Revisiting the yang zhou fried rice at See Sean Rice Stall (时鲜饭店)

See Sean Rice Stall (时鲜饭店), yang zhou fried rice 扬州炒饭

Been a while since we've had the yang zhou fried rice from See Sean Rice Stall. It's as tasty as I remember. I don't know if I can actually recall any local styled fried rice that's as good or better at this price point. Will be back to explore beyond their fried rice territory.

Bee hoon from Ah Seng Teo Chew Minced Meat Noodle (亞誠潮州肉脞面)

Ah Seng Teo Chew Minced Meat Noodle (亞誠潮州肉脞面), bee hoon

Finally got to try the bee hoon bowl from Ah Seng Teo Chew Minced Meat Noodle. Was a lot lighter than I imagined compared to mee kia or mee pok. Beyond textural differences, it was the same vinegary taste like the previous bowls.

Really tender fishballs.

Boon Heng Atas Roasted Delight (文兴 港式烧腊), People's Park Food Centre

Boon Heng Atas Roasted Delight (文兴 港式烧腊), char siew rice

Boon Heng Atas Roasted Delight (#01-1150 People’s Park Food Centre, 32 New Market Road) is the stall at the corner of the section where most people are having mala xiang guo. They're apparently a multi branched brand. The char siew (半肥瘦) rice was easily one of the better ones I recall from recent times. Sticky sweet, caramel-y and with partially melty flavourful fat layers. Kinda in the same leagues as Shun Feng Roasted Delights. Rice was also moist and tender. Will come back again.

Dalila's Kitchen, Ubi

Dalila's Kitchen, nasi padang

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

Hengli Kampung Nasi Lemak Nasi Padang (恒利甘榜椰漿飯), bee hoon

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

Eddy's, duck confit

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.
