Piggypuggy, when I saw the 1.20 beehoon n porridge, I felt so proud of the owners still delivering such pricing. A way to serve the lesser community and people who needs to fill the stomach. Well done Uncles and Aunties!
Love the Caribbean/bluegrass sound track rolling over the visual story telling, Piggy. Similarly, your occasional text commentary is a wonderful counter point to the clatter and chatter of the live sound recording. Champagne journalism. Champagne journalism.
Thank you Mark 😄 it sounds way better than my slurping for sure. I found many speaking Cantonese there.. brings me back to the 70s market scenes where there’s always a Cantonese corner and Teochew corner. And some of these hawkers used to be at the streets right across the building. The lady was telling me she had been patronising the bee Hoon stall since their days by the street. Which was till 1981-2
Whenever I’m back from the US, I always stop by China Town Hawker Center… cos that’s where I could find all those old school delicacies 😊 Thank you again for showing us more delicious and amazing food!!! To be frank, I have to get my mom to send me some Singapore coffee as it just taste so much better than having Starbucks in my office everyday ❤
Oh gosh.. Starbucks.. and at such a price.. not SGD$1.30 😂 These days can vacuum pack it into small weekly packs. No prob w US customs for packed food items right? Ever shipped Bak kwa vacuum packed? 😄 or Bak Huu for porridge? The coffee grinder is a China brand. Flying eagle. Prob can get from Taobao.
Try buying Owl brand 3-in-1 or 2-in-1 Kopi-O coffee sachets. They are convenient packs of pre-mix coffee that’s closest in taste to the coffee made in SG coffee shops.
Ive had yong tau fu at the xiu ji ikan bilis one for breakfast a few times. So cool to watch the sun rise over the shophouses and skyscrapers while sipping a kopi siew dai
Love watching your videos. We're coming over from New Zealand at the end of June, have a list of all the hawker centres and going to try to visit them all 🤩
theres so many unique stores in one place! i also ventured the back side of the hawker and saw another store selling rice cooked in bamboo shoots. i love it when theres so many "new" food to discover that i have never seen before in all my time in singapore
Just toooooo many good food stalls in this hawker. My favourite hawker centre. My usual first stop would be the Mong Kok Dim Sum stall to grab a queue number then proceed to buy and eat my food while waiting for their char siew baos LOL. Love that corner Hill Street fried kuey tiao. The uncle is so dedicated and he fried it plate by plate, hence the long queue but it's the type I love, not the wet kind. There are still many stalls I have not try there. That Bedok Chee kuih changed to the bigger size quite a long time already. Still attracts long queue at Bedok Interchange hawker.
Not many CKT places fry plate by plate already.. the other one is in Ghim Moh.. I think they wanna keep the cockles cooked just right.. I once chatted the Hokkien Mee guy who fries 30 plates at a go.. he also said there’s definitely a difference between the first and the last serving even tho it’s just seconds apart. But he said no choice. Cannot keep up with demand. I think the Bedok Chwee kueh might have changed wverywheee coz the keuh comes from a central kitchen. Now so ex. 1 for $1.20. I like missed that Mong Kok dim sum when I was there.. alamak.
If I ever won the lottery and moved to Singapore, my apartment would be in one of the blocks upstairs from CTC. 😆😋 I think there used to be another wa kueh stall in Maxwell a few years ago? I didn't notice this one before.
Yes, in 1960 time, l saw one aunty age around 60 plus push her cart with plenty foods, she prepare and push around the street, at palembang Road, now the area became beach road HDB flat,
The sachima you buy commerically made has a strong oily smell i really miss the fresh ones you can buy overseas sadly in Australia i havent found one that doesnt have that oily stale smell
Yeah.. those packet ones will always have some degree of oily smell.. It’s a pretty intensive process.. 4hrs per batch.. I’ve made an entire video on it years back. Even in Singapore.. this will be the last that we see.
Nice woman didn't get scared away by the kopi auntie lol. This is always the ultimate hawker centre IMHO, not only the huge variety, I still haven't eaten anything that doesn't taste good to me here.
Best claypot rice is here. But the real question to ask is; Is there a Canadatown in Canada? Any plans to do a "Best Chicken Rice in SG?" video? My vote goes to Loy Kee Chicken Rice in Novena. On Balestier Road, next to Shaw Plaza. Be sure to order the roast pork! Tell them Knighty sent you, should be good for at least 15% off 🤣. I lived right behind Loy Kee.
There is another one in Maxwell Hawker Centre. Originally from Amoy Street, this genial hawker has aged with his Wah kueh from a young man to a bent elderly gentleman. I never fail to patronise him whenever I go to this food court.
Steady lah Piggy puggy , u visited the mother of all Hawkers Centres n many of my favourite r there. Eat to yr heart content with yr 2 stomachs just like a happy cow! HahaHa! Yiayou king!
If you do not eat in hawker centers, you will find difficult to absorb the "street culture". If you have been dining in restaurants and expect the same serving standards hawker centers, you are comparing apples to oranges. There is no comparison. Change your mindset and live in the streets for a while if you value the street food. You do not get the authentic tastes in the restaurants - even though the Micheli Award is there. Authentic and original tastes are only found in the street food. Flavour that has been passed down by generations.
This Weng Kiang Kee porridge is legit good …. but if I’m very hungry I won’t want to quene 40 min. I personally prefer the Chef Leung CCF (hk style milled ccf) a few stalls down Mongkok dim sum for BF though …. You were early enough to dabao Fatty Ox as the beef brisket sells out fast
Is that right?? Almost everyone was lining up for that brisket noodles. Including workers there who are willing to fork out $6 for a plate. As for Weng Kiang.. I see many ah peks reading newspaper sipping Kopi while waiting for their porridge. Not bad huh. Only 5years into the trade. I wonder if I’ve missed some stalls like Chef Leung you mentioned
@@Piggypuggy the owner was a ex hotel chef … so far the quality of his porridge is consistent whenever I have it. I like that this stall is located at the quieter corner which is less stuffy. Like u said, Chinatown complex is huge, I think there are 3 CCF stall in this FC …. 3 or more chicken rice ……
This Pigu young man always hide his face when eating or when revewing food stall. I have some food review by our local previously and the review was done really decent with full face shown in the youtube video. Oh and previously there was a small incident, a complain by an elder customer telling our Pigu young man do not obstruct customer ordering food during the morning peak hours...lol 🤣 Finally lots of YT ads at his many Piggypuggy youtube food review and it is quite irritating .Also it shows how desperate our young man is.😁
Beware of Maria Virgin aunties as their price of whole chicken varies all the time. I can go one day get a whole chicken at $18 and the next week at $20. They’ll come up with lots of excuse like small chicken sold out left big chicken blah blah. Listing price u see might not be the price u r gonna pay.
Is all the food video showing being organic food? Are the video encouraging people to eat organic food? Based on the price of organic ingredient, the organic food is tasteless and not much sweetness and flavor. Should use more approved industrial food chemical to enhance the taste and flavor of organic food. Can eat more things into the body.
Hi Uncle, my mum and I always bring our own stainless steel fork & spoon, and wooden chopsticks to hawker centres. I know it sounds silly but we hate eating with plastic utensils or ridiculous biodegradable utensils.
碗糕 my childhood treat. Been looking for one for very very long time. So happy to see it in your video. Will make my way there asap… THANK YOU ❤

That scoop of garlic was powerful 😅

Lasr time we were there was in 2019. I missed the food!!!!!!!
Sak Kei Ma....Hmmm never seen this before
Gotta bookmark this place for my next visit. 😍
Here’s where you’ll see some of the older hawkers from the streets of Chinatown
Nice woman didn't get scared away by the kopi auntie lol. This is always the ultimate hawker centre IMHO, not only the huge variety, I still haven't eaten anything that doesn't taste good to me here.
Haha.. I was jolted by her hailing thunderous voice too.. haven’t seen a person talk so loud in a long while
😄😄😄 and to what that man said "In local, we call that Kopi-O-Kosong"😋😜

visited several times and always got lost, mostly to buy Jade and amulets
😄 I wonder if those shops are still around.
Didn’t realised Chinatown hawker is the largest of them all…
I think 260 stalls in all. By far the biggest
35:15 this is me when my first time come to SG leh🤣
