You still BOY ah? Prata: Not sure you have tried the one at Thomsom Road near the reservoir....tried once when my fren brought me there....crispy, curry not bad. If you wan to stray away from Jalan Kayu or the NUS one...Hokkien mee: My all time favourite....tried at Geylang (can't remember the street liao...tink it was 30+ or 40+) and also the one near to Jalan Besar....so far so good. Just had one at Vivo City but dun taste as nice...Hainanese chicken rice: Definitely one of my regular meal anytime any week but there are so many versions of chicken rice. Have you tried the one at Yishun Central? Near to POSB bank, quite crowded during weekends and patrons come from as far as Pasir Ris. There is also another at a Bishan coffeeshop near to Junction 8 that always had long Qs but had not been able to try yet. Another would be the Kampung chicken rice along Bukit Timah road opp. Bukit Timah shopping centre, not too bad though as I am quite fussy with chicken rice or duck rice....

chubbylover Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Harlow Steman,OMG can you be more specific? Hokkien mee: My all time favourite....tried at Geylang (can't remember the street liao...tink it was 30+ or 40+) and also the one near to Jalan Besar....so far so goodIf this is your all time favourite stall, how come you cannot remember the street number? lorong 30+ and lorong 40+ is a lot of difference you know? The one near to Jalan Besar...equally vague: which part? which road? any landmarks nearby? Another would be the Kampung chicken rice along Bukit Timah road opp. Bukit Timah shopping centre, not too bad though as I am quite fussy with chicken rice or duck rice....Are you referring to 5 star chicken rice, located a few shops down from Boon Tiong Kee?

I cant really remember the stall on the exact street as my friend was the one driving and as you know as passenger most of the time we just follow.... Wil try to find out from my friend when he is free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sells: Crocodile(hmmmm Buaya?) fillet steak, deep fried quail sandwiches znd steaks.and a few other stalls in singapore.....can try to log in to the straits times website if they are free to view the picture of the crocodile leg.....haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fm am Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Stumbled across this wonderful fish porride stall along Smith Food Street after coming out of Yclub. The stall is directly opposite- unimaginatively called Tiong Bahru Hua Yuan Fish Porridge- it serves the best 'rice' porridge I have tasted for a long time. Only $3 for a steamingly good eat. Somemore the owner also very nice and polite. Highly recommended. Yesterday when I ordered the porridge, I saw that it was also recommended by Makansutra among others.

Asura Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 I know of a stall of Hokkien Fried Prawn Noodle in Tampines Street 82 block 844.He uses noodle and thin bee hoon when he fried the prawn noodle. His chilly is superb too! There is ikan billies inside the chilly. The stall used to sell 2.50 for a plate for 10 years in the same coffee shop. The coffee shop had just under-gone a renovation and now one plate is $3.But I will still eat it, its so nice Anyone try that stall before? Quote It's just me....

erection day Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 Oh good- the revamped Old Airport Road food centre has just reopen last Sunday after being closed for renovation since March. Many good food stalls there- My favourite is the Toa Payoh Rojak and the Lor Mee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
