Bad boys Pie for quick bite Smile Dec 31, 2010   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Brunch | Kids-Friendly

What!?

A pie for only $1. What a good deal to take away for tea-break snacks during office hours.

Comes with a wide variety of selection and mind you, the pies are worth it's value.
Like the chicken mushroom especially, tangy chicken filled in crispy crust.
Baked fresh everyday.

To add on, I've applaud on their 'singlish' branding strategy labeling all their pies with hokkienish term such as Toa Pie Kia " "Pie Tan" - "Pie Seh" "Chin Cai" "Sio Sio" , "Ho Lim" . Interesting.

Nice fried squids Smile Dec 31, 2010   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Singaporean | Halal

The prices of old chang kee's snack has been inflated tremendously over the past years.
But that doesnt stop me from patronizing it again and again.

Somehow I felt their curry puff are little overrated.
The filling used to be quite nice, but quality has gone south over the years. Taste very dried and feel like a mass machine production commodities.

Their best snack has to be the fried squid. I doubt elsewhere offers similar stuff.
Crunchy squids with it's original flavor retained. Sinful but fulfilling snack.
$1.50 for a stick, still considered okay as squid are not really cheap to begin with.

Nice Char Siew Smile Dec 31, 2010

Categories : Cantonese/Hong Kong | Roasted Meat

It was an accident to discover this stall when I was roaming aimlessly around the area.
Tried the charsiew and roast pork noodle.

Portion for noodle is a little tad small but it make up with good quality roast meats!

Infact, it's is very much similar to what I had in Hong Kong.

Roast meat was pretty lean, with ligh crunch on the skin and some salt to flavor.
Charsiew was very well roasted. Thin light crisp on the outside with some char fragrant.

Pretty decent find at this hawker center.

Wide Variety of Food Smile Dec 31, 2010

I think for those who frequent T1 canteen, you wouldnt have missed this excellent stall out.

They serve a wide variety of fresh food at an affordable price, even when you're not entitled to any staff discount.
The 4 variety of food which includes, long bean, sweet&sour pork, beancurd w/salted egg and steam egg cost me only slightly over $3.
Absolute value for money.

In addition, do try out their claypot dishes !
Wonderful claypot rice they have.

Good Pau on the go! Smile Dec 31, 2010

Ho Kee's mince pork bun are one of my favorite breakfast whenever I'm on the rush in the morning.

Somehow, there pork buns differentiate itself from the usual steam bun in kopitiams.
Firstly, the ratio of lean and fat mince pork are rather consistent. Secondly, the buns are all made freshly everyday and you could really taste the tenderness and crunch of the fresh pork.
Seasoning are done to a right degree, not too overwhelming.
Bun are not too thick either, just right for me.
