The endless debate over Whitley Road Big Prawn Noodle vs. Albert Street Prawn Noodles will probably never end as everyone has different opinions of the dish. Brimming with noodles in a brown broth with bean sprouts and prawns, the dish was not overly oily and we enjoyed the balance of flavours. However, we just can’t seem to pick one over the other! Who reigns supreme in your books – Albert Street...

Be prepared for a wait especially during lunch time, as the owner fries each plate of char kway teow individually. His rendition is more similar to Penang char kway teow than the usual black, dark soy sauce-laden char kway teow that’s more common in Singapore. Each plate is smoky and slightly charred with good wok hei, and comes generously packed with fresh ingredients such as prawns and fish cake...

There's actually a fried oyster rivalry going at Old Airport Road Food Centre, and one of the parties is Famous Old Airport Fried Oyster. Gossip aside, the orh lua here is the perfect mix of cornstarch, egg and oysters. The outside is crunchy while the inside is soft, and the oysters are super fresh and huge! Of course, you have to pair it with their chilli that has a tartness that cuts through th...

This humble chee cheong fun stall has consistently been hailed as one of the best chee cheong fun in Singapore. Apart from the usual fillings like char siew and prawns, you'll also find quite unorthodox fillings such as century egg and otah! The real draw is the delicate, silky-smooth thin rice sheets which are made by hand. We love its velvety texture, and it’s simply a delight slurp down with s...

Take your pick from kway teow, thick bee hoon, or yellow noodles for your bowl of beefy goodness. For a little bit of everything, go for the Supreme Mix which consists of sliced beef, beef balls, beef tendon, beef tripe and beef shank. If you prefer the soup version of the dish, the Sliced Beef & Beef Shank Noodles features an intense beefy broth with a hint of herbal flavours! Address: 51 Old...

Hua Ji's fish soup is so addictive you just can't help but slurp up every last drop. Simmered with fish bones for over six hours, the broth is sweet and full of umami. They are also incredibly generous with their servings and ingredients are almost overflowing out of the bowl! The subtle hint of XO was just right and not overwhelming in a way that steals the spotlight from the natural sweetness of...

Hua Kee Hougang Famous Wanton Mee has clinched several awards over the years, including a mention in the Michelin Guide Singapore! They serve a variety of noodles, from their signature wanton mee, dumpling noodles and chicken feet noodles. We love that the noodles are cooked perfectly al dente, and the wanton mee is served with a sweet and savoury sauce that’s quite unlike the other wanton mee you...

One of the newer players in Old Airport Road Food Centre, Minced Pork Bros is modern bak chor mee stall and a second venture here by the brains behind Roast Paradise. Hand-making their own noodles, you can also expect zhush-ed up recipes such as the Modern Teochew Abalone Noodles, which comes with abalone, scallops, pork slices, and a hanjuku egg. Feeling indulgent? Check out the Seafood Minced Po...

Another must-try at Old Airport Road Food Centre, Nam Sing Hokkien Fried Mee sometime demands a wait of up to 45 minutes! The hokkien mee comes piled with a mix of bee hoon and yellow noodles, fresh seafood and eggs soaked in a seafood stock. They're so popular because of the combination of smoky wok hei and savoury flavours slathered on the al dente noodles! Address: 51 Old Airport Rd, #01-32,...

The owners of Roast Paradise spent four months learning the ropes of KL-style roast meat in Kuala Lumpur before setting up their very own stall. Despite being a young stall at Old Airport Road Food Centre, they have already garnered quite the following! Look forward to enjoying char siew that was cooked in a drum under charcoal for three hours, then basted with a special sweet sauce. Address: 5...
