Food! Glorious Food! : Bukit Timah Market
Wah Bukit Timah Market, the fabulous food center in the middle of Singapore, serves the best food in the world! Yes! In the world! I mean what is italian food? What's in french crusine? What japanese food? Anybody famous foreign chefs who had tasted authetic Singaporean food will beg for mercy. Serious!
If you don't believe, do make a trip down to the best stalls all over the island. In this case, let me give a recommendation of the old and famous Bukit Timah Market.
Have you heard about the MRT carrot cake? The fried carrot cake to be packed into a series of rectangles! The chilly paste that comes with it is fantastic! Today I even saw some ang-mos eating them. I mean even the Taiwan Food recommending variety show recommends this!

How about the soft and tender Hokien Prawn noodles? This one makes my mouth waters. I ate this in my secondary school days, all the way to my poly days, and never got sick of it. The chilly is great! You got to try it! The mee, the soup (yes! there is a little soup at the bottom of the plate where the mee soaks in.), the egg, the little prawns, the sotong, and the Chilly, all combine into the best Hokien mee in the world. I had try hokkien prawn noodles all over Singapore, famous one too, but none comes close to this! It is just that the judges, the critics, the makansutra recommender, have not discovered this stall yet! They had been around for a long, long time.
No. #1 in the Hokkien mee category! Wallace's food guide website.
And the super, but not oily Cha Kway Teow! Its fantastic! You got to try it! The rich noodle taste is there in it, together with the egg. Better than most of the famous Cha Kway Teow stalls!
No. #2 in the Cha Kway Teow Category! Wallace's food guide website.
There are so many good offerings at Bukit Timah Market! From satay beehoon, to beehoon, to fish slices soup, to porridge, to popiah, bak chang and kueks...
But anyway, this is from the porridge stall. Ordered by my father who loved the porridge there.
Fish Porridge served in claypot, with a boiling bowl of frog legs in soy sauce, with ginger and onions.
Mouth watering?
Here's another close-up.
Notice the boiling hot contents, the sweet, yet a bit sour due to the ginger, soy sause, marinating the contents with its flavour. Even the onions and leeks inside the claypot are soft to the core.

But then, commenting for myself, I don't really go for frog legs porridge lah. Not because I don't like the taste. But I can't bear to see them killed because somebody like me just want a meal. I mean fish and chicken are already killed in the factory. But for frogs, they are kept live and killed only when there is an order. Most hawker center will keep a huge fishtank with frogs inside. When a customer order 1 or 2, the shop owner will just grab anyone of the frogs and killed it, skin, it, clean it, and then cooked it. Have you ever look at the eyes of those frogs? They stare at you, as if connecting with you, and you just realised that they have a life! Can you imagine the piece of meet that you find in your bowl of porridge is still moving about and jumping around half an hour ago?
