Tian Tian Chicken Rice

Probably one of Singapore’s most famous chicken rice stalls, Tian Tian’s winning formula to me has to be its rice.

Even Anthony Bourdain said that the chicken rice is so fragrant and delicious that it can be eaten on its own. The rice is warm, fluffy, fragrant, good enough to just eat with the chilli sauce.

HOWEVER, I did think that the standard of Tian Tian has dropped, ironically after winning in the “Gordon Ramsay vs Tian Tian” Hawker Heroes Challenge.

Fame has found the stall, tourists all over the world come here to queue for a plate.

Address: Maxwell Food Centre, 1 Kadayanallur St, Singapore 069184
MRT: Chinatown
After the meal: Too many stalls not to miss out at Maxwell. Zhen Zhen Porridge, Jin Hua Sliced Fish Bee Hoon, China Street Fritters, Lao Ban Beancurd, Hoe Kee Congee, Lim Kee Banana Fritters, Fried Sweet Potato Dumplings, Maxwell Fuzhou Oyster Cake and Hum Jin Peng.

Amoy Street Food Centre

Several good food centres start with “A” actually – Amoy Street Food Centre, ABC Brickworks Food Centre, and Alexandra Village Food Centre. Amoy Street Food Centre located in the central business district continues to offer quality hawker fare at very affordable prices. Located just a few minutes’ walk away from Telok Ayer and Tanjong Pagar MRT stations, the place is very crowded during lunchtime when office workers head down in droves for lunch, although that is also the only time most of the stalls are open. One of the highly recommended stalls is “A Noodle Story” which serves “Singapore-style ramen”, and is also listed on the Michelin Bib Gourmand. You get a bowl with Japanese style charshu, soy-flavoured braised egg, Hong Kong style wontons, potato wrapper prawn fritter for that crunch.

Killiney Kopitiam

Image
Kopitiam is a common part of Singapore, where a typical drink stall would sell coffee (kopi), tea (teh), milo and other soft drinks, along with breakfast items such as kaya toast and soft-boiled eggs. This is our way of life. There are Killiney Shops around, but what better way to have it at… Killiney Road! I will introduce friends to slurping half-boiled eggs with pepper and dark-soya sauce, both disgusting-looking but delicious. Also, our Nanyang-style coffee is in a class of its own. Address: 67 Killiney Road Singapore 239525 MRT: Somerset (5-10 min walk) After the meal: A Killiney Curry Puff a few shops down, or back to Orchard Road which is 5 minutes away.
