Anyone else notice Beef Roti stalls opening everywhere suddenly? Tried it out today and quite liked it! I bought a beef and a chicken one but the beef alone was enough to fill me up.
This was at T3 foodcourt
The same amount of jiggle as my flabby arms 🤣
I’ve only tried chilli pan mee in Bencoolen, and it’s really nice. Any recommendations for good chilli pan mee places?
$7.50 with a free piece of luncheon because of opening special at Woodleigh. I think it's quite nice, I got the chicken thigh and it's juicy and flavourful. Rice is like nasi lemak. Don't see why he is getting hate comments on his reels though.
When I eat prawn noodles I really don't want to waste calories on those weak, diluted prawn soups that taste more like tea. That's why I really enjoy the soup at 52 Prawn Noodles. The soup is slightly smoky and sweet, and I suspect the hawker spends hours fresh prawn heads/shells and pork bones until the flavor is completely concentrated.
I got the dry version here, and I thought the sauce was a bit unique. Its a bit darker than usual prawn noodles which are usually more lard and sambal-focused, and this leans slightly to a more soy-based sweetness. The noodles is topped with fresh halved prawns, generous pieces of pork belly, and pork ribs so tender the meat couldn’t even stay on the bone when I tried to take photos.
And the owner always gives a generous scoop of crispy golden fried lard and shallots!
Always great to see young hawkers take on traditional dishes!
The highlight for me is really the soup - savory, smoky, cloudy broth simmered for hours until it’s super thick. I always go for the dry version, and the meepok is nice and al dente, tossed in a balanced, savory-spicy sauce mix that somehow taste like it has a bit of spicy bean sauce or dou ban jiang. The soup comes with fish maw, tender sliced pork, handmade dumplings, fishballs and meatballs, and the most perfectly cooked pork liver I’ve ever had.
A great reminder that when traditional hawker food like bcm gets glammed up, our hawker culture can really reach a whole new level.
