The morning hawker centre has many gems. A plus point is that some of the stalls operate as early as 6am. There's something for everyone. Be prepared to queue if you want the best. Our strategy is always divide and conquer. Among the top tiered stalls are the Tanglin Carrot Cake, Beach Road Fish Soup, Lor Mee, the mee pok stall (green bowls) and prawn noodles. The Whampoa beancurd that you see in several hawker centres originated from the corner stall near the car park. The owner makes it fresh daily and only starts selling it at 7am.

Food was alright, have some famous stalls here. The porridge was surprisingly good. Not the most cleanest and ventilated place but have to come early afternoon if not most stalls are closed.

Hokkien mee and oyster omelette are best comfort food. Hokkien mee looks drier but the wok hey is still there. Oyster omelette is crispy and oysters are juicy and plump.

Was just passing by and decided to give Uncle Sim’s traditional lor mee a try for lunch. From the very first bite, I knew I had stumbled upon a hidden gem. The flavours are rich and truly authentic. I’d definitely recommend tourists to come and experience this unique taste—it’s not something you’ll easily find elsewhere. Even as a local, this was my first time discovering it!

[WHAMPOA, SINGAPORE] was the first time at Whampoa Market at night and it was lit! Loads of people were feasting away and we did so as well, although the food we got was not as good as expected... Let's start with the decent stuff first. The Special Fried Oyster 🦪 ($10) from Whampoa Traditional Fried Oyster was quite decent, with a good amount of egg and starch given. The omelette was fried well, not too oily, and you get some nice crispy bits. Oysters were fresh, and fried separately with some kind of chilli and garlic sauce. To be honest, I think the cheaper traditional fried oyster is good enough and there's probably no need to pay this premium. Now for the not so good items... Hokkien mee 🦐 ($6) from Singapore Fried Hokkien Mee seems to be a popular one and the plate does look promising, but that's about it. I was finding flavour within the dish but it was lacking the seafood and meaty notes. The chilli had to be mixed in for flavour. This was way too starchy as well. Mama Noodles 🍜 ($8) from Authentic Siam was also disappointing, as the soup was quite heavily watered down. Probably the only saving grace was that quite some seafood was given. We cycled from the east to Whampoa to try out this hawker HAHA, I guess there's always hits and misses in every food adventure and I would like to share the not so good stuff as well. Are there other stalls I should be trying out? Do let me know! 😋
