Came across the mention of this stall (#01-1044 People's Park Cooked Food Centre, 32 New Market Road) online which serves Szechuan small eats - or more commonly referred to as 小吃. Was recommended their liang mian (凉面). Damn this was so good. This bowl was a melange of flavours ranging from sour from the vinegar, heat from the chilli and an overall umami-ness that paired with the texture of the firm thin noodles, crunch from bean sprouts and peanuts. And others. Spicy and sour and I need to come back again.
Was intrigued by their hei tang dou hua (黑糖豆花) so I got a bowl to try. Being the noob, I hadn't realized that this wasn't meant to be sweet as 黑糖 might have implied. I had initially thought it to be a dessert until they started adding spring onions and coriander and the proprietor followed up with a '要辣吗?'. It's sour and savoury and actually, pretty good. Same bean curd as the local variety, just not with syrup.
Update: One week later......
We came back again and ordered again the 黑糖豆花. I was reminding them about the coriander that I didn't like and also wanted indicated that we didn't want it spicy. The proprietor looked baffled today and responded that there is only 黑糖 and nothing else. Dum dum dum......so what I supposed happened the last time was that they probaby heard my order wrong and I had gotten that wrong order without any of us being the wiser.
