This Cheng Tng stall is damn popularI had to wait about 15 minutes for this...
A whopping 22 ingredients go into this little bowl of heavenThe texture of this stall's version of an all-time favourite local dessert is incredible. In one spoonful you may get bits of sweet potato, barley, white fungus, dried longans, preserved persimon, ginko nuts, dates, and a whole bunch of other stuff that I can't name.
At $2 a bowl it's not your cheapest hawker dessert but it sure is worth it. Even malays are joining the queue to have it! The taste could be slightly less sweet, but then again I was having the hot version so perhaps the cold one would do just fine.
Where: Chomp chomp-styled food centre opposite Bedok camp (I travelled 1 hour from town on bus number 14 for this)
Taste: 4/5
Value: 5/5
Ambience: 3.5/5
There's also a famous hokkien mee stall next to this one but that really wasn't worth the wait. Not nice lah, so so only.

Mai siao siao ok. The ART of Mee Pok
40 mins of waiting for this...Ok, to be fair, it really is THE best mee pok I've tasted. Ever. Every aspect was perfect, the noodles, fishballs, prawns, lard, only the soup was too sweet.
5 stars for this. No, wait, 4.5.
Where: The Art of Mee Pok Ptd Ltd, near Tanah Merah MRT
Taste: 4.5/5 (minus 0.5 for the soup so if you don't mind it's a full score)
Value: 3.5/5 (Top-grade ingredients, but at 4 bucks a bowl is nowhere near value)
Ambience: 2/5
Duck and Char Siew riceFinally, we walked last friday from suntec to liang seah to have this. The duck at this place is pretty good, but the char siew is the star. If you love your char siew very burnt and slathered with thick, calorie-laden black sauce, (like I do) then you'll like this place.
Where: Opposite Shaw towers, by day it sells roast meat, by night turns into budget steamboat place.
Taste: 3.5/5 (If you're a weight-watcher, don't bother)
Value: 4/5 ($4 a plate for charsiew + duck rice)
Ambience: 2.5/5
Well, it's been back to work this week. A few new faces, a couple have left. 23 funky fridays to go!
