    Chwee kueh #02-43! The kueh was non-sticky and light, paired with chai por that is nicely fried, not drenched in oil. Chilli with hints of shrimp, the dish balances a light base and savory goodness!

    Hawker chan 02-126 chicken rice was superb. Opens at 10.30am and there was already a short line. My favourite was char siu pork. Better flavour and more succulent. Can’t go wrong with anything here!
