Newton Song Kee Teochew Fish Porridge (纽頓松记魚粥）

Newton Song Kee Teochew Fish Porridge (纽頓松记魚粥）

 

Very cheng cheng (clear soup) and not adding MSG (if any will not be a lot) as after eating the porridge – you do not feel very thirsty.  The batang fish is very fresh.  The only regret is the tipo (deep fried sole fish) is not given enough and making the porridge a bit bland.  I like to have more condiment (fried garlic / tipo etc) to be added to have more shiok taste.  But if like to have real cheng cheng porridge, this stall is good.  $5 / $8.  The fishes are not very generous – probably the rental is killing them (which I can understand).

Eng Huat Fishball Mee （永發魚圆面）

Eng Huat Fishball Mee （永發魚圆面）

Yes Meepok again!  I am a mee pok man.  Cannot resist on mee pok.  This stall was formerly from the old Zion hawker centre (next to the point block) and has now moved to this L shaped Havelock hawker centre (very old hawker centre).  You will find so many good food in this hawker centre (Char Siew rice, Laksa, Prawn Mee, Curry Rice, Turtle Soup, Balanchan Fish, FIsh Soup, DU DU Kway etc etc).

 

The old aunty is still manning the stall with his sons.  The uniqueness of this stall is their handmade fishball and the fishcake ($2 per piece).  They are really fresh and very nice as compared to some stall that get from the factory.  Be there early as normally before 12 30 – they have sold out.  But if you are eating other food – do remember to buy from them the fried fish cake !

Unfortunately – the noodle is not very well cook.  Though it is not those that left with lots of water ( I hate those cooking style), the noodles are not QQ enough.  The worst part is their chili.  Understand they use very bland technique – without adding any balanchan or dried shrimp etc.  It makes the chili very very bland.

Lian Heng Food Stall Toa Payoh Mee Siam

Lian Heng Food Stall Toa Payoh Mee Siam

This corner stall is located in Toa Payoh Blk 127 – my favourite hawker centre where they sell the overrated Cheng San Carrot cake and the teochew pao.  I pass y the stall many times but always saw a long queue and not sure what they selling.  Last Sunday went to eat Ah Piaw Mee Pok and realized they have closed down (need to track them down) and saw this stall has no queue and told my wife lets give it a try.  As usual, my wife eat anything I ordered.  The stall sell Laksa, Lor Mee, Prawn Mee and Mee Rebus.  I look around and there are many tables ordered the mee siam – so I thought it may be good.

 

Turn up – yes it is good !  The sauce is very well done with a pinch of lime juice and the asam and the chili paste is well cooked.  It is old school styles – not too spicy or sweet.  I must say it is very well balance – spiciness / Sweetness, and sourly taste. I enjoy the mee siam very much.  We also ordered the Prawn Mee – very bland and normal!

Bismillah Biryani

Bismillah Biryani

 

Probably the best Bryani in Singapore.   By calling it “Dum” Biryani, “Dum” means that the Biryani is cooked by baking the rice with the meat and spices in a large pot.   The one that you have at the hawker centre is rice and curry chicken / mutton are served separately.  Over here, there is no curry serve.  Everything chicken or mutton is cooked together with all the herds and rice together.  There are so good that they were recently awarded the Bib Gourmand 2016 !  They have a new branch (I have not been there) at North Point near Bouna Vista.  The one at Dunlop street is a bit no Michelin standard lah haha.  But who care if the food is good !

Tanjong Rhu Wanton Noodles (丹戎禺云吞面),

Tanjong Rhu Wanton Noodles

They have moved from the coffee shop (next door) to this new hawker centre.  It is vary famous among the katong people.  I find it so so !  The noodles is ok – quite QQ but the chili is the let down.  Char Siew also too much lean meat and tasteless.  The wonton and shrimp dumpling are ok but not spectacular.  Only good thing is that you do not need to queue for a long time.  Inddeed, the roti coffess stall near the stall has super queue (for rotu kaya)!

Meng Kee Mushroom Minced Meat Noodle at Tai Thong Cresent (明记香菇肉脞面),

Meng Kee Mushroom Minced Meat Noodle

Ok, this mee pok stall is located as the same famous Zhong Zhong wuxian xia pin stall at the coffee shop near the former McPherson Jackson coffee shop (now become condominium).  The mee pok is the bak chor type and the liow given is pretty generous.  The noodles are quire QQ, chili ok (nothing special but passable), soup are quite tasty.  I like the teochew soup dumpling – it is quite well done and tsasty.  Overall not bad !  6.5 / 10

 If you are craving for abalone – you can order added abalone slices.  Bu my advice is always wiser to buy a can of abalone from supermart and cut it from home and bring to the coffee shop and add to the noodles more worth it !  haha.  Because there is no diff whether they add the abalone by the uncle or yourself – they taste the same.  The diff is $$$$.

Bee Kee Wonton Noodles (Lor Liew Lian) 美記云吞面

Bee Kee Wonton Noodles (Lor Liew Lian)

I learnt about this stall from  the food review by a newspaper article.  Never really put in the effort to try the stall till one Sunday morning sending my kid to the tuition at Kovan and remembered about this stall and give it a try.  I like the coffee shop here because there are plenty of “illegal” parking lot in front and if ” matah” come – just run quickly to move the car away !

Ok, back to the review of the noodles.  The liow (ingredient) is quite generous.  For $3 – get the boil wonton and the fried wonton with quite a few slices of the char siew.  For a good wonton mee – as I keep repeating myself – the combination of QQ noodles, good chili, tasty wonton, good char siew and the cooking of the noodles are paramount important.  Unfortunately Bee Kee only pass one check box – the char siew.  The rest are edible but it is not a stall (like the one at Cheng Seng Tekka or Tanjong Katong Eng noodles) that you will be craving for.

545 Whampoa Prawn Noodles 黄埔虾面

545 Whampoa Prawn Noodles

 

The stall is manned by an old uncle and a young lady – supposed to be his daughter.  The stall was very famous in the early day at Balestier street and subsequently moved to Whampoa and now at Tekka market.

I wanted to order the soup version but seeing most of the customers in front of me ordered the dry version and decided to give it a try.  I order Mee mixed with kway tiow (since no sign or mee gia or mee pok) and the aunty stared at me and like I am an alien.  Yes they only have mee and thin bee hoon.  2 types only.  Ok – I told her bee hoon mee (but I know it it not going to be nice as bee hoon in dry version always a let down).

The prawns slices are very generous and the old uncle using very good quality prawn and credit go to them on the ingredient.  Other than the big chunk of prawns and the generous fried shallot – the rest are quite a disappointment.  The chili is bland and not much taste.  The soup is even bland and not much of a prawn taste.  3.5 / 10
