Famous JB101 Firewokz @ WCEGA TOWER - Decent Zhi Char Stall At Bukit Batok Crescent

IMG_6459ed

Famous JB101 Firewokz is a zhi char stall that is located at Bukit Batok Crescent, an industrial area in the West. I visited the place quite a few months back. I understand the place has undergone a renovation and just recently reopened in end March 2017.

White Bee Hoon 3/5

During my visit, the place was actually quite dead, serving only a few workers in the area. We have the White Bee Hoon ($7 medium) which was rather plain looking but it was quite flavourful. The bee hoon was not overcooked and comes with a nice bite. It also came with pawns, squid, greens and egg.

Salted Egg Spare Ribs 4/5

The other dish we ordered is the Salted Egg Spare Ribs ($12 small). The deep fried pork was rather tender and what elevated it was the coat of salted egg sauce that has a nice hint of spiciness.

French Beans 4/5

Completing our dinner, we had the French Beans ($8 small) whih we enjoyed very much. The french beans was crunchy and the generous topping of the dried shrimps gave the green a lifted enjoyment.

Overall, the food at Famous JB101 Firewokz is reasonable good. The pricing is also quite reasonable. Furthermore there is no GST.

Heng Gi Goose And Duck Rice @ Tekka Food Centre - Long Queue For Their Teochew Braised Duck Rice

IMG_9892ed

A visit to Tekka Food Centre you will probably spot the long queue at Heng Gi Goose And Duck Rice. From what I gathered from my friend, the stall is currently run by the disciple of the original stall owner who has over 60 years of braising duck. The disciple has mastered the braising skill from his master. It can be seen from the long queue at the stall. By the way, the stall does not sell goose anymore.

Duck Rice 4.2/5

I had the Duck Rice for one person and it costs $3.50. It comes with a bowl of white rice drizzled with the braising sauce, a plate of duck meat and a bowl of soup.

I think what stood out about the duck rice here is the braising sauce. It is not overly salty but instead has a rustic characteristic that is well balanced and flavourful. It is best appreciated with a bowl of white rice. In fact, I think I can finish a bowl of rice with just the sauce.

The duck meat itself is also well braised, light but yet flavourful. More important the meat was not too fat and yet tender.

Although the stall official closing time is 230pm, most of the time they are sold out before that. To avoid disappointment, do go early if you want to eat their duck rice.
