The Humble Signage of My Favourite Eatery
Tucked away on the 2nd Floor of Coronation Plaza,next to the Coronation Clinic, is this gem of a food haven which has been in operation for perhaps 20 years now. Operated by Mr. Leong and his family, the devout Christian owner (his shop has Catholic artifacts and Christian Music piped in continuously) manages to dish out many very tasty Peranakan dishes from his late Aunt and has attracted a full to overflowing crowd every lunchtime. I try to eat there before 12pm or after 2pm else there is always a long wait. The dishes which I highly recommend are :
a) Mee Siam
b) Poh Piah
c) Mee Rebus
d) Pie Tie
e) Cod Fish Ramen
Andrew and his Favourite Snack
The Poh Piah is a favourite amongst the young and not so young alike. I personally like the Pie Tie and the Mee Siam which is a Peranakan favourite dish with special chilli belacan as condiment and the fried shallots for flavouring.
Poh Piah
One of the 'top 3' Poh Piahs made in Singapore,as rated by Life Food Editor in 2006. The popiah skin is kept airtight in a container and the Poh Piah is handmade by the Leong Family who run this small coffee shop which is a favourite with the neighbourhood College students (Hwa Chong,NJC), school students (St Margerets and SCGS) as well as working people like me and well heeled people from the neighbourhood. Price per Poh Piah : $2.20 is high but the flavour is slightly sweet and the ingredients like turnip and fish skin are very fresh.
Kueh Pie Tie
The Bangkwang (turnip) is slightly sweet and the pie tie filling is kept crunchy by sealing in an airtight box.Each serving comes with a slice of boiled egg and freshly ground chilli paste and parsely as garnish.
