What I ate :
First, some updates. This hawker centre was closed for more than 3 months for renovation works and recently reopened. There are some stalls that are still banging in their sign boards, and some still closed, but mainly, most are open for business. I think most of the old timers are back. The Michelin-starred soya sauce chicken stall is there, long queues and all, but now at 2 p.m., it is still serving the chicken, which in the old days before reno, the chicken is sold out by 1 p.m. I will have to try it another day.
I tried out a Hainanese chicken rice stall. It is good but not as good as those I tried at Bedok or Maxwell.
The popiah at Ann Chin Popiah is good, pretty garlicky and crunchy, with a light and not too sweet sauce. You can taste freshness in the vegetables.
A dessert of black sesame and peanut paste was next (the owner said we are allowed to choose 4 types of sweet desserts in the bowl). Brings back memories of those old hawkers who goes around the neighbourhood in pushcarts selling their stuff. Ah, the stall name again.
Finally, a stall I can named. The Old Amoy Chendol stall is back at the centre. And it is still as good as before. The coconut milk, with a hint of saltiness, the pandan jelly's smooth texture, the adzuki beans, and the palm sugar syrup all come together to make a smooth tasting dessert. And still at only $2.
