Find All Your Favourite Singapore Food at The Bedok Market Place (Bedok)

by - Friday, March 20, 2015

Wanna hang out at night to good ambience and enjoy local delicious food? 
There's a new makan place in the east- The Bedok Market Place. Opens daily till early afternoons, closes during the lull period and reopens from evening till night, The Bedok Market Place is more of your "alfresco" night dining setup. Except that it comes with shelter and high ceiling fans and you still get to enjoy the incoming breezes.

It gets pretty hot in the day anyway, so it's definitely recommendable to drop by from evening onwards, when the weather cools. Set up with the mindset to get people to come together to wind down, chill and enjoy good food, this place is homely with no fuss. 

P.S: The Bedok Marketplace's officially opening on 27th March, so you can expect almost all the eateries to be up and running by then.
With its airy setup spanning a huge area of a typical hawker center, the marketplace has been revamped to resemble the rustic 70s packed with all your favorite local cuisines and Asia's favourite.

Thanks to Lionel, we were treated to a sumptuous spread. And I really mean a grand affair. 

Let me introduce on what you can expect to find. Eat to your heart's content! 
Vietnamese Cuisine-Huong Que
Set up by Mr Leo Ng and his Vietnamese wife, Vu Thi Hai who helms the kitchen. They aim to offer authentic Vietnamese taste right where it belongs. 



Here's 2 of their best seller:
Braised Meat Rice (Com Thit Kho) $6, an authentic Vietnamese cuisine.
Has been a long time since I had braised meat and Vietnamese's version is different due to the added coconut water. The light sweet savory sauce embraced the soft and tender meat very well. So good! 

 Braised meat with boiled egg, cooked Vietnamese style was a refreshing take for me. 

Next is the Beef Noodle ( Pho Bo) $5.50.
We are all no strangers to Vietnamese Pho for it's light clear soup and Hong Que's no exception. Topped with thin slices of tender beef and beef balls, makes a soupy clean dish. 



How can we miss out curry in the Singapore cuisine?
If you missed homemade curry but find it too troublesome to cook, head to Curry's Business, just besides Huong Que. 

Curry Chicken $4.50. Large $6.50.
Add on the crispy and I really mean CRISPY jian tou lou ti ( baguette) and viola, a winner.

The curry was really thick, aromatic and filled with spicy Shiok-ness! It really does feel like coming home. The owner has his recipe passed on from generations and the taste was familiar akin to what my dad cooked for us when we were younger. 
Always proud of their homemade curry, the owner decided it was time to come out and share this goodness with everyone else, hence the startup. This stall is their first venture! 
Winner curry, I say.

LONTONG $4.
Can I tell you I hardly touch anything curry? Always think curries are super heaty and dare not really indulge.
However this dish once again tempted me much and I was not disappointed.
A very simple ( well, looks simple but cooking never is simple), homely and satisfying bowl of main staple. 
The gravy was the essence and spiciness was just right. Added with the rice cakes, vegetables, beans, tau poks and everything was just yum.

Next, The Penang Char Kway Teow.
They had not officially opened when we were there in mid Feb, but we met the owner cum chef- Aaron.

And... he cooked up a storm for us. Literally. 

Here's Aaron at work. 
An acclaimed chef who had won awards in numerous cooking competition, Aaron is passionate about Penang cuisine ( He's from Penang by the way). Their Char Kway Teow recipe was down from his grandfather and he had kept it original the way it has been for years. 


In Aaron's version, the banana leaves were not simply for plating purpose. Instead the leaves were wrapped in a funnel-like shape and the Char Kway Teow scooped and served kacang puteh style.
Eating means doing some "work" in unwrapping.

The highlights of his style of Penang Char Kway Teow?
Dark in color, has prawns and... thick slices of Char Siew! Bet you haven't seen this right? Char Siew in Kway Teow. 
Yes, this is not the typical Penang white-style we had expected. 
Go ahead and try for yourself this unique combo. 


Feeling thirsty?
I know. Have a drink. 
Noticed the cup designs? :)

Even the drinks stall is so stylo-retro! Don't you agree?

There's even a "Bar" counter.  Cool?  Just drink your beer anytime.

Let's take a walk around to digest. 
There's the Local Mixed Rice Stall- Hao Zhou Dao,  with 20 over dishes to choose from.

Is this style or what?! 
Do you know the owners actually come up with their own stall designs? What a creative lot!
 From afar this does not look like a mixed rice stall, doesn't it?

The Chop Chop Selections.
Choose how you want your meat to be cooked. Owned by Bark Cafe. 
Note to self: Must eat this next time.

Again, The Bedok Marketplace is very spacious, airy, clean and comfortable. You don't have to worry about being squashed by everyone else while sitting on dirty chairs and sweating it out. 

Seng's Wanton Noodles.
All the way from Dunearn Road, this famous stall is famous for their special chili.

Manya Japanese Ramen 

Nasi Lemak. Yong Tau Foo. Laksa
The way the Yong Tau Foos are display are very unique- in bamboo baskets.

I have 1 more dish to tempt you before I end off.
Sheng Ji specialises in Claypot Frog Porridge and Seafood BBQ at night and is run by the same owner behind Hong Chang Eating House at Braddell Road.

Note Opening hours for Sheng Ji and this whole marketplace in general. They are mostly closed in the late afternoon and reopens in the evening. 


There are 2 varieties of Claypot Frog Porridge and we had the Dried Chili and Spring Onions. 
Small $8, Medium $13 and Large $16.
I am not an expert with Frog legs but this really had me. It was really good together with the porridge!! The frog meat was really smooth and chewy. Chili was a good combi to add some flavor to the savory sauce. 
However it gotten a bit too salty after more bites, I suggest you tell them to reduce the saltiness/black sauce. 

The porridge was thick and consistent. The way I like. Good if want something to warm your stomach and frog meat is a 'cooling' food type in TCM, cool yourself down perhaps. 
Try them out.
