It has been a while since Lao Beng last had roast duck rice and here I was in People’s Park Food Centre staring at the beautifully roasted ducks of Toh Kee (道记).
This stall seems to be a favourite for the older folks as I noticed many of them patronizing the stall for lunch and takeaways.
Indonesian Bamboo Cake also known as Kueh Putu/Putu Bambu as its English name suggests is a traditional Indonesian snack made of rice flour and filled with gula melaka (palm sugar). The ingredients are poured into a hollow bamboo tube and steamed to form a cylindrical shape.
It is served with desiccated coconut and granulated palm sugar. Sounds pretty familiar?? It does if you had eaten our local Singapore snack of Kueh Tutu and Putu Piring before.
Lao Beng stopped by Chinatown Complex Food Centre for lunch prior to bringing my mum for a routine checkup over at Singapore General Hospital.

Hong Lim Market and Food Centre is a good place for great hawker food; one of which is Ji Ji Wanton Noodle Specialist 山仔顶基记面家.
This is a stall helmed by a mother and her two beautiful daughters. The mother can be seen in the picture at the preparation stall on the left while the queue is snaking at the main stall adjacent to it.
