Tiong Bahru Market Raw Fish

Yum in my tum, woke up one morning starving from I guess too much beer and an empty stomach from the evening before. Decided to head to Tiong Bahru to do some marketing for my bbq so I ended up eating some nice raw fish. I didn't want to eat too much because I wanted to save my stomach for the heaps of food I would have for dinner.


The fish was nice, firm and sweet; perfect mixture of the sauce and nice amounts of garnishing. Love it! Simple and clean tastes.

Is it really all that, so much so that they have a long long queue and the aunty scolds you... yes yes yes it's another food nazi ... rude owner/waitress/ah-hoon!

Well ... it is all that ... don't miss out ... by far the best I've tried in Singapore ... they don't put the pepper until it kills the sweetness of the crab meat.... dun some of these folks get it ... too much black pepper makes the sauce bitter .... these people at Eng Seng, brilliant, as they use a bit of honey to accompany the black pepper, giving the sauce a tint of sweetness ... not overpowering anything though ... the perfect balance I must say.

My advice to you is to either call first or go early and wait for a table ... like I mean the kiasu type of early ... by the way they only open at 5. Dun bother going at 7pm cause they might not have any crabs left.

Try the mee goreng as well ... dun bother with the malaysian hookien mee ... not nice anymore.

Hong Lim Market

Yummy ... I always love a trip over to Hong Lim Market with all it's great food stalls!

Two of my favorites is AH KOW MUSHROOM MINCED PORK MEE and THE OLD STALL...

Well Ah Kow, I guess I don't have to explain too much of what they serve, as it's pretty clear they serve Minced Pork Mee otherwise known as Bak Chor Mee ... the queue during heavy traffic hours is madness!

Ah Kow's address #02-43 Hong Lim Market & Food Centre, 9am - 6pm daily

The Old Stall has my favorite prawn / pork rib noodle! It's located at #02-68, delicious fragrant soup, It is the Hokkien Street Famous Hokkien Prawn Noodles! You must have some! Time: 0900 - 1800, Off on Thu

Apparently there's a pretty decent fish porridge place there also, it's called Ying Mun and it's on the 2nd floor of hong lim somewhere around where Ah Kow is I think. Sumdumful will get back to you one day with the stall number and opening hours!
