2994 This is the Maxwell Hawker Center. It’s open at both ends and the two rows of ceiling fans keep things very comfortable inside.
3000 The vegetable stand. This lady makes the most delicious eggplant I have ever eaten and I grew up hating eggplant. I know it was stir-fried in garlic and sesame oil but there were other flavors as well. It was great! The Chinese broccoli and green beans were also very good.
2993 This dim sum booth had the best cha shu bow I’ve ever had.
2998 I’ve got to look up what makes Hainanese chicken different. Unfortunately, the roast pork and cha shu looked so good I had to order it. I was not disappointed. He asked if I liked it hot and when I said yes he pointed to a container of orange colored oil with little bits of chopped peppers. I took some and put it on the side of the plate. He was right, it was hot but it was also very tasty. I should have gone back for more.
2999 As you can see the Fired Sweet Potato Dumpling stand is doing a brisk business and little wonder. In the rear of the small space grandma was making the dumplings by hand just before her daughter put them in the hot oil. When they rose to the top and were golden brown she used a round strainer on a handle to flick them onto the drain bin. She had vegetable, sweet potato, coconut, peanut, red bean and bean paste dumplings. We had all of them but the bean paste and red bean. I was getting too full by the time desert came around.
I actually feel a little sorry for anyone who goes to Singapore and doesn’t get at least one meal of hawker food. It’s inexpensive, fresh and delicious.
