I not often frequent the underrated Circuit Street Hawker Centre now, nonetheless, I do have patchy recollections of creating morning journeys right here with my household for breakfast rising up. Whereas it was barely inconvenient to get right here up to now, at present, it’s merely a mile away from MacPherson MRT station.
To not be confused with Circuit Street Market & Meals Centre (which additionally has a slew of hidden gems), at present I’ll be uncovering a few my favorite stalls on the hawker centre as a substitute. Unusually sufficient, many at all times get the 2 confused. Living proof: me.
1. Victor Veggie (#01-92)
First up is Victor Veggie. Right here’s the catch, they promote mock meat variations of native dishes. My expertise with mock meat has by no means been a simple one— some locations do it properly, and a few locations spoil it properly. Nevertheless, this stall has acquired loads of raving evaluations. In addition to, Uncle Victor (the stall proprietor) is a real Indie child for advocating vegetarianism earlier than it turned the hype it’s at present.
In an try to make vegetarian choices extra interesting to the locals, Uncle Victor began researching and re-creating meals that’s acquainted to our palates. Commendable effort.
Right here, you could find mock meat Satay (S$10 for 10 sticks), Otah-otah (S$2), Curry Noodles, and even Vegetarian Bak Kut Teh.
If you happen to’re not all in regards to the vegetarian life, head over for his or her Satay. Mock meat or not, satays are all the trend at any meals centre.
