Chinatown Complex: Revisited Again for the same food, same stall, same price!!
Hong Kong Mongkok Tim Sum [香港旺角点心], which I don't understand why so many people are queuing up to buy when they only sell like 4 or 5 items on the menu board?? It's not really that delicious anyway...
Apparently, only 3 people are required to run the stall. It's a self-service stall by the way..
115 Dessert Stall [115糖水] which is a couple of units away from the Hong Kong Mongkok Tim Sum stall..
I recommend the peanut paste [花生糊], as it's really smooth and creamy and the taste won't bog you down too. Even non-peanut fans will be convinced!!
A testament as to how yummy the desserts are... My father have to ordered three different bowls of dessert whenever we came here to eat.
Wei Ji Yun Tun Noodle Stall [威记云吞面] which is just diagonally opposite Hong Kong Mongkok Tim Sum Stall [香港旺角点心]. For this stall, I specially recommend the raw fish noodle [生鱼面]. No, it's not just ordinary raw fish like salmon or maguro. In the old original Chinatown complex, there's this porridge stall that sells porridge and it always goes well with a particular type of raw fish called 西刀鱼. That is the raw fish used in their raw fish noodle. The noodles are cooked and served up with raw fish and sliced lettuce. You just mixed up the plate of noodles and the heat from the noodles will "cook" the raw fish along the way. This particular type of fish can be enjoyed both raw and cooked, but I like mine raw..
North East Line (NEL) Outram Park MRT. This MRT station looked alien to me, in a way that way back in the past, there wasn't any NEL at all. All that was sitting there is just a patch of grass...
S'ban Siew Pau a.k.a King of Siew Pau [烧包之王]. Just directly opposite the old (and currently renovated) Chinatown Complex, they sell really yummy Portugese egg tarts too. I like the almond tarts, but they could have use more unmashed almonds for the tart though.
Siew paus and tarts galore... What a tarty affair!!
The spiral carpark which leads to the Chinatown Complex food stalls and market (wet and dry). I'm surprised I never got "cock-eyed" after my uncle drove us up and down so many times when I was little...
Just a few units away from the stall selling Siew Paus and tarts are a whole long row od shophouses selling old chinese knick-knacks which only our grandfathers and grandmothers will know the purpose it is created and used for..
And up close shot of the compass.
Cheap handphone accesories that I am very sure no young citizens of Singapore would want to hang, much less go near it...
Yes, this is the much "talked about" food street which I have warned tourists not to have their meals at. It's cramped, it's not that yummy and it's definitely expensive. And it's situated just below Chinatown Complex, hoping to cash in on that pie too. Unscrupulous!!
Parting shot: There will be a Part III coming soon. There's this awesome building near Chinatown Complex, which house Buddha/Buddhist relics and apparently, the roof top can be accessed by visitors. I couldn't get to take any photos as my battery power ran out and it was also getting late in the afternoon too. And a note of mention: all these photos were taken using a camera-phone, not any digital camera. Too poor to afford one...
