I finally had time to try this as the queue is always sooo long. Its one of the more popular stalls in this hawker center and boy is it worth the wait.
They serve mostly sliced fish in soup, noodles, porridge and any other combinations you can think off. I had the dried seafood noodles because its rather warm and I wouldn't want something hot in my tummy. After a 5 mins queue, I finally managed to order my noodles and it was ready in a quick 3 mins.
The seafood noodles ($3) was of very good value as its a pretty good portion with 2 fishballs, many slices of extremely fresh and 2 whole prawns, i must say slightly smaller than a medium sized prawn peeled and sweet. The noodles are well made to the right texture and chew factor, the fish balls were bouncy and yummy and the slices of fish, smooth, flavourful and extremely fresh. The prawns were a great value as they were pretty large for the price paid, sweet, fresh and easy to eat (peeled). The accompanied soup tasted flavourful and not salty at all but savoury and nice.
Its a healthy meal and super worth it. My choice of a breakfast or lunch meal. Its not easy to find fish soup that is $3 with so many slices of fresh good quality fish.
Situated about 5 mins short walk from the aljunied mrt station helmed by a good covered walkway, the sims vista market is a regular haunt for the residents around Sims Avenue.
I was surprised with the variety of cooked food and of course the super affordable pricing. Matter of fact, you can still find $1.50 mixed veg rice (Plate of rice with choice of 2 veg) at a very good portion, $2.50 Wanton Noodles (Noodles with dumpling) that tasted old skool and yummy as well as $0.35 a piece Yong Tau Foo that comes up to less then $3 for a bowl of 6 pieces with rice or noodles.
The variety of food offered is also quite a delight. You have all a good choice of famous fish soup which is super yummy, braised duck porridge, rice and kway chup, Putien fried longevity noodles, double boiled wrapped chicken, etc etc etc... Theres too many to choose from all most stalls are pretty yummy. There is also malay stalls that provides one of the most yummy nasi kandars, smashed chicken (ayam panyat) and other yummy malay cuisines.
Interesting finds at this hawker:
1) Bakeries - There are a few bakeries, one just for bread and other 2 provides items such as mooncakes, traditional chinese pastries, yummy egg tarts and other high tea must haves.
2) Do you know that the cheapest old school cobbler is here at one of the market stalls selling everything else. Will post a review soon. He charges $4 to change the heel pads of my pumps which wears out too often and does a rather quick and good job.
3) There is an NTUC sponsored mixed veg rice store here right at the other end of the market. It gives you a 10% discount your plate of nasi lemak or mixed veg rice when you flash your card. Interesting ain't it.
4) Really fun toy store at the market that sells really interesting toys and general stuffs. Its the owners of the stores that made the difference.
5) Expensive fruit stores - Its an irony that i find the fruits here expensive especially the store that is facing the service road. One time she wants to charge me $10 for 3 smaller than my palm custard apple. I WAS IN SHOCK TILL DATE.
Its a good eat here and lots to eat at a very good price, however its a huge market and the tables are plenty, not to mention is not really easy to find a clean seat during lunch hours. The cleaners are many however, too crowded, as such it takes them quite a while before they clean it up for you. So patience is a must to have... not forgetting the ever growing queues and the harsh office ladies..... Yar.. watch out for birds and their poos... though spikes have been installed yet still watch where you seat.
i was skeptical to walk into this sushi outlet whom always seemed to have a neverending bee-line and after I have tried it... I regretted doubting them.
$1.50 for every plate of Sushi... Matter of fact I've come across similar adverts and I felt cheated when theres only one sushi on the plate rather than the pair we always meet. So it kinda took me loads of courage to try this $1.50 sushi and I'm happy to inform all you guys out there its really $1.50. Everything on the belt is $1.50. Yes you heard me right, though they do not have a menu and you should pick up anything u delight on the belt for $1.50, the varieties you see here can be better and more than the ones you can choose from the menu of most sushi bars.
I was impressed by the salmon sushi. Its a must have for any sushi meal and here the portion is really good. Large and juicy raw salmon with a medium small ball of rice. Its fresh and cold when served. The sashimi is a little to thin for me and I also love the hotate sushi. The ingredients they use are pretty fresh and I must say service is good. The belt is almost always full of selections and the chef never stopped producing new varieties to be placed on the belt. Its super good value as green tea, serviette and wet towel is free and you are only billed by the plates you eat.
The must eat when you are there.
1) Whole Scallop (Hotate) - Yes, they give you the whole thing with egg and some sauce.... and its not tiny
2) Sweet shrimp sushi - shrimp is fresh and sweet and meaty
3) Prawn sushi - prawn is almost half cooked, fresh and sweet
4) Salmon sushi - salmon is large and fresh
5) Some raw fish with attached yellow eggs - exceptionally nice visually and delicious
Its $1.50 per plate, service is okay but belt is always full of selections. On peak hours they have this slip that advised how much time you ought to spend eating, so its kinda a eat and go and peak hours. Its good this way to prevent the queue from waiting too long outside. Not a place to chill and chat with your friends during peak hours, though off peak hours and okay but only during peak hours you get the full selection of what they have to offer...
A fabulous and extremely worth it dining experience. I'm sure to intro and return often.
This outlet is one of the best Aston Outlet's there's ever been. The location is central yet at a higher floor gives it a prestigious image yet the prices are affordable. Watch the queue, especially on weekends and eve's of holiday. Though the Mall has got nothing much for shopping, yet the students from the nearby SMU, Laselle and other schools hang around here and loves to dine at Astons... So make sure you arrive early and don't wait for the queue to build up, else you will have to wit pretty long.
Its a pretty huge outlet with booth tables that we enjoy as it gives us much privacy and plenty of tables that can be combined for huge groups of groovy teens. The environment is pretty casual and though you could smell the sweet aroma of grilled meat, its not enough to make you smell like you hang a piece of grilled meat walking around like a brooch.
Selection of food is pretty good and I love the new side addition of Mac n Cheese. The way to order is to choose a main and my favourite has always been hickory bbq chicken, then choose 2 sides, hot/cold. I always love pasta salad and mashed potato.. No reasons... but I feel that they are tasty. Their food is above average and price affordable and of course.. they serve with loads of cheese and potato which most youths love.
Service is quite good and friendly. Its a casual meal and I love the chatty environment. It kinda make me feel young again...
This is one of my secret hideouts. I love to hang at Imam for late night suppers, after drinks cooling down and living the good old days of sitting at the back alley.
Imam is actually walking distance from Kallang MRT... approximately 3mins away and is almost always open. Sometimes pretty crowded during weekends. The selection of food there is great as they do have different types of roti prata, or some called it roti canai, fried noodles, rice and briyani, nasi kandar (Mixed veg with rice). These are some of the stuffs we love to have there:
1) Teh Halia (Milk Tea with Ginger) - Its not as yummy as my favourite lau pa sat one, but these milk teas with a frothy top packs a punch. Make sure to drink it while its pipping hot less it becomes more and more spicy as it cools down. This is one of life's exciting food.
2) Bandung (Rose Cordial with milk) - It comes in a giant cup, I guess at least 700ml. Love the way they swirl the milk and the cordial to looks like a latte. It tasted balance, but with all the indian stores, be sure to always ask them to less sweetness.
3) Milo Dinosaur - Is actually a 700ml milo with ice topped with plenty of dried milk powder. I love it... its yummy, extremely chocolatey and nutritious.
4) Roti Prata - Kosong is nice and crispy and love the veg curry that comes with it. Tried the sardine mutabak which was a little spicy but fluffy and with loads of contents. The bomb prata was however quite a disappointment. I expected it to be sweet and fluffy yet it was coated in a thick layer of planta margarine.
5) Mutton Briyani - Is super yummy, good value and mutton curry is soft and well cooked.
Its a nice place to hang with friends however if you want to live the back street style, then watch the flying cockroaches... Its a back alley, so prepare to get acquainted with the residents there!!! Eeekss!!!!
