Seng Heng Hainanese Boneless Chicken Rice @ Bukit Timah Food Centre

Was in Bukit Timah Food Centre today and decided to try the super ultra popular chicken rice stall. There are I think about 3 or 4 chicken rice stalls in this food centre, but this stall just seems to have along snaking queue!

I waited around 30 minutes to get to my turn! The first 6 persons in the queue was having takeaways of 7-8 packets each! After they left, it was rather quick.



While I was queueing up, I had a chat with the 'aunty' who was behind me. Another guy behind her also joined us. The lady said that this stall is cheap and good. Only stall that people will queue for. This stall with the next few stalls around have been around for the longest time. They are the second generation. Hmm this lady must have been eating this chicken rice for years to know the history. I asked her which is nicer, the roast chicken or the 'white chicken'. She always order the roast chicken as it is less oily.

Anyway, since I had to queue for so long, I might as well order two types! (my bro will help to finish it for sure. haha)

The verdict, both bro and I think it's OK, quite decent. Portions are quite ok too for a $3 chicken rice.



My brother likes the 'white chicken', while I prefer the one below, the Roast Chicken.
Chicken rice is something very personal isn't it? Haha..



The chicken rice that my aunt says taste better than the other stalls.



This is the chilli that makes people addicted to their chicken rice? My aunt likes their chilli.



By the way, my uncle thinks its over-rated. He would not queue for it.
(See, everyone in Singapore has their personal rating of chicken rice!)

148 Curry Rice @ Bukit Timah Food Centre

Someone left a comment on this blog, sugggesting that I should try the Curry Rice at this food centre. I finally did, last Sunday.

There sure was a long queue. The queue was fast moving, so that's good.



I had 2 vegetables, 1 mushroom and one curry chicken wing. I think it was $3.
As it was 'Curry Rice', a generous amount of curry was poured over it.
The vegetables were nicely cooked, chicken curry was almost 'melt in your mouth' because it was so soft. It was tasty, but a bit messy. LOL...



Do you realize that there are people around you that will never order 'mix rice'? It is not that they do not like to eat them, but it clashes with their personality! I know of a few people who is like this.

They take a look at it, think that it is so messy, and just could not stand it. The only way they can have mix rice is to request that they have the food separated into individual plates. It will then look neat and proper.

Just wondering.. How many of you are like that too?

I am one who likes this mess, I can scoop up a spoonful of rice and taste all kinds of flavours in it. Doesn't it gives you satisfaction? haha...


Anyway, the address:

Mien by Firstpasta @ Bukit Timah Food Centre

Was at Bukit Timah Food Centre today. Wondering what to eat, I saw aunt having this. It looks very tempting and it smells so good too. Mushroom and Chicken Pasta with Laksa sauce from Mien. (Think the laksa sauce is a recent addition?)



I was wondering what I should eat, so I walked around the food centre. The smell of the laksa sauce made me want to order it as well. So I did. I had the Seafood pasta with Laksa sauce. $4.



Yummy. But be careful. Sauce splashes happens. (all the time!) Arrgh. I had some laksa sauce splattered on my shirt.

I had my order done in less than 2 minutes. The best stall to order if you want really fast food.

Food @ Bukit Timah Food Centre

Today, our family dropped by the Bukit Timah Food Centre to have lunch. I had duck rice which was err, not really nice. Wrong choice to pick.

But sis and aunt felt like eating 'ngo hiong', so they picked a plate to share. The rest of us got to eat it too.



Aunt said that this new stall selling 'Hokkien Mee' is not too bad. So she ordered a bigger portion to share. It's on the left when you come up the main steps, facing the church / Pei Hwa Presbyterian Primary School.



On the next row, (the same row as the Chwee Kuey stall), the BBQ Chicken wing stall is also fairly recent addition. Their chicken wing's nice. $1 each.



Hope you had a great weekend.

Sin Chew Satay Bee Hoon @ Bukit Timah Food Centre

This Satay Bee Hoon stall at Bukit Timah Food Centre almost always have a snaking queue. Why? People just love it. Me included. Maybe it's the Satay sauce that covers it?



Decided to ruffle it a bit, so that you can see the bee hoon below. I think the texture of the bee hoon's nice, that's why I like it.



Well if you wanna try it, watch the opening hours. They don't open on Mondays and Tuesdays.
On Wednesdays to Friday, they only open in the evening.

The best time is to go during the weekends, like what I did.

Lunch @ Bukit Timah Food Centre

Some shots of the lunch we had at Bukit Timah Food Centre today.
Walked around and did not know what to eat. End up eating CKT. From Stall 02-181. The stall somewhere in the middle, beside the Chai Tow Kueh stall. Heard that this old man has been frying CKT for a very very very long time here. Yummy...



The urge for rice flour produced food did not end with CKT. I had 2 pieces of Chwee Kueh too. ;-)



Sis had the pasta from "Mien" instead.



Looks plain? But it's tasty and very fast. You get it done in 2-3 minutes.



What's this? Ham Chim Peng. Forgot the stall number, but this was what was left. It sells out very fast. Many like the 'you tiao' here.



Hope you had a great week.

Satay @ Bukit Timah Food Centre

Sis and I were visiting uncle and aunt's place for dinner to pass them some stuff we got them from our holidays. We did not tell them earlier we are coming, but they said come over for dinner nonetheless.

A bit 'paiseh' for being last minute, so we 'tapow' some satay from the Bukit Timah Food Centre.



We got it from the stall facing the HDB. It's from the Western Stall + Satay Stall. The western food part has not open for months though. 40 cents. But it seems the satay stick has shrunk. Yes, everywhere you go, you can feel the shrinking of food portions.

Uncle told us, this used to be the nicer stall, but now the other stall at the other side seems to be better now. Yes, musical chairs. LOL.

Local breakfast packed from Bukit Timah Food Centre

Last Sunday around noon, our youngest sis flew back to London. Just before she flew back, it was her last breakfast here. A few days ago she still had a short list of things yet to try.

After church, we walked over to Bukit Timah Food Centre and packed breakfast home. Here's some of the things we bought that was on her list.

Here's the Chwee Kueh that she wanted to eat. We bought 2 packs of 6 pieces at $1.50 each.

It's such a comfort food ya? Warm, soft yet firm steamed rice cakes. Topped with chai por that is so fragrant and yet not so salty. Add a bit of chilli. Oooo.... Satisfaction.



It's carbo and more carbo. Made also from rice flour and radish. Chai Tow Kueh. We know sis don't like the black version, so we queued up for the 'white' version. There are I think 3 or 4 stalls of CTK at Bukit Timah FC, we like this particular stall where our family thinks is the best. (Main staircase up, the 2nd aisle I think, I recognize the stall, but not the exact location.)

Another dish with Chai Por! The crispy eggs and skin on the outside, soft in the inside. We like it like that! We ordered a $4 and it was such a big pack.



We also had 'Ngor Hiong'. This mix of various fried stuff and century egg is my other sis fav. Yup, she queued up for this. We had 3 packs of bee hoon to share. $15



What a full breakfast we had.
Any of the above is your favourite comfort food too?

Nibbles @ Bukit Timah Food Centre

Weekend nibbles at Bukit Timah Food Centre. Some things that we eat not because we are hungry, but 'mouth itchy' want to eat something kind of food. They are all quite tasty. All eaten at Bukit Timah Food Centre.

Bedok Chwee Kueh. (yes, this is Bkt Timah, but you can get it here anyway. haha..)
I like chai por a lot! hehe..



Popiah and Kueh Paiti.
Kueh Paiti always reminds me of mum's 2nd sister. she always makes the shells for us :-)



Rojak. I like the 'you tiao' the most. :-)



Do you all like to nibble on food like these? :-)

Mien by Firstpasta @ Bukit Timah Food Centre

Once in a while, sis and I will think of having nice pasta at very good prices. We have this at the Bukit Timah Food Centre. It is also very fast! He chef can dish out something delicious in a few minutes. Talk about fast food.



This was eaten today, Chicken and Pesto Linguine.



Unlike other places where the linguine is too soft, this one is al dente too. Well, he has lots of food reviews pasted on the wall. $4 only.

Quick Breakfast @ Bukit Timah Food Centre

After church service, sis and I were really really hungry, so we went to have breakfast at the food market next to our church.

We were going to have lunch soon, but we have not had breakfast, so we ordered some light food lah. But... this was only part of the food, we ordered many other things. haha...


Chwee Kuey. and oh..... how I love chai por.



We saw someone ordering so many of this Paper Wrap Chicken at the next table, so we thought we would try it too.



So so lah, the chicken sticks too much to the paper.

Asam Fish, Ngor Hiang @ Bukit Timah Food Centre

Sis and I we went to Bukit Timah Food Centre to have lunch few days ago, and it shows we have very different liking for food.

She likes to order Ngor Hiang when she comes here.



For me, I almost always order this, if we are not sharing food. I like Assam Fish. This fish reminds me of childhood food too. Sis wont touch this at all! haha..



I almost always certain order bitter gourd to go along too! I remember a friend who says, you are eating the same thing again!



Your siblings like the same food? I know my other siblings like different food. Do you know what your siblings like or hate?
