Toast Box Seats

2012-01-28T10:07:00.000+08:00

The chairs aren't comfortable at Toast Box. They are small and I think it is not meant for customers to stay too long like at McDonald or StarBuck where one could relaxed after a meal. This is a good strategy but I don't think customers are ignorant of this fact. TB would continue to do well but if there is another evenly matched outlet comes along, TB would lose a lot of it's customers.

Laksa

2010-05-31T21:24:00.001+08:00

Curry laksa (in many places referred to simply as “laksa”) is a coconut-based curry soup. The main ingredients for most versions of curry laksa include tofu puffs, fish sticks, shrimp and cockles. Some vendors may sell chicken laksa. Laksa is commonly served with a spoonful of sambal chilli paste and garnished with Vietnamese coriander, or laksa leaf, which is known in Malay as daun kesum.
This is usually known as "Curry mee" in Penang rather than curry laksa, due to the different kind of noodles used (yellow mee or bee hoon, as opposed to the thick white laksa noodles). Curry Mee in Penang uses congealed pork blood, a delicacy to the Malaysian Chinese community. Two of the well known places to try curry mee is at Lorong Seratus Tahun and Chulia Street.[citation needed]
The term "Curry laksa" is more commonly used in Kuala Lumpur or Singapore. Laksa is popular in Singapore and Malaysia, as are laksa yong tau foo , lobster laksa, and even plain laksa, with just noodles and gravy.
Variants of curry laksa include:
Laksa lemak, also known as nyonya laksa (Malay: Laksa nyonya), is a type of laksa with a rich coconut gravy. Lemak is a culinary description in the Malay language which specifically refers to the presence of coconut milk which adds a distinctive richness to a dish. As the name implies, it is made with a rich, slightly sweet and strongly spiced coconut gravy. Laksa lemak is usually made with a fish-based gravy (with vegetarian food stalls omitting fish) and is heavily influenced by Thai laksa (Malay: Laksa Thai), perhaps to the point that one could say they are one and the same.
Laksam, a speciality of the Northeastern Malaysian states of Kelantan, Terengganu and Kedah, is made with very thick flat white rice flour noodles in a rich, full-bodied white gravy of boiled fish and coconut milk. Though usually made of fish flesh, it is sometimes made with eels. Traditionally laksam is eaten with hands rather than with eating utensils due to the gravy's thick consistency.[4]
Katong laksa (Malay: Laksa Katong) is a variant of laksa lemak from the Katong area of Singapore. In Katong laksa, the noodles are normally cut up into smaller pieces so that the entire dish can be eaten with a spoon alone (that is, without chopsticks or a fork). Katong laksa is a strong contender for the heavily competed title of Singapore's national dish.[citation needed]
[edit]Asam laksa
Asam laksa is a sour fish-based soup. Asam (or asam jawa) is the Malay word for tamarind, which is commonly used to give the stock its sour flavor. It is also common to use "asam keping" also known as "asam gelugor", dried slices of tamarind fruit, for added sourness. Modern Malay spelling is asam, though the spelling assam is still frequently used.
The main ingredients for asam laksa include shredded fish, normally kembung fish or mackerel, and finely sliced vegetables including cucumber, onions, red chillis, pineapple, lettuce, common mint, "daun kesum" (Vietnamese mint or laksa mint) and pink bunga kantan (ginger buds). Asam laksa is normally served with either thick rice noodles or thin rice noodles (vermicelli). And topped off with "petis udang" or "hae ko" (蝦羔), a thick sweet prawn/shrimp paste.
Variants of asam laksa include:
Penang laksa (Malay: Laksa Pulau Pinang), also known as asam laksa from the Malay for tamarind, comes from the Malaysian island of Penang. It is made with mackerel (ikan kembung) soup and its main distinguishing feature is the asam or tamarind which gives the soup a sour taste. The fish is poached and then flaked. Other ingredients that give Penang laksa its distinctive flavour include lemongrass, galangal (lengkuas) and chilli. Typical garnishes include mint, pineapple slices, thinly sliced onion, hε-ko, a thick sweet prawn paste and use of torch ginger flower. This, and not 'curry mee' is the usual 'laksa' one gets in Penang.
Perlis laksa' (Malay: Laksa Perlis) is similar to Penang Laksa but differs in garnishing used such as catfish and eel fish. The famous Perlis laksa can be found in Kuala Perlis.
Kedah laksa (Malay: Laksa Kedah) is very similar to Penang laksa and only differs in the garnishing used. Sliced boiled eggs are usually added to the dish. Kedah laksa used rice to make a laksa noodle. The famous laksa in Kedah is Laksa Telok Kechai.
Ipoh laksa (Malay: Laksa Ipoh), from the Malaysian city of Ipoh, is similar to Penang laksa but has a more sour (rather than sweet) taste, and contains prawn paste.
Kuala Kangsar Laksa (Malay: Laksa Kuala Kangsar), made of wheat flour (usually hand made). The soup is rather lighter than the common laksa taste and so much different from Ipoh Laksa in shape, taste and smell. The local municipal council even built a complex called "Kompleks Cendol dan Laksa" near the river bank of the Perak River. It is the main attraction for tourists in Kuala Kangsar.
[edit]Other variants
Several variants mix together coconut milk and fish and can be identified as either curry or asam laksa.
Johor laksa (Malay: Laksa Johor), from Johor state in southern Malaysia, resembles Penang laksa only in the kind of fish used but differs in everything else. Johor laksa has coconut milk, use 'kerisik', dried prawns, lemon grass, galangal and spices akin to curry. The garnishing comprises slices of onion, beansprouts (taugeh), mint leaves, Vietnamese coriander or 'daun kesum', cucumber and pickled white radish. Sambal belacan (a kind of chili paste) is placed on the side. Finally, just before eating, freshly squeezed lime juice is sprinkled on the dish. Unique to Johor laksa is its Italian connection - spaghetti is used instead of the normal rice noodles or vermicelli. Johor laksa is traditionally eaten using the hand and the noodles are usually knitted (cetak) into a disk for each serving.
Sarawak laksa (Malay: Laksa Sarawak) comes from the town of Kuching in the Malaysian state Sarawak, on the island of Borneo. It is actually very different from the curry laksa as the soup contains no curry in its ingredient at all. It has a base of Sambal belacan, sour tamarind, garlic, galangal, lemon grass and coconut milk, topped with omelette strips, chicken strips, prawns, fresh coriander and optionally lime. Ingredients such as bean sprouts, (sliced) fried tofu or other seafood are not traditional but are sometimes added.
Kelantan laksa (Malay: Laksa Kelantan) is the easiest laksa recipe that is famous among peoples from the town of Kota Bharu of the Kelantan state, located at the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. The main ingredient of Kelantan Laksa's sauce is 'ikan kembong' or round scad mackerel that are boiled and minced. The minced fish are fried with onions, garlic, ginger, datil pepper, belacan, 'kantan' flower, Vietnamese coriander or 'daun kesum', lemon grass and dried tamarind slice. Coconut milk will then be added as the final ingredient and stirred until it all mixed up and become thick. Kelantan Laksa is served just like the Italian spaghetti by adding 'ulam' (raw vegetables) and blended chili on the side. Another variable of Kelantan Laksa is 'Laksam'. The sauce's recipe are exactly the same but the noodles are a bit bigger and flat.
Bogor Laksa (Indonesian: Laksa Bogor) probably is the most famous Laksa variant in Indonesia from Bogor town, West Java. The thick yellowish coconut milk based soup is a mixture of shallot, garlic, kemiri (candlenut), kunyit (turmeric), ketumbar (coriander), sereh (lemongrass), and salt. The hot soup runs, drained, and filled several times into the bowl contains bihun (rice vermicelli), ketupat (glutinous rice cake), smashed oncom (similar to tempe but different fungi), tauge (bean sprout), kemangi (basil leafes), cooked shredded chicken and prawn, boiled egg, until all the ingredients is soft and cooked. Usually Laksa Bogor is served with sambal cuka (grinded chilli in vinegar).
Betawi Laksa (Indonesian: Laksa Betawi) is a Laksa variant from Jakarta, Indonesia. The thick yellowish coconut milk based soup is a mixture of shallot, garlic, kunyit (turmeric), lengkuas (galangal), sereh (lemongrass), salam leaf and kaffir lime leaf, ginger, pepper, and contains rebon (dried small shrimp) to gave the unique taste. The dish contains ketupat (compressed rice cake wrapped in young coconut leaf), tauge (bean sprout), kemangi (Indonesian basil leaf), and boiled egg.

Lontong

2010-05-31T21:21:00.000+08:00

Lontong is an Southeast Asian dish originally from Indonesia also known as (Malay: Nasi Impit or Nasi Himpit), and literally means compressed rice.
Lontong is often referred to as the plain compressed rice roll itself, but it is served as an accompaniment to other dishes. Lontong is traditionally made by boiling the rice until it is partially cooked and packing it tightly into a rolled-up banana leaf or plaited coconut leaf. It is then boiled until the rice is compacted. When cooled, it is then cut into small bite-sized cakes.
Lontong may be served in a coconut milk and vegetable stew gravy similar to Sayur Lodeh, and topped with sambal chili paste, toasted coconut (kerisik) and hard boiled egg. Dried shrimp or dried anchovies (ikan bilis) and fresh shrimp can also be added. Suitable vegetables for the stew gravy with coconut milk are cabbage, long beans, cauliflower, carrots, Turnips, zucchini, peas, Butternut squash, Eggplant, Mushrooms, Snow peas, bamboo shoots, Potatoes, broccoli and Broccolini or asparation (a cross between Broccoli and Chinese Kale (Kai Lan or Gai Lan).
Cooked Cellophane or Glass noodles (Tang Hoon/冬粉 dōng fěn), and bean curd (tofu) can be added for a substantial & satisfying vegetarian dish.
In Indonesia and Malaysia, the dish is usually served cold or at room temperature with sauce-based dishes such as gado-gado and salads, although it can be eaten as an accompaniment to other dishes such as Satay and curries. It is also used in Soto as an alternative to vermicelli noodles.
Alternative ways of cooking lontong in modern days include placing uncooked rice into a muslin bag then letting the water seep in and cause the rice to form a solid mass (Ingram, 2003).

Char Kway Teow

2010-05-31T21:12:00.003+08:00

Char kway teow, literally "stir-fried ricecake strips", is a popular noodle dish in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. The dish was (and still is in some places in Malaysia) typically prepared at a hawker stall.
It is made from flat rice noodles (河粉 hé fěn in Mandarin Chinese) of approximately 1 cm or (in the north of Malaysia) about 0.5 cm in width, stir-fried over very high heat with light and dark soy sauce, chilli, a small quantity of belachan, tamarind juice, whole prawns, deshelled cockles, bean sprouts and chopped Chinese chives. The dish may commonly be stir-fried with egg, slices of Chinese sausage and fishcake, and less commonly with other ingredients. Char koay teow is traditionally stir-fried in pork fat, with crisp croutons of pork lard, and commonly served on a piece of banana leaf on a plate.
Char kway teow has a reputation of being unhealthy due to its high saturated fat content. However, when the dish was first invented, it was mainly served to labourers. The high fat content and low cost of the dish made it attractive to these people as it was a cheap source of energy and nutrients. When the dish was first served, it was often sold by fishermen, farmers and cockle-gatherers who doubled up as char kway teow pedlars in the evening to supplement their income.
In Indonesia, the dish is served in Chinese restaurants and traveling street hawker, and locally known as Kwetiau Goreng (Indonesian: fried flat rice noodles). The Indonesian char kway teow is less oily, using no lard, and normally incorporating beef or chicken to cater the majority Muslim population. However, some Chinese restaurants in Indonesia do use pork fat.

Curry fish head

2010-05-31T21:09:00.001+08:00

In Malaysia and Singapore , Fish head curry (Chinese and Indian roots) is a dish where the head

of an Ikan Merah (literally "Red fish"), is semi-stewed in a thick curry

with assorted vegetables such as okra and brinjals and usually served with either rice or bread.

In Orissa and Bengal (Bangladesh and West Bengal) where the staple is rice and fish, one very popular fish

head curry is made with moog orung beans but other vegetables can also be used. The gravy is very thick

and very spicy and the Rui fish (Rohita) is most popular for this.

Tamarind (asam) juice is sometimes added to the gravy to give it a sweet-sour taste (see asam fish); this

variety of fish head curry normally has a thinner, orange gravy. It is a dish of relative popularity amongst

Malaysians and Singaporeans and their tourists, although it is generally not categorised as

cheap hawker fare.

Another fighting for life in Geylang food poisoning incident

2009-04-07T17:30:00.001+08:00

Channel NewsAsia - Tuesday, April 7

SINGAPORE : As the family of the first victim of the Geylang mass food poisoning incident prepare for a funeral, another is keeping a close watch as Noraini Kasim fights for her life at Alexandra Hospital.

The 59—year old who had eaten Indian rojak from the same hawker stall, is now in a coma.

On Monday morning, 57—year—old Madam Aminah Samijo who had been in a coma, died without regaining consciousness after being rushed to the intensive care unit of Changi General Hospital.

The hospital diagnosed the canteen assistant who arrived unconscious, unresponsive and with breathing difficulties, as suffering from Gastroenteritis and septic shock.

The body of Madam Aminah has been handed over to her family at about 12.15pm Tuesday.

Seven family members were at the Singapore General Hospital to claim the body which had undergone an autopsy to determine the exact cause of her death.

The dead woman’s son, 23—year—old Salleh Omar told 938Live that Indian rojak was his mother’s favourite dish and she had patronised weekly the popular stall known as Rojak Geylang Serai.

Mr Salleh said it’s too early to say what action the family will take against the stall owner as the family is concentrating on the funeral.

Speaking at the family flat in Eunos Crescent, Madam Aminah’s daughter, Siti, said her mum who will be greatly missed was well—liked and a great cook.

Apart from Mdm Aminah, another member of the family, her younger brother Ahmad Samijo, also came down with food poisoning after eating from the stall last Wednesday.

He managed to recover from the bout through outpatient treatment.

In all, the Health Ministry has received 111 reports of food poisoning linked to the Rojak Geylang Serai stall at the Geylang Serai Temporary Market.

The victims include a 38—year—old housewife, Rosiah Samat who received a special treat of Indian rojak from her husband on Friday.

The mother—to—be who ended up with food poisoning also suffered a miscarriage.

So far 27 people have had to be hospitalised, while the rest received outpatient treatment at various emergency departments for symptoms that includes severe abdominal cramps, vomiting and diarrhoea.

Preliminary investigations show the cases to be associated with the food from the stall which has been ordered to be closed after being inspected by the Health Ministry and National Environment Agency (NEA).

The stallholder and his assistant have been told to undergo screening for food borne pathogens at the Communicable Disease Centre while other stalls in the area have undergone a hygiene inspection.

The precautionary measure by the NEA has found that the other food stalls are satisfactory and stallholders were reminded to keep up a high standard of food and personal hygiene.

Members of the public who have queries can call MOH at 1800—225—4122.

Best fried Hokkien or prawn mee

2009-03-19T18:04:00.002+08:00

The place is Tampines Street 82 and is located in the one and only kopi shop at st. 82. Hawker name is Ah Lye....wait when I visit there will take some pics and post here ok. The price is S$3 per plate and it comes with sambal ikan bilis. The chu char in the same kopi shop is excellent and price reasonable.Got sea food too so no need to go to Newton where the price is 3 times more.

Newton prawn hawker suspended

2009-03-19T06:13:00.005+08:00

THE verdict is in: Stall No 43 at Newton Hawker Centre overcharged a band of American tourists who ate there last Saturday night.
Now, Tanglin Best BBQ Seafood will pay the price: It must shut down for three months from April 1, and the worker who served the Americans cannot work there for one year.For more click here

Tourists (from left) Sal Rubio, Dewi Rigby and Michael Rigby claim they were fleeced by a Newton food centre stall on Saturday. They paid $491 for a seafood dinner for six. -- ST PHOTO: MUGILAN RAJASEGERAN.
For full story click here.

The part that irks me was when questioned about the bill the hawker
"Seconds later, the man returned with four others, who he said looked to be in their 40s and well-built". Was the hawker trying to intimidate the tourists? Rough tactics should NOT be condoned in Singapore. S'pore Police Force should take note of this mafia typed approach.
It's sad that Mr.Rigby the American who comes here regularly told his newbie friends "how safe, clean and honest this island city was" and got .....
The above reminds me of the durian scam in Geylang where people had been overcharged.
I wonder how many cases of overcharging went unreported.
Mr. Rigby don't be so naivee because there are cheats in every country and S'pore is no exception.
Here is another case of complaint of overcharging

Yummy Ramen from Japan

2009-02-25T21:35:00.002+08:00

Ramen is a noodle soup that was originally imported to Japan from China in the Meiji Period. In more recent decades, it has become a very popular dish in Japan, adapted to the Japanese taste. Ramen restaurants (ramen ya) number in the thousands, and instant ramen (invented in 1958) is popular both in and outside of Japan.

Ramen noodles are about as thin as spaghetti and are served in a soup that varies based on region, city and even specific vendor. Ramen's popularity stems in part from the fact that it is so inexpensive and widely available, making it an ideal option for budget travelers. In addition to freshly prepared ramen at ramen ya, supermarkets and convenience stores offer a large selection of instant ramen bowls.

Though ramen can be considered a one dish meal, gyoza are a common side dish offered at ramen ya. These Chinese style, pan fried dumplings are eaten with a soya and vinegar sauce. Shichimi (red chili mix) is usually available on the table to be added according to taste.

Ramen can be classified according to its soup base. The most popular ones are:

Shoyu Ramen: Brown, transparent, soya sauce based soup
Miso Ramen: Brown, non-transparent, miso based soup.
Shio Ramen: Transparent, salt based soup.
Tonkotsu Ramen: White, milky, pork based soup.
Ramen can also be named according to its ingredients. For example, chashumen is a ramen dish that features barbecued pork as toppings

Char Siew roast Pork and Shrimp dumpling soup

2008-02-13T20:34:00.003+08:00

The stall is next to the Yishun bus interchange ( blk 924) and the chef is a Hong Konger. The char siew,roast belly pork, shrimp dumpling soup and roast duck are all very delicious. The price is coffeeshop price i.e. the plate of char siew and roast belly pork is S$3 and so is the bowl of dumpling soup.

It was a disappointment for us yesterday when we visited the stall.

Killiney Road Kopitiam.

2007-10-09T15:29:00.000+08:00

I've heard about the bad service from this outlet but didn't believed it was that bad until I've experienced it myself.
The staff were very rude and sarcastic to their customers,I noticed. For my friends and I,we were also appalled at the staff rudeness toward us.
When we ordered our toasts,dessert,nasi lemak and coffee,which was expensive ( same coffee cost 30 cents less per cup at the corner coffee shop and was as good if not better),the waitress pulled on a long face as if to tell us we were ordering too many items. One of the waitresses, a middle age woman,was even sarcastic,telling us we must be starving.
Another waiter pretended to be "blind" when we beckoned him for more food orders. While we were hurrying,deciding what to order,the mid aged waitress,showed impatience and asked us to hurry up.
The food was not fantastic and they were highly priced. I would not recommend anyone patronising that shop.

Upper Thomson Longhouse Nasi Briyani and C&G curry at Revenue House

2007-09-05T09:03:00.000+08:00

Papad Pickle & Curries serves Nasi Briyani at $4.50 I was told was one of the best.It comes in 3 flavours,namely Chicken,Fish and Mutton. Go during off peak period or else you have to wait quite long to get your Briyani.
For real authentic southern Indian curry,I prefer the one at Revenue House,opposite Novena MRT station. It caters mainly to the office staff and at $4 your can have a yummy time. The food is better than Apollo Banana Leave which is incredibly expensive and sub standard. We spent almost $40 for a small fish head curry and a small dish of chicken (for 2 paxs).The fish head meat was not fresh and broke into bits when we used our spoons on it. When we feedback to the staff,they gave us a cynical smile as if to say "no thanks for the feedback".

Very good Bah Chor mee and fish ball.

2007-07-30T08:39:00.000+08:00

Visit Thomson Plaza at Thomson Road and there is a stall at the foodcourt selling very good and yummy Bah Chor Mee as well as fish balls.A bowl of Bar Chor Mee cost $3.50 but it's worth it! When you "tar pow" or take away, there is a 20 cents extra charge for the plastic container which I think is ridiculous (most stalls do not charge for this item).
The foodcourt is at the ground level and is a pleasant place to dine. The lunch time crowd is not very big though and you would have ample space to sit around with your friends. The place is clean.
The Chicken rice,a few stalls away is quite good but too expensive. An average size white chicken cost $27. The rice portion is not generous.

How to Make Miso Soup

2007-05-17T10:19:00.000+08:00

Miso soup is very popular in Japan and within the Pacific Region. It has also become a stable culture meal with the Japanese culture, in addition to the starter or "first" course in Korean restaurants.

Ingredients
1⁄4 oz dried seaweed (wakame)
4 1⁄4 oz fresh soft tofu or long life silken tofu
13 1⁄2 fl oz dashi (fish and seaweed stock) OR 400 ml (14.1 fl oz) of water and 1⁄2 tsp powdered dashi
1 1⁄2 Tbsp miso paste
2 medium spring onions

Steps

Heat the dashi. Pour the dashi into a large saucepan or pot, place it on the stove, and turn the heat onto "high".
Soak the wakame. Place the seaweed into a small bowl and add water into the bowl, until it covers it well. By doing this, you're expanding the seaweed.
Melt the miso by putting it into a cup, and pour a little bit of dashi on it to melt it down. Stir throughly until the miso is dissolved. Pour the mixture into the pan and stir.
Cut the tofu into into 1 cm squares. You may cut it however you like, bigger or smaller, than 1 cm (depending on your style or likings). Add the tofu pieces to the pan and turn the heat down.
Add the wakame to the pan. You do not want this to boil, as the flavors of the dish may impair or distort.
Serve the miso soup in bowls. Chop up the spring onions and garnish each bowl before serving.

Tips
Use forks or chopsticks for the large items and drink the liquid afterwards.

Warnings
Serving will be hot after being made.

Things You'll Need
1 measuring jug
1 saucepan
1 small bowl
1 cup
1 tablespoon
1 teaspoon
1 sharp knife
1 chopping board

This is Clarke Quay by night. Brightly lighted food stalls and restuarants of various kinds of food,incuding Western,Indian, Chinese,Malay and a host of others. Not to be missed if you are in Singapore.

2007-01-13T06:58:00.000+08:00

Bah Chor Mee
Bedok North Hawker Center
There are two stalls side by side, make sure you choose the one where noodles are served in porcelain bowls. While waiting for your noodles (on crowded days, wait could go up to 30 minutes), do try the honey glazed chicken wings from the stall in the same row. Or if you don't mind walking a bit further, try the grilled sting ray or sotong from corner stall two rows down.

Kah Toh Png (Scissors Rice)
Geyland Lorong 30+
Guy uses scissors to cut up meat served. Special dish is the pork cutlet with curry sauce. Prices are very economical too.

Fried Beef Hor Fun
Geylang Lorong 9
No need for introduction. Everybody knows where this place is. While you are at it, do try the har cheong kai (prawn paste chicken). Can have soya bean desert next door.

Soya Bean Curd and Milk, Yu Tiao and other Snacks
Geylang Rd, next to Beef Hor Fun
Open 24 hours, most crowded during weekends after 10pm. Good place to have supper if you don't want to have anything too heavy. The must-try is the soya bean curd - very smooth, and yu tiao.

Joo Chiat Pepper Crab
Junction of Joo Chiat Place and Still Rd
Great pepper crab and also chilli crab. Nice thing is all their crabs are big and juicy Sri Lankan crabs. Give the fried noodles a miss. Weekends are extremely crowded and finding parking space is a problem. If you are very particular about cleanliness, maybe it's best you call them 45 mins in advance to order take out. Phone number: 64405560 (don't guarantee that they will always pick up your call)

Hua Yu Yee
Upper East Coast Road
Seafood restaurant. Setting is cozy in a big colonial bungalow. Alfresco dining at the backyard. Nice when the weather is not too hot. Recommended dishes: drunken prawn, lobster sashimi.

Boon Tong Kee Chicken Rice
Balestier
My dad swears by their rice. He can easily eat 3 bowls of the rice alone. The rice is fragrant and has enough oil. Grains are not too hard or soft, and are whole. Only steam chicken is available. The chicken breast meat with soya sauce and garnish goes really great with the rice. Also, do try the fried tofu. They have several branches around the island, but if you are a true chicken rice fan, make your way down to Balestier. They have the best rice.

Ampang Niang Tow Foo
East Coast Road
Gorge on the tow kees. Food is freshly fried only when you order. The fried tow kees and tow poks tastes great when they are soaked in the soup. Beware, the shop only serves plum drink. If you don't take this drink, do BYO or you can go down a few shops, there's a 7-eleven.

Ampang Niang Tow Foo
Sembawang
OK, my boyfriend prefers this stall to the East Coast Rd one. The niang tow foo from both stalls are comparable, difference is this one serves theirs in sweet/chilli sauce.

Jalan Sultan Prawn Mee
Jalan Sultan (diagonally across Kallang MRT station)
Another one of those one-stall coffee shops. They are only open for lunch. Prawn is fresh and soup is rich (pork boiled). If you are game for it, try the king prawn mee. It costs $10 per bowl though! You can order ngoh hiang if you are those that must have more than one dish for your meals.

Claypot Chicken Rice
Geylang Lorong 10+ (facing Sims Avenue)
Genuine claypot rice. By that I mean that rice is cooked from scratch in claypot under charcoal fire (unlike the foodcourt variety that merely uses the claypot as a serving bowl). Lady will do her ceremonial stir of dark soya sauce into rice. Best eaten on a cool day.

Kah Soh Fish Soup
Amoy Street (also at Alexandra Rd)
Walls are pasted with celebrities patronizing their stall. Famous for the bee hoon fish soup and FREE FLOW of lard. Other famous dishes include har cheong kai (prawn paste chicken).

Hong Kong Street Chun Kee
East Coast Road (also at Alexandra Rd)
Personally, I prefer their fish soup to Kah Soh's. X.O. brandy makes the soup really tasty. They have got a har cheong kai too, though it tastes quite different than Kah Soh's. Also on the specialty menu is the fried fish kuey teow, and oat prawns.

Punggol Nasi Lemak
Junction of Upper Serangoon Rd and Tampines Rd
Best nasi lemak in Singapore. Queue is perpetually there as it is self-serve. All dishes are delicious but if I were only given 3 choices, I'd go for the chicken wings, curry vegetables, and nuts & ikan bilis.

More Eating outlets in Singapore

2007-01-06T18:02:00.000+08:00

Singapore is without doubt, a food paradise. It is a multi cultural society and you can get all sorts of food. Chinese,Malay,Indian,Indonesian and even deliciously prepared western food are easily available here. It is no secret that Singaporeans eat and drink with a passion. For the newcomer, deciding where and what to eat can be an intimidating, yet at the same time, exciting experience.

Some of Singapore delicacies include Satay (Originated by the Malays, but also sold by Chinese these days), Roti Prata (Indian "pizza"), Fried Kway Tiao (fried black noodles- normally served with cockles), Hokkien Noodles (seafood noodle delight), Hainanese Chicken Rice, and some of our local desserts like Ice Kachang (flavoured ice with ingredients like red bean and jelly), Chendol (coconut based dessert), Grass Jelly (a refreshing black jelly that cools down on a hot day) and Tao Suan (bean in sticky paste, topped by fried dough).

But if you choose to dine in a fine restaurant, it's definitely more with the comfort and ambience to go along with. We have a list of the recommended restaurants here in Singapore, if you can't decide where to eat, here's where we're to help.

Cafes

A growing favourite with the young working crowd. Designer coffee places like Starbucks, Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf and Coffee Club have become the in places to hang out with friends. Most cafes serve Western food like sandwiches, pizzas and pasta.

Coffee Shops

These can be found in most housing estates outside the city and are usually located on the ground floor of apartment blocks or in 2-storey. Even till today, Singaporeans gather at coffee shops not just to eat and drink, but also to chat or even play a game of checkers. Although the older coffeehouses are slowly being phased out, they are still the place to go if you want to get cheap and good food served with a slice of true Singapore life, not forgetting the thick, black local coffee that comes in a porcelain cup.

Fast-food

A favourite with children and teenagers, fast food arrived in Singapore in the late 70s and is today a familiar sight everywhere. There’s McDonald’s, Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC), Pizza Hut, Burger King, MOS Burger and much much more.

Hawker Centers and Food Courts

Together with hawker centers, food courts are the people’s main eating choice when dining out. You can find hawker food widely available here, a meal averagely costs about $3 or more. Food courts are usually found in shopping malls, and are air-conditioned and thus more expensive. For example, a plate of noodles that cost $3 in a hawker center may cost $4 in a food court. The choice of food is also more cosmopolitan, with some food courts even offering Italian, Korean, Japanese and Greek cuisine all in the same place. Be warned: at the more popular food courts, you could find people waiting behind you for your seat; so if you like to take your time, go during off-peak hours. Unlike hawker centers, you have to carry your own food to your table.

Food courts generally can be found in most shopping centres. There are usually at least one hawker centers in every HDB housing estates. Like Ang Mo Kio, Ghim Moh, Marine Parade, Old Airport Road, Whampoa. Enjoy your Singapore food discovery! For hawker centers, refer to some of the popular ones below:

Adam Road Food Center

This hawker center was recently upgraded. With a new facade and more parking space, it is very popular with lunch time crowds. More than 50% of the stalls serve Malay or Indian food.

Hawker stalls and food

2007-01-06T13:40:00.000+08:00

The hawker stalls in Singapore are a "must" visit for tourists as well as locals.The food are relatively cheap and can taste better than some resturaunts. There are also many types of food,ranging from Chinese to Malay and Indian dishes. They are mostly local fares like laksa,prata,chicken rice,mee pok,wanton mee and hundreds more.
There are also hundreds of air-conditioned foodcourts spread over the island,selling the same food.However, the prices here could be a little more than the ones at the opened and unair-conditioned hawker stalls.
A plate of chicken with rice or a bowl of noodles ranges from $2 to $4,which is relatively cheap.
