Tanjong Pagar Fried Kway Teow - Tanjong Pagar

Tanjong Pagar Hawker center is perhaps one of the busiest hawker center during lunch time. Its hard to get a seat. and you can see those rectangular plastic tissue thingies saving seat and table..
There are two Char Kway Teow Places that commands long queues, THe other one i already posted
This is the other one,
beside the Famous Nasi Lemak place that i will be featuring in the near future.
to compare this with The other Kway teow place..

this is the lighter version in terms of oilyness and sweetness. Both have good wok hei and fry their kway teow very well.. I will go here for lunch and go to Peter for dinner as this place only opens for lunch..

YA KUN KAYA TOAST ICE CREAM

Ice cream that doesnt melt quickly.. to see is to believe..
I have heard from friends and read on other blogs about this ice cream in Ya kun kaya that just doesnt melt that easily.. so when i had a chance to try it, i just had to observe and see iif it really doesnt melt
Ordered an assortment of flavor, from Durian, to strawberry, chocolate and cookies and cream..


i like the cookies and cream the best and here is the picture form the time i got it from the counter

and this is the picture 7 minutes after..
indeed, it didnt melt..
Anyway, i like the treat.. just like the ice cream you can get from the street but here the bread is toasted slightly so you get a slight crunch while eating it. A great way to cool down in the humid Singapore weather.

Somerset Delicacies - Maxwell Food Center

Maxwell food Center in my honest opinion ranks among the best hawker center in Singapore. There are a lot of Choices, whether you come here for breakfast lunch or dinner. Coveniently located near Chinatown and the Tanjong Pagar area. This is also one of the more famous hawker centers in the island. Going about my routine of checking out the whole center first before deciding what to eat, I chose this place with beautiful pictures.
Especialising in stir fried dishes.. well.. stir fried rice and stir fried noodles to be exact.
Ordered myself a Seafood Horfun Dish.. which came out looking like this..
I like that the noodles were cooked just right and the soy sauce blended the horfun evenly not like in other stalls that it comes in ugly patches.. The amount fo seafood were substantial.. but sadly.. it lacked in seasoning... the size of the dish was good for one hungry man or two semi hungry individuals.

Eng Kee Chicken Wings -

After a heavy meal at Two Chefs Eating Place.. while walking at the Coomonwealth area, i noticed this sign
and remember reading about this place in a couple of blogs.
The line here is said to never since, from the time it opens to the time it closes shop. The specialty of the stall... yes.. its so obvious... CHICKEN WINGS... Fried Chicken Wings.
To partner the wings are a choice of three kinds of noodles....
Here is what i got.. i wont be talking about the noodles.. just the WINGS

THe nice thing about this place. you know that your wings are cooked fresh; batch after batch, because of the volume of people in queue. Si even if you waited .. the important thing is that you food is served hot.
THere is a light coating on the wings.. its crispy and seasoned very very well. it is also marinated well, as you can taste it in the meat once you bite and chew it.
Truly one of the best fried chicken wings in the island.

Azmi Restaurant - Little India

1944, is the year that this place was opened.. serving Singapore with the best unleavened flat bread you can find in the whole Island. Located at the Corner of Serangoon and Norris St.


This coffee shop specializes in CHAPATI, and i mean specialize. They are the best at what they do. THe churned out Chapatis so quickly that they serve it to you right off the flat grill.
The place looks really run down, as if you are transported to the 40's- 50's era Even the people who serves you seem like they have been working here for years. Everything is done like clock work. Your order of Chapati, your side veggies,
your keema. THey said nothing change.. well, maybe the price. But everything is the same. so as they claim.
The chapati was indeed very very good.,
slightly toasted, soft, easy to handle and eat. I will never look at other chapati the same again and this will surely be my gold standard.

The perfect match to this is the lamb or mutton keema,
which is mince mutton, cooked into a thick stew like consistency, mixed with peas and diced potatoes. And, it was indeed perfect....i wipe the plate clean with my chapati.
To wash it all down was a cup of Teh tarik..
which was sadly a downer, as no foam came out of it....and tasted a bit bland
Anyway, This is truly a die die must try for Chapati lovers... a heritage food location.. i hope it can be passed to the next generation though...

Chinese Stall in Peoples Park Complex - 01-1130

This hawker center is one of the Busiest during the weekends, because of the throves of chinese migrants and foreign tourist who comes to Chinatown to see what is here, especially now that the Chinese New Year is fast approaching.
Was doing by routine of walking thru the hawker center, when i fancy eating a plate of Xiao Long Bao.. 6pcs for 4 dollars... i guess its cheap right?? Made within the premises, this places also does a variety of chinese dishes. But i guess their specialty are the buns as it is placed in the middle of the picture:)
So i got myself a plate. but sadly it looked like this....
a bit shrunk dont you think?
Good that it was served with black vinegar and slivers of ginger. But tastewise.. this was a bit of a letdown as i was expecting something more.. not much soup inside:(
The hawker center still have a lot to offer, like the places who does roast meats very well..

il Gelato Di Bruno - CityLink Mall, Raffles City

If you guys have been passing by the CityLink Mall.. you should have notice this palce nbeing built, and i was waiting for it to open and even more excited for this place to open than Hershey's Chocolate world.

This place has been open for the past 3 weeks, and scooping delectable gelatos.
You can try out different flavours first before ordering

They also allow you to mix and match flavours. Up to three flavours per serving. Sizes are small , medium and large
My order of Vanilla and Whiskey cream(small).


Botj of which are quite good, the consistency is really that of Gelato, Dense and creamy. No icy mouthfeel here. The vanilla was great and you can see they use real vanilla beans which i like, the Whiskey cream had just the right amount of alcohol in it. Very very nice.
They have an ongoing PROMO. 50 percent off on the prices from 6pm to 10pm, Sundays to Thursdays. So, from 6 SGd for the small serving, it goes down to 3SGD.
TRy it out.:)
