7 Popular Hawker Stalls at Yuhua Village Market & Food Centre

Today, we’re bringing you on a gastronomical experience in the West, specifically at Yuhua Village Market & Food Centre. Here are 7 crowd-pleasing hawker stalls that draw huge crowds in the day, as well as, at night.

Neo BBQ

Owner Mdm Neo purchases the freshest seafood from her usual suppliers. The stingray ($12 small / $15 regular / $17 large) is first placed on a grill and covered with a lid to retain its moisture before being transferred to a hotplate placed over a charcoal stove. Dollops of fiery sambal chili is then slathered over the stingray before it’s served to us sizzling hot. Other dishes such as BBQ squid, prawns, and vegetables are available as well.

Xiang Ji Cooked Food

This stall only open in the mornings, and you’ve to be prepared to brave the queue. The Sliced Fish Porridge ($2.50 / $3 with egg) is topped with you tiao, spring onions, shallots, coriander, and preserved vegetables to enhance its fragrance. The porridge isn’t watery, nor is it too thick. The Century Egg Lean Meat Porridge ($3 / $3.50 with egg) is my favourite porridge here. Don’t forget to complete your porridge with an egg!

Fei Fei Roasted Noodle

This wanton mee stall has been run by Tommy and his wife for more than 40 years. They are famous for their roasted meat which they still roast in the stall using charcoal fire. They used to sell sio bak which was highly raved about, but as age has caught up with Tommy, Fei Fei only sells roast duck and char siew now. Each tender piece of char siew has enough charred bits to make you go for more. It has a good proportion of fat and lean meat, and every bite is super juicy. Go early if you want the premium cuts.

Seng Huat Homemade Fried Carrot Cake

Look no further if you’re a fan of traditional carrot cake. The stall whips up a delicious plate of carrot cake which is not too greasy to stomach. Freshly prepared daily, the carrot cake is cut into big chunks as compared to smaller and evenly cut cubes manufactured by factories. Each plate is fried with a generous amount of eggs. Best part? Each plate is reasonably priced between $2 to $3.

CAI (财) Hor Fun

This stall sells a variety of hor fun. The beef hor fun ($4) consists of generous portion of beef slices laying atop soft kway teow strands, and the dish is complete with a rich starchy gravy. The gravy has a hint of sweetness that balances out its savouriness, but we would have loved a stronger wok hei.

West Coast Arifin Ali

This hawker serves prata from 4am in the morning, and only starts serving mains such as nasi biryani after 1pm. There are chicken and mutton biryani available, and each plate costs $6. To be honest, the dish is a tad disappointing. The meat is tough and dry, and the gravy tastes mediocre. We probably went for the wrong dish. We would pop by for their prata next time!

Qing Xiang Cooked Food

Despite the not so desirable attitude of the grumpy uncle and aunty tending this stall, we noticed many customers having their fried hokkien mee ($3.50) and pork ribs soup ($5). The former definitely fares better than the latter. The Hokkien Mee here is done KL-style, with a dark black sauce. This slurpworthy plate was devoured within minutes. The bak kut teh, on the other hand, was too bland for our liking.

Don’t confuse this food centre with the other one located at Yuhua Blk 347. We might not be experts when it comes to good food in the West, but we still try our best to find hidden gems. If there’s a good stall you wish to recommend, feel free to comment and share with us!
