I was craving for the frog porridge at Sin Geylang. But unfortunately when we arrived, the shop was closed. Oops… it’s Wednesday. The shop is closed that day. Too bad. Since we were already very hungry, we just stopped by somewhere near to grab something to fill our stomach.
Sin Kim San Coffee shop where the delicious Top Taste hokkien mee is being served in the morning, is serving a wide variety of hawker food at night. We are spoilt by too many choices of hawker food available. Ended up, no idea what to order.
My bf ordered a bowl of koay teow teng. Soup base is clear with average sweetness. The fish ball has springy texture, the way I like my fishball to be.
If I recall my memory correctly, someone left a comment in my blog recommended the BBQ chicken wing at this coffee shop. There are 2 stalls selling BBQ chicken wing. Wondering which is the good one, we were considering which stall shall we choose. Later on, we noticed that there’s one only stall selling, another stall is just starting to burn up the charcoal. So, we were just left with one and only choice.
The BBQ chicken wing looks nice with shinning skin, thanks to honey and perfect timing of BBQ. The meat is well marinated and outer layer tasted sweet but my bf complained that its inner part was not hot enough. Just like it had been took out from the fire for quite sometime. That’s the only drawback of it.
The chee cheung fun is floaded with prawn paste which is too much to my liking. But my bf said it’s nice. The chili with dried shrimp was good. Perfect to go with the bland ccf.
This emporer card board attracted my attention. I was attracted by the ‘fried emperor noodle‘ which was translated into ‘fried egg noodle’ in English.
When the noodle was served, I felt pretty satisfy as there are lots of side ingredients accompanying the noodle. The crab tofu is ‘planted’ on a crab shell and the ‘tofu’ part is made up of crabstick, minced meat and flour. It tasted quite good. There are a few pieces of fried chicken with well marinated meat. But the salad accompanying the noodle seems like don’t really match the noodle. The noodle itself has a crunchy texture.
It’s something new which worth trying.

The emperor signboard is really very eye-catching! The boss must be a smart bizman who knows how to attract his customers.
