Chomp Chomp Food Centre (Hawker Centre) is located at located at Kensington Park Road, Serangoon Gardens. The nearest MRT station is Serangoon and you would need to take a 10-15 minutes bus ride to reach this Food Centre.
The structure of Chomp Chomp is narrow with little walking space. In terms of ventilation, it is pretty bad. The low roof which keeps the smoke from the various barbecue stalls in, leads to a warm environment. You are bound to smell and work up a sweat when eating at this food centre.

Unlike other Hawker Centre, Chomp Chomp is relatively small with just 36 stalls and limited seating capacity. It a challenge getting seats especially if you are with a big group. In the day time, most stalls are closed in Chomp Chomp. It springs to life only in the evening (5pm) when the stalls start opening for business and customers start flocking in. Despite these shortcomings, Singaporeans like myself love this place. It is a food paradise with a wide variety of affordable local delicacies!
I visited Chomp Chomp on a Thursday night at 730pm thinking that since it was a weekday, there would not be many people. Well, I was wrong. Chomp Chomp was packed with people! It was difficult getting a table for four person. We had to strategically position ourselves (like vultures) at certain tables, hoping to 'secure' a table. It was nearly 20 minutes later, before we got a table for four. Do remember to take note of your table number. This is because you would need this number when ordering as all the food (including drinks such as sugar cane) would be served to you at your table. As for payment, some stalls would collect payment upon order while some stalls would collect payment only upon serving the food at your table. Some customers maybe concerned about this, but I have never encountered any instances where by the food was not served after payment.

There were at least three barbecue (BBQ) Chicken Wing stalls at Chomp Chomp Food Centre. We ordered ours from Daily Fresh BBQ Chicken Wings 夜鲜烧烤鸡翅膀 which was located next to Chomp Chomp Hai Wei Yuan Seafood BBQ 忠忠海味园BBQ海鲜烧烤.

Each piece of BBQ Chicken Wing from Daily Fresh BBQ Chicken Wings cost $1.20. In fact, all the BBQ Chicken Wing stalls in Chomp Chomp sell their chicken wings at the same price.

The BBQ Chicken Wings from Daily Fresh BBQ Chicken Wings were tender and succulent. I love the charred parts especially those near the tail end of the wings. Like most people, I preferred to squeeze the lime over the chicken wings to give them an extra zest. Having said that, I am of the opinion that the BBQ Chicken Wings were good, but not fantastic. The natural flavour was not brought out and it lacked the fragrant aroma which is the hallmark of a well-executed piece of BBQ Chicken Wing. The chilli sauce provided was quite good and played the perfect role as a dipping sauce, enhancing the overall taste up a notch.

The lime juice on top is also sort of must for me and of course, none of the pieces will enter my mouth with a good punchy chili sauce.
ReplyDeleteLove these bbq wings! Just had some at AMK, followed by another round at Bedok Hawker. The one at bedok is a far cry; tasteless & rubbery :< I like mine to be crispy on the outside.
