Supper at Old Airport Hawker Centre

As the title implies, this blog is anything and everything to do with food. Hence I will be posting my food adventures around the island and the world, as well as the recipes, restaurant reviews and cookbooks which I managed to get my hand on.

So let's start with this supper I had last night with some friends. We went to Old Airport Hawker Centre and ordered chwee kuey (little white round cakes made from flour witl broiled radish on top), rojak (Indian cuisine consisting of a mix of all types of food with sweet sauce), ngo hiang (Chinese "rojak"), fried carrot cake (flour and shredded carrots mixed with eggs and fried till crispy) and sugar cane juice.

All the dishes were fried (I could actually see the oil glistening on the surface) and soaked in chilli and spices. Yummy!! Whenever I go for supper with this lot, there will always be a couple of food gurus among them. So we will talk about food while eating food. It is actually very enriching indeed, as I can get to know all the best hawker fare scattered around the island.

My friends' recounts brought me from Amoy Street Market to Maxwell Hawker Centre to Zion Road Hawker Centre to Tiong Bahru Market to Bedok Food Centre (at the interchange). What heavenly gourmet bliss. For someone like me who spends time experimenting and discovering where the best restaurants in town are, finding out where the best simple hawker fares lie is dreamy indeed.

Now I have more variations where to go whenever I want to fill up my delectable taste buds. It was really great to have great company and great food at the same time! Any of you gourmet lovers willing to follow me around for a salivating taste-testing experience?
