csingeu 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2011 hw come this area dun have good char kway teow and hokkien prawn mee? last thur suddenly gt craving for char kway teow for dinner bt cant find. Talk abt char kway teow, I'm feeling hungry now. Last time, there's a char kway teow stall at 505 market. I used to eat it quite often when I was still schooling... Then now it's gone le... don't know go to where... I can't remember whether there's other char kway teow stall ard now... There used to be a nice hokkien prawn mee... which I like that texture and "wetness"... but now also no more... been eating mostly (chicken with porridge + you tiao) or kway chap for a lot of weekends, so the past weekends, we tried the yong tou fu stall (facing the POSB ATM)... not too bad... Yes. The chicken rice (facing wet market) is really very packed. (though i think i didn't buy from it before, coz always long queue - i hate waiting)... last weekend, i was checking out some renovators (my mum helped me ask for some quotes earlier in the week) for quotations along the shops after the wet market towards the former town council building, I saw a long queue there too... anyway, don't think i'm getting any of the renovators downstairs. There's a few (Hwa Li, AP Logic, LCT)... some of them... the quotes were like $35K. a bit too low... i scared a lot of hidden costs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure about their quote though... and the zi char restaurant next to it is quite good de... haha thanks for the lobang however i juz told wifey to go the market below>make no sense to travel far for cents when theres a market juz below..but i must say 492 and 505 market is very lively As for jurong lake story i hope it will help to push up our value and also shed the industrial thingy which always linked to jurong it's true... time is also $$. sometimes i just go JE NTUC after work.... not much chance to go wet market if you're working... can't really shed the industrial thing maybe... given that one of the attractions is Science Centre Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

manutd1972 1 Report post Posted January 28, 2011 wah bro you seem to know this market very well! cos i used to stay near there. Commonwealth actually. but i usually buy my dinner frm this coffeeshop on the way home. they renovated the place some time back and he moved stalls. last time, his stall was more towards the centre. he also took over another stall at the coffeeshop at the other end of the block, nearer to the 4D/Toto ticketing booth. that stall mostly manned by his female partner. dunno whether his wife or not.
