2) Boon Tong Kee (Ang Mo Kio)
Boon Tong Kee in Ang Mo Kio isn't situated in the most convenient spot, but their chicken rice is quite decent. Personally, I tend to opt for the drumstick because I'm unsure if the breast meat will be tender. It varies from place to place; some prepare it well while others serve tough, undesirable chicken breast. Hence, I chose the safer option with the drumstick! Oh, and I tend to skip the skin too, haha. The meal wasn't bad. Additionally, I tried their braised egg. Although I heard they typically serve the rice in a pyramid shape, that wasn't the case here. Nevertheless, the rice was delightful. Overall, I'd rate their food as above average. 🐔🐔

3) Ang Mo Kio Char Kway Teow 宏茂桥鲜蛤果条
Ang Mo Kio Char Kway Teow 宏茂桥鲜蛤果条 garnered high rankings on www.singaporebestfood.com in 2017, affirming my choice to dine here. Additionally, it was featured on several prominent food bloggers' lists as a must-visit for Char Kway Teow enthusiasts. It's a refreshing change to savor hawker delicacies instead of opting for café fare. Singapore boasts a plethora of delicious and affordable hawker delights.
Anticipating my enjoyment, especially since I prefer my Hokkien mee to be moist, akin to this one which, though slightly more lubricated, maintains a non-clumpy texture with a visible oil coating. I particularly appreciate the generous inclusion of pork lard and cockles on this plate, leaving me thoroughly satisfied. Surely, I'll be dreaming about this indulgence later. 😄

During my first visit, I tried their Chashu ramen, a flavorful delight featuring three succulent pieces of chashu and a perfectly cooked egg. I also ordered a side of fresh salmon sashimi, my meal was nothing short of exquisite. The broth, with its exceptional richness, surpassed all expectations, leaving me craving more with each spoonful. The creamy, slightly runny yolk added depth to the already flavorful broth, while the ramen noodles boasted a satisfying springy texture that perfectly complemented the dish.
As for the salmon sashimi, each slice was a testament to freshness and quality, with a thickness that added an extra layer of satisfaction to my dining experience. 🤩

6) Broadway Claypot Rice (百樂匯砂煲飯)
Broadway Claypot Rice (百樂匯砂煲飯) is located in the heartlands of Ang Mo Kio. They have been around for more than 30 days. The restaurant was relatively small, offering limited indoor and outdoor seating. There was a considerable wait for a table, as many people eagerly anticipated their turn. The claypot dish itself was already garnished with dark soy sauce and adorned with morsels of dried salted fish, along with generous portions of chicken and Chinese sausages.
One of the highlights of this claypot dish is the perfectly cooked rice. It is neither too dry nor too mushy, striking the ideal balance between moisture and texture.
Moreover, for those who relish the joy of scraping off the crispy and charred rice from the sides and bottom of the claypot, this dish provides an added layer of gratification. The crispy bits, often called "guo ba" or "golden crust," offer a delightful contrast to the tender rice, adding a pleasant crunch and a slightly smoky taste.
In essence, it was a traditional and standard claypot rice offering.

7) Hong Kong Street Zhen Ji 香港街珍记
I will usually go for the usual hor fun or moonlight hor fun but since the San Lau Hor fun($6/$10/$15/$20) was the signature dish here at Hong Kong Street Zhen Ji 香港街珍记. I couldn't leave without trying this.
San Lau in Chinese means 三撈 and in English means three-tossed. The food being tossed here is the Hor fun, fish slices, and bean sprouts.
Despite this dish being quite light in color, this was pretty flavourful even without the absence of wok hei. I felt that the wok hei wasn't particularly prominent here. Hor fun was smooth and not clumpy though. The crunch from the generous amount of bean sprouts is fantastic! There were also a lot of fresh fish slices available. Another recommended food from this tze char stall is the XO fish head/fish meat bee hoon.

8) Shu Heng Bi Tai Mak 數興老鼠粉
I'm sure that eating Bak Chor mee with the typical noodles, kway teow, or bee hoon can get old. Shu Heng Bi Tai Mak is a hawker stall at Kebun Bahru Market and Hawker Centre that specializes in Bee Tai Mak, but you can also order noodles or kway teow. They're rather new, having launched in December of last year. Pork Leg Noodle ($5.50), Mushroom Pork Mince Noodle ($3/$4), Johor Bi Tai Mak ($3/$4), and Fishball Pork Mince Soup ($3/$4) are among the options on their menu.
I went with the best-selling Mushroom Minced Pork Noodles. It includes fish balls, fishcake, minced pork, and braised mushrooms. I was astonished at how much mushroom minced pork I received, and it was so delicious. The bee tai mak was already well-tossed in the sauce making every mouthful slurp-worthy.

9) AM:PM CAFE
Checking out AM:PM CAFE at Ang Mo Kio which serves Egglet Waffles! We tried the Salted Caramel x Chocolate soft serve 🍦 topped with gem biscuits, marshmallows, and popping pearls, and we opted for berries sauce as a dressing.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Egglet waffles, also recognized as ”eggettes“ or ”gai daan jai,“ are a famous street snack in Hong Kong. Their texture combines a crispy outer layer with a dense, chewy inside. I wished for a softer and fluffier texture.
The Salted Caramel x Chocolate soft serve offered a decadent chocolate taste complemented by sweet caramel notes. Overall, I found the combination of soft serve on egglet waffles quite delightful and Instagram-worthy.

10) Professor Brawn Cafe
Professor Brawn Cafe is a social enterprise by the Autism Resource Centre. They hire people with special needs and provide job and social integration opportunities to people with special needs. They have outlets at Enabling Village
(Redhill Outlet) and Pathlight School Campus 1 (Ang Mo Kio Outlet). I went to the AMK outlet which was huge and had a retail stall as well. They have a variety of western mains such as braised beef cheeks, grilled chicken, and bratwurst as well as pastas and breakfast sets.
I ordered the chicken carbonara, mushroom soup, and the Ribena freeze. The carbonara had prominent chunks of tender chicken with mushrooms in a pool of sauce with spaghetti. The sauce seems watery but doesn't lack in taste. I feel this was pretty nice without feeling overwhelming.
The soup and drink were part of the set at $5.50. The soup was earthy and creamy, and I also enjoyed the Ribena freeze a lot as it was my favorite drink.

11) Common Folks
Common Folks is a cafe nestled within The Grassroots Club, a location that brings back memories of studying at the nearby polytechnic. Their menu boasts a variety of offerings, including artisanal gelato, cakes, coffee, pastries, sandwiches, salads, and classic Western favorites.
During my visit, I opted for squid ink pasta, shoestring fries, and an iced honey lemon drink. The squid ink lent a bold black hue to the pasta, coating everything, including the mushrooms, in darkness. The pasta carried a subtle saltiness reminiscent of fried noodles. The fries stood out with their satisfying crunch and just the right amount of saltiness, remaining pleasantly crisp. However, the drink, served in a small cup, left much to be desired in terms of value.
Address: 190 Ang Mo Kio Ave 8, #01-01 The Grassroots' Club, Singapore 568046
Opening Hours: 11am - 10pm
