Hey guys, it's me again..

There are 3 type of food that cannot be eaten that I experience in SG while working here, it's just damn yucky:-

1) Chau Kuew Tiew (Why so sweet??.. put sugar ah to fry ah?)
2) 酸甘汁 aka lemon+plum drink - walao, it is too sour+abit of bitter! Cant compare to Malaysia's style
3) Tomyam - real yucky (Tomyam in SG is the worst).. Apparently, every hawker serve the same yucky tomyam.

BUT SG do serve good BKT and Kuey Chap (cannot be found in KL).

Just wanna share my experience b4 I go to bed. Bye.

Have you tried the bak kut teh in Balestier ? I think it really taste more like pepper soup. Any bak kut teh shop in Jb taste better than that. But still i go back there hahaha. Also have u notice the hawkers here like to put a lot of black sauce . I notice they have alot of that sweet black sauce in to their chay koay teow . I dont think it even looked right to begin with.

If not wrong ATM withdrawal overseas is either $3 or $5. No need to activate anything. Conversion rate follow bank's rate la... (which is as u know not that fantastic)

If want good tomyam soup then go Golden Mile lo. BTW, BKT in SG sucks big time la. Also the Hokkien Mee, cannot make it 1.

SG local food (excl. western food or japs food) mostly 有型无味, ade outlook, xde taste.

Some of them put sweet sauce in their CKT which sucks big time.

I donno the sour plum drink coz i dont order it.

Thats coz they all get it from the same supplier. You want nice tom yam, goto a proper thai restaurant. and dont expect the superhot tomyam in kl made with chili paid. The singaporean pu$$y palate cant take it.

I for one prefer the clear and super pepper BKT compared to malaysias darker cousin. One thing singapore has which malaysia doesnt is kuey chap and a stall near mine has an excellent stall for kuey chap.

i agree with this... those CKT is sweet is because they add tomato ketchup on it la. u can try to see they will pour some ketchup in when they fry, normally will mix with water.

Wanton Noodle in Singapore is the most awful I have ever tasted. It's beyond my comprehension when I see people queuing to place order. The pungent smell....like detergent or a bleach agent.

I have not found an edible chee cheong fun in Singapore yet. Not counting the HK cheong fun at Crystal Jade, Imperial Treasure etc.

Dont expect good or even decent hawker food, its usually far or obscure. At least their western offerings is better, skinny pizza and handburger comes to mind for decent eats.

Do you notice?

mee soto at NSHW RM$3.00~RM$3.50.
mee soto at SG hawker S$2.50~S$3.

rental in SG 4~5 figure S$
rental in MY 3~4 figure RM$

1st priority for SG hawker is to survive. That include reduce cost, shorten cooking time, increase sales volume etc.

Looks like they dont know the concept of prospering with their product. They might as well follow the china route and make counterfeit food products to be more profitable, dont mentioned that their food is any good.
