Newton Hawker Centre

this is one of my favourite white carrot cakes around- Heng's carrot cake. The kueh is home made so its soft and tasty, and they are extremely generous with the egg and shrimps. Another good white carrot cake worthy of mention would be Chey Sua at Toa PAyoh Lorong 1, while the stalls at Red Hill market and Ghim Moh serve up the best black carrot cakes imo. Lots of garlic, black sauce and cai por and neng.



from all the accolades and newspaper cuttings, the hokkien mee from this stall seems pretty promising doesnt it?




unfortunately, the hokkien mee was way below par. the stock lacked the umami taste, and the noodles were a little too al dente for my liking. apologies for the lousy shot- my friend decided to sneak a bite just as i was taking the picture.





yum! we had 2 such plates...2 with chilli and 2 without. as much as i enjoy having chilli with my food, for some reason i eat my popiahs without. guess i dont want the chilli to interfere with the taste of my fav sweet savoury sauce.


queueing for the famous Bee Heng hokkien popiah took me 10mins. but it was well worth it!



sambal sotong! one of my must-order dishes when eating bbq seafood at hawker centres. not too bad but the best are still the ones at bedok85 and east coast park food centre i think.



pretty meaty grilled sambal stingray, with spicy yet sweet sambal. not bad!


sorry i didnt get a chance to take pics of the kangkong, chicken wings, satay and sugar cane drinks before they were snapped up. but they were all just passable- nothing to write home about.

This was where we sat at the first time we visited newton together- right outside the 24hr bak chor mee stall. I took a pic of it for memories' sake as I was queueing for the popiah. We had come from watching (another) movie, and wanted a heathy supper for once. It feels like such a long time ago, but it actually isnt. His skin was peeling after a day at the beach...hmm happy memories from the past.
