My World - Singapore Food Trail

Last week, managed to find time to visit Singapore Food Trail for lunch. Singapore Food Trail is on Level 1 at the Singapore Flyer. It is actually a food centre with themed interior design and setting from the past, as well as some makeshift stalls along the roadside. It really bring out the fond memories of my childhood times where we used to eat at stalls along the roadside.



Hahaha the stallholder posed for me to take photos of his stall. No need to advertise for him, he is already famous hahaha. The sign infront of his stall indicated that. But that does not stop him from telling me, his siblings operated other oyster omelette stalls in Bedok Bus Interchange and Geylang too hahaha.


Oyster Omelette $8 (medium) - the portion looked big enough for us - yummy.

Hokkien Mee - $8 - yummy

Bak Kut Teh - $30 for 5 bowls of rice, two bowls of pork ribs soup, one bowl of pig's organs soup, one bowl of preserved vegetables and you tiao (fried fritters).

It is interesting to see road signs in the food centre too.

I will definitely go back again to try the other food too. The price might be steep but the portion is generous.

My World Tuesday - Seah Imm Food Centre

During the weekend, hubby and me had lunch at Seah Imm Food Centre. Although the weather was very hot but the food centre was not hot or stuffy cause it was rather spacious and not crowded at that time when we were there.
Lots of food choices in here, not sure what to have for lunch.

Hubby had nasi briyani (a kind of rice cooked in spices) and accompanied with meat (hubby had mutton) and it costs S$4.50

I had ayam penyat (a kind of Indonesian dish with fried chicken and belachan) and it costs S$4.00. There are cheaper prices of food here, if I am not wrong the cheapest is about S$2.50

Marymount Part 2

Shunfu Estate is a very small town off Marymount Road. Normally, I dont come here cause I dont have any friends staying around here. I used to shop at Thomson Plaza, at Thomson Road which is a road away from Shunfu Estate.

I am surprised to see so many people in the hawker centre despite the town being so quiet and small.

My World Tuesday - Circle Line - Dakota Station

After so many years of waiting, part of the circle line (almost a circle linking all the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) lines that go round Singapore) is finally ready. Those in dotted yellow lines will be open next year.

The circle line is not fully a circle yet but they are still discussing the best place to close the circle so that commuters dont have to change trains at the interchange. See report. http://www.asiaone.com/Motoring/News/Transport/Story/A1Story20100424-212250.html

Hubby and me decided to explore the areas around some of the circle line stations. We decided to go to Dakota Station (Above map - circled).

Dakota is a quiet neighbourhood and its hawker centre is very very well known. Before you come out of the station, be sure to check the map inside the station for the exact location of the hawker centre. We decided to exit at B and make a U-turn once we reach the top of the escalator. We found the hawker centre after only a five minute walk.

The food in this food centre is very local and very tasty and yummy. The price is very reasonable too. They are so much cheaper than eating at the air conditioned food court in shopping mall. But please be warned, the hawker centre is not air conditioned but there are huge fans inside it.

If you are driving, there's a car park at the food centre but space will be limited if it is during peak period i.e. lunch time and dinner time where there's a big crowd at this food centre. Parking fees in heartlands are so much cheaper than parking fees in the city.

If you are unsure what to eat or which is the best stall, just look for the queues.

Normally, if there's a queue means that stall is popular and their food must be very yummy. The queues are usually during lunch time and dinner time.

The food centre is so popular and with the convenience of the circle line, I spotted many office workers (in their company's tee shirt and uniforms) coming from as far as Marina and Paya Lebar Area.

Results: Hubby and me enjoyed the ride in the new circle line. Very clean and quiet train and fast.

Kreta Ayer Food Centre

Kreta Ayer (meaning bullock cart in Malay) Food Centre was renovated and recently reopen to the public. This is the food centre where most old tenants are back selling the good and yummy food. The new place is airy and spacious and now have more tables and chairs for us to enjoy our food.

Maxwell Food Centre

A typical hawker centre or food centre where many locals and tourists who patronise for their meals.

Maxwell Food Centre is located near Maxwell Road; near Tanjong Pagar Road. It has a long history and it was formerly a wet market during the 1950s for the residents in chinatown. It was then converted to a hawker centre to house hawkers. For more info:click here

I like to eat at this food centre when I am in the chinatown area. There are many nice stalls that sell my favourite food and at a very reasonable price.

The difference between a hawker centre and a food court is that most hawker centre are non air conditioned but with huge fans while food court are found mostly in shopping malls and are air conditioned. But most good food are found in hawker centre and they are reasonably priced.
