Fish Soup in Traditional Chaozhou-Style Claypots in Ang Mo Kio

Nothing quite hits the spot like a bubbling pot of Teochew fish soup on a rainy day. It just so happened to be raining on the day that I made a visit to a coffee shop in Ang Mo Kio Ave 1 which has recently seen long queues, thanks to the opening of Hong Kong Style Fried Rice and my target of the day, Chao Zhou 潮粥 Teochew Fish Soup.

The stall is run by a young hawker, Edwin Kang, who?s in his twenties. Edwin was trained by his friend Dee Chan, who was the former head chef of contemporary Cantonese restaurant Mott 32 in Marina Bay Sands.

All recipes are crafted by Edwin himself, using a wholesome broth base of old Nanyang chicken, Spanish pork ribs, and fish head and bones that have been simmered for at least 16 hours.

Be prepared to arrive earlier than the time you intend to chow down though, as it seems like the queues aren?t going anywhere anytime soon.

Very shiok!!!

Food is very nice and satisfying.

The food price is reasonable so order away!

Drop in today! Highly recommended!

The power of social media is not one to be trifled with. You?ve probably heard about the absurd queues by now, but is Chef Kin HK Wanton Noodle really worth the wait?

Tucked at the corner of a coffee shop in Yishun, former Crystal Jade executive chef Chan Wing Kin has taken his 18 years of culinary experience to venture into his own hawker business.

It?s easily become the talk of the town, with queues growing consistently days after word got out. Like many Singaporeans, I had to sus the hype out myself. Reluctantly, I made the decision to rock up before they open at 7.30am, so I could beat the queue.

I arrived five minutes before opening on a Monday morning and was pleasantly surprised to find about 15 groups waiting patiently in line. Well, if there?s one thing our country will definitely win in, it?s safe to say it?s queuing.

By the time I left, the queue had snaked so far back, the wait went up to an hour.

I must say, at its price point, Chef Kin HK Wanton Noodle serves up decent bowls of noodles, but definitely nothing ground-breaking for you to join a queue past half an hour. Of course, they are still in the early days since opening, and I?m sure over time, these bowls will only get better.

Very shiok!!!

Slurp Up Robust Bowls of Curry Noodles in Ang Mo Kio!

There seems to be many new stalls popping up in the ?hood of Ang Mo Kio. One particular coffee shop is now home to a trio of fresh faces that are a month old or lesser, the oldest being Jian Zao Ipoh Curry Noodles.

After opening in September 2021, the stall has gained a steady following of fans who love a piping hot bowl of delicious curry noodles and I?m glad to say that I?m officially one as well.

The curry wasn?t too thick and the mix of coconut milk and spices made it very addictive. Afraid of spice? The curry leaves only a slight tingle on the tastebuds so you can enjoy this bowl without fear.

Between the two, I have to say I?m more in favour of the Signature Ipoh Curry Noodle with its ensemble of ingredients but I did enjoy the thickness of the dry version?s roux. Jian Zao Ipoh Curry Noodle definitely has one of the best curry chicken noodles in Singapore!

I was excited by Wai Kuan's Facebook post declaring that Ah Ho is her favourite mee pok tah. Her photo of the noodles looked so irresistibly delicious 😀 So I couldn't wait to check it out when I was in Singapore. Ah Ho Teochew noodle stall is at Kim San Leng kopitiam, Verdun Road - a lively part of Singapore I like visiting. Thank you Wai Kuan for the share 😀

Ah Ho's mee pok tah has everything, plus some.

The usual suspects - lean pork slices, fish cake slices, braised mushroom, fish ball, minced pork in the soup, a huge mound of noodles, and then there were fish dumplings (her giao) and fried tik poh (dried sole fish 扁鱼乾). A slice of pork liver would have made it perfect for me (there was none) ;-D

There was no chance for me to get to know the stall holders better as they were so busy. I lingered a while but the queue only grew longer as lunch time approached. I shall come back another time for that.

Fishball noodles are very common in Singapore. But many of the stalls do not make their own fishballs. Instead, they are machine made. However, Ru Ji Kitchen at Holland Drive Food Centre makees their own fishballs.

The owner of Ru Ji Kitche, Mr Ng, was helping his brother to sell fishball noodles in Ghim Moh Food Centre. 7 years ago, he decided to venture out and started selling fishball noodles with his wife at Holland Drive Food Centre.

Using yellow tail fish (蕃薯鱼), he beats them into fish paste for an hour before making it into fishballs and fish cakes. That is why his fishballs are so fresh and bouncy!

Of course, My Ng is also very skilled in cooked his noodles. Especially for his mee pok, it was very springy and he uses a wooden chopsticks to mix the noodles with the chilli sauce.

Brickworks Food Centre ? Power Chendol Very Powerful!

I first got to know the guys from Jin Jin Hot/Cold Desserts during Ultimate Hawker Fest 2014 when they had a stall selling their signature gangster ice and power chendol. It?s consistently long queue at their stall during the festival and they were sold out even before the event ended.

To many old residents living near ABC Food Centre and Market, Jin Jin Hot/Cold Desserts has a very nostalgic value.

The original owner gave up the shop but Calvin and Ewan kept the brand and revived the business. Both of them were totally not F&B trained to begin with. One of them was in insurance, while the other used to be a DJ.

They wanted to set up a beer garden initially but didn?t work out.

By chance, they were introduced to Jin Jin and the rest was history. You May Also Like Mr Wong Seremban Beef Noodle - Former Marine Parade Favourite Is Now In Tampines!
