Here are 5 Must Try Stalls At Bukit Panjang Hawker Centre
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–
Zai Lai Prawn Noodle
#01-09
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–
The thing that most people like to do while walking around hawker centre would be to observe what others are eating. At Bukit Panjang Hawker Centre, you will see that almost every table has a bowl of Lor Mee. The stall itself has a queue that never seems to go away no matter what time it is. For the bowl of Lor Mee ($2.70), you get a generous portio of ngoh hiang, fish, pork belly and egg. Most importantly, the Lor here is very tasty. In addition, you could add any amount of garlic, chili, and vinegar based on your own preference. Other than Lor Mee,they also serve Prawn Noodle, Laksa, and some sides to go along with your mains. We tried the Fried Ngoh Hiang ($2.50), which was handmade but the fillings were a little too salty for us.

Xin Ban Mian
#01-16
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–
The Pork Belly Ban Mian ($4.50) is one of best seller from this stall; the other would be the Original Ban Mian ($3.50). Brimming with pork belly, minced meatball, vegetables and egg, the broth seemed normal, but the sweetness and richness of it took me by surprise. The minced meatballs were also well marinated that you just can’t stop at one. The ban mian was also soft and suitable for people of all ages, whether young or old.

BP Braised Meat Rice
#01-25
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–
Unlike the Taiwanese Braised Minced Meat Rice, you actually get chunks of meat from the Braised Knuckle or Trotters. For Braised Pork Knuckle Set ($3.80), it comes with rice, braised pork knuckles, egg and tofu. The pork knuckles were thoroughly braised and very tender. It is especially nice (but unhealthy) to chew the soft and juicy fat off the meat. Another surprising factor would be their braised tofu, which unlike others, it was first deep fried then braised. Hence, you get a chewy juicy braised layer before tasting the natural sweetness of the soft tofu.

You Xiang Teochew Noodles
#01-13
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–
With 30 years of experience, You Xiang Teochew Noodles was previously located at Blk 137 Potong Pasir. Despite moving to a new location, there was still a long queue before the stall. The Mushroom Minced Meat Noodles ($2.70) has the usual minced meat, braised mushroom, pig’s liver and meatball. Their had handmade meatballs were filled with lusciously umami meat and broth.

Bee Hwa Handmade Pau Tim
#01-07
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–
Another worth queueing stall is Bee Hwa Handmade Pau Tim. The Big Pau ($1.20) were handmade and sold at the very same place. Although the skin of the bun looks thick, it is actually very soft and puffy. The fillings within were very succulent, and the savory minced meat goes well with the skin. Other than the popular Big Pau, there are other dim sum such as Siew Mai, Prawn Dumpling and Char Siew Pau sold very cheaply at $0.60 per piece.
