Simply Eunos

With Names of Towns and Roads in Singapore named after famous people back in the earlier part of Singapore’s history, I was not surprised to know that EUNOS, the town I am visiting was also named after the Chairman and co-founder of the Singapore Malay Union (Kesatuan Melayu Singapura).

His name - Mr Muhammad Eunos Abdullah whom was also the first Malay in the Legislative Council, the then governing body of Singapore.

 

I had a long way back with Eunos as a town that saw some parts of my childhood created here too!

I remembered that I visited Eunos at least once a month to catch up on Bak Kut Teh. The coffeeshop was situated beside the MRT station and I was surprised to see the stall after so many years!

The time spent at the coffeeshop having the bowl of Bak Kut Teh had brought me back to the days of mid-90s. Although being a simple dish, it brings out the peppery sensation and the meat is tender if you order the pork ribs and it makes a perfect pair with ‘You Tiao’ dipped in the soup. Complement with some braised pig trotters and a pot of tea makes a perfect meal.

It was only recently that I started visiting the hawker centre at the other side of the station. I was never a fan of Lor Mee but was caught off guard when I was recommended to a stall in the centre.

The stall name is FU CHUN and number is #01-25. I was surprised to see a very long queue and spotted a friend of mine. He told me that the ‘Chap’ was not salty and the meal balls was a must order. I was skeptical at first and I kept reservations while joining the queue.

I have never looked back since and religiously joins the queue whenever I am in the vicinity. What is special about this dish is undoubtly the meat balls which are very crispy on the outside with generous fillings. It is not very big in size and always makes me order just 1 plate alone.

 

Moving onwards in this series of Food ‘K’ Maestro visits Eunos, I will be heading by a couple of hawker stalls recommended by Simply Eunos.sg.

Keep a lookout in the upcoming weeks and feel free to drop me any recommendations before I embark on my next write-up. Lifestyle, Historical Landmarks are also welcome!
