  • Legendary Commonwealth Crescent Hawker Centre to close for major renovations will end of 2023. This place is almost as old as Singapore’s first estate at Tanglin halt. In fact it’s right across the road and they’re completed right around 1960s.
    There’s a good mix of old legends and new entrepreneurs that are dedicated to their art of delivering good food.
    Luckily for us.. almost all the hawkers indicated that they’ll be back after the renovations.. but 2.5 months of rest at the age of almost 80 can be huge changes at that age.
    We wish them a good rest and may we see them again in January 2024. In the meantime.. please soak in the sights that will be lost with the renovations
    There’s an old aunty dessert stall that wasn’t open.
    Catch her in action in my video 2 years back.

    There should be a wanton noodle stall that is 60 years old, precedes this current hawker stall. It used to be in the old hawker which was torn down. It was located near an open space which had a huge chargrill, the lady owner’s husband worked in a noodle factory. They serve good noodles. They are Cantonese and serve the old wanton noodle style. Used to be quite famous in the Commonwealth area. Family run, 2 old ladies and her son.

      Yes yes.. I’ve heard of them and been looking for them. Anyone knows if they are indeed still around? Or have they retired 😕

      Yes , it is next to the playground in the old hawker centre . They are currently located within commonwealth crescent and across the fruit stall and , now run by the son and the stall name is called Jian Kang wanton noodle , yes it is very authentic and very old style and one of the best kept secret in Singapore!

      @@drchristan5641 thank u, Chris. So good to know they are around... Thought they have might quit and not survived the hawker scene, as I don't see any news about them despite them being around for years.. Yes, I remember the old playground. BTW, I miss the hugely popular old schooled braised duck stall near them at the old hawker site. Do u know where they are? Their braised duck one of a kind... Been searching for them for years.. !

      Can see Kelvin is very merticulous about his burgers.. even right down to warming up the buns again right before plating.. just to get that perfect crisp

    The Wanton noodle stall which the boss shy away from camera, his noodle so-so only. Nothing to hoo-haa at all. Rather the prawn noodle operated by lady boss worth trying

      @Piggypuggy  Год назад

      They did ask nicely if I can omit them.. said theirs just common noodles.. but I guess there’s still always a demand for wanton mee anywhere. Cheer them on a bit.. I need to find the prawn noodles next time.. not the one beside hammees? Thanks bro

      The problem is they don’t allow Malaysians who are willing be hawkers to take root here.. we can surely invite some good cooks over. Singaporeans already have it easy. Nobody wants to wake up at 4am and work 12 hours without holiday

      Let's see , Piggy. CCM&FC looks like a good alternative to Holland Drive as the terminus of my anticipated rail trail adventure. If nothing else, I've been to Holland Drive and the roast at Foong Kee looks unbeatable.
      BTW. Are Big Arsed Fans an Australian company? My google searches seem to suggest so and I have even found a few of their installation s here in Ballarat.
