i-go hawker

We revisited the Redhill hawker centre today to check out its food after its recent renovation. Did not manage to find our favourite black carrot cake, but ordered the good old Satay Bee Hoon. Priced at $3 it was still good as it used to be, and the owner seemed friendlier! We even bought an additional pack of his Satay sauce to spice up a coming home-cooked CNY dinner.

After shopping at Ikea and Queensway Shopping Centre, the next choice to ABC Market (still under-going renovation) for dinner was Alexandra Market. There was plenty of food there while we settled for the popular Bak Kut Teh just to satisfy our sudden craving for it. I thought the meat was somewhat so-so only, although its soup should appeal to the herbal lovers. Sitting right in front of a chicken rice stall we conveniently ordered a plate of it to add on to the variety. The chicken meat was quite smooth and tender, however some parts were found to be not fully cooked. The verdict: still not comparable to our favourites at Chinatown Food Centre 2nd level and Tian Tian Chicken Rice at Maxwell Market.

There seemed to be much more other food to try out there, especially the roast duck stall that caught our eyes. Its charcoal-burnt ducks looked tasty from our distance, topped with the many accolades that further suggest it should be worth trying on our next round there. Meanwhile, we look forward to the re-opening of ABC Market...
