Chinatown food trail

Just outside of Chinatown mrt (infont of People's Park Complex), there are many stalls selling a variety of food that can't be found elsewhere. I decided to try some of it since I was heading down to that area! 

One of the stalls that I went to was this bakery shop as I was having a really bad craving for good egg tarts.



Everything look so yummy! However with limited space in our tummies we bought only the Egg tart ($1) and Char Siew pastry ($1).

Next, was this stall that sells something like a pancake? I heard that it was a favourite snack in China, unsure if it is true though. They had the original ($1) and flavoured ones ($1.50), and we decided to go with the original flavour!


There were many other stalls as well, selling all sorts of weird food....



We got ourselves a Duck leg ($4) from this stall too!


And also a Durian pancake ($1.50) as our dessert hehe




Before indulging in all of our 'snack', we went to have traditional desserts first! This is located on the side of Chinatown towards the foodstreet area.

It was pretty crowded when we got there!

After deliberating whether to get a hot or cold dessert, I decided to go with Tang yuan ($2.50) and the boyfriend got himself the Sesame Paste ($3).

I really love how soft and chewy my Tang yuan was!!! And also the peanut paste inside of it (I only take peanut cos' I really dislike the taste of sesame :/) Absolutely recommend this to all of you, although it might be a little pricey as there were only 4 Tang yuans.

I tried the Sesame paste too and didn't like it at all, but this depends on personal preference! The boyfriend was happily enjoying it, so i guess for those who like sesame might enjoy it too.



And finally for our last stop, we went to the food street to indulge in our snacks bought earlier on!


There were many famous food stalls here, which probably explains the crowd.

Got ourselves Stingray ($12) from Boon Tat Street BBQ Seafood stall and it was pretty good! One side was really 'meaty' and it would be even better if they gave more chilli!




What a glutton we were that day! We came to a conclusion that we shouldn't do this the next time though, the mixture of all kinds of food somehow killed our appetite a little :/ It was still worth the shot, we managed to try so many different delicacies!
