It’s been three years since we brought this old retro
street food carts concept from the Orchard carpark to its
present premises at the Esplanade by the balmy alfresco Marina
Bay area. We had a recent cosmetic makeover (in May 08) to
spruce and brighten things up a little but dared not re-invent
the charming character of this cool, open-air with huge umbrella-ed
seating eatery by the looming Marina skyline. We celebrate
the original Singapore supper culture in her purest form-
with all the noise, smells, cheerfulness, uncompromisingly
authentic and interesting flavours, its laid back no-frills
character and her friendly open-sky attitude to foodies of
all ages, creed and race. We have re-opened on the
23rd of May.

Ginger Teh Tarek

All our well loved classics are still churned out piping
hot out of our “naked” performance cart kitchens.
The old and highly touted Alhambra Padang Satay
also dishes out a hearty Gado Gado salad replete with colourful
crispies. These can all be nicely washed down with a cold
glass of Sugar Cane Juice with lemon or if you like, a mean
cup of hot Ginger Teh Tarek (pulled ginger tea) or a very
cold beer. You can also while some downtime away with a platter
of our famous Roti Kaya Fondue with crispy toasted bread fingers
all ready to be dipped in butter and our drippy, rich and
daily-made Kaya, or our Lacy Pancakes (Roti Jala) with an
addictive chicken curry, all at the Gluttons Bar &
Roti Kaya Fondue Stall.

Roti John |
We also hawk a Uniquely Singapore creation – the Roti
John (egg and minced lamb loaf), which some claim is invented
by an enterprising Malay chef to cater to his meat loaf loving
western customers at the Esplanade Mee Goreng
stall. Many local foodies still enjoy a great spicy platter
of our Mee Goreng - a local creation of spicy sambal red fried
noodles, by the Indians, which gels well with a cup of hot
plain tea.
The Kampong Wok’s Nasi Lemak has a
stinging sambal which to purist, is the “sadist”
type- it bites but makes you want to have more, especially
when mixed with their lightly coconutty rice. It’s strange,
but the breakfast Fried Carrot Cake (at Huat Huat’s
stall) is very popular for supper here (we suspect that it’s
the unique white eggy pancake style that the old uncle does
that makes it so devouringly appealing). If you want real
family and friends restaurant meal sans the “overpriced”
factor, then Sew An will delight with his
repertoire of Cze Cha (street restaurant) dishes like fried
hor fun and rice, steamed fresh fishes and even a stunning
Chicken Chop with Apple Chilli Sauce.

Sambal Vongole |
Or, if you like it edgier, tear into the fearsome but delectable
BBQ stingrays (skate), sotong or sambal mussels from Boon
Tat Seafood, their addictive sambal sauce is almost
illegal. Of course, when the craving for local cult faves
like Or Luak (oyster omelette), Char Kway Teow or Fried Hokkien
Prawn Noodles kicks in, the deft wok masters at Soon
Lee will satisfy you. Then, there are those of you
who may want a hands-on self done quaint little Bbq meal party
at this bay side with perhaps a Thai style hotpot set complete
with glass noodles, then the charcoal claypot and bbq folks
at Happy Pot can keep you and your friends
happy and warm.

Feasting hours begin each evening at 5pm-2am (Mon-Thurs)/
5pm-3am (Fri-Sat)/ 4pm-1am (Sundays). Eat well, live well
and remember, life’s greatest adventures and experiences
are something we all Die Die Must Try!
