Fujian Shaxian Snacks at Chai Chee Village, Singapore

Fuding Meat Slices, Dumplings, and Noodles

We stopped at the Chang Cheng Mee Wah kopitiam in Bedok for dinner tonight and this stall looked the most interesting given its emphasis on food from Sanming in China (209 New Upper Changi Road). I wasn't really sure where that was, to be honest, but it is in Fujian province, inland from Putian. I guess that explains why the food reminded me of Hing Hwa cuisine, with its light yet savory dishes.

That soup above was composed of both some small dumplings as well as some minced meat/flour pieces not unlike the meat found in a thick geng soup. The noodles had an earthy shallot taste. Best of all, they had two types of chili sauce, including not just a sour one, but also a cumin-centric one. I suspect that the latter wasn't really local to Fujian though.
