There's loads of fishes in it...... which I think was great! However, the lor mee was a little too sticky to my liking. The paste actually doesn't have much taste either.

And there's a forever long queue.......... which I don't know why, maybe because there's only 1 guy cooking? But I'm pretty amazed that there's always a queue each time I'm there.

I personally don't think it's so good to the extent that I've to queue for at least 30 minutes for a bowl of lor mee.

I doubt I'll queue again!

too sticky lor mee OK Apr 30, 2014

First, you got to be patient if you want to eat this lor mee. Its queue is forever so long and the minimum waiting time is around 40 minutes. I've no idea what's so special about this lor mee with its horribly long queue. I think the cook's kinda slow and there's only one guy cooking so probably that's why it takes a long time?

Food wise, I thought it was too sticky. The paste was kind of too sticky to eat. I prefer less sticky ones.

It's also quite salty and flavourful.

I've to admit the fried fish was quite tasty and unique though.

But I don't think I'll eat it again, the queue's too long!!!!!!!!

Try it only if you're free to queue.

Huge prawns Smile Apr 30, 2014

Categories : Singaporean Chinese | Hawker Centre | Noodles

Prawn noodles is a very classic bowl of noodles that hardly goes wrong. Sometimes when I don't know what to order, I'll always settle for a bowl of prawn noodles. The texture of the noodles and kuay tiao is very slippery. The soup's extremely flavourful with a strong prawn taste. It's very sweet and thick too!

The prawns are also quite big and juicy.

I ordered the pork ribs prawn noodles and sadly, the pork ribs were a little on the hard side.

There is usually a queue for this stall so be prepared to wait around 10 to 15 minutes.

One bowl costs $5, decently good.

BBQ and more OK Apr 30, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Hawker Centre | BBQ

Some hawker food delights!
1. The very long queue wet wet hokkien mee – It’s fried wet enough and the noodles were slim, the way I like it. It would be perfect if the prawns were bigger and fresher. Picky me! I’m not a chilli lover but the chilli looked good to me even though I didn't taste it. Overally a pretty hot plate of hokkien mee and kind of flavourful. I like that it's cooked till very wet. Delicious! The mee is soft and the beehoon is very slim.
2. The long queue BBQ wings that everyone’s buying BECAUSE CHICKEN WINGS ARE SO TASTY AND HANDY TO EAT! Squeeze some lime to totally get the best feel of the chicken wing.
3. The forever super long queue rojak ex-president SR Nathan ate before – It’s a overwhelming plate of rojak with a whole lot of sauce. The sauce had a special tinge of freshness that’s not commonly tasted. The chilli companion went well with the sauce too. Nothing special about the ingredients used – the usual ones just like any other rojaks.
4. The short queue xiao long bao dim sum that’s oh so juicy.

Many more stalls I've yet to try!

Bak Chor Mee OK Apr 23, 2014

http://phuachiuyen.wordpress.com/2013/04/14/bak-chor-mee-bendemeer-market-food-centre/

Hi there! Today I went to Bendemeer Market & Food Centre. I chanced upon a bak chor mee stall and the queue’s like WOW always so long. So typical me just queued. It was a pretty fast queue. I got a little amused when it reached my turn because the boss told me the fishball+bak chor mee (no. 1) was sold out. OMG I thought no food for me. Then he kindly introduced bak chor mee (no. 3) to my brother & I. We went “Oh okay (since it’s our first visit and we were blur sotongs…)…” and then he said ours were the last two bowls left. Lucky us! I even hear passerbys commenting “This stall forever long queue.”.
OMG and then he just switched off all the lights of the stall.
Time Check: It’s only like 12noon++ and they are closing! Okay, that’s kind of FAST.
They do kindly tell the rest queuing that everything’s sold out. Okay, I was totally speechless. GOT SO POPULAR OR LIMITED MEH?!
The only best part I like about this bak chor mee was the light brown extremely crispy dumpling alike thingy. Everything else was pretty normal like any other bak chor mee. It’s very cheap by the way – only $2.50 for a decently big bowl mee with lots of bak chor, a few chewable pig livers and some lean meat. Oh yes, there’s one to two miserably small mushrooms too.
The accompanying seaweed soup’s kinda salty to me though. The mee was not very hot, so I was a little disappointed.
Overall, I felt it’s just so-so and not a must-try.
Customer service wise – the bosses were very friendly and would repeat our orders to us before they cook. Customer service ftw! Maybe that explains the popularity and scarcity of their food……..
TRY IT IF YOU’RE IN THE VICINITY!
