Kheng Nam Lee at Havelock has been around for long enough, my parents even know that Chow Yun Fatt patronized them before! This teo chew muay stall like all others cater to the supper crowd and this is exceptional with the boss there every day of the year. Handmade Fishcake Smooth fish paste, this ranks tops for favourite handmade teochew fishcake. Braised Duck The most expensive dish on the menu but who can fault this signature tender one? Meat was particularly tasty and drizzled with enough sauce for that lipsmacking encounter. Soy Sauce Winglets Less satisfying than the braised duck, the boys loved them down to the bone. Chye Poh Egg I like my chye poh eggs slightly salty and eggy, this nailed it quite well. I'm not sure about you but overly salty omelettes are a huge turn off. Stir Fried Clams The zichar fan in me says this is a far cry from the tasty wok fried version. Hae Bi On the sweet side, this actually tasted like pork floss in porridge! Stir Fried Eggplant Spinach...

Ye Shanghai Teochew Porridge (夜上海潮洲粥) is a hotspot highly favoured by cabbies - it turns out to be a bustling teochew stall that almost never sleeps. With opening hours from 1030am - 530am, it is wonder that they did not consider a 24 hour operational model. Crowds are almost never stopping and queues forever snaking. All for the teochew porridge which is both cheap and good. My main grouse with teochew porridge is the ridiculous pricing scheme that adds up to a hefty sum to pay just for porridge and a few small plates. At Ye Shanghai, there is none of this - pocketfriendly could be the way to go.  No price tags to speak off, just how many pax and point your way through. The bill is calculated at another station, with an animated uncle who does arithmetic in the air - amazing.  Our dinner feast for four.  Potatoes with Onions Stir Fried Long Beans Stir Fried Spinach and White Fish Braised Eggplant Chap Chye Minced Pork and Salted Fish Braised Beancurd Skins Hae Bee Steamed Fish...
