Seng Huat Prawn Noodles 成發 (Telok Blangah Drive Food Centre)

Prawn Noodles $3

Seng Huat Prawn Noodles 成發 is probably the most popular stall at Telok Blangah Drive Food Centre judging from the queue whenever it is open. As age is catching up with the owner of the stall, the stall is now closed 3 days a week instead of 2 days. Whenever the stall is open, Sat to Mon, there is a queue at the stall.

I visited the stall during weekday lunch time. There was a queue of around 7 persons in front of me. It was around 20 minutes of waiting time. Interestingly, I noticed that the signage of the stall indicates that it sold fishball noodles too. But everyone was ordering prawn noodles!

Prawn Noodles $3

I ordered the $3.00 prawn noodles, dry with chilli. I was impressed by the generous serving of ingredients given for the price. The prawns were sliced into half and deshell except for the tail end. Moreover, the prawns were deveined! Most other stalls do not bother to do this as it is tedious.

Prawn Noodles $3

The prawns were fresh, firm and easy to savour as it was deshelled. Also the sambal chilli sauce was delicious! It was so fragrant and addictive that it reminded me of Fishball Story’s chilli sauce! I can eat the noodles with the chilli sauce all day!

Having tried the prawn noodles, I now know why it has been so highly raved about! Give it a try before the owners retire!

Song Heng Fishball Noodles 松興魚丸粿條面 (Telok Blangah Crescent Market & Food Centre)

Kway Teow Noodles $3

Every time I am at Telok Blangah Crescent, I am bound to see a queue at Song Heng Fishball Noodles 松興魚丸粿條面 whenever it is open. The queue is the reason why I decided to try this stall and ironically also why I am unable to eat it frequently, due to the waiting time.

The fishball noodles start from $2.50. I always order the $3 version. If you are a fan of Mee Pok, come early! It is frequently sold out by 1pm and customers would need to order other type of noodles.

The fishball noodles that you get from this stall is old-school style. There are no fanciful ingredients and nothing to shout about. But it is a decent bowl of fishball noodles which when mixed with the sauces taste so good. Also, the fishballs are handmade, not factory made, are of different sizes, fresh springy and bouncy. The other plus point is that the owner is so generous with the amount of noodles!

Mee Pok $3

If intend to eat at this stall, do come early. Although the closing time is 3pm, the stall typically closes earlier as they would be sold out at 2pm at times.

Cai Chuan Tou Mutton Soup 柴船头羊肉汤 (Bukit Merah View Food Centre)

Mutton Mixed Bowl

I have heard about this mutton soup stall for some time, but have not given a thought to give it a try. This is because of its location, short operating hours and the perpetual long queue at the stall. It was only after it got the Michelin Bib Gourmand award that I decided to give it a try.

I went at 12.30pm on a weekday and brave the queue with slightly more than 20 persons in front of me. Surprisingly, I queued for just 25 minutes as the service, including ordering, cooking and cutting the parts, was quick.

Menu

Using tongs instead of hand as it is hot

Cai Chuan Tou Mutton Soup as its name suggests specialises in mutton soup. They sell a whole range of mutton meat/parts ranging from meat, ribs, meatballs, tendon, stomach to even the most exotic part, the brain! Since I did not know what to order, wanted to try as many variety as I could without feeling brave enough to try the brains, I decided to go for the Mutton Mixed Bowl.

Mutton Mixed Bowl

The Mutton Mixed Bowl consisted of meat, meatballs and stomach. The Mutton Soup was lightly flavoured and had a very very mild herbal taste. Interestingly, despite the mild flavours, there was no pungent gamey taste of mutton in the soup. As for the mutton meat, it was tender. In fact, I noticed that mutton ribs were also given and for the ribs, their meat were practically folk tender! As for the mutton meatballs and stomach, there was nothing much to shout about as I felt that there was not much taste in the meat. In fact, everything tasted so light and was so mildly flavoured. This is coming from a guy who does not like salty food or extremely sweet stuff.

If you are keen to try this, be there early as I heard that they can close as early as 1.30pm when they sell out all the parts.

(Read with a pinch of salt or two) Personally, I do not understand the hype and why the stall has gotten the Michelin Bib Gourmand award while others have not. The unique selling point I felt was more towards price. It is so cheap!  Mutton dishes are typically more expensive elsewhere. For mutton soup, I prefer Ivy's Hainanese Herbal MuttonSoup version.
