Leong Kee 梁記 is one of the very few Bak Kut Teh places in Singapore that serve Klang style Bak Kut Teh in Singapore.

Unlike any other Bak Kut Teh stalls, this is the place to come whenever you feel like having something less spicy or less peppery Bak Kut Teh.

Not a lot of choices for side dishes, they only have the egg, salted vegetable, stewed peanuts, tau pok and you tiao. The prices are quite cheap, most of the side dishes cost less than one dollar. We ordered a bowl of Bak Kut Teh, fried prawn paste chicken wing with 2 bowls of rice, it cost a total of $14.

After you have ordered and paid, you can find seats either outdoor or indoor seats just next door.

All the orders came in under 5 minutes of waiting.

The crispy batter gave that crunchy bite into the fried chicken wing, and the fermented prawn paste flavour was a bit bland to me. I had better ones but at a dollar a piece, this was really good value considering the quality! 

The Bak Kut Teh was served on a steaming hot claypot. There is a large portion of beancurd skin inside the soup along with a generous portion of pork ribs. 

The soup has the herbally taste, but I felt that the broth was a bit thin and light, not as strong as what I had in Malaysia. 

The pork ribs in the claypot portions are fairly satisfying. They were also quite generous with the meat and they are tender and soft that you can tear it off the bones easily.

Of course, there are better Klang Bak Kut Teh in Malaysia, but this is one of the few Klang style Bak Kut Teh in Singapore, it was affordable and filling. If you are craving Malaysian style Hawker food without crossing the custom, this is one of the places to visit.

Lin Yu Mei Sarawak Laksa & Kolo Mee 林玉梅砂越干捞面 - Simple yet full of taste!

It was a lazy Sunday evening and after watching NOC's latest FoodKing episode, we decided immediately that we have to try this Sarawak Kolo noodles. 

It was not hard to locate 林玉梅's Sarawak Kolo noodles. They have only two choices - Laksa Sarawak and Sarawak Kolo Noodle.

We were lucky to have reached 7 PM+, and there weren't any long queues seen. 

We decided to try for their signature kolo noodle as highly raved Food-King Good! by NOC (can you spot their decal on the stall?) 

The cooking portion was pretty fast and straight forward - noodle was cooked in boiling water before running through the noodles in the room temperature water. Before serving, the stall owner mixes oil from onion and lard, light soy sauce, and chili in the bowl before placing the noodle in. It was then topped up with minced pork, char siew, spring onion and bawang goreng (fried onion) before it was served.

This is the portion for $4.

The almost colorless noodle was pale looking, but it was definitely not "pale" tasting! The Maggie Mee look alike noodles were actually very tasty and springy! Very well mixed with the ingredients, the taste of the Sarawak kolo noodle served at this stall was simply incredible. It was flavourful yet not overwhelming, every bite taken from the bowl of noodle seemed to make you want to continue eating. The chili, however, can be quite spicy so do take note to inform stall owner to place them in a saucer for you if you are unsure of the right amount to take.

We weren't served with free flow of pork lard as mentioned in NOC's video, however, we felt that the flavors in the bowl were enough for us. We felt that the texture of the char siew however, can be improved (I'm not a fan of dry Char siew). Other than that, we have no further complaints on this bowl of noodle.

林玉梅's Sarawak Kolo Noodles is definitely a must try if you are around that area. It is not uncommon to see patrons returning to take away a few packets of noodle home even after they have finished eating their share. Definitely a returning customer!

Bali Nasi Lemak Fast Food Shop 峇厘椰子飯快餐店 - Black honey Chicken Wing is the best!

• Operating Hours: 5 PM to 4 AM
• Operating Days: Closed on alternate Sundays
• Address: 2 Geylang Lorong 15, Singapore 388596
• Food I had: Nasi Lemak ($5)

Stumbled upon this stall on one of my night food hunting. It is hidden in Geylang Lorong 15 but easy to find as they have clear signage with bright lights. 

The setting was typical Kopitiam settings, but I've noticed that they do not warm their food displayed, I did not feel any heat of the food around me at all. But the food does not look like they were left for a long time.

The rice was fragrant, boasted a coconut aroma, and the texture of the rice is very consistent on every bite, but this is not the best I have tasted. Sambal chili was the sweeter version which I preferred with Nasi Lemak but I find it a bit bitter. 

The fried egg, fried luncheon meat, and cooked lettuce were cold which a bit spoil the overall score of this Nasi Lemak.

Their signature item is the Black Honey Chicken. Well marinated and thickly coated with honey. Black Honey chicken is deep fried chicken coated with a sweet sauce. The skin was still crisp despite the sweet sauce coating and the nicely caramelized texture was not overly sweet, and the meat within was nice and moist. It takes a great deep frying skill to achieve this.

Overall the dishes and rice were very nice to eat but would have been perfect if the food was warm, if you are there for supper, don't expect them to be hot unless they just cooked a new batch of rice or dishes.

Something very interesting facts to share
