Lao Beng loves eating chicken rice or nasi ayam in malay. The thing about chicken is that it is a very versatile meat which can be treated and cooked in a variety of ways.
Mat Noh and Rose authentic ginger fried chicken rice is a halal food stall located in Whampoa Drive Food Centre, I was there to try their famous ginger fried chicken.
What is the greatest thing since sliced bread? It is still sliced bread!! Lao Beng (yours truly) really missed the old school traditional bakery shops like the Ghee Leong – Sing Hon Loong Bakery (新丰隆面包厂) located in Whampoa, near the Whampoa Drive Market and Food Centre.
When I was young boy in the late 80s and early 90s traditional bakeries like this was just a stone throw away from where I stay. I remember buying the bread, toasting it with my mini oven and spreading planta butter (this foolish boy thought planta was real butter) and hainanese kaya (coconut jam) on it.
Sometimes when our family couldn’t finish the whole loaf it will turn mouldy on the second night or third day. Read More
There are a lot of good food in Hainanese Village Food Centre (Lorong Ah Soo), I chanced upon Blue Star Fried Hokkien Mee one late afternoon and decided to give it a try.
Prices as shown in the picture are $3.50, $4.50 and $6.00 and I ordered the smallest portion. Read More
2015 is the year that Singapore celebrates its Golden Jubilee (50 years of Self-Independence), as some of you might know every Singaporean and Permanent Resident household will receive a SG50 Funpack. The thing about this SG50 Funpack is that not all packs are the same in terms of bag design and items.
I picked up mine today and the bag is printed with excerpts from lyrics of Dick Lee’s 1998 composition “Home”.
Berseh Food Centre is a two-storey Hawker Centre located in Jalan Besar. I was there one morning for breakfast and was scouring through the Hawker Centre and found a stall named “Special Chilli Yong Tau Foo” (集兴酿豆腐). Almost everyone near the stall was eating the Yong Tau Foo even though other food stalls were opened for business. So I decided to try and see how “special” is the Special Chilli Yong Tau Foo.
On a fine morning in July, Lao Beng (yours truly) decided to wander into the Tiong Bahru neighbourhood to take pictures of the nostalgic and unique flats. Such flats are very scarce in Singapore and viewers of the Mediacorp Channel 8 drama “118” that currently runs at 7:30PM weeknights will most likely know that the drama is based in Tiong Bahru.
Being struck by my hunger pangs, I quickly walked to the Tiong Bahru Market and Food Centre to satisfy my craving for hawker food.

On a hot late morning in July, I was hunting for brunch at Kovan Hougang Market and Food Centre. Attracted to this “Bak Chor Mee” (Minced Meat Noodle) stall due to the long queue, I decided to join in the queue of Fa Ji Minced Meat Fishball Noodle Stall.
Hello World!!
This is my first “virgin” post on HawkerFood.com !! You can call me “Lao Beng” as I am no longer young and dangerous :p
Over here, I will talk about anything and everything about Food, Lifestyles (Good and Bad) and the Nostalgic feelings that we all miss.
Take note that I am not a professional blogger nor a food critic, I am just a simple person who just wants to share my experiences. Do pardon my usage of Singlish and other non-standard form of English; I sincerely hope that you will enjoy the nonsense that I spout.
Thank you and stay tuned 🙂
