TIONG BAHRU MARKET
"Start wherever you are and start small" - Rita Bailey
What a very apt way to start sharing my blog with everyone with a post on a place that closely relates to me. This place is none other than Tiong Bahru Market, a venue where I get my Sunday breakfast meals without fail almost every week. This time round, with my mind set on doing up this blog, I decided to gather with some of my friends, some of whom I haven't met in awhile, to try out the good food at Tiong Bahru Market.
How to get there:
Tiong Bahru Market
83 Seng Poh Road
2nd Level
Being in a stay out unit in NS does serve me some good benefits. But, it also means that I get to reach Tiong Bahru Market with my friends at only around 7.30pm. Many of the good food stalls that I know about are already closed but most of it are actually still open! Even up till a late hour of 9pm, these stalls are still going strong and whipping up their fresh dishes to their loyal customers. Amongst them, the Chwee Kueh, Fried Oyster Stall and Teochew Fishball Noodle stalls have the recognition of being the latest night owls.
This is hugely important especially for a place like Singapore.
Where do you actually go to get cheap but at the same time, delicious food after working till such a late hour? What I'm going to list below, are the answers to that question for Tiong Bahru Market.
Operating Hours:
8am-Around 10pm
Honourable Mentions:
#02-05 Jian Bo Shui Kueh:
#02-13: Teochew Fishball Noodle Dry/Soup:
The handmade fishballs and soup base make the noodles great. Even without them, the noodle can hold its own.
#02-15: Tian Tian Yuan Dessert House
Refreshing dessert that can top off a meal here.
Trust me. This stall serves up good Chee Cheong Fan. But forget that. The star of this stall is that oyster omelette. It gives a good amount of juicy oysters and probably the best sour and spicy sauce. What is important for an oyster omelette dish is the sauce and this sauce nails it.
#02-74: Hwa Yuen Porridge:
Looking for a healthy quick main meal? The tasty Hwa Yuen porridge should be a good pick for you.
Some of the stalls that are highly recommended to be tried, but were not open when I was there are the following:
#02-06: Tau Kwar Pok Stall
A huge must try. Unhealthy but its sauce just makes you addicted to it.
#02-18: Tiong Bahru Pau
A regular snack at a very cheap rate here in Tiong Bahru Market.
#02-25: HarriAnn's Delights
My uncle's personal favourite. It does serve up decent glutinous rice and other pastries.
#02-29: Koh Brother's Pig Organ Soup
Decent broth. Popular amongst the crowd.
#02-31: Min Nan Prawn Mee
Much hardwork and determination from the chef brought his stall back from the dead. Going through the programme hosted by Quan YiFeng and Zhong Qin on Channel 8, this chef underwent serious training and pressure to prove his doubters wrong by making prawn mee that have a great soup base and fresh prawns and pork.
#02-43: Kway Chap
Look out for the stall with a female aunty making kway chap. She's the real deal concocting those soupy delicious kway chap.
I believe most of you love the famous LaoBan beancurd that is found in Old Airport Road and sub branches like Tampines MRT. Do you know that they are actually not the traditional beancurds and are being made and processed in a different way? Personally, having a nice cup of soyabean and a hot traditional beancurd is much more refreshing and more of the real deal. Foodies looking for a good traditional beancurd should come here to have a taste of it.
#02-82: Tiong Bahru Hainanese Boneless Chicken Rice:
The queue at this stall on a weekend is so frustrating. The reason why is straightforward. The chicken rice served is excellent!
You're definitely spoilt for choice at Tiong Bahru Market. Tiong Bahru is diverse and also offers up many cafes and restaurants to explore. A great place for foodies and travellers to be in.
So what's your favourite dish in Tiong Bahru Market?
