Boon Lay Ghee Huat Fried Oyster and Kway Teow Mee

Another stall that sells pretty good Fried Kway Teow Mee and Fried Oyster in Boon Lay Place Food Village!

Fried Oyster ($4)
What I love about fried oyster is the crispy fragrant egg with starch added. It makes the whole dish special unlike Oyster Egg which is basically just fried oyster on top of the fried egg (a healthier option??). Also, the watery chilli sauce that accompanies it is uniquely different from other chili sauce. Ironically, it is usually not very spicy (bonus point for me haha!) and taste tangy, sourish and more uplifting on the taste buds!

Plump oyster!
Nothing much to rave about Ghee Huat's fried oyster omelette but the plump oyster did make me smile! They managed to balance out a right amount of starch to put in, thus the fried egg wasn't all dry or soggy - which I appreciate!

Fried Kway Teow Mee ($3)
At one glance, their Fried Kway Teow Mee looks almost like those Fried noodles from Economic Beehoon stalls.


Their version is more watery and sweet. Only one lap cheong with no lard. Plenty of cockles and the noodles tasted really smooth but it is not exactly oily. It's an entirely different version of Fried Kway Teow but yes, it is tasty om nom nom nom!

Yao Heng Cooked Food

My mum used to come here often for their Satay Beehoon and I acquired a liking for it because of her. Thought I could eat that as well on this food trip but it wasn't available when Makan Boy and I reached at 11pm so we decided to try their.. Mixed Cuttlefish Dish!

Day & Night Menu
Notice how at Boon Lay Place Food Village, Day & Night Business is quite common among the stalls?

Mixed Cuttlefish ($4)
This is the first time I tried this but I noticed how another stall in Chinatown name it Cuttlefish Kang Kong instead.

Love the tender cuttlefish..
It has a mix of pineapple, mango, tau pok, achar, with kangkong and cuttlefish being the main star. The mix is stirred in a sweet sauce before a sprinkle of chopped peanuts on top, which I would say taste and looks pretty similar to Rojak!

If you ask me, I think this dish should be named Satay Cuttlefish Rojak! Nice!

Jit Sin

Couldn't find any review for Jit Sin but they were in good business that night with a continuous flow of customers.

Night business in full force!
They also sell Nasi Lemak and Economic Rice in the day!

Golden sticks of yummy meat!
Pork and Chicken Satay ($0.50/stick)
I love that their chicken meat is so tender and sweet to the bite! The pork was also nicely done and they alternated it with pork meat and lard. Compared to Malay-style satay, Jit Sin's satay was very simply marinated with sweet and tasty honey glazed all over.

Peanuts are grounded more finely
Their peanut sauce is smoother as compared to others and tasted great. It's not as oily and is more watery. The rice wasn't exceptionally tasty but nicely barbequed satay sticks dipped in saltish peanut sauce were still of much bliss. =D

Sin Chew Huat (Moi Xiang) Hotplate Stingray

The smoky fragrance of BBQ seafood is as tempting as the shiny popcorn in the cinemas. So hard to resist!

BBQ goodness!
I love all kinds of clams or shell seafood!
BBQ Stingray ($10)
Loving it!
Makan Boy and I love their BBQ Stingray! The chilli was super tasty and delicious! Saltish and slightly spicy - I totally adore it! Can't really say much about the texture of the meat because it wasn't like super fresh but it was of a decent size for the price. =D

Boon Lay Fried Carrot Cake & Kway Teow Mee

What caught my eye to try out this stall was probably due to Ben Yeo's face on the Channel U sticker. I got to admit that the feature on television channels for these hawker stalls, do tempt me in giving a shot at what they offer!

Boon Lay Fried Carrot Cake & Kway Teow Mee
Fried Carrot Cake ($3)
We ordered the Yin Yang (black and white) Fried Carrot Cake which cost $3 instead of $2.50 for one colour (so as to judge better in an economical way). Apparently, the uncle whom chatted with us claims that only at his stall will you get Yin Yang style carrot cake. Really? o_O

The black version tasted alright but the white did not pass my standard. Both black and white carrot cake were too dry for our liking as well.

Hmmmm....
Probably due to the change in hands at the frying wok (currently daughter taking over business), the statement "Famous Char Kway from Jurong 13th Mile since 1956" didn't quite match the standard of the fried carrot cake now..

Fried Kway Teow Mee ($2.50)
On the other hand, their Fried Kway Teow Mee was delicious! Theirs is a drier version of Fried Kway Teow that tasted sweet and flavourful. The kway teow they use is also thinner and we were told by the uncle that they are the first and only stall in Singapore to put pork floss - top grade one somemore!

Although they stated closing time as 11.30pm, the stall was still in business when we were there at 12am. Like any other hawker stalls in Singapore, operating hours are flexible and depends on the business or personal preference of the hawkers I guess. I read somewhere online that their carrot cake is available throughout the day while fried kway teow mee is available only at night.

Since their Fried Carrot Cake is only average, just try your luck for good Fried Kway Teow Mee at night!
