Yummy Sarawak Kolo Mee @ Tampines Round Market

I used to stay in Tampines for more than a decade of my life but I didn't like to go market when I was young.  My mum would always "tabao" food from the Tampines Round Market for me in the past.  I remember she would normally buy chicken noodles or pork ribs noodles for me.  After I shifted out of Tampines, only then I realized that there are many "gems" in this market.  One of which is this "Yummy Sarawak Kolo Mee".  It is easy to spot this stall with bright yellow signboard and a long waiting queue.  Last Saturday, I followed my hubby to service his car at Tampines Industrial area.  We walked over to the round market for breakfast whilst the car was at the car servicing workshop.  Since we had time to spare, I decided to join the long queue for the very first time for the famous Sarawak Kolo Mee.     

 This stall was featured in many Channel U, Channel 8 food variety shows and also certified by Makansutra for its quality Wanton Mee.

 I saw a huge pot of braised chicken feet (very plump!) at the stall front and was almost tempted to order chicken feet noodles.  However, I decided to order two bowls of their Signature Kolo Mee instead and will save the chicken feet noodles for the next time.

 Tatah!!!  Signature Kolo Mee ($4) with pork ribs, char siew, wantons (two boiled and one fried) and a plump dumpling with crunchy chestnuts bits inside.  The kolo mee Chilli is optional but be warned, it is very spicy.  The curly Kolo Mee was served dry with some special sauce which somehow reminded me of instant noodles (like those Indo Mee Dry).  Overall, it was a satifying bowl of Kolo Mee.  :)

Hill Street Char Kway Teow @ Bedok South Food Centre

Recently, I have grown an interest to search for "old taste" at the various hawker centres in Singapore.  I will definitely love to join any hawker food trails if any.  We made an impromptu decision last weekend to drive over to Bedok South Food Centre for lunch.  I remembered that we could find this famous Hill Street Char Kway Teow stall at this food centre and went to check out the stall immediately.  To my relief, there was a queue but not too long to dissuade me from queuing (We were there at around 11am, before the peak hour).  The last time when I was here, the queue was much longer and I was too hungry to queue for it.

Thus, this was my first plate of Char Kway Teow from this famous stall.  It might have failed badly in terms of presentation, but this $3 plate of yummy Char Kway Teow came with eggs, medium-sized cockles, sausages, bean sprouts and of course, the crispy, crunchy lards that were fried together with the flat noodles.   Yes, you can't escape from LARD here, it enhances the flavour of the Char Kway Teow!

Ok, before I started eating, I rearranged them a bit more to the centre.  Haha.....

 You won't miss this stall with the bright yellow signboard and with an almost perpetual queue most of the time.

My First Visit to Tiong Bahru Market & Food Centre

We had the famous Lor Mee with Shark Nuggets and also, fried fishballs on our first visit to Tiong Bahru Food Centre.

 We each had a bowl of Lor Mee with Shark Nuggets ($3). 

 After our meal, we took a slow walk back to the carpack and I took some shots of the housing along the way.
