Western Food at Alexandra Hospital Cafeteria
If you like western food and is somewhere near the Queenstown area, just head for the cafeteria at Alexandra Hospital. Inside this small aircon cafeteria, is a stall selling western food. My friend ordered the chicken chop and I had the pancakes. The pancake comes in three pieces, together with honey and butter. I must say, it was much better than the ones sold at fast food outlets. And it cost only S$1.50. The chicken chop was just as good and cost S$3.50.

Fried Hokkien Mee in Marine Parade
Fried Hokkien Mee is my fav hawker food. My fav stalls are located at Serangoon Road, Old Airport Road and Lor 1 Toa Payoh. Recently, I discovered one in Marine Parade Central Food Centre (Blk 84). The good thing about Ah Liang Fried Hokkien Mee is that it is not as oily as those sold at Serangoon and Toa Payoh. Tell Ah Liang (Stall No 01-135)to wrap your mee in opal leaf. Take it home and eat it after 30mins. The taste is so much better than eating it straight off the wok.

Three Heavenly Kings of Malay Food
To me, the three heavenly kings of malay food are Mee Rebus, Mee Siam and Lontong. So, I was delighted to find a shop in the city centre selling all three dishes. Coffeeshop 93, located along Killiney road, is run by a group of Malay women. Of the three dishes sold here, I would rate the lontong as the best, followed by mee rebus and mee siam. Each plate cost $3.00. The lontong is usually sold out by lunch time as they start selling at 7am. This shop is also known for their hugh curry puffs. The curry puffs come with two types of fillings, potatoes and sardines.

Mutton Soup and Pork Trotters Beehoon at Ghim Moh
You will find many lecturers and teachers from the nearby polytechnic and schools having their lunch here. The main attaction is the mutton soup. The herbal taste is not too overpowering. The mutton does not have the strong smell and is very tender. What caught my attention is a stall selling ngoh hiang. Instead of the usual plain fried beehoon, they fried the beehoon with pork trotters. It taste good. However, the ngoh hiang was disappointing. The two stalls are located inside Elijah Coffeeshop at Blk 11 Ghim Road Road.

If you like fried mee siam, you will surely love this stall at Blk 93 Lorong 4 Toa Payoh. Their fried mee siam has a tangy taste. But after a few bites, you will be addicted. "A Little Extra Kitchen" is located next to stall no. 01-164 and is open only in the morning.Thursday, March 16, 2006

Despite modernisation, you can still find some shops selling traditional food. The art of making traditional kuehs, with hands, not machines, is fast fading in Singapore. One such shop remaining is located at Everton Park, opposite the new CID building. This shop makes and sells traditional Ang Ku Kueh. The best sellers are the salted and sweet bean paste Ang Ku Kueh, each piece cost $0.40. The yam paste and peanut cost $0.50 each. If you are lucky, you may find the rare "chin toi chai" on sale.

Kueh Dadar at Tiong Bahru
I have brought Kuehs at this shop many times, but did not realise they have a long tradition in kueh making until I ate at the shop and spoke to the friendly lady Boss. Apparently, they operated a shop at Killiney road in the early 60s and 70s. Many top government officials patronised them. It was the only shop that sells Kueh Dadar with white grated coconut, instead of the brown sugar coated coconut. Following tradition, she still goes to the market every morning to buy fresh young coconut for her Kueh Dadar's filling. Wrapped in thick pandan pancake, it is simply delicious. Her Ubi Kayu, Kueh Konsi and onde onde are all excellent. Her new creation is the fried chinese nian kow in batter. Glacier confectionery is located next to the corner coffeeshop at the mouth of Tiong Poh Road. Monday, March 13, 2006

Korean Food at Thomson
Auntie Kim's is the name of a restaurant along Thomson Road, opposite the Thomson Road Post Office. This restaurant serves Korean food tailored for Singaporean. For example, the bean paste tofu soup has two versions, one hot and kimchi spicy for true lovers of Korean food and one saltish for locals. The Korean pancake is a nice starter, quite like our "orh luak" but much less oily. The chicken/beef on hotplate is ordinary. Our meal came with a complimentary appetizer of 6 traditional Korean cold dishes.

Pork Ribs and Mushroom Noodles at Bishan
This stall has got some media publicity for its mushroom minced pork noodles. But I prefer the pork ribs noodles. The pork ribs is very tender and aromatic. You can request for both mushroom and pork ribs. The dry version is better. The shop is located at Blk 150A, Bishan Street 11. There are two coffeeshops facing each other. To locate the stall, lookout for the sign board with an award winning certificate and photos of some TV stars.

Teochew Porridge at Pek Kio
This stall is very popular with taxi drivers. Located just outside the CBD, in a quiet housing estate, is a lone coffeeshop selling Teochew porridge. I like the fish cakes as they are made every morning by using a spoon to scrap the meat from the fresh fish. The egg omelet with small shrimps is a favorite with all the patrons of this stall. Also good is the bean paste with minced meat and fried cabbage. The coffeeshop is located along Cambridge Road, opp Pek Kio Community Centre, my childhood playground.
