I went to 2 hawker centres in Queenstown area today.
The first was the Tanglin Halt Market. The market has an unique curve roof in the cooked food section with nice upturn lights. The cooked food section was not that big but many of the stalls were opened. There was a queue formed at the Sa La Yi Wei, 沙辣一唯，a local laksa stall. I ordered the prawn, chicken, bean curd with white mee hoon which cost $4. The verdict: The white mee hoon seemed to be undercooked and it was not as soft as an average laksa stall. The laksa gravy was thick and good taste but the portion was not substantial. The rest of the ingredients were normal. Would I queue again for the laksa? Unlikely. I may consider if there was no queue. The menu was stated in partially in Japanese. I suppose this must be recommended in Japanese tour guide.
The second hawker centre was nearby at Commonwealth Crescent Market and Food Centre. The location of the hawker centre was quite obscure and within an old housing estate. I first tried the cheng teng at 喜乐亭 which had added special ingredient at $0.90. Bedok Food Centre had similar cheng teng although it was selling at $1.80 with slightly larger portion.
I was pleasantly surprised to find a nice wan tan noodle stall 云记。The noodle was selling at $2.50 but the portion of noodle was big in consideration of the price. The cha siew pork was served in large quantity and the wan tan was also nice. The noodle is best eaten without chilli in my opinion. I was happy to find this cheap and good stall. The stall offers other noodle and rice too. There was no queue. Would I queue for this wan tan noodle? Definetly.
