I guess this stall at New Lai Lai Hong Yun Food Centre needs no introduction at all, many Singaporean would know about it. Anyway as it's my favourite despite the long waiting hours during standard dining and supper hours, I would order it whenever I'm in Geylang.
I always order the Gong Bao frog porridge because it's the one with the most flavour, I would never ordered the plain frog porridge where the frog are placed inside the claypot of porridge, the taste just isn't right for me. Whenever I order my Gong Bao frog porridge, I would always asked for more sauce so that I would not run out of sauce for the porridge.
Not to mention, in the same place there's also nice fried oyster and iced barley water to go with the frog porridge.

Tiong Bahru Hokkien Prawn Mee at Tiong Bahru Market & Food Centre. This stall has a long history, it's signboard reads since 1951, my father was just a mere 1-year-old when this stall started to operate. My favourite is 'mee kia' (the thin yellow noodle) dry with chilli, the noodle are cooked quite nice and all the lean meat, fish cakes, prawns and veggie are great. At times, you'll be surprise to find an additional pig skin which will be added randomly by the stall cook which I heard from my mum that it help enhance skin.
The soup is also nice, at times we went back for a second helping. I followed this stall for a long time, from the very old and crampy Tiong Bahru Market to the temporary market till the current new double-storey market.
Jin Hua Fish-head Bee Hoon at Maxwell Road Food Center, well what I can said is that this is one of the best fish-head been hoon that I've tasted.
Of course I would not order fish head as most of the time I'll be ordering the fried fish meat bee hoon lor, it's more worth the price. Why would I consider it one of the best?
Because of the soup, the soup is thick and the proportion of the milk added into the soup is just nice, the fish is good as it would be soaked by the soup to an extreme level that it's so soft, everything tasted so well and that explains why there's a queue whenever you're there.
In addition, it's always like a local "celebrity" cooking the food for you, just be observant as the boss who's cooking resemble MediaCorp actor Rayson Tan, husband of Chen Liping!
Mint (Moment of Imagination and Nostalgia with Toys) Museum of Toys @ 26 Seah Street is the world's first purpose-built museum for toys. Showcasing an extensive collection of vintage toys, including rare and unique one-of-a-kind toys, that spans more than 25 countries over 100 years.
Although I had heard and read of this place but can't didn't find time to visit it, maybe also due to the ticket price. Since I was invited for the Yebber party thus I went ahead to attend the party, visit the museum for FREE!
I have a quick tour of the museum because the party had yet started. I paid a visit to level 2 - 4 to check out the many antique and retro toys which includes Popeye, Batman & Robin, Ultraman, Mickey Mouse, Felix the Cat, Tintin, Flinestone, Snoopy, Inspector Gadget, Dennis, Beatles, Darkies, Matchbox car collectibles and other kampung toys!
China Street Fritters in Maxwell Road Food Center, the main reason that you're not going to miss this 'wu xiang' stall is its fried egg, which is the rectangular deep-fried item, it's crispy and fully egg flavour, anyway it's egg afterall. Although this is a regular item in most 'wu xiang' stalls, but none of them tasted as good as this stall. The other items are also tasty and yummy, so is their sweet and chilli sauces.
When you order, you also need no use the tongs to pick your choices as a menu checklist with a display of the available items that you could use your finger to pin-point which item you want and the stall owner will do the selection pending on what you ordered.
