This stall just open at Terminal 2, its headquarter Hong Mao Mian Jia 红毛面家 is located at 182 Joo Chiat Road(Singapore 427453). During its previous heyday at 128 Tembeling Road, the waiting time can be 45 mins! The owner then is rumored to look like an Eurasian so everyone called him Ang Mo Wanton Mee Seller. Currently the owner at  Joo Chiat used to work as an executive chef at Park Royal. I like the wanton mee and wanton which, I find it rather good. The char siew is so so. But S$3(staff price) for a bowl of good wanton noodle where to find?
S$3.00 signature wanton noodle
Mushroom and chicken feet S$3.00
Beef Brisket Noodle S$3.50
The beef brisket noodle is good but the Ngoh Hiang is so so. The mushroom and chicken feet is delicious and the chicken feet is very well braised such that the skin just falls off the bone when your teeth sink into it.
Ngoh Hiang S$3.50

Lotus Suan S$2.50
Ice water melon S$1.30
Tau Suan S$1.30
 White Fungus S$1.30
Bubur Pulut Hitam S$1.30
The tau suan is sweet and becomes powdery after biting. It has the right consistency and texture something which is not easy to find in other dessert stall. The ice water melon is mixture of coconut milk and sugary concoction with chunks of water melon balls. The ice water melon is a pleasant delight on a hot day. Lastly, lotus suan(ling zhi suan), the lotus seeds are well cooked and the sweetness of the concoction is infused into the lotus seeds. This stall serves tradtional desserts, personally for me the stars of this stall are ling zhi suan, tau suan and ice water melon.



Nasi Lemak Kukus


908 Upper Thomson Road, Singapore 787111
Open daily except Monday from 6pm to 3am
Mobile: 8222 9517(Reni)

The owner uses traditional method to cook the rice. The rice is steamed over water rather then cooked in water which is also the meaning of "Nasi Lemak Kukus". The end result is a rice that has more grainy bite. There is a strong smell and taste of coconut and pandan leaves emanating from the rice. I believe the rice is from Malaysia which is lighter and less sticky.The best part of the rice is for $1 you get free flow or rice. Good thing always comes in pair, the sambal tumis(stir-fried sambal) is also free flow. There are 2 types of sambal tumis one sweet type and one spicy type. There are a wide range of dishes for you to choose from for the nasi.  The best part is, you scoop the dish yourself!

The Boss
Ah Seng, the boss is very friendly and speak good English. Most of the patrons do take away as there is no place to eat. He does catering for company functions and events as well.I tried the Green Bamboo or Tek  Kah(D160). The durian has a yellowish core that is hollow. The flesh is thick and creamy. It leaves a bitter and special palate that harks back the kampung durians found in those military restricted area. The yield of green bamboo is little and hencehard to come back ususally between the summer period(June to July).
Green Bamboo
Black Pearl

The black pearl is characterized by its elongated rugby ball shape. The meat is greyish white dotted with little "pearls" of black. The seed is tiny and shrivelled.
