Amoy Street Food Centre - Right in the middle of CBD area

Our food hunt continues to Amoy Street Food Centre which is just a mere 2 minutes walk from Tanjong Pagar MRT station. This huge hawker centre caters to the working professionals in the area, thus at night, not many stalls are opened. However, with the limited range at night, it provides a satisfied range of food. There are many Indian Muslim stalls there, attracting a crowd of people. We decided to try the beef noodles, which had quite a few reviews. The generous serving of noodles and beef made the bowl of noodles filling and appetizing. The second bowl of noodles was in the form of mee tai mak! This bowl of fishball noodles was tasty and had 3 sizes options. The small bowl was more than sufficient for a meal. You can opt for the usual kind of noodles if you do not like the thick short noodles that should be eaten with a spoon!



Upon departing the place, we realised that there is a 2nd floor also! Will definitely head back another time to head to the 2nd floor. For now, would recommend that one should head down during lunch instead. There would be even more food options to choose from!

Adam Road Food Center - Wide range of food choices

We embark to Adam Road Food Center today, set in the heart of Farrer Road and Bukit Timah Road. There was a quite a big crowd of people on this weekdy night. The nearest MRT station would be the new Botanic Gardens station while there are many buses that goes to this place. 

The original intention of trying the famous Nasi Lemak for dinner came to naught as the both stalls that sold Nasi Lemak were closed. Do they close on Wednesdays? Anyway despite that, there seemed to be plenty of other choices there, especially a wide range of Indian food available. This time round, we tried out the bee hoon goreng. There were many stores to choose from, and thus going to the store that has the most customers? One thing about buying mee/bee hoon going is that the store person would always presume that the customer would want an egg on top of their noodles and later charging the extra 50 cents for the egg. The bee hoon goreng wasn't too bad, tasty and appetizing but as usual adding lots of bean sprouts!

The second dish was the mutton soup, bought from the store which only specializes in mutton soup, the different parts of the soup available. The soup was rich in taste and spicy, one of a kind if you enjoy drinking soup. After posting about prawn mee for the last few entries, we succumbed to the big prawn mee again! There was a short queue for this store and the soup ws thick and rich in the stock. Lovely! Quite a few prawns were also given, making it worthy for the price that you pay.

Lastly was the ice kachang! What was the original intention of ordering a drink ended up with a dessert. This ice kachang store had a long queue, with the store uncle ensuring that each ice kachang was made to perfection, with adequate amount of ingredients. You would not miss this store since there is only one with a long long queue!


Try out the food at this food center and you will be spoilt for the wide range of choices of food available!

Seah Imm Food Center - Battle of the Meeeee

Our next destination was to Seah Imm Food Center, which is opposite Vivocity and just above Harbourfront MRT station. Our journey continues from the disappointment of not not knowing what has happened to Zion Riverside Food Center..also, today we had our guest SJ with us! There was some excitement going to this food center as we heard some good reviews about the food.

Upon reaching, many stores were closed. However, there were about 3 to 4 hokkien mee stores that were available and you could say that we were spoilt for choice! We decided to order from 2 different stores to compare, with the addition of rojak and oyster omelette..results??


The both plates of hokkiem mee were truly not up to standard of any hokkien mee that we have tried..one tasted so much of chicken stock, it's as if the auntie frying it wanted to close shop early and poured all the remaining stock into the noodles, resulting in us eating chicken stock mee..can't complain much with it being only $2..the other plate was slightly better, though the noodles was slightly hard, suggesting the uncle did not cook long enough..prawns given were not fresh also..i guess it's a never going back to this place to eat hokkien mee ever again..

The rojak was another one that was badly done..fruits were taken out from the fridge and the you tiao was taken from somewhere? after mixing all the ingredients, the uncle took out 3 miserable toothpick and gave the plate to us..i think the ideal food for the day was the oyster omelette with sufficient egg to go around though the chili looks really bloody don't you think?
