hungry souls

No, I'm not talking about hungry ghost festival. Eating supper seems to be something habitual to Singaporeans. One can easily pop by a 24hr coffeeshop or prata place to beat their late night hunger pangs. Even Mc Donald's is now 24/7. However, I was pretty intrigued to find a foodstall that only opens at midnight. And interestingly, you'll spot a queue on most nights. I have to find out what is it that their business has been running 顺顺利利 (smoothly) for years.

Shunli Niang Toufu is located in Bukit Merah View Market. You won't miss it because it's the only stall that's lit up at such wee hours.



The choice of ingredients is regular. I believe the secret of its success lies in the stock, and the chilli sauce. Served in a 555 stainless steel bowl, the food did not look appetizing at all. But with a sip of the soup flavoured with green chilli paddies and ikan bilis, that didn't really matter. (It was really dark anyway.) It was very tasty. The ordinary ingredients also tasted extraordinary with the special sauces. If you think niang tofu is boring, I beg to differ.



I really don't mind having a healthy supper.
