Hougang Hainanese Village Centre

Braised duck was nice and juicy. Had a side of duck liver and pork belly - Yums! Succulent and soft. The free sambal that came with it was super good…The economic beehoon and noodles hit the spot.. the pork porridge was crammed with fresh pork and bloody liver - warm and fulfilling. The place was airy because of the high ceiling - nice ambience.

They didn’t setup their Google address so I leave a review here. Stall #02-06 new stall selling carrot cake. Came here for breakfast and noticed they also sell handmade mochi. They make it fresh every morning. Tried the red bean and lotus flavours, both were really soft and nicely chewy with generous filling inside. They’re also known for their carrot cake, which is worth trying. Nice to see hawkers putting in this kind of effort.

Impressed by the wide variety of local food and snacks at Hougang Hainanese Village Centre. There are a few popular go-to stalls such as bak chor mee, lor mee, pancakes, nasi lemak ,duck rice and local Hainanese kopi. Seating can be quite challenging on weekends due to the crowd. It’s more of a breakfast and brunch spot, with not much available after 2pm.

Local old school variety of food to chose from Reasonable pricing due to old estate. Easy access with enough parking for all Nice coffee and tea Some stall might have long queue which mean you can go try and eat Level 1 is wet market while Level 2 is a food paradise

Lorong ah soo lor mee. One of the best in SG Right balance of everything! From vinegar/garlic/chili/ingredients Love the braised egg that comes with it. The prawn noodles are flavourful and hits the spot of any prawn noodles cravings!

Hawker food, traditional and old taste, which probably makes 70-80% of the stalls closed after 2pm. Good to explore for local food taste.

At the Curry chicken noodles stall at 02-41 of the Hawker Center , this happened to me. The “Aunty” took my order for a $5/- bowl of noodles. This dialogue followed: She: which part of the chicken? I : Anything. While the Noodles was being prepared, I produced $5/- CDC voucher and she redeemed She : You owe $1. I : what? Why? She : you said “anything” and we have given u the “thigh” cut. So, it is $6! I : That is dishonest. You are cheating, Shouldn’t u tell me? She : you can top up with one $2/- CDC voucher and I will refund you $1 in cash! I : No. I am cancelling my order. To which, she along with the old man (the cook) acquiesced. Ruminating : we never stop encountering cheats and their ruses!! They are everywhere and come in so many forms and through so varied devices. Btw, there was no “thigh” as claimed.

Mar Bo lor mee just opened an outlet here not too long ago. Today we had the fried fish lor mee and the fried fish laksa. Both the lor mee and the laksa are nice and consistent in taste to the other outlets. The fried fish is bigger here. It is very crispy and tasty. However, it was a little over fried and darker but not burnt. Service was a little slow as the order taker is inexperienced. Noticed that the famous nasi lemak stall is now operated by different people. There is no queue.
