Mention the name ‘Tian Tian’ to anyone in Singapore and chances are they’ll know exactly what you’re referring to. Opening its doors at Maxwell Food Centre in 1987, the stall has remained a family business since. Today’s Tian Tian draws snaking queues throughout the day. Tourists can be seen in the lines, patiently waiting for their turn to try this Michelin Bib Gourmand Award winner.
Hainanese chicken rice is a dish adapted from early Chinese immigrants and is considered as one of Singapore’s national dishes. The chicken is prepared in accordance with traditional Hainanese methods, which involve poaching the entire chicken at sub-boiling temperatures. The resulting stock is skimmed off and some of the oil and liquid, along with ginger, garlic, and pandan leaves are used in the cooking of the rice. The dish is always served with condiments of garlic chili, ginger sauce and dark soya sauce.
Opened after their initial bakery shuttered, Lee Meng Li and his wife Wu Jing Hua learnt the art of excellent curry puff making from a relative. Today their long queues and Michelin Bib Gourmand Award is a sure sign of their success. J2’s handmade quality is one of a kind. As such, the Lees only make 500 a day!
Available from Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays | 12:00pm – 1:30pm | S$67 per person
Tze Char, literally translated as cook and fry, is usually a stall in a hawker center or coffee shop that serves a modest selection of common Chinese dishes. This wallet-friendly cuisine is very popular among locals, especially for big groups.
Kok Sen has been around since the 1980s, and they have remained a family business. Starting as a small stall in a coffeeshop selling dishes by the plate, its enterprising owner adapted to the improving standards of living and began selling bigger portions for families. In 2000, Kok Sen moved to its current premises and became a full-fledged tze char stall. Chris Wong, the current owner, quit his job and took over from his parents.
Today Kok Sen regularly churns out irresistible dishes and old-school tze char dishes beloved by many. Being awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand Award should come as to no surprise for fans of the restaurant.
Available from Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays | 7:00pm – 9:00pm | S$97 per person
