Jia Xiang 佳香 (Red Hill Food Centre)

 

Follow the queue and you will never go wrong. When I visited Red Hill Hawker Centre, I noticed there was a long queue in front of this stall calls Jia Xiang. The stalls sells Nasi Lemak, Long Tong and Mee Siam. Surprisingly, nearly everyone except 1 person in from of me ordered the Mee Siam. The one person ordered Long Tong. No one ordered Nasi Lemak.

Following the crowd, I ordered the $3 Mee Siam. 

It was really good! The star ingredient was the Mee Siam gravy. The mix in flavours of tangy, sweet and spice was perfectly balance. None of them overwhelmed the other.

The little bits of fried croutons was the icing on the cake as it provided a crunchy and crisp texture to the dish. 

This is one of the best Mee Siam I had. Worth another visit! 

Since I was at Red Hill hawker centre, I just had to also ordered the Yon Yan 永焱 fried chicken wings. While many have said that their standard has dropped, I still like it!

Hai Nan Xing Zhou Beef Noodles 海南星洲牛肉粉 (Kim Keat Palm Market & Food Centre)

Beef Noodle (Dry) $5

Hai Nan Xing Zhou Beef Noodles 海南星洲牛肉粉 has been operating for close to 70 years. The stall used to be located at Cuppage Centre before moving to its current location at Kim Keat Palm Market & Food Centre.

 Tip: Visit during off-peak hour as the queue is known to be slow moving.  

The beef noodle is served in either dry or wet version for $4 or $5.

Beef Noodle (Dry) $5

This bowl of Beef Noodle (Dry) $5 came with generous slices of beef meat.

Beef Noodle (Dry) $5

I felt that the slices of beef were overcooked as they were on the tough end and not as tenderised (or melt in the mouth) as what I hoped for. Thankfully, the dark, rich, gooey sauce made up for it. The sauce was not salty and had hints of beefy flavour. The sauce complemented the beef slices and thick bee hoon well. 

The bowl of accompanying cloudy brown soup was tasty with hints of beefy flavours too.

Old Long House Popiah 老長屋薄餅 (Kim Keat Palm Market & Food Centre)

$1.60 Popiah

The origin of Popiah was believed to be from the Fujian Province in China. It is also known as the Spring Roll as it was made and eaten during Spring period when the farmers harvest their vegetables. 

In Singapore, the older generation would understand the significance of Popiah as it was a household dish in the past. Popiah would be eaten during significant occasions and provided a good bonding opportunity. 

Old Long House Popiah 老長屋薄餅 is located at Kim Keat Palm Market & Food Centre. This stall is located at a corner of the hawker centre and its not hard to find it as it is located along the same row as Hai Nan Xing Zhou Beef Noodles and Lai Heng Cooked Food Stall. 

The Popiah is sold for $1.60 each.

Each piece is freshly made upon order.

$1.60 Popiah

This $1.60 Popiah from Old Long House Popiah stall at Kim Keat Food Centre is surprisingly delicious. The popiah was tightly packed and full of ingredients. Despite its plain and boring appearance, each bite was accompanied with little burst of flavours and texture. There was a crunch with every mouthful too!

$1.60 Popiah

Another look at ingredients in the popiah.

This is one of the best popiah I have eaten. Give it a try!
