Taste The Kwang's Black - Charcoal Roasted Black Char Siew Wanton Noodle @ Clementi 448 Market & Food Centre

If you think that the Chinese characters 碳烤黑叉燒 on the signboard is the stall's name, then you are very much mistaken.

This stall have several outlets located around Singapore such as at Ang Mo Kio, Bishan, Bukit Merah, Clementi, Kovan, New Upper Changi, Tanglin Halt, Upper Bukit Timah and Yishun. 

When I first come across the outlet at Clementi 448 Market & Food Centre, I tried looking them up on the internet with this name but did not managed to find anything at all. 

The real stall name - 老廣黑味道 (Taste The Kwang's Black) - is found on the side menu panel instead. As the name is not in a prominent location nor particularly eye catching, it is easy to overlook. It actually took me a few days to discover the name from the photo I took.

As my sole purpose for coming to this stall is to try their charcoal roasted char siew, I decided to have their char siew wanton noodle ($4).

Snow Mount - Fried Kway Teow @ Clementi 448 Market & Food Centre

This is a continuation from the previous post. 

To recap, Snow Mount at Clementi 448 Market & Food Centre houses two of my favorite food within one stall.

One half of the stall sells fried banana, or goreng pisang while the other half, sells fried kway teow (flat rice noodle).

You may find my post about their fried banana in the link above. I shall continue with the fried kway teow in this post.

Snow Mount - Goreng Pisang @ Clementi 448 Market & Food Centre

Snow Mount at Clementi 448 Market & Food Centre houses two of my favorite food within one stall.

One half of the stall sells fried banana, or goreng pisang while the other half, sells fried kway teow (flat rice noodle).

Ironically, although both are my favorite, I hardly have them more than once or twice a year because there are non near me that is worth their calories.

Xi De Li - Glutinous Rice Bun @ Clementi 448 Market & Food Centre

If memories does not fail me, Xi De Li at Clementi 448 Market & Food Centre has been there for as long as I could remember because I used to live in the neighborhood during my younger days. 

Some of my family's favorite things to buy here are the ham chim peng, yew char kueh, beh hei ji, and chin toi.

Just a show of hands, does anybody still calls them the way I do?

Apart from the ham chim peng (salted fried bun) and yew char kueh (youtiao), do you know what the other two are?

Well, beh hei ji refers to the butterfly bun while chin toi is sesame ball.

Fong's Dee Curry Puff @ Clementi 448 Market & Food Centre

Fong's Dee Curry Puff at Clementi 448 Market & Food Centre sells a plethora of Chinese snacks but only those in the know knows that the star product here is actually their delectable curry puff.

From the mixing of flour, kneading, wrapping, crimping to deep frying, they are all individually handmade on site hence no two puffs looked the same.

Due to the small scale of production, only one curry puff flavor could be found here which is the chicken curry.

Sky Bluez - Masala Dosa @ 210 Choa Chu Kang Ave 1

A week ago, I was having my mee hoon kueh at 216 Coffee Shop along 216 Choa Chu Kang Ave 1 when I noticed this Indian Muslim eatery next door called Sky Bluez Food Hub Pte Ltd.

In my mind, I was already making plans to return the following week to try their pratas. 

Fast forward a week later, I set off from home and reached my destination at around 7am.

There was just one customer before me and the moment he left, I made an order for a egg prata and a plain one. Unfortunately, the staff told me that prata is unavailable.

I do not get it. How could a prata place not have any pratas at 7am? Is that not a staple for any Indian food establishment worth their salt? Puzzled, I asked what do they have then?

He took a look at the sauces and replied, "Dosa".

"I will have the masala dosai then".

He gave me a nod and proceeded to the back of the empty kitchen.

216 Mee Hoon Kueh @ 216 Choa Chu Kang Ave 1

This is a continuation from my previous post, where I visited 216 Coffee Shop along 216 Choa Chu Kang Ave 1 for its chee cheong fun.

As mentioned previously, the coffee shop was a stone's throw away from my house. I arrived at around 7am to place an order for the chee cheong fun. I anticipated that the rice rolls would not keep me satiate for long hence, I also ordered a bowl of dry mee hoon kueh ($4) for good measure.

Just like the chee cheong fun stall, the mee hoon kueh stall does not have a signboard as well therefore, allow me to call it 216 Mee Hoon Kueh.

I was given a number tag and told to take a seat.
