blk 9 ?Originally posted by chiabaliao:You lived there too? I was staying at Blk 9 Gloucester Rd. Yes, the Chwee Kuay comes in a single plastic tub ( slightly bigger than 4 traditional small cups). It used to cost 70 cts per tub, later 80 cts, but I think the price has gone up to $1.00.
There is also a chinese stall selling mee siam and lontong. I like it too.

sorry, side track a little. I like the chwee kuay in Cambridge food centre better than tiong bahru. The chwee kuay really taste yumi - it is fried with dried shriumps. the one at tiong bahru lacks taste and the kuay is bland/blend.Originally posted by chiabaliao:General location off Cambridge Rd at Farrer Park (can approach from Farrer Park MRT). I lived at Dorset Road for a few years in the late 80s.
My favourite food at the Cambridge Rd Food Centre is the Cambridge Yong Tau Foo. It just has the right balance to tinkle me. Great sauce, great chilli, and Yong Tau pieces that don't look as if they come from a factory. Very under-rated, but what a joy for me to know and eat it.
And yes, there is also a great Chwee Kuay stall there, chunky chye poh and really great chilli to go with it. Understandably, I'm not a fan of Tiong Bahru style Chwee Kuay - its chye poh tastes funny and its chilli is no where near the Cambridge standard. Many people like to down play the importance of using the right chilli. Not me -
wa, old neighbours here ah!! Me stayed in that area b4. Now sometimes still go to that hawker centre. One recommendation - the meen chang kuay is nice - full of peanuts ingredients and costs only 50 cents.Originally posted by littlestream:eh.......block 9 ah? hmm.........sorry ah.....a bit stretching my memory leh. i forgot liao but do sound familiar ah.

The meen chang kuay is the favourite of residents there. My wife likes it very much. We still go there on some weekends.Originally posted by rane:wa, old neighbours here ah!!

Blk 9 is very "safe". A police post is right at the void deck. At that time, if you want to jog, go to the track; want to play tennis, go to the tennis centre; want to play soccer, so many pitches there; want to eat, no problem; want to swim, can also. It's better than condo living.Originally posted by littlestream:eh.......block 9 ah? hmm.........sorry ah.....a bit stretching my memory leh. i forgot liao but do sound familiar ah.

There were a few teochew porridge shops there. Quite nice, but I didn't patronize them as much as I patronize Cambridge Food centre. -
