Singapore Hawker Food at Holland Drive Food Centre

- During my trip to Singapore, one day for lunch I met up with Darius who brought me to Holland Drive Food Centre for hawker food: migrationology.com/2016/01/sin...
There are many many hawker food courts throughout Singapore, and in the Holland Drive area, you’ll find Holland Drive Market and Food Centre, a nice neighborhood style food court with plenty of choices of things to eat. We arrived at lunch time and it was busy, but still manageable and there were plenty of tables. Also, the food centre was nice and friendly. Darius and I split up and start ordering food to bring back to our table. We ordered some yong tau foo, some wanton mee, some braised duck and rice, and some kway chap, and finally a dish that’s known as thunder tea rice which is a vegetarian mixed rice bowl.
The yong tau foo was very good, a seperate bowl of tofu and fish paste dumplings, and another bowl of noodles. The combination was excellent, and I really enjoyed the chili sauce sambal that came on the side. The kway chap, which are noodle sheets with duck and braised duck soup, was also quite tasty with a nice duck flavor, lots of Chinese herbs, and thin soft noodles. But what I thought was possibly even better was the braised duck and rice, a bed of rice topped in slices of braised duck and some duck juice all over the top of that.
Another famous hawker stall to eat at at Holland Drive Food Centre is the thunder tea rice stall - that serves a dish of rice topped in a variety of different vegetables, and finally served with a green tea soup on the side. Overall, it was a little plain tasting for me, but it was a vegetarian dish, but I think it could have used a little chili sauce for extra flavor. Finally for dessert Darius got some chee cheong fun, rice noodle sheets all rolled up and served with a sauce.
Special thanks to Darius and Sarah for inviting us to eat with them in Singapore.
Holland Drive Market and Food Centre

nobody can describe food better than Mark, he is the food tasting king
Mark shows a certain delight every time he speaks about his favourite topic :) His eyes light up, widen, ... he starts to nod his head vigorously, and then when he really likes it, his smile stretches from ear to ear. Watching him eat, you almost feel like you’re tasting the food as well 😆
You are my absolute favorite food channel on TH-cam!! Thank you for all your hard work!
Waking up in the morning to find a vlog from you. That is perfection.
Your videos are much better than most of the other "street food vendors" videos have watched. I like how you explain the dish and the flavors. Keep them coming!
Mark I watch your vídeos of Uzbekistan, Índia, Oman, Turkey, Israel, Jordan, Paquistan, Brasil, Dubai... I loved !!! Hugs from Brasil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
I enjoy having you bring in your audience on as guest.
Its kinda interesting to see who watches your show and what they would take you to.
Love your hawker videos. l hope you do more. Can't wait.
I love you guys vlogs. When I'm feeling kinda blue to see these are a pick me up with the different cultures and nations. I really appreciate you guys respect for your vlog viewers and the cultures. Gotten a lot of ideas for dishes to 😁. Keep it ☝
The kuay chap side dishes are pork skin, intestines, pork belly etc. The duck meat can be added to the kuay chap too. All the dishes you had enjoyed are near to my house. I have been staying there over 40 yrs. Thanks for coming to the market to enjoy the food. If you have chance to come by again, You should try the clay pot rice for lunch. Cheers.
I love your videos, the food looks so good XD I always end up super hungry at the end of your videos. I hope you keep doing good and have fun traveling.
Hi Mark and Ying.
All dishes looked delicious. A Food Centre is great, it has a large selection and you can try different dishes. Duck has a great diversity of taste. I love the taste of duck.
As always a great video.
Mark keep up!!
Always looking forward to your vlogs!
Loving the "where's the head tilt/foodgasm expressions?" comments! It's true that we haven't really seen many while you've been in Singapore.
+SoSheree Those questions are pretty dumb. If there's no head tilt, then there's no head tilt, what's the problem?
Man Great Video bro =). Love watching your videos. i want to travel to many of the places you have been. And don't mind the haters about your expressions, we love watching you
The duck noodles and wanton noodles looked great. Thanks for the upload Mark & Ying
Mark - this is great. Well you know what I have decided amongst other personal reasons to go back to Singapore and find a new job back home. I am missing Singapore and the food too much. I know you will come back again to Singapore soon! For my first 3 months here - I realized that maybe HKG is not for me on a personal level but I pushed on but after 6 months now - I just had to throw in the towel and head home. Thanks for helping me make a tough decision a lot easier. You rock! And keep me in your prayers for a great job back home. God Bless you and Ying!
Mark Wiens... the people's guy. Ive been watching your vids since the last 5 months. I can tell you one thing that everybody's thinking but not saying. Your voice only gives hope to people. It is funny that your vids only can be the biggest influence of me to travel all over SE Asia.
Keep up the great work, and by the name of everything, never ever stop posting new vids.
Greetings,
All the foods seemed delicious! I enjoyed watching!
So many changes around Singapore since we were there - for 2.5 months in 1995 - left right after the big festival with boat racing. Ahhh, miss the people and the foods!
The vegetarian dish didn't really fly with Mark because he didn't do his signature move (closes eyes, drops and tilts his head lower and smiles sublimely, and then opens his eyes widely, exulting at the sensation). One thing I won't try in Singapore then.
I share your videos on twitter after I see them, all the foods look so so delicious, I get so hungry LOL
Singaporeans are so fortunate to have all these kinds of food, really good food, easily accessible to them to eat at very reasonable prices.
My favorite Kway chap store ! And the wanton mee is very popular , there is always people queuing for it .
Man, does that look good!!!! Thanks for sharing Mark.
i hope you went to whampoa market, one of the most underrated places in singapore to go to. there's super spicy la mian (hand made noodles), rojak, braised duck rice with a superbly flavorful chilli sauce and chicken rice (you can get the roasted version). you NEED to go to WHAMPOA market next time you're back! at night there's satay and chicken wings and the best hokkien mee (stir fried prawn noodles) with really good chilli too!
Mark still appreciative even though he doesn't tilt his head...
I would like to correct that Kway Chap is sold usually at braised duck hawker stall, but it is not duck. It is pork belly with pork intestines and skin. It is braised pork with the rice sheets. Kway refers to the rice sheets, and chap means juice/sauce, referring to the braised sauce. Glad u like it. IMO, the best kway chap is located in Lorong Ah Soo Market (Hougang Ave 1) level 2. Think is block 103 or 105.
All of your food presentations were fantastic. Daniel of Chicago.IL.
well done Mark we can visit arround the world and we know where to go for our meals. Keep up good job.
Great video you guys. The wanton noodles looked amazing and full of flavor :-)
Mark, you are a food fighter in this video...
hi Mark , am enjoying your work very much you make me laugh when you take a bite you are so funny. I enjoy the food I was born in Indonesia (surabaja) the food reminds me of when I was in Indonesia. I enjoy everything
Your food travel it all way make me so hungry I like enjoyed watching it thanks mark Wien
thank you for your tubei miss hawker food and singapore dayshave happiness lifes with singaporean
Awww, I was excited that you visited a place where I go to often, but got a little disappointed that the food there didn't seem to wow you. Although I don't think there's any "omg-i-want-to-eat-this-everyday" dishes at Holland Drive food centre, you had definitely missed out some of the better food there, like the fishball noodles and clay pot rice. I feel that those dishes you tried are all "OK" food..
Damn.. Everything looks so good!!
Fan here you and mark have the most unique eating styles
I'm pumped for this
Mark , I would be interested if you did a cooking video channel . Wonderful videos thanks Mark ! I love Asia .
Awesome video Mark like always. My sibling's ad i enjoyed every bit of it. Plz keep visiting such interesting place's ad explore ❤ From India Aisha
Head turn with mouth open = blown away
Head nod, "mmm" = very good
GOOD VIDEO ONCE AGAIN MARK!THE FOOD LOOKS SCRUMPTIOUS AND DELICIOUS!WITH RESPECT ALWAYS MR MOLINA SAN DIEGO CALIFORNIA!
The one ground meat noodle dish with chili oil in the bottom of the bowl reminded me of Dandan noodles Chinese style. I just made your green bean with curry paste recipe and it turned out awesome. Thanks and cheers from N. Cal.
i like mark weins vid because he give a thorough description of the food... Most of the other channels are like * this is _______ and its very delicious
Nice to hear Ying laugh in the background.
hi Mark i used to live in Holland village long time ago and used to go to hawker center. Thanks for showing the street cuisine of Singapore. Next time in France maybe?
I have to laugh because your eyes are just lighting up and every time I think you're going to calm down your face expressions and your eyes just pop alive with every bite of food such a joy to watch. And I hear you back there laughing me Ying.lol lol.
OMG IT ALL LOOKS SO GREAT and Yummy!!!
5:00 that tray looks so good. I love kway chap.
everytime I watch Mark I want to eat I don't eat every time though but damn near every time so I try to Pace myself I can watch him all day long. LOL LOL LOL I have to keep laughing because I know right now I want to go and grab me some ramen noodles! LMAO
Loved this video great work
the claypot rice in the food centre is also fantastic!
Another great video fella. 😊😊😊😊
Your head tilting reaction been missing in this Singapore series, Mark. Whoops. Anyway, great video and good food. As always! :D And as someone suggested. Hope you'll do the Spicy Korean Noodle Challenge! :D
Looks really good. Mark. Makes everyone hungry while you are mixing your rice I have there but complete rtenovated. Before. When it rains. We get wet. Now. The rooftop is one now you can go from one stall to another all kind dads off juices. Hurrah Singapore
Mark I love your facial expressions!!!
Hey Mark, the version of Wanton noodles you tried (egg noodles with black sauce) is my favorite in Singapore. It might not be as well known as some other stalls in around but the springiness of those noodles is 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Looked lovely.
that's looking comforting mark
Lots of food in front of you! Looks like Chowmein Cantonese Chowmein cause there's BBQ pork on top of crispy egg noodle and some of sea food! delicious! as for me i like beef chowmein! Rice serve with soup looks awesome!Btw love ur videos! Mark!
yes, that is d place :) ...My fave there is the stir fried noodles topped with crispy fried egg they wrapped in paper.
I just had to go for supper after watching these vlogs.
Sensates 32w

me too!
I love your videos, nut it would be so nice to test some vegetarian food as well... we are missing it :)
Thank you Darius!
Mark you need to make a t-shirt with all the different faces you make when you eat. With the words; ok, fair, good, great, excellent, and insane. :)
The thunder tea rice isn't something widespread in Singapore. Few places sell it. As a local I don't really like it, but my parents love it.
Yeah.. Me too.. I won't buy. But its a very healthy dish.
I miss Sing much, man!😢.
Thank you for eating a fully vegetarian dish Mark! Nice video. Keep up the hard good work.
great vid!
Mark!!! We miss your expressions! Sorry the food disappointed you :(
that food looked great. wish I could eat there.
Sorry to cut you off but mark wiens has the best O face of all time
For the thunder tea rice, the tea soup should be added to the rice with vegetables to be eaten
Mark, if you're reading this, head to Bedok Corner! and don't forget beach road hawker centre, Get the Bone Steak, it's the best in Singapore! you must try it!
Mike! You should have the chicken rice from Henrys chicken rice which is super close to Holland village! Its my favorite chicken rice in Singapore especially their soup! Its just delicious. You should also try Two Chefs which is around the same market place. Their pretty famous for their cockels and milk powdered pork. Its at commonwealth. Hope you consider :)
THAT IS A LOT OF GOOD FOOD! MIAAAM! 😋😋😋
I love duck it's delicious
Hi Mark n Ying, this is my home town before marriage. Thumbs up!
Nice video
Looks yummy😊😄
Hi Mark, Can I ask what kind of camera you are using? it's super clear and the shots of the food really comes through.
The Duck Rice looked good for a very affordable price.
It's also known as Lui Chaa. The soup is primarily made from basil leaf paste and vegetable stock, not cilantro.

That Duck Dish looks Delish.
The kway chap stall is something like a jack of all trades for food. Too many things to cook and none stands out.
There are just a few stalls that do just the braised duck rice only and they do it very well. Too bad Mark hasn't the time to try every stall so he ends up at such places that' don't have high marks.
Mark is king of food
You should definitely go to "No Signboard" restaurant in Singapore for their Chilli Crab :D
@kookaluv.... Yes i know that...thats why i think he can lead a tour of the food in Thailand !
Wow, I use to eat there I once to stayed near Ghim Moh Road.
Mark! U ordered the Kway Chap from the wrong stall! U should have ordered the one from the stall named Blanco Court 3-4 stalls next to that stall u ordered from. That one is the bomb!
For the thunder tea rice you are suppose to pour all the soup into the rice mix well and eat it but not drink the soup separately
The Lei Cha soup is actually basil soup. The kway chap is mainly pork parts.
watching him eating makes me starving
LOOK'S 😋 DELICIOUS!
Everything with noodles even the dessert
Yummy!!
Yummy...❣💜
I miss the orgasmic expressions, every bite I'm like is mark gonna tilt his head? lmao
ROFL...
U love Indian Food? Then, Check out my NEW Street Food Channel :D
Yes almost orgasmic.
I'm actually behind you!
i think the only food hes really enjoying in spore obviously is the fish head curry.his expression n "head tilting" shows it all.
also the food looks real good
