CHANGI VILLAGE

Location: Changi Village
How to get there: I think there are buses like 109 that stops at Changi Bus Interchange. Google Map it. (Google Map has been a really good friend of mine recently)

Hi all! I have been wandering around Changi for about 2 days recently and I have spotted a couple of eats place that may interest you peeps:)
If you google Changi Village most likely you'd have: Best Chicken Wings, Good Hokkien Mee, Awesome Satay and so forth. Hence I'm not touching on these stuff that you can essentially find off hand online.

Today I'm gonna tell you about: Great Ipoh Hor Fun, Yummilious Fried Fritters, and awesome cheeeeeap cupcakes!

Okay, to start the ball rolling: Wee Kee Ipoh Hor Fun


I think this stall had been here for ages, but I have only heard about it from my dad recently. So being near that area, I have decided to try their Chicken Culet Ipoh Hor Fun.

  • The Sauce was rather salty on its own, so dont try it without mixing it together with the noodles.
  • The noodles were soft and chewy
  • I loved how the crispy chicken turns soggy when you mix it. It absorbed the taste of the sauce and it was heavenly
  • They served a lot of chicken, but very little soup.
  • They are really popular over there, the queue expands vastly at nights! Business was also rather good in the afternoon as the customers kept coming in small packs. 
  • I have tried their wanton mee before, but it wasn't fantastic, therefore if you're looking for good eats at this stall, go straight for this hor fun!


Next would be the Fried Fritters at Changi Village:
Honestly, I was kinda in a rush that I have forgotten to take note of the stall's name. But they are essentially located at the entrance of the Hwaker Center and I think they are the only stall selling fried fritters.
I bought a large Banana Fried Fritter ($1.20) to try and it was awesomely awesome. You know how fritters are, they are fried, oily and fatty but soooooooooooo sooooooooooooooo goooooooood and heavenly. So if you so happen to pop by, TRY IT!!!



Lastly, it would be the cupcakes I was talking about from Beccarino Cakes & Pastries.
It is located at 4 Changi Village Road #01-2072
Tel: 9763 2118
Website: www.beccarino.com
Email: ken@beccarino.com



They sell you awesome cupcakes at the price of $1.30. I bought 4: Orange Peel & Cream Cupcake, Banana Cupcake, Banana Chocolate Chips Cupcake and a Banana Walnut Cupcake. So far, 3 have entered my tummy!
  • Their cakes are rather soft and spongy. It is also full and compact unlike some that serves you loose cake.
  • They give reasonable amounts of ingredients in their cupcakes. They have toppings on top and toppings within the cupcake itself. (Just this makes the $1.30 a cupcake sooooooo worth it!!)
  • The Orange Peel & Cream was easily my favourite. The orange taste was just fine and the orange cream tastes tangy and appetizing.
  • The Cupcakes with bananas were great too! They give a good amount of bananas
  • I have to say this is one cupcake place i'd visit again.

FOOD HUNT I

Location: Hougang Green Hwaker Center (the one directly next to Shop&Save)
How to get there: buses 325, 101, 161, 256, 159 (gotta walk a little from where ever you stop)

Hi peeps! This is my first little food hunt! Since it's near my house, and I'm slightly free during lunch period, I thought I take some time and do a little exploring and find some cheap food hidden over here! 

Heng Heng Mixed Vegetable stall sells good and cheap mixed vege!!


(3 vege)

Their charges:

  • 3 vege = $2
  • 2 vege + 1 meat = $2
  • 1 vege + 2 meat =$2.50

This is my favourite stall! They always give LARGE servings of dishes!! YUMZ! The stir fried meat in sauce is the best! You guys should give it a go! I have a penchant for curry vegetables; they cook them just fine and they give you huge portions of it too!!
I advise you to head down at about 1145 if you want lunch as they queue is short! The queue starts at about 1200-1210!

Next would be Meng Kee Wanton Mee! They sell Wanton Mee at $2.50. 


(Wanton Mee with Ketchup Sauce)

While Wanton Mee doesn't differ much from stall to stall, I would say that this is cheap wanton mee around my neighbourhood! It's usually one of my alternatives when I'm too lazy to think of what to eat. Wanton Mee never fails.

Lastly, it would be the Chicken Rice from Traditional Hainanese Chicken Rice stall. 


(Roasted Chicken Rice)


(Boiled Vegetables)

They sell:

  • Chicken Rice (Roasted/White), Char Siew Rice, Roasted Pork at $2.50
  • They have a chicken rice set with vegetables at $3.80 
  • They also have side dishes like fried tofu, vegetables etc at no more than $4
I read else where that they'd give your a soup of your choice if you eat in but I had a take away, so I was unable to attest to it. I would say that the rice itself is slightly dry, I'm sure if you eat in the soup would help. The salted vegetables given is a good combination with the rice! Their chili sauce is good. I would say that the chicken set meal is more worth it as if my memory serves me well, to order vegetables separately would cost you and extra $2/$3; the vegetables in the set meal is more than enough. Also their chicken meat is tender (i hate those tough ones).

So here you go my dear friends! This is a short review of my food hunt! Those living near Hougang Green should drop-by and check em' out! If you have any places with cheap hwaker food to recommend us, do comment!! Till more to come...see ya!
