fishball stall Hock Lee). The usual fresh fish, tasty soup
Avoid this stall #01-103. owner is rude n food is plain n bland. Hard white rice with tasteless meat and bare minimum sauce. Avoid table in frnt of her. She invites her friends to join and push u out.
Yuan Ji fried carrot cake #01-59 the white carrot cake is big portion at $2.50 its enough for 2 person,personally think is quite salty when u eat more n more...
MSG in congee: Ate porkcongee fr Seng Huat #01-83. Thot I saw cook flick in a spoonful of whitish powder while preparing my bowl. It was tasty initially but I developed a headache 4 rest of day :-(
Congee (thick porridge): #01-78 serves a delightful range of 'jok'. Our fave varieties: century egg, fish & frog legs. Grab additional yu tiao (fried doughfritters) fr #01-115, to dip. Slurp!
Yong tau foo: There r 2 stalls: Tien Fook #01-116 & Bai Nian #01-58. TF has std offerings + laksa. BN serves fixed set of items (think Ampang YTF). Although soup tastes 'clean', most items r salty.
Crowded and hot but still the place to go for dry goods for the CNY because there are plenty of stores to compare prices. Most stores here accept CDC vouchers too!
百年客家面 (hakka mee) at #01-106 has a hooligan with coloured hair and tattooed arms. Saw him quarrel with customers twice. He said whenever he went mad, he would not care. Be careful of this guy!
