NEW HAWKERS IN OCT 2017

BBQ-ed yakitori, bakwa, and curry rice.

FOMO, an acronym for “Fear Of Missing Out,” brands themselves as as a “hip-styled food court.” Not sure what that means but they house mostly Western food such as Poke Doke (poke bowls), Mr Wholly Seafood (Cajun seafood bucket), and The Don (pizza and pastas).

“Hou Yeah” means “very good” in Cantonese but it can sometimes be said in a sarcastic manner. Here, the stall puns on “hou yeah” which means both “very good” and “good coconut.” The stall specializes in nasi lemak. Cute pun.

They serve nasi lemak kukus–rice is steamed, not placed in a rice cooker–and sweet martabaks, pancakes similar to min chang kueh, in different and original flavors such as red velvet and ondeh-ondeh.

Opened on 20 Sept and run by Timber, the hawker centre houses 43 stalls, out of which 13 of them are first-time ventures. 24 year-old Lee Lock Teng, of Ah Lock Tofu, serves his grandmother’s Hakka yong tau foo in a donburi. There are also more experienced owners. Fishball Story, which was awarded Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2016 but lost it this year, has a stall here (should be their 3rd outlet). Xin Long Xing has set up their 4th stall here, selling their specialty white beehoon and chilli crab hor fun. Payment is done through machines and when you return your tray, you get $1 back.
