Hong Lim Food Complex (Part 1)

This is my fav place to eat whenever the weather is cold and I want a place without air-con. (also whenever Blamer pull stunts and pang sei me last min for her flings).

It serves decent hawker fare at really good prices. But of cos, u must be able to hunt down the few famous stalls here.

No 1: The Wanton Specialist Shop

This shop is located on the second floor. There's actually another wanton stall selling exactly the same items but dun be mistaken, look out for this sign board for the authentic stuff.

The mee is very springy, char siew is sweet, not too fatty. The sauce is the dark type, which I prefer compared to those that depends on the chilli, if u know wat I mean. For some noodles stall, if u order the mee without chilli, this translate to mee with just ketchup sauce. (so unprofessional) In my opinion, good noodles stalls shld have their own special sauce, and the chilli is just a condiment. (like this stall.)

The wanton soup. Sad to say, the wanton is just so-so only. Overall, a decent wanton stall.

No 2: Tuck Kee Sah Hor Fun

This shop is also located on the second level. It is a corner store with a bah chor mee stall beside it. Can't miss it for it always has a long time during lunch time.

I always order the prawn with crayfish hor fun. However, they do have other combination like dumpling with prawn. Just prawns or just crayfish. Or chicken with prawns or crayfish. I think the sauce is superb and the prawns are really fresh. Can't really say about the crayfish though cos sometimes I dun think they tasted that nice. The serving is generous and the size of the crayfish is pretty decent too given the price.

No 3: Hong Kong Pork Rib Rice

This store is again on the second level. (strange all the great tasting stalls are at the second floor so far) According to the sign board, the owners are selling authentic Hong Kong style steamed rice. Blamer usually orders the pork rib rice shown below:

The rice is always so savoury and the pork ribs fragrant, soft and succulent. Definitely will leave u craving for more.

For me, I quite like the chicken and mushroom rice, 'cos it is easier to eat without all the bones.

Looks almost the same as the pork ribs rice hor.

However, a must-must order item from this store is their soup!

Soup is cooked with black-eyed beans, groundnuts, chicken feet and dates. All natural, u can't taste anything else but the wholesome goodness of all the ingredients brewed for hours to perfection. Yummy!

No 4: The Old Stall Prawn Mee

Just the sign broad alone is enuf to make me wanna try their mee at least once. Offers the common prawn with pork ribs mee, or the prawn with pig's tail mee. (sometthing which only YZ would eat)

For me, the most important factor that distinguishes a good bowl of prawn mee is the soup. This stall ok lah, the soup is quite tasty. So far, only the prawn mee stall at Chomp Chomp (previously from Adams Road Food Centre) has managed to really wowed me. The other wow factor is that they allow you to have second helpings of the soup without extra charge!

That's all for this post. Think I will have many more opportunities to snuff out more of the goodies here (since Blamer will continue to fly me kite now and then), so stay tuned for more : )
