Tiong Bahru Pau

People's Park Complex Food Center
Address
32 New Market Road, 050032

It was about six years ago together with my poly friends (yanjun, cabin, brian, yibin) and I did a food race. One of the food point was Tiong Bahru bao (the original shop house store at Tiong Bahru). I was not fascinated with bao at all and this was because I had not tried Tiong Bahru bao. The first bao we ordered that hot afternoon was 'Tau Pau' (big bao) and we were warned that it was very hot inside. We were mentally prepared but did not expect that the bao was actually quite soupy. The first bite splattered much of the gravy onto our mouth and it tasted heavenly.

Today, they had opened up a few outlets in Singapore. We stumbled upon one at People's Park FC and I ordered the same old tau bao ($1.50) again without any hesitation. I must admit that it was not as good as i recalled, but still good. Mel love it at first bite, but of course I am confident that she would love every single food i recommend. The store lady owner was nice and friendly, she talked to us and allowed us to take a picture of the store.

For those who do not fancy the good old bao, try this. I heard the char siew bao was good too.

Poy Kee Yong Tau Foo at People's Park FC, chinatown

Poy Kee Yong Tau Foo
Address
People's Park Food Centre
#01-1066
11am to 7pm daily 

This is a teochew styled yong tau foo that my parents brought me to eat. Many years it stood here in People's park food market and been a decade since I first tried it.

All their yong tau foo were self-made and you do not have to worry on what to pick as they will decide for you. The highlight of this yong tau foo that i favour very much is the noodle. Each bite was just right, not too hard and very QQ.

If you ever step into chinatown people's park, try this and also the tiong bahru bao.

Big Prawn noodle at Lavender Food Market

亚巴街大虾面

Address
380 Jalan Besar, #01-10 Lavender Food Square

Business Hours
Daily: 10am – 3am
(Closed Alt Thu)

We love Prawns! There are Har kow, Black pepper prawn, Cereal prawn, Prawn cracker and not forgetting Prawn noodle! This delectable bowl of giant prawn noodle can be found in the singapore's central food haven, Lavender food market. Did I mentioned 'GIANT', Yes! the prawns compared to those shrinking ones you find in ordinary prawn noodle is the defining factor. Each bowl of giant prawn noodle cost $5 and to some, it seems rather expensive.

This prawn noodle has the most succulent giant prawn we have ever tried. Every bite entice you for more of it. Indeed, as the signboard named 'BIG PRAWNS', but when it comes to the broth we felt that it is not as flavored as Beach Road prawn noodle at East Coast. For those who savour the soup of prawn noodles should patronise the outlet at siglap, while for those who can't do without the big juicy prawns, should try the one at Lavender Food Market !

There are quite a few dessert shops along Liang Seah. Besides Ah Chew Desserts, Ji De Chi is up for challenge. What an easy and unique name for a shop that sells desserts! When I stepped into the shop, the appealing smell of durian caught me.  First thought that came to my mind was the DURIAN puree, topped with a scoop of durian flesh. The portion was so small that I finished the whole bowl within the next few minutes. Yummy !

There are many variety of desserts up for grabs.

Swee Choon Dim Sum Cafe

Swee Choon Dim-Sum Restaurant

Tel: 6225 7788

Business Hours

Monday–Saturday
6pm – 10am  
Sunday & Public Holidays
Open till 12noon  
(Closed on Tuesday Night)


This Dim Sum restaurant has established itself for more than 50years, probably your parents and even grandparents had patronised it. Located within the central food haven  near Mustafa, Swee Choon serves yummy Shanghai and Hong kong style dim sum. The price slightly pricier, with the food and varieties comparable with Geylang 126.

  

  We have Ryan and Yiling with us this time for our late night supper hunt. :) We were there at about 11pm, there was a queue in front of the cafe but the wait was short. The good news were there was seats outside and pre-order was possible. One of the must try here is their authentic mee sua kueh. Some like and dislike about this kueh, it is very crispy on the outside while soft and moist in the inside. The beancurd prawn roll was filled with plenty of fresh prawn and was surprisingly better than 126. The good size soupy xiaolong bao filled us with the touch of good old Shanghaiese Dim sum.

  

In all Swee choon has a good ambience, price wise is slightly more than 126 and its dim sum has a standard comparable with 126. :) Read more Eat more!
