Updated 20.12.09>>Jus,a blog reader (thks!) has informed me that the canteen is undergoing renovation of some sort.And will be taken over by Koufu foodcourt.The Malay stalls will be replaced, I was told. *sigh.. another good food place gone.Im gonna miss you, fresh crispy big Garoupa + rice! But today (29.12.09) , I visited the place, it is still there..so enjoy them while there lasts!
I was told by someone on the blog (thks!) that there is a canteen in HDB hub,toa Payoh.Unsure where it was, I was told by another in www.twitter.com/putriberendam how to get there.(Thks!)Wow!Technology nowadays..
I thought there is only one food centre which is at Fork and Spoon but I was wrong.Well, I welcome new places with open tummy…so keep those tips rolling in…
This is one affordable and yummy food places to venture…
1)@Nasi padang stall-Overall the nasi padang is quite nice.Quite commendable that there are many food here so early in the morning.With wide variety of choices too!
Fried crispy tempeh is not bad too! The nasi padang stall sells good food but if their rice is of better quality perhaps,it can even be better!
I love the fried lungs (paru)soft and crispy and the chicken wing!!
This prawn looks inviting from afar thus I ordered a small plate of it $4.It tasted like malay sambal +indian masala.Yum!
The kueh is alright.Huge serving.
The middle kueh is nagasari which is steamed and u can see the middle part is banana (below)
I like the Malay kuehs@Nasi Ayam stall 50cents each but its large!
The gado-gado is not bad.But I LOVE the garoupa rice(nasi garoupa) cost about $5.50 but the garoupa is fleshy as compared to some 5 star restaurant.I love the crunchy outer and tender inner flesh.Love it!Even the soup that comes with it is like chicken soup.The sambal(chilli paste)is alright.I like the belinjao crackers!

The whole area will be closed by end of the month for renovation and taken over by Kofu. The malay stalls will be discontinued by the current owner when the place is ready. Not sure how long the reno will take though.
Thanks Jus for informing. *Sigh Another good place gone…
