Tiong Bahru Tian Bo Shui Kueh @ Albert Centre Market & Food Centre

Shui Kueh or Chwee Kueh is a local snack that is commonly found at food centre. It is usually eaten as breakfast. Chwee Kueh is basically steamed rice cake topped with diced preserved radish (chye poh).

Actually I am not sure whether this stall has any relationship with the famous Tiong Bahru Jiao Bo Shui Kueh but the chwee kueh is quite nice. The rice cake was neither watery or hard, a heavenly combination eaten with the chye poh.

Tai Lok Claypot Chicken Rice @ Commonwealth Avenue Food Centre

This place is officially known as Commonwealth Avenue Food Centre but it is commonly known as Queenstown or Margaret Drive Food Centre. I remembered reading somewhere that this place was going to be demolished for some development projects. Glad that it is not demolished yet and some of the stalls are still operating. I went to the second floor and settled for the claypot chicken rice and a bowl of watercress soup. The claypot rice was cooked over charcoal fire so there will be some waiting time.
