After yesterday's disappointment with the 453, Ang Mo Kio Ave 3 fried Hokkien mee, we went to Yi Ji at 805, Hougang Central and try their Hokkien mee. We had been there before and it was delicious but sad to say this time the mee was not as good. It has also raised a small plate (above) from $4 to $5. The cuttle fish and prawn were dried and tasteless. If not for the nice flavoured stock, the dish would have been a disaster.

I had the ice-kachang from the nearby Kopitiam. After a 10% discount (had to use a Kopitiam pre-paid card), it cost $2.25c. This dessert served here is not as good as it should be. These days, the hawker food are of lower standards as compared to the 1950s,60s and 70s. The modern hawkers only care about making money and not very bothered with the quality of the food they sell. I have come across Bangladeshis selling Chinese food and China men making roti prata. Therefore, one should not expect the hawker fare to be as good as say from Malaysia.
