Hua Kee Hougang Famous Wanton Mee @ Old Airport Road

Old Airport Road Food Centre which has many famous local food stalls are so accessible now. I just need to take the MRT to Dakota station, go to exit A and the food centre is only 5 minute walk away.

One of my favourite stalls at Old Airport Road Food Centre is Hua Kee Hougang Famous Wanton Mee. The mee was cooked just right, neither too soggy or too dry. The char siew was not too sweet or fatty. The wanton was also packed with fillings of minced meat and prawn. The wow factor probably lied with the chilli sauce. The sambal type chilli sauce complemented and gave flavour to the noodle.

Wanton Mee 4.5/5

Lau Pa Sat Festival Market @ Raffles Quay

A friend was in town from the United States so we brought her to Lau Pa Sat to experience Singapore own version of street hawker food. Lau Pa Sat which means "old market" in hokkien, was Singapore's first wet market about 150 years ago. Now it is a gourmet paradise right in the heart of the commercial district area where you can find Singapore's street hawker food.
