Chinatown Food Street is a conceptual dining project undertaken by
Select Group to revive the heritage food street in Singapore's
Chinatown. Located at the end of Smith Street Chinatown (towards
South Bridge Road), it's rejuvenation and facelift was completed in
2014. While maintaining the traditional look, it also create a
comfortable environment to enjoy Singapore Street Food.

As part of Singapore tradition, it is common for us to visit
Chinatown in preparation to celebrate Chinese New Year festival.
Street vendors will set up their stalls in Temple street, selling
Chinese New Year items from snacks, biscuits, peanuts, flowers,
decorations and etc. Along North Bridge road, you can see decorative
Chinese Zodiac, and this year the Goat take the centre stage. Most of
the stalls open until very late, so everyone can take their time to
shop or just to experience the atmosphere.

| Chinatown Food Street - Open till Late |
Since
the Chinatown Food Street re-open in 2014, this place actually
provide a good place to rest and refresh, grab some food while we can
continue our shopping. The opening hours are usually open until 11pm
but during the festival seasons it will open until 2AM in the morning
(the late hours will last until 18th
February 2015 – CNY Eve).
For those who wants to tuck in to local flavours, you will have 24
hawker stalls to chose from. Starting from Char Kway Teow, Satay,
Chicken Rice and even to Chilli Crab. Of course not to be miss during
this special occasion, Yu Sheng will be available from Chinatown Crab
Master from $28 for small portion and $38 for large portion). With a
seating capacity of more than 650 people (and 800 people during CNY
period), you won't have any problem finding a seat.

So what are Chubby Botak Koala's pick from the stalls (base on 12
stalls and competition)
Yu Sheng (from
Chinatown Crab Master). Not only it was fresh and crunchy, the
mixture of all the ingredients has a nice balance and flavour to it.
Although we have to mix the ingredients by ourself, it still taste
quite good.

Fried Bee Hoon and Prawn Fritter
(from Chong Chong Ngoh Hiang Prawn Fritter). The fritters are crispy
and crumble in your mouth. The fried fishball is springy (qq) and the
fried bee hoon is tasty, and has a good bite into it.

Chicken Rice
(from Bugis Street Famous Hainanese Chicken Rice). A Singapore
national dish and comfort food for most of us. The rice is fragrant
and cooked to al-dente. The chicken is tasty, springy and flavourful.
The skin separated nicely from the meat, springy and complement the
tender chicken meat nicely.
