JB Ah Meng Kitchen

532/534 Geylang Rd (Map) 4.45pm – 2am Daily

He began from a dingy little red-light district coffeeshop kitchen, the kind late Anthony Bourdain would and did feature. They all came, including topflight celebrity chefs, for his range of, by now, iconic yet unique and humble street family kitchen fare. Literally every table has their signatures like salted yolk tempura prawns with sweet corn, Sam Lao or flat beehoon (looking like a beehoon noodle pizza), fish skin crisps with Thai mango chilli sauce dip, snake beans with lotus root chips, tempura eggplant, and potatoes, the very moreish white pepper crabs and a lot more, just look around there. The fabulous Ferran Adria once ate and asked boss Ah Meng for the salted yolk tempura prawn recipe and he got a “No” that came with a smile. These are “atm pin number secrets” street chefs hold near and dear to their hearts. They have a World Street Food Award accolade.
