16:11:00
Old Airport Road Food Centre is one of the oldest and largest food centres in the island city, serving authentic yummy local food to many generations of Singaporeans. You will find all the popular Singaporean dishes at this food court.
1. Western Barbecue.
Chicken Chop - $5.50
All sets served with fries, baked beans, cucumbers, tomatoes and butter bread! Chicken chop is dope! They uses 1 entire chicken leg for 1 serving! Very juicy and tender. It was cheap and good.
Taste: 2.5/5
2. Albert Street Prawn Noodles.
Prawn Noodles - $4
The uncle recommended this bowl of fresh prawn mee and as if to prove his claim, with such freshness guaranteed, the prawn meat was indeed firm and juicy. The prawn broth was rather flavorful, but slightly too oily for my liking.
Taste: 3.5/5
2. Lao Fu Zi Fried Kway Teow.
Fried Kway Teow - $3
The fried kway teow was really good. A good fried kway teow, will be oily, black and fragrant. which is awesome, and in general, there is just more of everything like chinese sausage, fish cakes and bean sprout and egg.
Taste: 3.5/5
Lor Mee - $3
The lor mee was really good. The rich, intense prawn-based gravy was just viscous enough to pleasantly coat the noodles without being cloying. Adding black vinegar to bring it to another level. The noodles are topped with the standard braised pork, ngoh hiang, egg and beansprouts, they also include fried snapper flakes that lend a great texture.
Taste: 3.5/5
Wanton Mee - $3
It was very disappointing. The wanton mee was very dry and awful. It's not the worst but it still a bad wanton mee i ever ate.
Taste: 0/5
6. Nam Sing Hokkien Mee.
Hokkien Mee - $3
Prawn stock packs an amazing punch, and when allowed to steam and mingle properly with noodles, creates a mouth watering plate of Hokkien mee. There isn’t the traditional chilli paste here, the dish is so flavorful on its own. Instead cut chilli balanced with a lime is sufficient to give a little heat as required.
Taste: 2/5
Rojak - $4
With more than 40 years of experience, they've mastered the art of making excellent rojak. The chef attentively grills the "You Tiao" to a crisp over charcoal, ensuring that it don't get soft, soggy pieces in the rojak. The combination of condiments is almost perfect, and the prawn paste they use is the star. Rojak is one of those dishes that you don't get bored of eating, because of the contrasting textures and flavours you get (sweet, sour, spicy, salty) with each bite.
Taste: 4/5
