I used to come to this food centre almost every week when I was a kid and it sure created some good memories. Since I was in the vicinity, I decided to pop by for old time's sake.
Rising costs are pretty much unavoidable in life, I remembered when these guy's curry puffs used to cost only 0.40SGD each! Now, they're going for a dollar.
They still tasted just as good and the occasional chunk of chicken flesh was still present. True to his style, there still are no hard-boiled egg wedges in this.
Another joint which I loved as a kid, this place has been around for ages too. I always enjoyed hawker centre Western food because it's so localized in flavor and the gravies used that it's pretty much a genre by itself.
Although this spring chicken was pretty large, I didn't really like it how they actually cut it up abit to ensure it's cooked through. This created a chicken that was pretty dry. I can't exactly remember how much this was but I knew it was above the current market rate, like at 8-9SGD as well. So this wasn't so tip top in the end.
Although this stall sells a heapload of stuff, I've only ever ordered their Indian rojak. Indian rojak is abit like Chinese fried "lor bak" or "Wu Xiang aka Nor Hiang" and not really like the Malay rojaks consisting primarily of raw vegetables and crushed nuts. Anyway, I ordered an assortment of items to complement the spring chicken.
The ingredients are freshly fried after you've selected them and comes along with a spicy and slightly sweetish dipping sauce. Freshly fried crispy chunks of stuff is always welcomed.
All of this was finished off with a cup of ginger tea (teh halia) from another stall across the Indian rojak stall. Ginger tea is great if you're a ginger lover, especially if the ginger taste in it is strong like this one.
