Old Airport Road Food Centre

I'll let you in on a secret.

DH and I, we have a lunch date once a week. We drop off the kids for their chinese class at 1.30 pm, and only need to pick them up at 3pm. We have a late lunch at the nearby hawker centre.

And it has been sooo good. Luckily for us, this hawker centre is famous for its gastronomic delights.

In fact I havent finished indulging in all of them yet.


This one is my favourite, chee cheong fun with your choice of filling - mushroom, charsiew or prawn. Just last week, I chose all 3, and it made for a filling lunch (haha, pun intended).


Doesnt look like much, but it is super delicious.


This one was famous, but I didnt quite like it, it was too dry and didnt come with the sambal chili that I have come to associate fried prawn mee with.


In other news, Cutie had a school performance and he was great.


And Sweetie is now officially a teenager because she has discovered make-up.

have a good week my friends!

Dinner @ Old Airport Road Food Centre

Before DH left for New Orleans for his conference, we were supposed to visit a friend who had just delivered her third baby. Fortuituously, she texted us to say that she was too tired that day, so we decided to turn it into date night, and have a paktor dinner instead.



DH wanted to go somewhere nice but I was really craving hawker fare - the type of place that we seldom go to, the type of place that is usually not suitable for Cutie (due to the heat, humidity, hygiene).

Old Airport Road Food Centre, recently refurbished, is now brighter, cleaner and well ventilated. Parking attendants are very vigilant here. Be warned.

Stall 103 - Foo Chow Bak Chor Mee



DH's choice of Bak Chor mee (SGD6 with extras). It was foochow style, meaning that it came with fishballs filled with minced pork, pork balls, and minced pork.



Wow, this was SO tasty! Unbelievable.

The meatballs were so bouncy and tasted like it was mixed with some salted fish. The fish balls had meat filling inside, but were not dry, on the contrary they just burst with savoury filling and soup. Like fishball xiao long baos!

DH ordered an extra portion of soup so that I could have my own bowl instead of stealing from his.

Stall No. 98 - Whitley Prawn Noodles

My own choice of prawn noodles (SGD5 for an upsized portion with large prawns). It was ok. Not as tasty as the bak chor mee. The noodles were a bit clumpy and I didn't find the soup stock very sweet.

Maybe it was just me. There are lots of accolades pasted on the glass frontage of the shop.

Stall No. 98 - Rojak

This rojak stall is very high tech. It has an electronic numbering system like the one at Cutie's paediatrician. So when your number is flashed you go up and order and collect. No need to stand in line.

It was very nice. SGD2, but a generous portion, and the tau poks and the you tiao bits were hot and crispy.

I like date night! If only they occurred more than once in a dark blue moon!
