Singapore Favourite Food is scheduled to be held from 12th July 2013 to 21st July 2013 at Bayfront Avenue (Marina Bay). As the name of the event suggests, this year SFF gathers a whole lot of delectable Singaporean fares into one location so that we can savour all under one roof. The 10-day food bonanza, open from 11am to 11pm daily, will showcase 40 different local favourite dishes. 20 of these vendors were selected to participate through a month-long public voting phase.
At this media preview, we sampled local favourites from four of these top-voted vendors.
With 48 years of history since 1965, Mr Edward Koh (stall owner) has been preparing rojak since the age of 20. The term “Rojak” is malay for mixture and the singapore rendition consists of mainly fried dough fritters, bean curds, cucumber and assorted fruits tossed in a sweet thick, spicy peanut sauce.
I have reservations for Ri Ye Xiang’s rojak, it was short of several elements that would make up a good salad. I was not impressed.

Operating Hours:
3pm – 11pm (Daily)
Barbeque Chicken Wings
Gleaming in the lights, the well marinated parts were grilled over charcoal till golden brown on the skin. Finger lickin’ good.
Leng Kee BBQ

Operating Hours:

Salted Egg Pork Ribs
This is a good alternative for those who do not enjoy having their hands dirty with crustaceans (e.g crabs or prawns). I was impressed by the fact that this was prepared by the owner’s son who has been cooking since he was thirteen (now eighteen by the way).
The ribs were meticulously whipped up with fragrant salted egg gravy. Revisits worthy.
Prawn Paste Chicken
More wings.
Served with spicy sambal paste atop the fish, the ray is nicely charcoal grilled. At Yong Kwang, the main topic of the day was the chilli paste which spiced things up for us during the tour.

Jin Jin Desssert
Liu Mang Bing (Gangster Ice®)
If you are curious about the name of this dessert, here goes. The term 榴芒冰 (Liu Mang Bing) is in short for 榴莲芒果冰 (durian & mango ice/Liu Lian Mang Guo Bing), which sounds a lot like the word Gangster in mandarin.
It was interesting and I was glad that I had a chance to try it. The taste was quirky with the absurd duo taking centre stage. It fell short though as the stall has a better contender which is next on the list.
Power Chendol
Tadah! All hail to the almighty Power Chendol.
As one who is obsessed with chendols, I would say the standard here is high. I was mesmerised by the thick, gooey Gula Melaka that tasted a lot like salted caramel. I see you drooling. I would say it might be my favourite Chendol since the last preferred stall in Bedok has long gone wrong.
Jin Jin Hot/Cold Dessert
