I've heard of so many stories about what I will find in Bedok, being one of the oldest Singaporean residential township and all.
And I've been moving around from one bus stop to another via Tampines, looking for the good stuff.
On this particular trip, I've found one of the best herbal mutton soup after alighting bus 69 at the Bedok North Interchange.
This is one of my favourites in Singapore, so far: New World Mutton Soup.
The soup is no doubt potent, but not too strong on herbs. It's just enough to complement the aromatic mutton ribs, tripes, mutton balls and tendons. You will also enjoy the prominent taste of liquorice roots that leaves a tantalising aftertaste.
And you can have this with rice, or as it is.
Right next door to the New World Mutton Soup stall, you'll probably notice a long queue most of the time.
That will be the place where you can get the famous Bedok Chwee Kueh (Water Cake) that melts in your mouth, and in your hands. Malaysians will know this appetising side dish or dessert as Woon Chye Kou (Bowl Cake).
