The BEST Muah Chee in Singapore!

If you are a self-declared muah chee lover and yet has never tasted the muah chee from our 6th Milestone Simon Road...then you are living in fool's paradise!

There were many excellent hawker and food stalls as I have described in my earlier post on the Simon Road Market.

But for me and likely many old timers, this one stall selling muah chee stood out among the crowd.

The young man in this photo is the son of the original "apek" who was a true specialist at preparing and dishing out this fare. The photo of him at his muah chee stall was not at the Simon Road location. This was when they relocated to Hougang after the Simon Road Market was closed in 1999. I have been to the new location some years ago and the stuff was still very good. In fact, I had a chat with the young man who told me that his father had "retired" from active duty and even he himself was thinking of giving up the art and the business. Of course, I was quite shocked to hear all that.
Why?
Their muah-chee is almost like a Serangoon 6th Mile icon!
You know what most people did when they ate at the old market place? Whether it was dinner or supper...you ordered and ate your main food...congee, kiam chye "ark", Hokkien mee, duck rice, mee-rebus etc. Then invariably, as a side dish, a plate of that famous muah chee was a must! To be eaten there or packed take away.

Those of you who had patronised that stall will recall the love and patient labour displayed by
"apek" as he gently plucked each piece of the muah chee dough and then dipping it in a sort of garlic-onion brownish oil paste, before he enveloped that piece with the peanut coated sugar mix.

Muah Chee anyone?
