Dalila's Kitchen, Ubi

Malay food stall located at the same coffeeshop (Wong Poh Kopitiam, 3004 Ubi Ave 3) as 威胜碳烤烧腊 and Wan Li Xiang Chicken Rice. Got myself some spinach, sambal goreng and assam stingray. Stingray was chunky and not bad tasting. 👍🏼

Hengli Kampung Nasi Lemak Nasi Padang (恒利甘榜椰漿飯), Hong Lim Food Centre

Have noticed Hengli Nasi Lemak Nasi Padang (#02-69 Hong Lim Food Centre, 531A Upper Cross Street) pretty much every time we're at Hong Lim. Was intrigued and have made a mental note to try their food and that's been simmering in for a long while until now. 

Bee hoon was slightly peppery and had a sweetness that bothered me. I was looking forward to just savoury. Not gonna get that again. But the cabbage was nicely cooked with some crunch and that meaty fried chicken was deliciously salty infused with flavour from turmeric.

Duck confit from Eddy's

Yes, it's that same Eddy's which has shifted from the previous location to the current space (#02-13 Hong Lim Food Centre, 531A Upper Cross Street). Their duck confit was mentioned often so I thought I'd give it a go. Meat's tender, nicely browned and pretty decent tasting with that brown sauce. Not as salty as I had imagined. I thought I tasted rosemary. That aglio olio it was resting on was garlicky with a nice bit of heat. 

Dong Dong Hainanese Chicken Rice (東東海南雞飯), People's Park Food Centre

Came across Dong Dong Hainanese Chicken Rice (#01-1110 People’s Park Food Centre, 32 New Market Road) in a recent trip to People's Park. They're apparently a small chain run by the group with brands like Koo Kee Yong Tow Foo and Steamed Society/Gourmet under their umbrella. 

There's a pretty distinctive sesame oil flavour in their saucing for the chicken. Bird was slurp off the bone tender. Rice was a little light on the salt which meant that it's easier pairing with their garlicky lime-y chilli. I thought the pandan-y cabbage/chicken soup was pleasant. Don't mind coming back. 

Kian Meng Kway Chap • Pig's Organ Soup (健民), Commonwealth Crescent Food Centre

We've noticed Kian Meng Kway Chap (#02-097 Commonwealth Crescent Food Centre, 31 Commonwealth Crescent) in our visits to Commonwealth Crescent and have been wanting to try them for a while. Finally happened.

We had a plate with pig's skin, intestines, stomach, tongue, tau kwa and eggs - meat and offal were pretty tender and well infused with the flavour of the braising sauce. Broth leaned towards a slightly more herbal flavour. Nicely done here. Will come back. 

Chicken rice from Shun Feng Roasted Delights (顺沣港式烧腊)

That's chicken rice with char siew. 😬 Not bad tasting per se and nice lime-y garlicky chilli. The one I prefer and think is better in this vicinity is still Fu Xiang Chicken Rice.
