Tian Tian Chicken Rice located at Singapore's Maxw Tian Tian Chicken Rice located at Singapore's Maxwell Food Market is one of the most famous chicken rice stalls in Singapore. If you are making your way to Tian Tian chicken rice, be sure to come off peak. Pay at the cashier counter first before making your way to the pick up area. We dined there at 4pm and there was no queue 🐌🐌🐌 #food #foodie #sgeats #eatsg #sgdining #dinner #foodlover #foodcoma #foodoclock #foodphotography #foodart #foodadventures #epicurean #gourmettraveller #eat #eeeeeats #igfood #instafoodie #foodinstagram #chickenrice #tiantian #foodiesg #slowfood #slowfoodsg #heritagefood #singaporeeats #singapore

We had to control ourselves from ordering more and extra rice to polish off the food.

Quietly and without fanfare, Yet Con closed it's d Quietly and without fanfare, Yet Con closed it's doors this year . We mourn a passing of an institution. Founded in the 1940's, this Hainanese restaurant served good old fashioned chicken rice during the day and steamboat in the evenings. Yet Con will always be remembered for it's nostalgic interiors and the cashier's desk (with abacus and all). We hope for a return soon . #food #foodie #sgeats #sgdining #slowfoodsg #slowfood #heritage #heritagefood #localflavours #yetconchickenrice #chickenrice #singapore #iremember #eat

If you are looking for handmade old fashioned bak If you are looking for handmade old fashioned bak kwa (BBQ pork slices), head to Kim Hock Seng along Geylang Road. The affable Mr. Ong Geok Hoo still painstakingly makes his bak kwa from scratch using a recipe inherited from his late mother in law. The bak kwa had a lovely sweet caramel flavour and was soft and not too chewy. Do chat with Mr. Ong who will be more than happy to tell you of his days when the stall was along Keong Saik Road (a hike in rent forced him to move to the present premises) and his time when he took part in the Mr. Duxton Plain Body Building Competition in 1970 🐌 570 Geylang Road Singapore 389515 (Between Lorong 32 & Lorong 34) Tel : 6221 4882 🐌 #heritagefood #slowfood #slowfoodmovement #slowfoodsg #bakkwa #artisanal #bbqporkslices #handmade #foodiesg #kimhockseng #geylang #singapore #localflavours #igfoodies #instafood #foodinstagram #foodphotography
