50A Marine Terrace Market — Restaurant in Singapore

Decided to head down to this quiet but at the same time lively old folks town to try out the recent trendy matcha shop that is located within the market called Corner Shop.

There are a lot of food choices to choose from, and I decided to eat the mee pok from 132 traditional teochew mee pok ($4, $5, $6) there. The noodles are quite springy and chewy with a nice kick of spice from the chili. 4/5 as the noodle felt a bit too floury, kinda feels a little undercooked, but nonetheless, it still tasted good.

For drinks, I got the Ice Matcha Latte ($5.50 + $0.1 for takeaway). The matcha was traditional hand whisk with the cha sen and matcha bowl. The taste, astringency, and mouthfeels wise are okay to me as there are much better matcha places out there, but for the price point of $5.50, I felt it was good enough as it is in the hawker centre so no complains on that. They do sell traditional nan yang coffee too from Yong Seng, a traditional nan yang coffee distributor in singapore. Will try it next time if I have the chance to.

Verdict : I would go back again if I'm near the area but won't specifically make my way down if im from...

This food centre has quite a few good stalls like Wanton noodle, congee, carrot cake, nasi padang etc. However, the stalls close after 2 or 3pm, except the congee stall which closes at about 9.30-10am.(Yes, they are that good!) The exception is a fish ball soup stall which closes at night. The Mee pok and fish soup are quite good. However, be warned if their helper is a young PRC as she tends to mess up customers' order because she is easily confused with a bad memory. On several occasions, she would forget to pack your rice if you order fish soup with rice, so you are left with an incomplete meal at home. Sometimes, customers have to repeat several times as she keeps relating the wrong order to the boss who prepares the food, so you have to be around this female helper to make sure she's not messing up your orders. Another down side, there are too many birds there and you find bird droppings on the tables and seats which is super disgusting...

28 Mar 2022: You have plenty of choices for freshly made chee cheong fun from YONG HUAT DELIGHT…the turnip filling came out well for me and it goes well with the savory sauce. They also served pretty good porridge…smooth comfort food.

09 Feb 2022: TASTE OF TRADITION…nice flavorful Hokkien mee; great taste and loaded with ingredients (the sambal is a little weak…I prefer to have more kick). The oyster omelette is nice too; not too oily and it’s crispy on the outside but soft inside…Yummy!

27 Nov 2021: Packed with nice choices and I ordered lontong from OLE OLE BUMBU. Very satisfying breakfast......super shiok, rich and creamy gravy, top up with anchovy sambal and serunding. Yummy comfort food and the best...
