Ming Heng Boneless Chicken Rice (銘興起骨鸡饭), Jalan Bukit Merah

Came across Ming Heng Boneless Chicken Rice (#01-1688, 111 Jalan Bukit Merah) at the coffeeshop in the perpendicular block from Jalan Bukit Merah Food Centre. This was thigh meat (鸡尾) and an egg for $4.60. Portion felt a little small and the flavour in the rice was a little light - but I think it's decent and a totally legit plate.

One Ton Mee (一頓面), Bendemeer Market & Food Centre

Kolo mee from One Ton Mee #01-09 Bendemeer Market & Food Centre, 29 Bendemeer Road). Came with standard issue savoury saucing, salty minced pork and char siew. And a few wantons. Like three.

Didn't that just make it wanton mee with kolo mee squiggly noodles and minced pork? Anyways, the bowl was decent tasting if unextraordinary. What upped the ante and impressed me though was their sambal which packed considerable heat. I asked for more halfway through for that extra oomph to help inhale the rest of the bowl and it left my lips burning. It was worth it though.  

Zeng Ji Hainanese Boneless Chicken Rice (曾記起骨鶺飯), Marine Parade Central Food Centre

Trying out another chicken rice stall (#01-52 Marine Parade Central Food Centre, 84 Marine Parade Central) from Marine Parade Central Food Centre. This one has a longer and slower moving queue. Got the serving with half 白 and half 烧. No additional charge for request for thigh meat. For some reasons, the details elude me but it was all round a pretty good plate as I remember it. 

Xiu Ji Ikan Bilis Yong Tau Fu (秀记江鱼仔釀豆腐), Smith Street Food Centre

We've seen the queue at Xiu Ji Ikan Bilis Yong Tau Fu (Green Zone, #02-88 Chinatown Complex Market and Food Centre, 335 Smith Street) almost every time we're in the vicinity. Finally killed the cat to join that queue to find out what they might have been doing right.

One can get the basic bowl for $4 which includes noodles and 4 pieces of their yong tau foo. I topped up a couple of extra pieces. Not bad tasting. Came with the standard soya bean soup. I kinda liked the gentle savoury saucing they drizzled over the noodles. Watch out for those ikan bilis to avoid getting stabbed in the gums.

Tai Wah Pork Noodle (大華肉脞麵), Hawkers' Street @ 100AM

I've been disappointed by Tai Wah Pork Noodle more than a couple of times due to the inconsistency of their bcm standards across different outlets. Hence I was understandably wary of their noodles from new outpost (#04-05/06 100AM, 100 Tras Street). This was a $6.50 bowl of mee pok 白. Turned out that it was actually pretty good. Noodles were firm with a nice bite and the bowl was pleasantly lard-y. The meatballs may not be as stinky and there's less flavour of dried sole in the wanton, but I think I will come back another time for a bigger bowl.

One week later......

This was the larger $8.50 bowl. One more dumpling and meatball from what I could tell. The amount of noodles seemed the same. So it's still kinda small-ish for that what they're charging but still a solid tasting bowl. Quite sure their branches in coffeeshops are slightly cheaper than this one in the food court.

Smash Street, Amoy Street

Finally got to try Smash Street (50 Amoy Street). Space is narrow and the ventilation here isn't great so be prepared to smell like burgers when you step out.

There's a Classic and the House. The former has 2 patties and the latter has 3. This was a House which I requested for sauce on the side but there was still some sauce in it. Thankfully it wasn't overdone.

I like this. With some sauce and pickles, the meat and cheese came through like how I like them. Buns were soft but held up. May try with other toppings another time.

They forgot my pickles so I had to get some later and stuff them in myself.

Fries are good here.

Cornflakes flavoured milkshake. Pretty sweet.
