Min Ji Laksa 民记叻沙 is a stall located in Bendemeer Market and Food Centre selling only 2 items, Laksa and Mee Rebus.
Both dishes are highly raved about in the internet sphere.
Since I seldom come to this area, I went straight for the most expensive, $5 laksa. I arrived at around 11.45 and there was already a queue at the stall.
The Laksa was packed with ingredients; hard boiled egg, shredded chicken meat, cockles, slices of fish cake and tau pok with a handful of beansprouts. My default choice of noodles for laksa is always thick beehoon.Min Ji Laksa 民记叻沙 (Bendemeer Market and Food Centre)

They have recently increased the price of their Hor Fun from $5 to $6, a 20% increase. This is the plight of rising costs (gas, utilities, ingredients, manpower etc) for business owners and even hawkers. Currently, $6 is quite unheard of for Hor Fun at a hawker centre. But I believe that it will be the norm within a few more months due to stagflation.
Although the queue was long, it moved fast as the Hor Fun ingredients were already prepared and they were constantly frying fresh batch of smoking hot Hor Fun.
$6 Hor Fun with Beef |
I ordered the $6 Hor Fun with Beef.
I was surprised that they were still so generous with the ingredients. To be frank, I was glad that they increased the price and maintained the portion, quality and taste. Unlike some businesses that decrease portion and increase price.
$6 Hor Fun with Beef |
Back to the Hor Fun with Beef, it looks so simple and dull, yet they totally nailed it in terms of taste. The Hor Fun was well fried with strong aroma of wok hei. The brown sauce provided contrasting flavours that alternated between smokey and caramelised flavours. I also noticed that they really used hor fun (wide flat rice noodles). Some places, they use kway teow (llong and thin flat rice noodles) for their hor fun. The beef slices were oh-so tender and soft!
I love their hor fun and will certainly continue to patronise them!

$5 Laksa |
Although I reached just before 12pm, there was already a queue of around 10 pax in front of the stall. It has the longest queue at the hawker centre. The queue moved very slowly because the uncle was the only one taking order, cooking and collecting the payments.
I ordered the $5 Laksa (with cockles), which is the biggest portion available. May as well right since I had to queue more than 30 minutes and had been waiting for try this for years.
$5 Laksa |
The laksa came with thick bee hoon, hard boiled egg, beansprouts, fishcake, tau pok, cockles, laksa leaves and sambal chilli. The laksa broth is rich, only a little spicy and more on the savoury end, with a slight hint of hae bee hiam. You will need to mix the sambal chilli in or even ask for more chilli if you want a spicy and stronger hae bee hiam taste.
The star here was the cockles. The cockles were so fresh and oh so big, plump and juicy!! Shiok lah. It is hard to get such big cockles these days.Really glad that I got to try this laksa at last after so many years! Do give it a try if you are around the area!

Having stayed in Yishun nearly all my life, I was surprised to see a few photos showing the same food from Instagram. Curiosity got the better of me and when I clicked the location geo tag, I noticed that the stall was located in Yishun.
The stall called Chef Wai Hometown Noodle is located at Blk 461 in Yishun. The owners are husband and wife. The menu offers Signature Seafood Pork Noodle, Pork Noodle, Meat Ball Noodle and even Bitter Gourd Pork Noodle.
I ordered the most expensive item on the menu, which is the Signature Seafood Pork Noodle (dry) which cost $6.50. Interestingly, it comes with an onsen egg on top of the noodles, which gave the noodles, a creamy and silky texture when they are well mixed.
The bowl of cloudy soup was definitely the differentiating factor that makes this stall stands out. It was robust, flavourful and full of ingredients. It came with two deshell crunchy prawns, two squid rings, two meatballs, minced meat patty and slices of lean meat, fishcake and cabbage.
The minced meat patty was unique in terms of taste, it taste as though powdered dried sole fish was added in it. I liked the soup so much that I finished the whole bowl of soup.Chef Wai Hometown Noodle (Blk 461 Yishun)

Tiramisu Souffle Pancake RM 19 |
I was looking at the location of Atlantis Residences, the airbnb where we were staying and the places nearby. That was when I stumbled upon The Old Mark Cafe, which had good reviews and was just a 8 minutes walk (or 3 minutes car ride) away.
We visited on a Monday afternoon at 1.40pm. Despite the timing, the cafe was full and there was a group in front of us. We waited around 15 minutes for a table as we had a big group (nine persons). Be prepared to wait 30 to 60 minutes during peak hour. Ordering was done over the counter and I was glad that I could use YouTrip to make payment.
Old Mark Big Breakfast RM 27 |
This was the Old Mark Big Breakfast RM 27 which consisted of chicken ham, salad, sauteed mushroom, hashbrown and scrambled egg with toast bread. It was quite decent with all the right notes in terms of taste. Scrambled egg was perfectly cook, not overcooked.
Whites Nutty Souffle Pancake RM 19 |
The Old Mark Cafe is popular for their signature Souffle Pancake. You cannot visit this cafe without trying them. Their Souffle Pancakes were soft, fluffy, light and wobbly. Taste wise they were not overly sweet and literally melt in the mouth. This was the Whites Nutty Souffle Pancake RM 19 with homemade white chocolate sauce, walnut and butter crumb. Despite looking so plain looking, it was delicious and tasty.
The other Souffle Pancake we tried was the Tiramisu Souffle Pancake RM 19, with homemade cream sauce, lady finger soaked with daily espresso and butter crumb. Taste wise this was oh so good too.
The other items that we ordered which I did not managed to try are below. I heard that they were not bad.
Butter Garlic Chicken Rice Bowl RM 20 |
The Butter Garlic Chicken Rice Bowl RM 20 consisted of deep fried chicken thigh with butter garlic sauce and corn.
Teriyaki Salmon Rice Bowl RM 24 |
Teriyaki Salmon Rice Bowl RM 24 came with teriyaki salmon cube and tobiko, carrot, corn and zucchini slices.
Hojicha Latte (Hot) RM 13 |
Overall, I was so glad that we visited The Old Mark Cafe. Ambience, food presentation and taste was fantastic. The younger generation will love this especially the Souffle Pancake which are so IG worthy.
