• Address: Old Airport Road Food Centre, 51 Old Airport Road, #01-27, S 390051

Having thoughts of Western food here, but there are quite a few Western Food stalls in Old Airport Road Food Centre, and I had Western Barbeque in this food centre before, and one that caught my attention this time was Holy Grill Authentic Western Cuisine from its brightly coloured signboard.

The meal was $6.50 and it was pretty good value for money.

You can also pick your own side dishes. There are both fresh and hot selections like pasta salad, potato salad, baked potato, mashed potato, corn, rice, fries etc.

Quite a few reviews displayed on at their stall.

I had a grilled chicken chop that came with 2 sides, I chose baked beans and french fries. Enough to fill a grown adult stomach. The fries was an excellent choice, it was quite crispy. 

The grilled chicken chop comes with a satisfactory portion that is worth the price. Grilled and charred, the meat was tender and fleshy.

The chicken chop was a bit burnt at the bottom giving it a slightly overcooked taste. But the gravy was really good and it covers up the slightly burnt chicken chop taste.

Although pricier than its Hawker counterparts, you get a huge piece of chicken and pretty generous portions of sides. Holy Grill certainly has an outstanding grilled chicken chop. I have yet to try their other dishes, which I will return for. It was a very good dinner.

Yi Ji Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee 義記福建炒蝦麵 - Strong Fried Prawn Noodle competition at Old Airport Road

• Operating Hours: 5 PM to 3 AM
• Operating Days: Daily
• Address: 51 Old Airport Road, #01-99, S 390051
• Food I had: Hokkien Mee ($4)

Competition is pretty high for Hokkien Mee (Fried prawn noodle) at Old Airport road. Yi Ji is one of them in this food centre. It's located along the first row of stalls and just a few stalls away there is another similar stall named 億記福建炒蝦麵 which have the same pronunciation. Do take note the 義 and 億, as they have the same layout and design of the signboard.

The sambal chili "super spicy 超辣" as proclaimed on its signboard. We will try that out later.

Their Hokkien mee was slightly drier with little broth compared to what we usually have in any other fried Hokkien mee stall. Another major difference - there was no pork lard found in this plate of Hokkien Mee, so will it taste good? 

Both yellow noodle and white bee hoon match pretty well. I personally like the noodles not too soupy or soggy and the gravy was just sufficient to give the noodles its flavor instead of overpowering it.

Their proclaimed chili goes really well with the noodles but I suggest to eat a few times before stopping as it overwhelmed the taste of the noodles.

Will I return? Old Airport road food centre really has quite a few of Hokkien Mee stall to try. So after all those reviews then I will see if this is better than others.

Western Barbeque - Old school Chinese hawker style Chicken chop

• Operating Hours: 11 AM - 11 PM
• Operating Days: Daily
• Address: Old Airport Road Food Centre, 51 Old Airport Road #01-53, S 390051

Old Airport Road Food Centre is one of Singapore’s largest hawker centers. With its long history about 40 years old, no surprise that this popular food center houses several famous hawker legends. One of the most popular Western stalls at Old Airport Road is the one known simply as Western Barbecue.

Besides chicken chop, they have other grilled meats such as pork chop and beef steak. 

The beans were alright while the fries were fried perfectly crispy.

The bun is served evenly buttered, I love their old school soft and fluffy butter bread although it was not made by themselves. We don't get to see western food offered this kind of bread anymore. 

The meats are grilled to a slight char to bring out the smoky smell. Each bite of the chicken chop was tender. But I didn't find anything particularly special about the meat, the chicken chop is juicy but it only has a slight hint of bbq-ness and not much seasoning taste.

After I had this chicken chop, I heard from others we should have it topped with Garlic sauce that will make it wonderful, I will be back to ask for that.
