Serving size aside, the rice was fantastic. Rest assured, it was definitely not ‘small’. My picture doesn’t quite do it justice because you cannot see how high the mound of rice was from that angle. ‘Small’ at this place is apparently a synonym of ‘pretty big’.

Helping the illusion along was the thin crowd that consisted mainly of elderly uncles and aunties. Sitting on the rather quiet corner of Changi Road and Everitt Road North, this nondescript eatery reminds me of old Singapore with its laidback vibe and bare basics furniture.

It’s also known by the less hectic Hong Kong Street Food Chun Tat Kee or, as I abbreviate it, the scandalous-looking HKSFCTK. This is its full name on Google Maps: Hong Kong Street Chun Tat Kee 81 XO Fish Head Beehoon XO Crab Beehoon Yesterday, I discovered this gem of a hawker stall just a few minutes’ drive from my home that just blew me away.
