If you miss the hawker food from Malaysia, you no longer have to travel hundreds of miles to Malaysia to enjoy them. Resorts World Sentosa has gathered the best of Malaysia’s hawkers under one roof in its own Malaysian Food Street.
Standing at 22,000 square feet, the Malaysian Food Street is fully air conditioned, and designed to evoke the look of streets of Malaysia, with facades of old shop houses and replicas of 1950s coffeeshop. There are a total of 17 stalls which includes legendary Malaysian favourites such as Famous Jalan Alor KL Hokkien Mee, Huen Kee Claypot Rice, Penang Hai Beng Lor Mee etc.
Penang Ah Long Lor Bak（戏班脚阿隆五香卤肉）
Lor Bak Set $8; Individual items from $1
Lor bak is marinated pork rolled in soybean sheets and deep fried. It is served with a thick pork broth with corn starch and beaten eggs. On busy days, the stall owner can sell up to 1,000 lor bak in Penang.
Ah Mei Hokkien Prawn Mee（亚妹福建虾面）
Hokkien Mee $5; Hokkien Mee with Pork Ribs $6
Here we get to taste a bowl of very traditional prawn mee. The soup is cooked with crushed prawn shells, pork bones and dried chilli for 3 hours. It was then pour into a bowl of kang kong, bean sprouts, prawn, hard boiled egg, pork ribs, vermicelli and egg noodles.
Penang Hai Beng Hainan Lor Mee
Hainan Lor Mee $6, Hainan Lor Mee with Pork Belly $7
I have a soft spot for lor mee, as long as there is vinegar and garlic, I will be a happy girl. Hai Beng Hainan Lor Mee is the oldest signboards in Penang. The starchy gravy involves boiling the pork bones for 11 hours and stirring tapioca starch into it, hence giving a thick and heavy gravy.
Huen Kee Claypot Rice
Claypot Chicken Rice $6; Claypot Chicken Rice with Salted Fish $7
The committee went Malalysia to track down the best hawker food. They actually tried 10 different places of claypot rice and settled for Huen Kee. Huen Kee has a unique two-way heating technique which not only uses a burning charcoal stove but coals are placed on top of the claypot to lock the moisture and flavours of the rice and well marinated chicken.
Penang Lim Brothers’ Char Kway Teow
Char Kway Teow $4; Char Kway Teow with Egg $5
This brothers-run business has achieved much fame in Penang and won many fans over with its char kway teow. Unlike the local char kway teow which uses thick dark soya sauce, Penang char kway teow is saltier and lighter in colour.
Famous Jalan Alor KL Hokkien Mee（厨留鲜）
Fried Hokkien Mee $6
This was one of the best dish we tried that day. Famous Jalan Alor KL Hokkien Mee started in 1976 at Kuala Lumpur, the noodles has a good balance between light and dark soy sauce. The noodles are served with a homemade chilli balachan.
Petaling Street Famous Porridge since 1949（茨厂街靓粥 – 老字号 1949）
Porridge from $4.50
I kinda enjoyed the porridge more. The recipe has been passed down for 3 generations. The stock are boiled with chicken and pork bones for 3 hours. Then 3 types of grains are added and cooked for 2 hours. The end result is a hearty, flavorful porridge full of goodness.
Chendol
Penang Chendol $2.50
The stall makes green chendol jelly from scratch by boiling green bean powder, alkaline water, pandan leave and green colouring over low heat. Drizzled with coconut milk, this dessert is great especially during humid weather like Singapore.
Buah Long Long drink we love!
Fung Wong Confectionary（凤凰饼家）
From $1.20
After a hearty meal, don’t forget to drop by Fung Wong Confectionary to buy some pastries. Trust me, even if you are very full, remember to grab their baked char siu bao. It is very moist with tasty barbeque pork to satiate the palate. And the fresh egg tarts are baked till perfection with crispy tart shells.
