China Street Fritters, Maxwell Food Centre

Being local doesn't mean that one is aware of all the good spots for food. This Chinese stall (Maxwell Road, #01-64 Maxwell Food Centre, tel : +65 9239 6464) that sells fried mixed fritters of Chinese sausage like things wrapped in bean curd skin has been operating for a long time. Can't say that I recall having eaten from their place even though Maxwell Food Centre has been a fairly regular haunt since I was young.

What set this stall apart from the other wu xiang stalls was that the variety of fritters are pretty limited in selection. Not sure exactly how many different ones there are, but I hear that they pride themselves in being good at what they do have, which is something I really can't disagree with.

There's the usual fried bean curd, fish balls, meat rolls (a.k.a. ngoh hiong), liver rolls with scallions and an unhealthily tasty slice of egg and lard fritter - which by the way was really good. Those reddish pork sausage things also tasted different (nicer) from other stalls that I recall having had. Altogether excellent with a plate or two of their stir fried bee hoon.
