Kovan food centre- lots of cheap n good food!

Kovan food centre

Ventured to heartland mall today..
and just outside the mall there's this hawker centre that sells many many food and cheap! like around $3. Why like around these places the eats are cheaper than west, or isit I seldom explore other parts of SG.

Kovan mrt along the purple line. It's like I haven't even heard of this place before haha.
been here once, last time queued for the famous bar chor mee. it was damn good! the fishballs were really FISH taste haha.

MMM.. actually wanted smth light today, thinking of vegetarian mi fen
but ended up at some teochew mixed rice store.
There was quite a queue there. I thought it's smth special like "teochew" style dishes I seldom try.
And I saw an uncle bought porridge and a decent looking fish I was like OOH shall try!

It's pretty normal mixed rice, nothing fanciful. BUT it really tasted good and not salty and loaded with MSG like those in teck whye. The eggplants was soo soft tender, and beans too. they cook it with basic black bean sauce but it was flavourful enough!
Though still oily like normal mixed rice but the taste is better than norm.

Ordered fish. damn it's $3 haha.
total $5.50 not so economical hehe.
It was cod fish or smth. I like how it's just nice cooked. very tender inside.
And they sell steam fish quite special.

Decent but not taste like heaven food.
tht said, it's mixed rice haha.

did a quick research seems like fishball noodles and kway chap most famous here!
