Till We Meet Again 6 Mths later...Kovan Hawker Centre

Kovan market food centre has been around for decades and the last time after it was being renovated, many favourite food stall can't be found. A shocking piece of news came when we heard that it will be under going a major renovation for at least 6 months. Today is the last operation day for all market & hawker stall vendors.
Its been my hotspot for the last few days where i managed to eat and snap pictures of some of the favourite and delicious food I can find here.

Always super long Q at this stall but its all worth it. The lady boss uses special recipe for the noodles where she add eggs to it. Oh...she was even featured on newspaper.

Yong tau foo soup stall since childhood dayz....

A1 Western Delights....their black pepper chickeb chop is popular with the crowd. Another well like dish is their rice set with fried chicken where they uses chicken rice instead of plain rice.

Ooh...my favourite Hougang Chicken Rice.

They oso haf Char Siew Rice where their sauce are slightly sweeter. Goes great with the rice and meat. Yummy....

Jin Soon Vegetarian, the onli vegetarian stall in the whole hawker centre which has been around for decades. I grow up eating their vegetarian bee hoon. haha....

A delightful breakfast choice of Sims Chwee Kueh and a super thick kopi C from the corner coffee stall nearest to Sims chwee kueh.

The famous Ponggol Noodles. A relatively new tenant at tis hawker centre. However, with its potential springy noodles and a wide variety of side dishes, it attracted a large crowd within a small period of time.

Selegie Tau Huay....Even though its a franchaise with different outlets islandwide, I still can't resist its smooth & silky temptation. The only weakness is the the staff is super attitude.

The best Jian Dui I even eaten. Crispy outside, fillings with smooth and not too sweet lotus paste. Ideal for someone who dun haf a sweet tooth. Taste superb even when its cold.

Fried carrot cake.

Mee Rebus from Hajjah Yam muslim Food @ unit 01-54.
There are 2 muslim food stalls side by side which always drew crowds and long q especially during lunch hours. 1stly the prices are reasonable, 2nd they are the onli 2 muslim food stalls in the whole hawker centre.
Oh well, different stall has different specialities....
Best malay mee siam which I've come across. I'm not a fan of malay mee siam due to the nutty texture and smell. However, mee siam from tis typical stall doesn't gave me this problem and the vendor even add dried shrimp flakes to the dish.

Popular Nasi Padang from the malay stall next to it. They always haf a wide variety of dishes to choose from.

A favourite childhood noodle dish of mine~mee siam. I started eating this chinese style old skool mee siam since i was a child and it was from the stall where i had my very 1st mee siam of my life (",)

Another super popular stall from Bedok Cooked Food. They sell fantastic roasted duck, char siew and roasted pork. Juz by looking at the stall overview makes mi drool, let alone waiting patiently Q up for the food. Dun believe mi?...............

Now u believe?! Crispy skin, sofe tender duck breast meat, soft fluffy steamed white rice with the full of flavour sauce. ooh....I'm dying to eat it again!

I started patronising tis dessert stall since young when they were still selling the desserts at $0.60. Now, it ranges from $1.20 up. Wei Cheng @ unit #01-49.

Mum's all time favourite~Ice kacang, and my all time favourite~Iced chng tng.

See, all the ingredients a traditional cheng tng ought to haf.

Shan Ji Yin Pin~tis stall has been around for ages and they are famous for their bird's nest drink. Other than bird'nest drink, they oso have grass jelly drink and soy bean milk. During tis bad economy, where to find a drink which cost $0.30?! Even pasar malam is selling at $0.80.
The owner of the stall is a very helpful and friendly couple who loves chatting with all their customer.

Wow...I'm thirsty.

See, reali super big packet.
Oh, with all these lovely delicious food, I onli hope that when the hawker centre re-open in November, I will still be able to savour these favourite food of mine....Bye & till we meet again.
