Lao Fu Zi Fried Kway Teow @ Old Airport Road Food Centre

I love fried kway teow! That's the food I missed most whenever I traveled overseas. Lao Fu Zi Fried Kway Teow is a famous stall and its fried kway teow is said to be one of the best in Singapore. The stall is hard to miss because there is always a long queue during meal times.

After trying the fried kway teow ($3), I have to say that it does live up to its name! The noodle is well fried with the sweet sauce. It has a smooth texture and tastes delicious. As a cockle lover, the big and fresh cockles upped the tastiness of the dish. I felt satisfied after eating it and will definitely come back for more!

Fried Fish Soup @ Bukit Merah Central Food Centre

The name of this stall is Fried Fish Soup but it also sells sliced fish soup. It seems to be quite popular with the lunch crowd and you can see a queue forming during lunch hours. Personally I prefer fried fish to sliced fish, so I ordered the fried fish soup ($3.50) with rice.

The soup is really delicious and I love the sweet, milky taste of it. The bean curd is smooth and there is a generous serving of lettuce and tomato, which I like. However, I was disappointed with the fried fish, which are a bit salty and very soggy. 

Although I was not impressed by the fried fish, I might return for the yummy soup. Perhaps I'll try the sliced fish version next time.

Best Rojak in Singapore: Toa Payoh Rojak @ Old Airport Road Food Centre

 

Old Airport Road Food Centre is IMHO the best food centre in Singapore. One popular stall there is Toa Payoh Rojak. It has been voted by Singaporeans as the best hawker stall on numerous occasions. Don't be deceived by the humble appearance of its rojak ($3), it is said to be the best in Singapore. 

The prawn paste is thick and tastes just nice, not too bland nor too heavy. But what I really like about this rojak is the crispiness of the fried dough fritters and the tau poks (bean curd puffs). A must-try for rojak lovers!

Hua Kee Hougang Famous Wanton Mee @ Old Airport Road Food Centre

Old Airport Road Food Centre is IMHO the best food centre in Singapore. The wanton mee ($3) from Hua Kee Hougang Famous Wanton Mee is one of the best wanton mee I have ever eaten. The wanton (dumpling) and char siu (BBQ pork) are good, but what I like most is the noodle, which is springy and yummy with the sauce.

Tamoya Udon & Tempura

Tamoya is an udon restaurant franchise from Japan. It hails from the "Home of Udon", Sanuki (now known as Kagawa) and the newly opened shop at Liang Court is its first overseas outlet. On weekday evenings and weekends, you can see many Japanese eating there.

From left clockwise: 4 steps to buying food, Tamoya shop, toppings. 

The restaurant adopts a self-service ordering system.
Step 1: Order the type and size of udon at the udon counter.

Step 2: Choose the side dishes (tempura, onigiri rice ball, etc) at the next counter. 

Step 3: Pay at the cashier. 

Step 4: Add toppings, spices and sauces at the condiments table.

From top left clockwise: Pork Udon, Kama-age Udon, Kama-tama Udon (after adding broth and toppings), Kama-tama Udon (before adding broth).  

Tamoya's udon has a smooth and chewy texture. My personal favorite is the Pork Kake Udon ($8.80). The thinly sliced pork is delicious and the slightly salty broth goes well with the udon. 

The Kama-age Udon ($5.30) and Kama-tama Udon ($5.80) are quite unique. The former is eaten like soba. It is served in hot water and comes with a bowl of broth, which you dip the udon in before eating. The latter is served in raw egg and you pour the hot broth that comes with it into the udon, and let the egg cook slowly. 

    

Tempura: pumpkin, mushroom, sweet potato, croquette, prawn, chikuwa.  

There is a variety of tempura ($1 to $2.50) to choose from, and they are best eaten hot. Some are out on the counter for too long and don't taste as good. Personally, I like the chikuwa (Japanese fish cake) tempura and the sweet potato tempura. Somehow, I don't like the mushroom tempura.

Overall, the food is satisfactory, though not fantastic. Given the affordable prices, it is still value for money and worth a try!
