Signature Dishes
Secret-not-so-secret-anymore: this is my first visit to this part of Singapore - mostly because I didn't had the habit of dining out a few years back. But boy, I knew I couldn't miss out on this place which was slated to be one of the corners in this gourmet paradise city. The crowd is still enthusiastically raging within this packed pavillion at eight in the evening. Many people were standing around waiting for a seat, while exerting eyepower at those who have already finished their food. In the sweltering heat, you might think some people would retreat into the cooling restaurants or bars nearby, but no - plenty swarmed around and waited for a place. It was really humid in the hawker centre but there must be a reason why people are willing to endure the heat just to dine here!One of the more interesting and rarer dishes was the savoury oyster cake ($2.50), which was jam-packed with juicy oysters mixed with rice flour, spring onions, and shrimps. The exterior was also pan-fried to a crisp topped with peanuts. It is quite a treat! I would eat an entire oyster cake myself if only I'm not saving stomach space for more!

I am not a big fan of oysters because it tastes too much of the sea but I like to eat oyster omlette and fried oyster cakes. I usually take the omlette sans oysters (strange but true).This place served up fresh tasting oyster cakes fried in fresh oil. I love the fact that it was chockful of chives, and had some minced meat in it. The fritter was crisp at the edges and warm and tender on the inside Best of all, the oyster did not have a strong flavour and blended well with all the veggies and fritter I've tried the ones sold in Maxwell but it was rather dark brown, an indication that the oil used for frying has been reused a long time - definitely a put-off

This is one big fat popiah at $2.00, a little pricey, the taste is not outstanding and worst, i did not expect to find coriander in it. Strange choice indeed. The very first ever popiah i came across that include coriander as part of their filling, it did not taste good, not at all. I simply do not know how to appreciate it. Even if put the coriander aside, this popiah tasted too forgettable to my liking. Would i eat it again? i doubt i would. There are many other better and cheaper popiah stalls around. I do not mind to travel for good foods, Singapore is relatively small anyway so distance is no hindrance to good foods.
