Xue Hua Fei Cold & Hot Drinks @ Bedok Interchange Food Centre - The Huge Watermelon Dessert

Dessert stalls in hawker centres selling Ice Kachang, Chendol etc, are a common sight in Singapore. However at Bedok Interchange Food Centre, Xue Hua Fei Cold & Hot Drinks stall has this signature dessert that comes in a watermelon bowl topped with different fruits. The huge servicing has been drawing crowd to the stall to check out this massive watermelon dessert in a bowl.

Da Xi Gua (大西瓜) 

The watermelon dessert is literally called Da Xi Guan (大西瓜), meaning big watermelon. The portion is good for sharing and it costs $6. Be prepared to wait as the stall uncle will prepare everything from scratch. He will cut the watermelon into half, dig out the watermelon's flesh and put ice into the empty watermelon bowl. The watermelon flesh is then transfer back into the bowl together with all ingredients such as nata de coco, pineapple, longan and peach.

As the stall uncle prepared everything from scratch, be prepared to wait. The huge watermelon is probably good for 4-5 pax. I would recommend not to rush into finishing it. Take your time to enjoy the dessert and allow the ice to melt. You will get a bowl of watermelon juice at the end.

Bee Kee Wanton Noodles @ Amoy Food Centre - Truffle Wanton Noodles

When I heard that Bee Kee Wanton Noodles has opened a new stall at Amoy Food Centre, I took the opportunity to go down for breakfast on one of my off days, just to understand what is the rave about their truffle wanton noodle. Apparently Bee Kee Wanton Noodles is opened by Ms Jo Ann Ng, the owner of Vanilla Bar & Cafe, with the flaghship outlet at Lorong Lew Lian.

Original Wanton Noodle Dry 3/5

I started with the Original Wanton Noodle Dry ($3/$4) before moving on to the truffle wanton noodle to have a comparison. The chilli is piquant and the noodle has a good bite to it. Unfortunately I find the bowl of noodle too dry. It needed something saucy to complement the chilli sauce. While the slices of char siew was thick, it was too lean and dry for me.

Truffle Wanton Noodle 3.5/5

The process of cooking the truffle wanton noodle is no different from other wanton noodle stalls except that truffle oil is sprayed into the bowl before serving. I find the Truffle Wanton Noodle ($6/$8) fares much better than the original wanton noodle partly because of the truffle aroma. The truffle oil may have lubricated the texture of the noodles, so it was not as dry as the original version. I think it has potential to be an excellent bowl of wanton noodle but it needs to work on its char siew andd wanton.
