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.
*******************************************************************************
In this category, so far I have only one favorite. All others paled by comparison or at least I haven’t found one that is equally good or better. They are much under-rated.
Heng Kee Cooked Food兴记热食
Whampoa Drive Market and Food Centre
91 Whampoa Drive #01-12
Singapore 320091
Their menu are:
a) Fish Ball Noodle (Dry/Soup)
b) Meat Ball Soup / Fish Ball Soup
c) Fish Porridge (Teochew style)
d) Seafood Noodle (Dry/Soup)
e) Seafood Soup / Fish Soup
f) Fish+Prawn Soup
They use Batang (Mackerel) Fish for the fish soup and is always “fresh” because by about 2pm, they are normally sold out. The soup is the clear type and ingredients included tau-hu, tomatoes, “paper” seaweed and tan-chai. My mother is a fussy eater and normally will comment about the food that she think is over-rated but with this stall, when I first introduce her to it, she was very quiet about it and never objected when I say I will buy this soup for her unless she has somethoing else in mind.
As for the Fish Ball Noodle, they are also quite good. The noodle by itself is nothing fantastic but is their soup that makes the difference and normally by about 11am, they are sold out on the fish ball.
During lunch, the queue can be quite long but you don’t get to see it because they are still one of the few stalls that deliver the food to you. Once, I went during peak hours and had to wait for close to 40 minutes for my turn. Nowadays, I go at about 11:30am or 1:30pm when the queue is shorter. They often get flaks for the long wait but this is the one think I don’t understand, people who are willing to queue physically for a long time for their food but grumble when they have to wait to be served… Hmmm…
I think MediaCorp had not wised up to this stall because there is no physical queue. The owner once joked to me that maybe he should let people queue up like they do for the fish-head bee hoon stall behind them (the stall is also listed in only of my entry).
