Whampoa Hawker Centre Breakfast Trail Part 1

There's a real bustle in the mornings at Whampoa Hawker Centre, especially on weekends. Which you wouldn't get unless you wake up in time to join these queues by 10am! After which, what you do get are the left overs :)



There is a queue for the vegetarian food.
There is a queue for the char kway teow.
There is also a queue for the curry rice!
Queues everywhere, at almost every economical cooked food stall.

Being our first time there (yeah we made great efforts to wake up very early!), Chuck and I chose 545 Prawn Noodles stall as it is one of the stalls without a queue, but alas we were so wrong.



The stall has stacks and stacks of bowls, with raw noodles waiting to be cooked - this is the 'queue' of existing orders. They literally stack up the orders from customers and deliver when it is ready - like 40 minutes later. What's more, this prawn noodle stall has 5 people tending to the stall at one time (count from the picture above)!


My savoury Prawn Bee Hoon. Plate of carrot cake during the long wait for the prawn noodles. And a freshly made you tiao . to feed Chuck's craving. Will be back soon for the handmade ban mian, heard it's very nice!
