Cheng Tng at Bedok Corner always good. Have not been there since the owner passed away but I think his elder brother might be running it. Bedok Camp boys will remember this.

Cheng-tng family at the next stall sells cuttle fish kangkong..... so ridiculous selling at $15 per plate.

Try the beef noodles at the hawker centre opposite ICA - Blanco court bkt, I think. Their chilli is out of this world and $ is fair. They stopped selling into the night coz of manpower problems. Lunch time is a safer bet. I used to eat there at around midnight.

My favourite Hainanese curry png is at Maxwell food center. Always a long queue line.

Thats the elder brother. I spoke to younger brother Andrew who runs the Cheng Tng stall before he passed away and asked why his elder brother charge so high and also mentioned that compared to his stall, very little business. He told me "long story" and did not want to talk about it. Younger brother collects antique and old rolex watches. Nice bugger, a bit girly and very mischievous.

Got into a fight with him in the toa payoh branch some years back....

For strong chilli, I recommend Dunman Road FC wanton mee, noodles I think so-so but chilli is damn shiok!
The other place I go for strong chilli is at City Plaza, Poon Nah City, Home made noodles. They have those ban-mian style noodles with prawn or abalone, etc. I go for the dry version and chiong the chilli over there.

P.S: they use chilli padi

This ban mian over rated I dunno why so many fans.
Some told me because they used the old school leaf veggie.
The one at old airport called JB ban mian also just as good and use the same ingredient. And the chiobu ah Lian running the stall at night is added bonus.

For me, the 3 are

1. Outram Road Char Kway Teow (Hong Lim Complex)
2. Sungei Road Laksa (Blk 28 Jalan Besar?)
3. Hainanese Curry Rice (Kitchener Road)

Have not tried the Hainanese Curry Rice at Maxwell food centre. Will make an effort to do so in coming weeks.

There is a corner stall in Redhill market that has nice black carrot cake run by a middle aged couple. ABC also has nice Kway Teow stall. Across the road at Alexandra village, there is Bak Ku Teh stall facing the back of a row of car spare parts shops. Diagonally opposite facing a shop selling glass and picture frame is a stall selling nice Chinese Fish Head curry.

My willpower is bad when it comes to food. Made a number of attempts to try the claypot laksa but ended up having the Bah Ku Teh. The cut chill in the black sauce with the right texture is just too much.

2. wanton noodles - same place used to be at dover rd opp fairfield girls'
3. nice desserts - jin jin stall same place alexandra village

Anyone tired the Chinese fish head curry at Blk 34 Dover Road. Recommended by one of the forummers here. Different but good. Really fresh. They also offer other curry dishes. s

This wan cannot liao cos it has been taken over by a PRC family and run by ATBs.

Used to patronise the stall when it was run by an old couple and their children.
