Whampoa Makan Shopping

Makan Shopping would mean we walk around the area, looking out for popular eats that attract queues or seemingly interesting stalls. And today we were at Whampoa Food Centre.

Ah Hock Fried Oyster Houngang
We had observed that business was still at the stall, but drew by its TV interview last night, and with its many display of food awards we made a brief order for its smallest $4 plate.

I wouldn't have minded of its miserable serving if food was at least palatable, but to say the least, i have had better. Saving grace was of its 4 reasonable-sized oysters.

Singapore Fried Hokkien Mee
This stall caught my attention with its big bags of noodles and plateful of shelled prawns. It certainly means they are in the big business and must have all the order of noodles they need :)

And boy i was right, while digging in to our flavorful plateful; we saw orders coming in both for take-away and dine-in. A $15 plate? How big, i wonder?

It was good; i'm missing it right now.

Cola Cold & Hot Dessert, #01-58
Tempted by the big bowl of Ice-Kachang ($1.20) on the neighbouring table, i have to get one too.

Its ever soft, finely shaved ice melts in our mouths.

And more pleasant discovery awaits us as we dig deeper into the icy hill to savour the tasty red bean mash and herbal glass jelly.

Its red bean mash reminds me of the ones we had in Japanese dessert :)

Lastly, we do take-away Duck Rice from the legendary stall that was already close to selling out with their last duckie by this early evening at 5pm.
