Seng Heng Hainanese Boneless Chicken Rice @ Bukit Timah

 

In order to get a taste of this tasty plate of $3 chicken rice, you will need at least 30 to 40mins of spare time to join in the weekday lunch crowd. We were there at 11am on a weekday, and we only managed to place our order at 11.40am. Along the way, you tend to have thoughts of why are you wasting your time in a queue, and for just chicken rice. You WILL have your doubts.

You will start wondering why are there people who are willing to stand in queue for so long, just for a normal chicken rice.

As we got nearer to the stall, we noticed that the two guys who were taking orders for dine in or take away, packing the food, were SO diligent, they even brought the packed food to customers seated on the other side of the hawker centre. The uncle who was chopping the chicken, serving up soup, was moving so fast, we were sure he can't be caught on a speed cam. Jk ^^.

So, the reason wasn't them being slow. It was because most of the customers were ordering 8 packs of chicken rice, 7 packs, 10 packs! The minimum we heard, was 4 plates. So what exactly is their secret?? Nostalgia? Rice? Chicken? Chili sauce? Service?

We believe it is all of the above. Let's break it down.

Most of the customers were greeted and probably not their first time there, suggesting they were recurring customers. Their rice was not soggy, nicely cooked, fragrant and grainy. Their boneless chicken was SO DAMN tender even for breast meat, sligth crisp of roasted chicken skin, and the awesome gravy.

Lastly, their chili sauce was SO AWESOME! You could have at least 3 packs of rice only, just with their intense, thick, spicy savoury chili sauce. You will be blown away with these combined.

And it is really worth mentioning that even with their crazy bee line of business, they were still so polite and efficient. Truly worth the wait!

Xiang Di Mi Fen Pasir Panjang Food Centre – Fatty Ipoh Noodles Review

  When you think of crispy noodle dishes, most of us immediately picture the classic deep-fried yee mee swimming in luscious egg sauce gravy. But over at  Fatty Ipoh Noodles (肥仔怡保炒粉)  in  Pasir Panjang Food Centre , there’s something different sizzling away on the wok. Enter the  Xiang Di Mi Fen (香底米粉)  – a rare twist that swaps out yee mee for bee hoon, and the results are worth every crunchy bite. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) What makes Xiang Di Mi Fen special? Here’s the magic: instead of sturdy yee mee, the hawker goes with delicate bee hoon. Deep-frying bee hoon isn’t as straightforward – it’s finer, more brittle, and breaks more easily, which means it takes extra skill to get it golden, crispy, and ready to hold up under a blanket of silky gravy. That’s already a show of craft. The glorious egg sauce gravy Once the fried bee hoon hits the plate, it’s doused with a  luxurious egg sauce gravy  that cl...

Experience Spicy and Savory Flavors with Ng Kuan’s Chilli Pan Mee Pork Cutlet Ban Mian

Looking for a tasty late night meal around Hougang Kovan area? We headed down for Ng Kuan Chilli Pan Mee for their 炸猪肉板面, spicy noodles with their delish pork cutlet for this food review. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) Their noodles were amazingly springy, coupled with their awesome thick chili that was spicy and marbled with texture. Mixed together with their noodles and you get a delectable and tremendously satisfying combi. Thrown into the mix was an egg with runny yolk for the added smoothness and silky texture added to the noodles. For the crunchy department comes in the form of savoury crunchy ikan bilis, as well as crispy deep fried shallots and garlic for the uplifting flavour and aromatics. On the side, we had their deep fried pork cutlet, chopped into bite-sized chunks. They were fabulously deep in distinct flavour, crunchy and varying and superior in taste and texture. Although greasy, it was a marvelous pairi...

Hunan Pork Belly at Xiang Xiang Hunan: Crunchy, Spicy, and Lip-Smacking Good

  You know a dish is that good when you keep coming back for it. And that’s exactly what happened on our third visit to Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine 湘香湖南菜 —this time at AMK Hub. We already had high expectations from our past experiences, but once again, their Hunan pork belly blew us away. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) What Makes This Hunan Pork Belly Stand Out? First off, let’s talk about the star of the show: their Hunan stir fry pork , made with a heavenly combo of Iberico pork belly and lean pork. It’s a dish that really brings out the spirit of Hunan cooking—bold, fragrant, slightly spicy, and loaded with green pepper aromatics. The pork belly is wonderfully fatty and tender, with that unmistakable richness that Iberico pork is known for. The lean pork adds a nice balance so it doesn’t get overly unctuous. And then there's the rabbit ear fungus. Yes, rabbit ear fungus—also known as Mu Er or Yunnan black fungus . It...
