Fun Charm May 返尋味

Fun Charm May 返尋味 This page was at first created out of our passion for food. We are trying to create a FUN and informal page. This brainchild was mooted in MAY 2020.

The idea is to share foods that we think are CHARMing and worth mentioning. Hence the name Fun Charm May.

115 Bukit Merah View Market & Hawker Centre

STINKapore is really a scary place. Today i was "CHOPPED" by a hawker. I did not cause a scene or trying to argue with the hawker on the price. I have eaten in many economical rice stall or even Nasi Lemak Stalls (if you guys wanna debate on the stalls). But this is the first time that im PAYING $10 for this kind of lunch {1 miserable piece of pork chop, 1 chicken wing, 1 tofu with veg, 1 Yong Tau Foo and 1 bitter gourd (one portion each nothing more)}. Im not sure did he make a mistake? But i did asked him one more time and he repeated $10 without battling his eyes. $10 for 5 dishes; 2 meat and 3 non meat. WOW!!!! Its not that i can't afford. I have eaten more varieties than this and paying less plus it is at a coffee shop. This is a hawker centre. WTF!!! Even when i ate at Waterfront food court, the most im paying is $8+. But to pay $10 for 5 types of dishes at a hawker centre this is absurb!!! Its like telling me that per dish is $2.

Anyway they can only cheat me once. Im definitely not going back to patronise them again.

𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗳 𝗛𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗙𝗼𝗼𝗱 (海南西餐)
📍 1A Commonwealth Dr, #01-04 141001, Singapore 141001

We reach the place at 7pm sharp and the queue is already quite long. Not sure if it is because it is a Saturday night. It took us one hour to have our order taken. But the food was ready in about 15 mins.

Chicken chop on the outside is crispy but the meat is very tender and juicy. The sauce that comes with it is very flavourful and unique as it is like a fusion between Western and Hainanese cuisine.

I find that fish and chips is a bit oily. The taste is quite unique as the batter used is very special as I have not eaten any fish and chips in this kind of batter. Like the sauce that came with it. Very flavourful. Owner is very generous with everything. The portion of the side dishes and the size of the fish is quite huge. Really worth the price and time queuing for it.

The ordering system is a bit messy as there are no proper Q system. The best is to sit close to the stall so you won't miss your order. They should really improve this.

At around 8.30pm the crowd dwindled… As they are preparing to close for the day. I heard that the owner only works about 2 hours a day. So if you are really interested to taste this, you may have to come early to queue for it. Not forgetting they might be moving soon as the market is slated to be demolished by the end of 2021.

Will I come back again? You bet!

Famous Amoy St Lor Mee *Lost & Found*
📍 Whampoa Hawker Centre
91 Whampoa Drive Singapore 320091

This is one of the best lor mee in Singapore.. Love the thick gravy which don’t turns watery even after I finish my meal.. The ingredients are generously given for the $3 portion that I ordered. I got few big pieces of crispy ngor hiong, big pieces of fried fish, braised pork and additional boiled egg.

The portion might look very small but it is very filling as the ingredients are a lot and in big pieces..

💰Lor Mee $3.00

The reason why we chose these 3 stores is because we feel that they are the slightly more popular ones and should be of the same category. Though there are brands like Nam Kee, Sheng Kee, Yeap Seng Etc. But we still feel that they are in the same league in terms of their popularity and history in Singapore....

The most important reason we did this blind test is we keep arguing which brand is the nicest of all. We took the bus and trains to different locations to buy it. This is definitely not a paid tasting.

Below are what we think of the BAOs and SIEWMAIs!

𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿 𝗦𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝗕𝗮𝗼
🟡 TR – Most bland and least juicy. Smallest too.
🔴 HK – Had the thickest skin among all. Not as juicy and flavourful as compared to TB Bao.
🔵 TB – Juiciest and flavourful. But the char siew sauce is a bit salty.

𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝗕𝗮𝗼
🟡 TR – Smallest and a hint of sweetness. Not really to my liking.
🔴 HK – Biggest among them. A bit blend and not as juicy.
🔵 TB – Juiciest among all. Most flavourful. More fillings. You can taste the turnip and chive. The meat is made of sliced meat and not minced meat.

𝗦𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝗠𝗮𝗶
🟡 TR – Smallest, salty and not as starchy. Can taste the meat
🔴 HK – Bit Starchy. Least salty among all. The meat and ingredients all blended together. Favourite among all.
🔵 TB – Most Juicy but also the saltiest among all. It is also the biggest in size.

Was surprised of the results as we all along thought that HoKee Bao is the one that most suit our taste. But today we found out that Tiong Bahru Bao is the one that we really like and is the best among the 3 brands. Of course everyone's taste is distinctive. This blind test only shows our own preference towards them.
