Pasir Panjang Food Center Chicken Rice, Thai Food, Sambal Stingray and more

In this blog post, I feature some food from the Pasir Panjang Food Center, which is a mid-sized food center located right beside the Pasir Pajang MRT station.  This place reminds me of Newton Food Center, except that the prices here are definitely cheaper.

Sambal Stingray
This place is well known for grilled BBQ style seafood.  We came here once to get BBQ Sambal Stingray, to bring back home.  Here is what it looked like.  This serving for $10.  This place is crowded during weekend evenings, as you can see in the video below.  This section of the food center is open air.  There were a few stalls to choose from.  We picked one randomly.


Thai Food - Tom Yum, Pad Thai
On another day, we tried this Thai food store, which had many different choices of Thai food to choose from.  We took a $8 Tom Yum seafood soup, which came with plenty of seafood, as well as a Pad Thai, all to share.  Taste was very good indeed!


Hainanese Chicken Rice
On another day, we dropped by during lunch hour for some food.  This time, I tried this Hainanese Chicken rice store, which I think is only open during lunch hours.  I chose the Chicken Rice set and this was what I got.  A decent sized portion of tender white chicken meat, an entire hard-boiled egg, a good serving of boiled vegetables and chicken rice.  All this for $4.  Very good deal!


Prawn and Pork Rib Noodles
Tried the prawn noodles one later afternoon as I was feeling hungry and there weren't that many stores opened.  Turned out that the noodles weren't great.  It was just ok.  So now you know.


Char Kway Teow with Plenty of Vegetables
This store featured a rather unique type of Char Kway Teow, one that is served with plenty of vegetables.  There were many news paper cuttings in front of the store, so many until I can hardly see the uncle frying.  Decided to give it a try.  It tasted really good!  I wouldn't mind eating it again.  Definitely recommended.  The portion I got was $3.   You can always buy a bigger portion if this wasn't sufficient.


Thai-Style Steam Fish, Green Curry and Fried Kang Kong!
There are at least 2 different stores selling Thai food. We tend to dine at this Thai store (which is run by 2 men), on the sheltered side of the hawker center. Today, we had Thai-style steam fish, with fried kang kong and green curry. Very awesome!

 

Thai-Style Food - 4 Dishes for $21, including rice. 
On another day, we had Tom Yum soup, Fried Kang Kong, Fried Egg and Pandan Chicken, for $21 including two plates of rice.  So much to eat and so delicious!


Care for a mini hot-pot? This serving for $5. Look at all the delicious food, plus a generous portion of white rice. Wonderful meal and very delicious. There were three types of broth - chicken, tom yum and milk. Chose the chicken broth as it was the the most neutral. Plenty of flavour from the chilli. Got a coconut to go along with the meal too. Good!

 

Some Phad Thai? Quick and easy meal. $4 for this serving and piping hot!

Bukit Batok Coffee Shop Po Piah, Chicken Rice (halal), West Mall videos

This Po Piah store is at a coffee shop near the Bukit Batok Bus Interchange.  Plenty of good food in Singapore and this humble coffee shop is no exception.  Instead of dining at the West Mall food court (which is air-conditioned), I prefer to come here for a more rustic feel and of course, cheaper prices!

The Po Piah store is very popular. It is a one-woman show and the aunty works very hard to make po piahs that are delightfully crunchy and tasty.  Wonderful and healthy snack, to go with a hot or cold drink.



Sitting down at a table, waiting for my popiah order, watching the world go by.  There was this tall Caucasian lady who ordered 4 rolls of popiah.  Each popiah is hand-made, so we have to wait a bit when there are crowds.  

In the same coffee shop, there is a halal chicken rice store.  I have tried it once and the taste is pretty good.  I would eat there again if I wanted a heavier meal.  Yummy chicken rice!


The same coffeeshop, this time I tried the won-ton noodles. Nothing much to shout about, just mediocre. Not really recommended.

Here are some videos I made of West Mall (located right beside the Bukit Batok MRT station). In this video, I walk around West Mall.

Another video of walking around, this time I go outside to the main roads.

Looking at the exhibition in West Mall. Thanks for watching my videos!
