Chicken Chop Rice!!!

Firstly, I would like to apologize for not posting. I was tied down with school work which I scrambled to get done. This recommendation is my apology to you guys!

Firstly, who can actually say that they have eaten tasty chicken chop rice for only $3? The chicken is marinated in spice which gives it a little spiciness. However, the sauce which is red wine brown sauce helps add another dimension to this already tasty dish. I would actually say that the sauce is one of the best I have tasted in a long while. The dish is completed with servings of coleslaw, baked beans and french fries. Sorry for the bun which is shown in the picture. I was too hungry at the time and ordered it for an additional $0.50 which is also worth it! Be sure to try the other dishes at the stall too!

Price: $2/$3/$4
Rating: 4/5 stars

It's back to Block 107 Ang Mo Kio again where there are many delicious food waiting to be discovered. This time, I am recommending carrot cake. Personally, I prefer the black version as it is saltier.This particular store has won numerous awards like the makansutra award for a few years since 2006. Apart from the generous serving of egg and salted radish which gives the dish added sweetness and saltiness, the chili which is served with it is also very spicy with a tinge of garlic taste in it. A must-try for all you chili lovers out there!


The quality of this dish is so good, it is also featured and reviewed on foursquare and hungrygowhere. Be sure to drop by and try this dish if you are anywhere near Ang Mo Kio! Your trip there will definitely not be wasted!

Nasi briyani


By Jonas Tay


Ang Mo Kio Block 339 street 31
Price: $5
Ratings: 3.5/5 stars



Nasi Briyani is one of my favourite foods and I will always pick this dish over others if I happen to see a store selling it. This nasi briyani is the top few of my ‘all time nasi briyani’ list. One can even smell the fragrance of the rice from afar. The rice comes in a huge serving too. I have to admit that even I, a self-proclaimed glutton, could not finish the rice. It is bound to fill your stomach and make you rub your tummy with joy. Served with curry, it provides a spicy alternative for you chilli/spicy fans out there too.

However, it is the fried chicken which really whets my appetite. Its skin is salty with a hint of sweetness which acts as a form of ‘appetiser’, making you want more. As seen from the photo, the stall vendors are not stingy with their serving of the chicken too. I must say that my hunger and appetite was more than satisfied after this meal. This nasi briyani is so good, I don’t even feel the pinch of paying $5!!!

AMK's Hand Made Noodles (Ban Mian): Cheapest in town yet


By Jonas Tay


Xiang Xiang Fish Soup, Hand Made Noodles
Ang Mo Kio Ave 4, block 107
Price: $2.50
Rating: 3.5/5 stars


Don’t be fooled by its ordinary appearance. Although this dish is sold almost everywhere, this Ban Mian stall at Ang Mo Kio block 107 is one that you cannot miss if you happened to be nearby!

My taste buds cheer as the sweetness of the soup and the saltiness of the anchovies whet my appetite. Not only there is a huge amount of ingredients used, there is also a relatively large portion of noodles which would fill your stomach. The small lumps of minced meat eventually completes the meal for only $2.50.  

This is the ideal dish for you especially if you are on a tight budget!
