Balestier Market

Been a long time since I revisited Balestier Market. I post about this market in my Singapore Blog.

The two stone lions flanking the Balestier Market signboard were gone.

I wondered where the stone lions (a replica of the original Merdeka Lion) are now. I googled and try to find the lions and chanced upon this blog another set of the replica merdeka lions.

At first I thought is the same set of lions but closer look, especially the tails and eyes, it looked kinda different so is not the same pair.

Geez, did not know there's so many sets of replica of the merdeka lions.

The Balestier Market is attracting more customers cause there's a lot new stalls in the market selling very good food. The new stalls were all relocated together from Long House food Centre which were closed.

I went from stall to stall to take photos of them, so many food but too bad I have a very small stomach hahaha.

There were many ceilings fans and also huge fans like this in the market, so not to worry feeling hot and stuffy in this market.

Of course, I must try Ah Hui Prawn Noodle after watching last friday's documentary show on Channel 8.

It was indeed very good and at S$5 with two and half big prawns, is really worth it. The broth is really very tasty.

Hubby ordered the chicken and mushroom hor fun, I found the bowl of noodle look odd and then I realised my hubby asked the stall holder not to add any vegetables hahaha. He hated vegetables.

For dessert, we ordered the sweet potato soup, really very tasty and good , had the taste of ginger in it and the soup was really steaming hot.

Lunch at Chisozanmai at Central Mall

Had buffet Lunch at Chisozanmai at The Central Mall. It costs about S$20 per person ($14.99 for the buffet and $1.99 for free flow of drink before tax).

Lots of varieties but no seafood nor beef.

The fried section

Vegetables corner

Different types of broth for the hot pot

Sushi Section

Shabu Shabu pork (no beef for that day)

Desserts - emptied very fast but they were quick to replenish the desserts

We had two different broth, the tom yum broth and the pork bones broth (tasted really good)

Lastly a DIY ice cream

Lunch at Agrobazaar

So much was reported in the papers and TV about this Agrobazaar that was officially opened by the both Singapore and Malaysian Prime Ministers, of course we had to check it out.

More photos on my Singapore blog.

We ordered the seabass set for two.

The set comes with juice of the day - it was starfruit juice, I dont really like starfruit but my friend loves it so much.

The sea bass was cooked with sweet, sour and spicy sauce but dont find it spicy enough for our taste bud.

Red curry with crispy chicken cutlet with fruit of the day (it was pineapple that day).

Stir Fried Kampong Vegetables (assorted vegetables)

Deep fried banana fritters

Steamed white rice with sambal chilli

Lunch at Old Airport Road Hawker Centre

Old Airport Road Food Centre is one of the best hawker centre/food centre in Singapore. If you are unsure which stall served the best food, just look out for the one with long queue during lunch time or dinner time, hahaha. But not to worry if you do not want to queue, most of the stalls sell very good food.

I wont get bored coming here often for my meals, just too many stalls serving good food will tempt me coming here frequently.

Popiah (a kind of soft, thin paper-like crepe, spread with a sweet sauce and/or chilli with fillings of vegetables, eggs shreds, lots of grounded peanuts, grated turnips, etc.) - S$1.50 each.

Famous Fried Char Kway Teow - $5 each - stall is Lao Fu Zhi - very delicious kway teow not oily.

Freshly hand made Chee Cheong Fun - one roll with prawn ingredient, the other is with pig's liver - $2 per roll

Lao Fu Zhi Fried Char Kway Teow - look at the long queue - gotta queue about 20 to 30 mins.

This famous Lor Mee Stall is so popular that they sold out the Lor Mee in no time - sigh, never get to try each time I visited this food centre, must try during my next visit.
