Freshly prepared daily, Maxwell Centre’s Hainanese Curry Rice serves a delicious rendition of the popular Singaporean comfort food! With thick, crispy slices of pork cutlet drenched in the savoury, gooey mixture of sauces, topped with a perfectly fried egg, this plate of curry rice is sure to invoke warm feelings of nostalgia. Especially for first-timers, this store is the perfect benchmark for a good plate of Hainanese curry rice!
A rarity nowadays, Maxwell Food Centre’s Hum Jin Pang serves up traditional fried dough fritters, at only $1 for 6 pieces! The delicious snack comes in two flavours – Five Spice Salt and Sweet Red Bean. With both savoury and sweet flavours offered, the stall caters to different preferences, and both variations are equally soft, chewy and delicious!
We all know of the infamous Tian Tian Chicken Rice, but we’d skip the queue and the crowd in favour of Tong Fong Fatt Hainanese Boneless Chicken Rice. The chicken meat is tender and juicy, and well-seasoned with the flavourful sauce. The rice is also silken perfection, carrying a strong punch of flavour and aroma. Paired together, the stall creates a wonderful plate of chicken rice that appropriately represents Singapore’s national dish.
It’s rare to find Peranakan or Eurasian food in a hawker centre, but Popo and Nana’s Delightsdoes both so well! Serving up a daily rotation of four set meals, there are endless options to try out at this stall. Each set comes with your choice of white or brown rice, vegetables and a bowl of soup of the day, at an affordable price point of $6 per set! Also, they don’t use any MSG in their dishes!
