Sin Chew Satay Beehoon @ Bukit Timah Market & Food Centre



As usual, any long queue at any stall means it is famous, it taste great, it will be awesome. With reviews everywhere online that this stall is a must try, so we queued and we tried. It took about 15mins on a weekday at 11am.

Was it good? It sure was decent and at most mediocre. Was it worth queuing for 15minutes? Not really, for the attitude of the old lady (probably the boss) wasn't really welcoming. The arrogance smeared all across her face was too much to stomach, let alone enjoy the meal.

Let's break it down, if there were anything to be broken down....

The most important aspect of a satay beehoon has got to be its sauce. Let's start from there.

The sauce was not overly salty, no texture, or rather smooth and you can't feel the peanuts. It wasn't blend or overpowering. We guess that is why it is popular.

There was ONE prawn for a $4 plate, Four pieces of cuttlefish, some stalks of kangkong and beansprouts, about 5 slices of pork.

They do not offer cockles with their satay beehoon, so do not start hunting for them in the plate.

With such mediocre food and "amazing attitude", it begs one to wonder, what keeps the snakey queue going. Is it nostalgia? Or maybe because they are only open 4 days a week? Or it is their sauce that gets customers coming back? Each to their own opinions. But we stick to our deduction that it just ain't worth the time queueing. It is decent food, but just ain't worth the wait.

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...

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...
