Sungei Road Laksa 结霜桥叻沙 (Jalan Besar)


Laksa $2
Sungei Road Laksa 结霜桥叻沙 (Jalan Besar) is a famous Laksa stall located at a coffee shop in Jalan Besar. It is around 10 minutes walk away from Lavendar MRT station and is located opposite Jalan Besar Food Centre.
Unlike most laksa stalls, Sungei Road Laksa occupies a large unit of the coffee shop. It was manned by 4 persons. 1 person took the orders and collect the money, 1 person cooks the Laksa while the remaining 2 persons prepare the ingredients.
Look at how systematic they are. Everything is arranged neatly.
Interestingly, the Laksa gravy is cooked using charcoal stove. Each bowl of Laksa cost $2. The version with more ngredients cost $3. Most people would order a few bowls of the $2 version. There would typically be a long queue at this stall. When I visited recently, there was 3 persons in front.
Laksa $2
The Laksa $2 is served with thick rice noodles, beansprouts, slices fish cakes and cockles. The cost of Laksa may seems cheap, but well, to me it was not value for money. The bowl is small and the ingredients are far from generous. 

Worst of all, the laksa gravy was thin and lacking in flavour, especially the shrimp flavour. Frankly, I do not know why this is so popular. 928 Yishun Laksa tastes way nicer and at $2.80 comes with more than double the amount of ingredients.

Hainan Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee 海南福建炒虾面 (Golden Mile Food Centre)

Fried Hokkien Prawn Noodles $3
Hainan Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee 海南福建炒虾面  is another popular stall at the hawker centre. It is located next to the famous chicken rice stall; Hainanese Boneless Chicken Rice 海南起骨鸡饭.
As its name suggest, Hainan Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee 海南福建炒虾面  sells Hokkien Prawn Noodles.
The version here is different from elsewhere, it is dry (very dry). The owner would allow the stock to simmer till it has evaporated and the flavours are adsorbed in the yellow noodles and beehoon. He would not be able to fry too many plates at any one time as he would need to keep stirring the noodles under intense heat to prevent them from being burnt and also seal the flavours and wok hei in.

During peak period, the waiting time maybe as long as half an hour as frying the Hokkien Prawn Noodles take time.
Fried Hokkien Prawn Noodles $3
This plate of Fried Hokkien Prawn Noodles $3 was delicious! It well executed and fried. I have never tried such a dry verison before. It was so dry that I am sure it would have been charred if he still left them in the work. The yellow noodles and beehoon were well coated with immense flavours and smokey fragrance. It was served with slices of pork belly, squid, small prawns, sambal chilli, cut chilli and lime. A must try

Eng Kee Fried Chicken Wings 榮記炸鷄翅膀 (Commonwealth)

Eng Kee Fried Chicken Wings 榮記炸鷄翅膀 is a well known stall located at a old coffee shop in Commonwealth Drive HDB estate. 
Eng Kee Fried Chicken Wings is essentially an economic noodle stall offering bee hoon, noodles, sausages, eggs, fishcakes, otah, luncheon meat, vegetables, etc.
This stall is well known for their fried chicken wings. There is a perceptual queue at this stall even during non-peak hours. It has been said that the original owner sold the stall off and has opened a new one at Red Hill Food Centre. 
I have heard so much about this stall and has been wanting to try this for ages. Since I was in the area, I decided to try this for myself. I ordered the noodles, bee hoon and two pieces of fried chicken wings. 
The noodles were average, a waste of calories. As for the chicken wings, they were the bomb! The chicken wings were big, meaty, tender and succulent! Very well executed frying technique as they were not greasy at all. The wings were just so juicy. At $1.20, this is just so value for money. The chicken wings at Eng Kee Fried Chicken Wings 榮記炸鷄翅膀  is a must try
$1.20 each
It was so good that I queue up again and packed  8 pieces of chicken wings back home. I envy those who live at the HDB flats nearby. I would practically be buying this every week if I am staying there.

Hua Kee Hougang Famous Wanton Mee (Old Airport Road Food Centre)

Wanton Mee $5
Hua Kee Hougang Famous Wanton Mee 華記后港祖傳馳名云吞麵 is a popular Wanton Mee stalll located at Old Airport Road Food Centre. It is just next to Cho Kee Noodle which is also another popular Wanton Mee Stall.
Hua Kee Hougang Famous Wanton Mee has more than 40 years of history. Their wanton mee is so popular because of two factors. One is because of the noodles. Their noodles are not bought off the shelf. Instead these are made according to their own recipe. Secondly, it is because of their special chilli sauce.
Wanton Mee $5
I upsized my Wanton Mee from $3.50 to $5. The bowl was literally filled to the brim with noodles, wantons, char siew and vegetables. 
Wanton Mee $5
The noodles tasted different from those else where. It was smooth, springy and not lumpy. It was soft and yet not to the extend of breaking easily. Their noodles remind me of the noodles I had at Fei Fei Wanton Mee

The wantons were real good. The skin was soft and smooth while the filings in it were tasty with bits of what seems like chestnut which provided a crunch. The char siew was not fantastic though. Although it was not dry, they could have charred the sides a little bit to provide a greater contrast in the taste and up the fragrance by a notch or two. As for the chilli sauce, it was unique. It was fragrant with just a very small hint of spiciness. It went very well with the noodles. I wonder how they made the chilli sauce. It could complement a whole range of food.

This bowl of Wanton Mee is delicious. If I am leaving nearby, I could well be eating this on a regular basis.

Fishball Story 鱼缘 (Golden Mile Food Centre)

Fishball Noodles (Mee Pok) $3.50
Fishball Story 鱼缘 is a hawker stall manned by a young hawker, Douglas Ng, 24, specialising in serving fishball noodles. The stall is located at level one of Golden Mile Hawker Centre at Lavendar. 

So what is so unique about Fishball Story other than the fact that it is manned by a 'young hawker'? Or in marketing terms, its called USP (Unique Selling Point). Well, unlike other (most) fishball stalls, the fishballs and chilli-scallion fishcakes are all handmade! He would arrive as early as 4am to blend the fish paste. The fishballs are made entirely from yellow tail fish with no flour.
 In case you are wondering, the queue here is short. The most number of people i have seen queuing here is around 5. Sometimes, there is no queue.
Fishball Noodles (Mee Pok) $3.50
I ordered Mee Pok Fishball Noodles (dry) $3.50.
Fishball Noodles (Mee Pok) $3.50
It comes fishballs, chilli-scallion fishcakes, fish dumpling (herh qiao), mee pok, pork lard, shallots, lettuce and sambal chilli sauce!
Fishball Noodles (Mee Pok) $3.50
What was fantastic to me was the mee pok and the sambal chilli sauce. The mee pok was cooked perfectly; just nice! As for the sambal chilli sauce which was cooked with hae bi (dried shrimps), it was so fragrant and addictive; outstanding! When mixed with the noodles, it complemented the noodles perfectly; lip smacking! Just the noodles and the sambal chilli sauce itself would suffice for me!

Frankly speaking, when I first tried the handmade fishballs, I was surprised. I did not like the initial taste. The exterior of the fishball was firm, but the interior was tough, not bouncy and not spongy. I am probably too used to factory made fishballs and was not used to this version of handmade fishballs with no flour.

I went back again two weeks later as I really missed the noodles and sambal chilli noodles (no joke!). It was still as good. This time I got used to the fishballs and enjoyed them more. This is a case of the more you have it the more you will love it.

I can forsee myself coming back for more fishball noodles (especially the sambal chilli)! Going to rate this as a die die must try!
