#Bak Chor Bee Hoon Soup

[buffetlicious]

No, this is not from the vegetarian rice stall but Fried Bee Tai Bak (米筛目/老鼠粉) or silver needle noodle from the economy rice stall. I added a dish of sambal spicy squid to my takeaway breakfast.

For sis, a piece of sweet & sour pork chop with stir-fry Preserved Sichuan Vegetable (榨菜/四川菜) with minced pork over white rice. Mum had the Bak Chor Bee Hoon Soup (肉脞米粉汤) or minced pork rice vermicelli soup with minced pork, pork balls, slices of pork and pig’s liver.

大家好! KY, JK, SC, CY, ML and I attended an event at a restaurant in Chinatown. The event began in the evening, just as the Mid Autumn festival decorations lit up. The guests at our table were hilarious; jokes and sarcastic barbs flew in all directions, eliciting plenty of laughter. It was a wonderful night and we had a lot of fun!

We're having more cloudy and rainy days now. Last weekend was pretty cold, which had me craving local comfort foods. Chicken rice, chilli crab, laksa and char kway teow are our delicious national dishes but where local comfort foods are concerned, a few stand out to me. What I've been craving are yu yuan mian tang (fishball noodle soup) as well as bak chor mee (minced pork noodles). Yu yuan mian tang is kinda like a no-brainer meal that we order when there're no particular cravings.

Our world famous national dish is comfort food during chilly weather. Laksa hits the spot on rainy days; in order to cut down the amount of saturated fat, I leave most of the gravy behind although I do sneak in a few spoonfuls of soup. Aside from coconut milk, the ingredients are moderately healthy; there is no meat, only tofu puffs, tofu skin, fish cake, cockles, bean sprouts and thick bee hoon (rice vermicelli). Some stalls add an egg; elevated versions at hotel cafes include lobster, scallops, prawns, mussels and other seafood. Like curry chicken, laksa is a firm favourite as we enter the rainy season because the spice keeps us warm.

This week, it's mostly slurp-worthy noodles and piping hot, comforting soup. As we begin the final quarter of 2023 (it's 1 October here at the time of posting) and head into the rainy season, these dishes will be what I crave most. Time flies; catch ups with LW and YL are overdue and we've made arrangements to meet this month. Will recommend soup noodles to them 😋 I'll also be bringing Pa out for lunch and we'll possibly have soup noodles too 😋

Now that we've entered the final quarter of the year, there's much to reflect upon. The world has been through much these few years; just as we thought covid and the hardships associated with it were behind us, inflation went haywire. I'll share my thoughts, as well as my hopes and prayers in upcoming posts. For now, time to catch up on exciting Asian Games news. 下次见!

P/S: I forgot to add, Happy National Day to the PRC!

Top Singapore Food

#1 – Chili Crab

Photo from bonchan/Shutterstock Ask any local about Singapore’s national dish and chili crab is bound to be a clear favorite! Truth be told, it was even voted as one of the world’s 50 most delicious foods in a survey by CNN.

So while in Singapore, make sure to enjoy these juicy crabs soaked in a sweet & spicy tomato and chili sauce and then pair it off with steamed or fried mantous (buns).

Where best to eat it? Try out the spicy chili crabs at Long Beach Seafood Restaurant found in East Coast Seafood Centre, 1202 East Coast Parkway. This place actually serves a variation of the chili crab: the black pepper crab. Instead of the chili sauce, this signature dish is created with black pepper seasoning.

#2 – Chicken Rice

Photo from showcake/Shutterstock Another contender for the nation’s most popular dish is chicken rice — also called as Hainanese Chicken. In this Singapore dish, the chicken is cooked in a blend of pork and chicken bone stock for a flavorful bite. After cooking, it is sometimes immersed in ice water to create a glazed look. The rice is then cooked in chicken stock, ginger, and garlic. Now of course, don’t forget the garlic and chili sauce before digging in!

Where best to eat it? Brave the long queues at Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice found in 1 Kadayanallur St, Maxwell Food Centre.

#3 – Char Kway Teow

Photo from wong yu liang/Shutterstock Savor these wide flavorful rice noodles that are stir-fried with crispy bean sprouts, Chinese sausage, clams, dark soy sauce, and shrimp paste.

Relish in the filling meal with a distinct smoky or wok hei (‘breath of a wok’) flavor.

Where best to eat it? Hill Street Char Kway Teow found in 16 Bedok South Road,  Bedok South Market & Food Centre.

#4 – Nasi Lemak

Photo from Ariyani Tedjo/Shutterstock Delight in the different textures and flavors of the Malay dish: nasi lemak. The term translates to “rich rice”, perfectly describing the rice steamed in creamy coconut milk.

This national dish of Malaysia comes with fried chicken, ikan bilis (dried anchovies), roasted peanuts, egg, otah (grilled fish cake), and of course, sambal (chili paste). Switch up your meal with add-ons like ikan kuning (fried yellowstripe scad) and paru (beef lung).

Where best to eat it? Boon Lay Power Nasi Lemak found in Boon Lay Place Market and Food Centre, 221 Boon Lay Place.

#5 – Kaya Toast

Photo from bonchan/Shutterstock Start your day at a kopitiam (traditional coffee shop) and order a delicious kaya toast. This dish might seem simple at first but it’s a well-loved Singapore food. It basically consists of sweet kaya (pandan-flavored coconut jam) and a slice of butter that are sandwiched between toasted slices of bread. Typically, this is dipped in a mixture of soft-boiled eggs, pepper, and dark or light soy sauce.

To complete the authentic experience, sip on full-bodied kopi (coffee) with condensed milk!

There are also variations on this breakfast staple such as round buns, a baguette, or even crackers instead of the usual sliced bread. Other coffee shops, like Good Morning Nanyang Cafe, puts their own unique spin with the addition of caramelized orange peel.

Where best to eat it? Ah Seng (Hai Nam) Coffee found in 7 Maxwell Road Amoy Street Food Centre for traditional, char-grilled bread. Otherwise, Good Morning Nanyang Cafe found in 14 Scotts Road, Far East Plaza and 32 Maxwell Rd.

#6 – Satay

Photo from szefei/Shutterstock Any trip to a hawker centre will not be complete without your fix of satay. Relish in this delectable skewered, grilled meat, that’s typically served with ketupat (steamed rice cake), peanut dip, and sometimes cucumbers and onions too.

The meat can vary: pork, chicken, lamb, beef and so on. Personally? I like pork satay best!

Where best to eat it? Haron Satay found in 1220 East Coast Parkway, East Coast Lagoon Food Village.

#7 – Bak Kut Teh

Photo from Sirisak Chantorn/Shutterstock Bak kut teh, which translates to “meat bone tea”, gets its name from the Chinese tea that’s typically paired with this pork rib soup dish. Basically, pork bones and meat are boiled together with a delicate amount of herbs and spices.

Afterwards, it is served with tofu puffs, mushroom, rice, and you tiao (dough fritters).

Where best to eat it? Song Fa Bak Kut Teh found in 11 New Bridge Rd. (Upp Circular Rd,

#8 – Sambal Stingray

Photo from Fariq Amin/Shutterstock Another well-loved hawker centre or Singapore street food fare is sambal stingray, also known as ikan bakar (barbecued fish) in Malay.

This Singapore invention is quite a treat as it is originally grilled in banana leaf in order to retain its natural flavor. To complete it, top it with some spicy sambal paste made from chili peppers, belacan (shrimp paste), shallots and spices. Balance your meal with the salty chinchalok or cincalok, a dipping sauce made of fermented krill/shrimp, lime, and chili.

Where best to eat it? Chomp Chomp Food Centre found in 20 Kensington Park Road.

#9 – Laksa

Photo from richardernestyap/Shutterstock A highlight of Peranakan cuisine, combining Malay and Chinese influences, laksa is a creamy coconut curry sauce that is often served with cut-up noodles and fried bean curd.

As a delicacy, laksa is offered in many variants and much like the other famous Singaporean dish, fish head curry, the Assam-style has hints of sourness from mixing tamarind.

Where best to eat it? Katong Laksa, a street food stall found at 328 Katong Laksa, 53 East Coast Road, Singapore.

#10 – Bak Chor Mee

Photo from Hatchery Design Studio/Shutterstock Chow down on the hearty bak chor mee, which translates to “minced meat and noodles”. This is a delicious bowl of noodles topped with sliced pork, dumplings, pork liver, and salted fish or fish cake slices coated in a spicy vinegar sauce.

You can also choose from different noodle types such as the mee pok (flat noodle), mee kia (thin noodle), bee hoon (rice vermicelli), mee sua (wheat vermicelli), and mee tai mak (rice pin noodle).

Where best to eat it? Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle found in Blk 466 Crawford Lane.

The post Singapore Food: Top 10 Must-Eat Local Dishes appeared first on I am Aileen.

[hello-singapore-blog1]

Hawker Singapore

Singapore has been a destination we’ve been aching to visit for a long time. How could we stay away once we heard it’s home to some of the best street food in the world? Since we’re in Vietnam for a couple of months, it only made sense to hop on a plane and taste all the hype for ourselves. We pretty much flew to Singapore just to eat!

first thing to know about Singapore is that you’re not going to find “street food” on the street anymore. Instead, you head to your local hawker centre where you’ll find an abundance of stalls selling your favorite dishes. It’s a bit of a dream come true where all the food carts in an area are conveniently under one roof for your enjoyment. It also doesn’t hurt that it provides vendors with running water, seats for customers, and better hygiene for those of you out there that are scared of that type of thing (not us!).

One of our favorite Asian dishes is Chicken and Rice, and one of the best versions of it can be found in Singapore. It could arguably be one of the more popular hawker dishes, and if it was the only reason we went we’d be fine with that. We headed to the Maxwell Food Centre to try one of the most famous stalls in Singapore, Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice. It did not disappoint. The chicken was perfectly moist with gelatinous fat, and the rice contained so much chicken flavor that it was like eating more chicken. Locals advised us to eat the thick sweet soy sauce with the rice and the ginger sauce with the chicken. And as we always say, do as the locals do. After eating almost a whole chicken at Tian Tian, we still managed to fit another Maxwell’s must-try into our stomachs: Jin Hua’s Sliced Fish Bee Hoon. We got the mixed sliced fish and fried fish noodle soup and absolutely adored the creamy fish broth.

Another favorite Singaporean hawker centre was the Tiong Bahru Market. We first heard of this place on an episode of The Layover with Anthony Bourdain where he ate a dish called Chwee Kueh from the Jian Bo stall. It was a dish that instantly intrigued me with its delicate steamed rice cake topped with preserved radishes that pack a serious flavor punch. A super comforting dish that was easily one of our favorite hawker foods in Singapore. There are so many specialties in this country that we’ve never heard of, let alone tried. It was our goal to experience as many different local dishes as we could.

At the Tiong Bahru Market we were also introduced to Fried Carrot Cake (actually not carrot, but radish cakes stir-fried) and Bak Chor Mee (a dry noodle dish with varied meats including pork liver). One particular night after admiring the Supertrees and night skyline, we had one of our “it’s after dinner but I’m still hungry” moments. We decided to walk over to the Singapore Food Trail to make sure we didn’t miss a dish I really wanted to eat, Fried Oyster Omelette. As a Taiwanese-American, I’m very familiar with a similar dish in Taiwan, so I was intrigued by the Singapore variant. If you’re an oyster lover, one that likes a really strong oyster flavor, this dish if for you. The egg omelette works as a perfect carrier of the oysters, and thanks to wok-cooking everything comes out piping hot!

What I loved most about Singapore is that you don’t feel crazy about being a food lover. It truly is a country filled with like-minded food appreciators. All in all, a lot of the dishes felt familiar in that I’ve had something similarly flavored before, but unique in the way it was prepared. If you follow us on Instagram, you know we post our daily going-ons there. We were pleasantly surprised upon landing in Singapore that our followers not only offered up amazing advice, but also wanted to meet with us and show us the ropes. So a big thank you to Lisa, Laura, and Melissa for giving us a locals perspective on food and life in Singapore. It made the trip truly special.
