The blog is a listing of my personal favorite places or stalls to eat. It is not a listing of the "best" place as each one of us has our own individual preferences.

Someone hap blogged that the Hockkien Mee is probably one of Singapore’s under-represented dishes and I cannot agree more. The Hockkien Mee is so much a part of Singapore’s Street Food heritage that I just wonder why it is not right up there with the likes of Chili Crab or Laksa…
Lots of fantastic food in Toa Payoh and these 2 Hockkien Mee are my 2 favorites.
1) Serangoon Garden Fried Prawn Noodle
实龙岗花园驰名炒虾面
Blk 210 Lorong 8 Toa Payoh #01-19
Toa Payoh Lorong 8 Hawker Centre
Singapore 310210
Closed on Monday
“Discovered” this stall by chance when on one particular day, one of my favorite Kway Chap stall was close and I thought “hey! There a hockkien mee stall, let’s try it” and as they say, the rest is history. Drier than the one in Toa Payoh Lorong 1 but there is a slight “burnt” flavor the I liked like it was fried using charcoal fire. The chili is also very good.
Gurmit and Belinda beat me to this stall in reporting about it. It was featured in “Makan Places, Lost and Found”
Queue factor:
2) Tian Tian Lai Hokkien Mee
天天来炒福建虾面
Blk 127 Toa Payoh Lorong 1 #02-27
Toa Payoh Lorong 1 Food Centre
Closed on Mondays
Had “discovered” this place because of the close proximity to my work place. The noodle is sort of more wet that the one in Lorong 8 but the flavor is really “strong” and I usually order their biggest S$5 portion. The chili is also fantastic.
