Holland Village XO Fish Head Bee Hun Restaurant 荷兰村XO鱼头米粉酒楼 (Dover)
XO Fish Head Bee Hoon XO鱼头米粉 $7 |
This stall is also well-known for their customer service which is terrible. Despite that, they still attract customers from all over the island. It is a testimony of how good their XO Fish Head Bee Hoon is.
This reminds me of some Hong Kong cha chaan teng where the more the service attitude is terrible, the better the food tastes.
The zi char stall sells a variety of food. You will need to ask for their menu. As you can see from the signage, the prices of their most popular item is clearly displayed. This reduces the number of requests for the menu as many people are here for just the XO Fish Head/Meat Bee Hoon.
For myself, I made a special trip down to specially their XO Fish Head Bee Hoon.

The XO Fish Head Bee Hoon was delicious! The soup which was cloudy, was tasty, creamy and intense XO taste. Surprisingly, I liked the soup and drank most of it. Not bad for someone who does not fancy liquor. Slices of ginger was added to balanced out the flavours and get rid of any unpleasant fishy smell. They were so generous as there was so many chunks of fried fish head in the bowl. They had given nearly the whole fish head (lips, grills, eyes, etc). Moreover, the fish head was so fresh.
Now I understand why the XO Fish Head Bee Hoon has been so highly raved about. In my opinion it is a real hearty bowl of XO Fish Head and value for money.

This is my second time back at Kok Sen Restaurant. Their signature Big Prawn Bee Hoon Soup and Big Prawn Hor Fun are fantastic! These two dishes are a must try. But do note that you may expect long waiting times at times and not-so-fantastic service. But the food would make up for it.

Guan Kee Fried Kway Teow 源记炒粿条 (Ghim Moh Food Centre) 2nd post
Fried Kway Teow $4 |
This stall continues to be one of the most popular stall in the hawker centre. It has the longest queue and I queue nearly an hour during lunch time on Friday. The owner has been frying Kway Teow for 46 years!
As the stall names suggests, only Fried Kway Teow is available. Depending on the portion you want, it is available at $3, $4, $5. Most people order more than 1 plate / packet since they had queued so long.Fried Kway Teow $4 |
I orderd the $4 Fried Kway Teow. It was delicious!!
The Fried Kway Teow had a semi-wet consistency and each piece of kway teow was well coated with savoury sauce. There were several pieces of cockles added when the dish was nearly ready. The beansprouts provided a crunchy texture in between each mouthful. Chinese sausage (lap Cheong) were added too, it would have been great if more pieces were given. There were several pieces pork lard added in it and it was da bomb! The burst of flavour and fragrance from pork lard made this so addictive!! A must try!

Teo's Noodles (Bedok Interchange Food Centre)
Fishball Minced Meat Noodles With Razor Clams $4 |
Teo's Noodles is a popular traditional Fishball Minced Meat Noodles (aka Bak Chor Mee) stall located at Bedok Interchange Food Centre which is just minutes away from the Bedok MRT station and interchange.
Teo's Noodles is very popular and I understand that their food can get sold out as early as 12pm on certain days. I visited on a weekday at 9am and was surprised to see a queue (of about 6 persons) at this stall.Menu |
Fishball Minced Meat Noodles With Razor Clams $4 |
I ordered the Fishball Minced Meat Noodles With Razor Clams $4. I requested for the dry version with chilli and mee pok.
Fishball Minced Meat Noodles With Razor Clams $4 |
It was served with a bowl of soup that was filled with fishball, meatball, button mushroom, minced meat, and otah fishcakes and normal fishcakes.
The Fishball Minced Meat Noodles With Razor Clams was delicious! The bowl of noodles was well cooked. The mixture of chilli sauce and vinegar complemented the noodles perfectly. In addition, the crispy bits of pork lard was the icing on the cake. The bowl of noodles which contained all the "liao" (i.e fishball, meatball, button mushroom, minced meat, and otah fishcakes and normal fishcakes) was decent. My only complaint is that they could have been more generous with the ingredients especially the minced meat.

I will certainly patronise this stall again if I visit the hawker centre.

Tracy Juice Culture (Fortune Centre)
Tracy's Special Udon $6.90 |
Tracy Juice Culture has a small seating capacity of around 25. Most of the days when I pass by during dinner/lunch time, the eatery is packed. I visited on a Saturday afternoon and the eatery was packed as usual.
Tracy’s Special Udon is something which I had always wanted to try. Whenever I walk pass the eatery, I always smell the aromatic fragrance. This is a dish which nearly everyone orders.
Tracy's Special Udon $6.90 |
The Tracy’s Special Udon $6.90 consist of Japanese Udon served with mushrooms, broccoli, mock meat, and cherry tomatoes in a soup base that is made from tomatoes and parsley blended with mushrooms. The highlight is the soup which is so (souperlicious) delicious! It was so good that I drank every single bit, till the bowl was sparkling clean (everyone does that too). As for the rest of the ingredients they were average. They could have cooked the broccoli a little long as they were a tad too hard and the mushrooms were hard and dry. A pity the mushrooms did not adsorb the essence of the soup, else it would have been fantastic. Nevertheless, the wonderfully executed soup made up for it.

761 Fishball Noodles (Yishun)
Minced Meat Noodles (mee kia dry with chilli) $3 |
761 Fishball Noodles is located in a coffeeshop at Blk 761 at Yishun Street 72. The stall operates in the morning to early afternoon offering fishball noodles, minced meat noodles (bak chor mee) and laksa.
The waiting time is at least 20 minutes even on weekdays. Not an easy feat considering all the other stalls including other neighbourhood stalls have a lesser waiting time.
Minced Meat Noodles (mee kia dry with chilli) $3 |
I have eaten at this stall several times. Every time I would order the Minced Meat Noodles (mee kia dry with chilli) $3, also known as Bak Chor Mee. They have got every aspect just right. The noodles was cooked just right and was not lumpy. The chilli sauce along with the noodles and minced meat was delicious. As for the fishballs, they were big, bouncy and not fishy.
The Minced Meat Noodles may not be the best, but it was certainly delicious. This is probably one of the reason why the waiting time is so long even on a weekday! Worth a try if you are staying around this area!

River South (Hoe Nam) Prawn Noodles 河南肉骨大虾面 (Macpherson)
Abalone Clams & Big Prawn Noodles $5.50 |
River South (Hoe Nam) Prawn Noodles as its name suggest specialises in prawn noodles. It is so popular and famous that it owns the entire coffeeshop and in fact is the only stall in that coffeeshop (other than the drink stall). This reminds me of the famous Bak Chor Mee (minced meat noodles); Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle which also owns the entire coffeeshop.
They offer a wide range of prawn noodles (normal prawns or big prawns) with the option to add abalone clams, intestines, pig tails or baby abalone.
Abalone Clams & Big Prawn Noodles $5.50 |
I visited on a weekday at around 2.30 pm. I wanted to order their Intestines & Big Prawn Noodles but it was sold out. Hence, I ordered the Abalone Clams & Big Prawn Noodles $5.50 instead.
I ordered the dry version which was served with a bowl of soup. The chilli sauce was decent. What stood out was the freshness of the prawns. Although there were not very big, the prawns were extremely fresh and sweet in taste. Also, the prawns were deshelled, except for the head and tail.
The bowl of soup also stood out. It was yummlicious! In terms of appearance, it was slightly cloudy and light brown in colour. Taste wise, it was robust and tasty; full of umami flavour. It is one of the best prawn soup I have had. Unfortunately, there is a charge of $1 for refill of soup. Else, I would probably have refilled the soup several times.
