Once in a while I would crave for a Malay dish called lontong. The stall that sells spicy and yummy lontong is at the Kovan hawker center. There are 2 Malay stalls are next to each other but the best lontong is the stall on your left. $3.50 is all you have to pay like the one above which I had this morning.
In the afternoon, I went to Nex Mall at Serangoon bus Interchange and had my lunch over there. It was 3 pm and so there was a 20% discount on all main courses (from 3 pm till 5 pm on weekdays only). I had the steak with 2 huge prawns and spaghetti plus a plate of Caesar's salad. The damage was $24!

Lunch@ home and meeting@ Kovan

Instead of attending my school cohorts lunch, I had mine at home. Moreover, I attended the get together with the SIA/SATS retirees which I consider more relaxing than with my school cohorts.
The former was held at 313@ Somerset while the latter was at Kovan which is nearer to my home.

Hawker was flattered

The hawker whom I ordered the above food told me it was too much for me to consume. I told him I could eat quite a lot and besides, my friend recommended me his food. He was elated and happy with the compliment. In actual fact, the food was cooked Teochew-style and it was delicious and not expensive. I paid $5.50 for this lunch and was worth it.

Prawn mee day

This prawn mee at Kovan Station hawker center perpetually has a long queue of customers. I was curios and joined the queue this morning. It took 20 minutes before I got my number 4 pork ribs prawn mee ($5). I was a bit disappointed because I thought it must have been fantastically yummy judging by the long queue of customers. Won't say it wasn't nice but not worth the waiting/queuing time.

Not satisfied with the prawn mee at Kovan, we went to Serangoon Central for another prawn mee in the evening. This one is only $3.50 and a little better than the one at Kovan. Besides, there was no queue and the hawker served us instead of the "self-service" type at Kovan.

Lontong for lunch

Lontong is one of my favourite Malay dishes. I had this plate of lontong ($3) at the Kovan hawker center for lunch. It wasn't fantastic but quite nice except that the rice dumplings were a little hard. The boiled egg wasn't as fresh, I thought. Overall, many won't mind eating this lontong because it is quite cheap.
