Zhen Zhen Porridge (Maxwell Market)

When people ask "what is there to eat at Maxwell Market?". Many will reply "The Porridge"! So to be frank, I haven't tried this porridge before and so when I was at Maxwell market the other day I decided to give it a shot.

I hate to queue but when it comes to hawker food, my patience level doubled. I queued for almost 20 minutes to get a taste of the porridge and to be frank I was disapointed.

鱼生 (Raw Fish)

They have it in different sizes of serving. I bough the $3 serving. And for those of you who love spring onion, they do add them in. I have requested not to have any for mine thus it may seem like it lacks the greenery. It was pretty ok for this but I have tasted much better ones.


I have ordered chicken porridge but when I started eating, I realized the auntie has given me fish porridge instead. I didn't want to kick a fuss and didn't want to get an exchange because I don't know how long more I need to wait and I was famished!

So firstly I didn't like fish porridge and thus it was already a turn off. Secondly I don't see anything special about the porridge. These are all my personal opinions. I believe everybody has different taste and I am sure there are people who love it thus explain the long queue. But this is just not for me. I will not queue even 5 minutes for this.

But it is cheap costing only $2.50 for quite a big bowl. And if you want to add egg, that will be $3.

金华 slice fish bee hoon

I have not been out hunting for new places for food in Singapore as I am under a no carbo diet recently. I will resume my normal diet on CNY and start to blog on new places to hunt for good food!

A month back before I started by diet to loose weight for CNY, we went to maxwell market to try out the famous slice fish bee hoon. We wanted to just have a simple lunch before we head off to Ann Siang Road for a mini photo taking tour.

As usual there is always a queue and since it was a Saturday and slightly off lunch time, the queue is relatively short.

We ordered the fried fish bee hoon. The soup is very thick and rich in flavor  It is probably the best fried fish bee hoon that I have tasted. I like my fried fish bee hoon with milk added which gives the soup another level of flavor  I do know that some people doesn't quite like it, but I believe the soup will still taste as great without the milk. Ultimately, the soup is the natural flavor from long hours of boiling I believe.

Lao Ban Beancurd (老伴豆花）

I am sure there is no need for me to talk much about it. I believe more than  half of the Singapore population would have tasted it themselves. This is my favorite tau huay and it is the best dessert after some local hawker food.
