a few friends decided to have 4pax lunch at whampoa hawker centre on 25.2.2105.
whampoa hawker centre of course has many famous stalls. 1 of my favourite is the chinese mutton soup stall. i prefer yu ji (宇记) chinese herbal mutton soup (羊肉汤) but both stalls are about same, so the other stall #01-75 is good for me too.^^
anyhow on this day, it was chinese new year day 6 (初六)， and both stalls were closed.
most other stalls were also closed – the hoover fish porridge, the braised duck & the hoover rojak were all closed.
1 of the stalls i like, 幸福潮州小食 a teochew food stall, was open. i ordered the fish maw soup, braised pig trotters & also the “ter kar tan” 猪脚冻 or pig trotter jelly. the stall also sells sharks meat & shark meat jelly 鲨鱼冻. i did not order them.
the S$4 fish maw soup was good as always, quite a lot of ingredients, and the taste of the soup was good.
the “ter kar tan” 猪脚冻 or pig trotter jelly was i guess good as another at the restaurants & it was just S$5.50 for a good portion.
the 鲁猪脚 braised pig trotters were exactly the flavour, texture & colour i liked. to me it was so much better than han jia bakuteh & pork leg, east coast lagoon food village.
the colours looked attractive & it was properly cut & neat, not dark & overcooked & uncut block like han jia’s. the texture & bite was just right, gelatinous & with bite, not falling apart, and the taste was light & flavourful.
one friend though preferred han jia’s, so really it was very much a matter of personal preference.^^
the 3 dishes cost S$15. i liked all of them.^^
