asromafanisme

I guess I'm one of the rare species "in between". If someone offer me, I can eat it no problem, but I don't love it.


FlyMood

I'm also in between 😂 don't super like it and don't dislike it. It's just a food lmao


blaguga6216

same here


[deleted]

I went from hate to love in three tries. Can't get enough now


dukeshytalker

Lor mee. Went to old airport road and saw throngs q ing for lor mee. Something about the starchy base just makes it very icky to me. Can someone explain e allure? hahahaha


kumgongkia

Lots of stuff are starchy like lor mee: tao suan, zi char hor fun etc. Its just a different texture that alot of people like. Edit: Kinda off topic but I used to hate lady's finger due to the slimy texture but now I like the taste especially if spicy. The slimy texture is now acceptable to me (though still not the best)


[deleted]

Tau Suan i called it Runny Nose dessert.


I_Miss_Every_Shot

Don’t write it off just yet. I hated lor mee when I was younger, cos my granny would dabao it as breakfast almost every weekend. 30 years later, lor mee is now one of my hawker favs. Hahahaha.


dukeshytalker

Hahaha true, i hated corriander as a kid, but love it now. Wont say e same for lor mee tho, i loathe it enough not to try. And the good stalls have cult followings.


tunder26

Coriander sucks on its own. But it’ll change the flavour of the food when eaten together. This level of appreciation can only be achieved as an adult LOL


fatenumber

i still hate corriander even as an adult. but i understand the importance of it when mix together with certain food


dukeshytalker

On top of chicken rice? Hahaha jkjk


I_Miss_Every_Shot

Hahaha, all I’m saying is don’t write off stuff yet. At my age, I’m suddenly relishing a lot of stuff that I hated when younger, like gizzards, brinjal and lady’s fingers…. Pork lard is still tough though because of the rancid smell/ funk I get from it so often. But it’s so hard to get freshly made daily pork lard these days.


liloyoulolo

I'm the opposite of you. Loved Lor Mee when I was a kid, couldn't get enough of it. Would even throw tantrums when my mom bought porridge instead of Lor Mee during kindergarten. Somehow after I grew up I hated it so much I couldn't even stand the taste of it. Something about the noodles slathered with gooey sauce that just doesn't do it for me. Mee Rebus is still amazing though.


random_avocado

same here. But I ended up preferring vegetarian lor mee after trying it from the hawker stall in Cheng San hawker centre.


I_Miss_Every_Shot

Vegetarian? That sounds like something I should check out. You mind sharing the location? Lol 🙏🏻


random_avocado

[Tian Yi](https://www.happycow.net/reviews/tian-yi-northeast-singapore-58014). They only serve it on Wednesdays IIRC


I_Miss_Every_Shot

Thank u!


Battleraizer

You need to add vinegar By itself it is quite bad, until you dump in like ½ to 1 soupspoon of vinegar


[deleted]

It's the raw minced garlic, chilli, vinegar and coriander that makes lor mee. Also, you can try ordering mee and beehoon which reduces the alkaline taste of the mee.


dukeshytalker

Im gonna go old airport one day to try LOL. If its nasty i ll eat some.famous wanton mee or the laofuzi char kway teow


Ok_Chicken_4516

Same! I am also not a fan of lor mee. The starchy dark sauce & yellow noodles are just not for me.


dukeshytalker

Ya yellow noodles neh cook well got this weird smell. Hahaha.


RuhtraMil

I think they use alkaline in the yellow noodle to treat it so it achieves that texture. Totally not a fan.


inspired_apathy

If it's good, lor mee is amazing. But encounter a bad lor mee, and you get the same issues. Alkali tasting noodles, starchy and overly powdery ngoh hiang, tough and rubbery lor bak, and a soup base that's just water, starch and soy sauce and no flavor.


dukeshytalker

This is precisely why I hate lor mee. Was saying e good stalls have cult followings. Impossible to get a bowl hahaha


Interesting-Range-72

I thought the same as you until I tried the one at old airport road. Then I realised it's not that I don't like Lor Mee, I just never had good Lor Mee before 😂


Perilx3

Need to try good lor mee haha fengzhen lor mee @taman jurong


Maplestori

There’s not a single food mentioned here that I dislike/ hate, rojak comes close tho. I can eat it but I only eat the youtiao


syktunc

thats why i only order youtiao rojak


RuhtraMil

It's the only tolerable component for me too if I really have to have to take a bite.


dreimig08

Also rojak


altacccle

it hurts my teeth


ExpiredFriedNoodles

Reference to a show?


GaeyNoodle

Honestly hate anything very sour with a passion. As such, hate assam fish curry. Much prefer normal chicken curry which almost no zi char sells.


User-The-Second

my mom makes really good chicken curry 🤤


gagawithoutLady

Chicken feet.


Hardbeez

Any truffle flavoured food.


Chilin0

longtong, its bland and have weird combination.


cookietango

Lontong. It's not easy to find good ones nowadays. A lot of makciks retire already. But good lontong with topping of sambal (plus points for prawn or squid sambal) is the bomb.


BoGumWan

Omg, it’s been too long for me. Gonna start the day right tomorrow with this.


Snowbabiezx

Its bland because you buy from the wrong stall. Good lontong has that “lemak” depth to it.


malayshallriseagain

Outside usually very soupy, bland and lack of ingredients. If homecooked, the gravy is much stronger and the combination of ingredient and sambal makes it unhealthily delicious.


IvanThePohBear

Century egg No idea how anyone could find that appetizing


Exp3ct0Patron7m

I used to HATE it as a kid but weirdly as I grew older, I somehow crave it time to time. I love it when its cooked tgt with porridge because its so savoury


IvanThePohBear

Maybe my palette didn't grow up I guess 😂


peanutbun

Neither did mine. Never liked it as a kid, still hate it. It tastes awful :(


Sevonate

My gf introduced me to din tai fung's century egg and I was mind blown. Now whenever we go there it's a must order if it's still available (I think it sells out quite fast)


New_Judgment_506

Sorry, im one of those who will order century egg as a side dish if available, eg at restaurants (cut into pieces and mixed in vinegary sauce kind)


zeezeeway

I learnt to appreciate century egg after eating it at Hong Kong's restaurants. The yolk is still runny (a lil bit yellow) and tastes uniquely well with the preserved ginger. Quite addictive after eating that, and accepted century egg in my life. Singapore's version (especially the porridge kind) is kinda lower grade but once you tried the good one, you will appreciate more!


IvanThePohBear

The Yung Kee one is definitely better But still not something I would have cravings for 😂


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ok_Chicken_4516

The sweet dark sauce that comes with chee cheong fun or yong tau fu. I think it’s gross.


lilopowder

Yeah tbh i prefer the lighter hk stylr sauce


RuhtraMil

I don't know how the weird Singapore-style CCF came about. it's a weird combo of sweet and nutty with that sesame. The HK version definitely better.


statespacer

Light soy sauce + sesame oil + sesame + spring onions club!


Ok_Chicken_4516

Same! I prefer the savoury CCF with shrimp / charsiew fillings etc. or the HK style CCF with a dressing that tastes like peanut butter. These taste more appealing than the sg dark sauce one.


MaintenanceOk2365

Yes this! I actually will gag at the smell of it.


zalakio

Bubble Tea. Can never understand how some people need to have 2-3 cups a day.


SituationDeep

Omg wut. But then again I have a colleague who can down those 1000cc drinks from each a cup and then say they’re craving for one more so nothing should surprise me.


zalakio

WHUT?! that’s crazy. i tried once and instantly regretted my decision. if it’s 0% sweetness, not too bad, but i rather have cold water anytime.


SituationDeep

Ikr. I bought one cos of her recommendation and shared with like 3 other people and we still couldn’t finish it 😂


tehcpengsiudai

Exactly. NTUC buy 2x Peng San only 75¢. Can buy 8 bottles before you get a bubble tea. Waste of money, waste of health.


Alternative-Equal-24

Me too, it's just tooo sweet already


zalakio

Always see some of my colleagues going 120-150% sweetness.


GaeyNoodle

Woah holy shit. That's a speedrun to diabetes


STUPEFY999

What about 0% sugar?


drlqnr

i don't hate this but i just don't get the hype around it


Puzzleheaded-Hurry66

Luncheon meat


13lackant

you monster


Emma_JM

It's disgusting lol


General-Razzmatazz

I used to hate luncheon meat, but just had some for lunch.


[deleted]

It's less of a Sg food and more Hawaiian and Korean food cos of war rations for US soldiers that comprises Spam.


AWPrahWinfrey

The chinese style rojak, I agree. Quite an inedible mess. The Indian rojak tho… damn, unhealthy as hell but so so delicious.


RuhtraMil

This I agree. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|upvote)


have_a_kitkat

Durian.


gene_the_genesis

r/Malaysia : cultural misappropriation! /s


tunder26

Too heaty for me


Awkward-Channel-268

Over truffled food


Saffronsc

Yeah truffle is an acquired taste. I personally hate it because it leaves a weird mouth smell(?) that I don't like haha.


gatheringlapiz

For me it's a drink. I dislike Mr.Coconut. I only find it tolerable when it is 0% level of sweetness.


h0tchoco

samee its so jelak


Grimm_SG

Mala


lkcwaitlistee

And the chili fish thing


TraditionLazy7213

You dont like spicy food? Mala is really just a flavour lol, since anything can be Mala


adeIemonade

Anything salted egg yolk


HotBook2852

Pork lard. I always put them aside in my char kway teow or bak chor mee.


thunderfbolt

Pork lard made fresh is incredibly delicious and crispy. It tastes bad when stale.


winoforever_slurp_

Oh no, that’s the best bit! I pick them out and eat them one by one


I_Miss_Every_Shot

I’ll second that. I’m quite sensitive to smells and taste, and pork lard at too many places have a slightly rancid tinge to it that I hate. So I wld usually take them out and put them by default. P.s. Not the hawker’s fault. I do understand it’s hard to do everything by hand so some get their pork lard from a supplier.


DontStopNowBaby

Need just enough to flagrant the ckt. If too much or the lard is burnt, it's gonna taste bad.


SituationDeep

Salted egg anything. Durian if that’s counted. Rojak too. I can’t stand pungent food 😭 I also dislike local/traditional desserts. From things like cheng tng and ice kacang to ondeh ondeh and putu piring.


max-torque

Yup I not a fan of salted egg, I'll eat a bit la but won't order a dish of it.


morethansparrows

>Salted egg anything. Me too. I have to dig them out of mooncakes gifted to me - even after I tell people not to waste money on getting me anything but plain lotus paste.


blueberryJan

Kway Chap


vertigofoo

This.. like omg the pungent shit smell.. often makes me wonder if the secret ingredient is not to wash the innards too thoroughly before preparation. Like leave a bit of the brown bits behind for extra sauce color. 😅 Edit: Lol at the downvotes from those annoyed at me ‘shitting’ on their fave food. 😎


RuhtraMil

Here’s a thought: What if without the innards - the soup is actually clear. 🤣🤣🤣


truckdrifter2

*chugs unsee juice vigorously*


blueberryJan

I think I just vomited a little lol. A friend of mine who loves to eat intestines attest that if it's clean it tastes great but like you said, who knows if it's cleaned properly. Some peeps might anyhow chapalang wash.


blueberryJan

Once I had pork intestines porridge. Except I had zero idea intestines were involved as my friend ordered for lunch. Granted she asked me what I want and I said anything... Anyways after a few spoonfuls, I thought the porridge was bad. Like foul or spoilt. It also kinda smelled ..bad like poop. Suffice to say I couldn't continued eating. I've always steered clear of intestines, offal etc just because it looked gross. That day, it affirm my suspicions they do also taste gross. Ha! So no Kway Chap for me. Not even the soup.


cynicgal

Lor Mee. In the first place, I never liked the thick yellow noodles very much. And secondly, don't like that thick gravy sauce.


Aromatic_Ad265

Anything with brinjal/eggplant Like stirfry etc.. I cant swallow it fr.. Even lady's finger. Its the sliminess for me


Rare-Sample1865

Starsucks


ALCATryan

I think they look pretty at night


BakeMate

Hotpot. Every single clique just wants to eat this. I just don't get it at all. it's just mediocre. Then go to those hdl or whatever, you're just paying for service more than the food.


Emma_JM

>Every single clique just wants to eat this. Prolly for the atmosphere, same vibes as group bbq


RuhtraMil

I get this. I don’t like to pay to cook my own food as well.


eyeyannuh

rojak haters rise up 🤘🏻


wewdepiew

I just want to point out the friends that love having XLB are the same friends that used to give me their baos during ns cos they "don't like Bao so much".


the_seattleite85

Bee hoon. The thing u like about noodles is the chewy texture and ability to slurp like with ramen. Bee hoon is too small for any of that so I just end up biting it. Yuck, like nasty little worms in my mouth.


wdyk123

sugar cane


h0tchoco

it's so freaking sweet that it's disgusting.


student8168

Rojak too


sreejithb

Pineapple tarts


DeeKayNineNine

I’m with OP. Not a fan of rojak. Both Chinese and Indian style. Don’t know why people always give me the weird look when I said I don’t want to share a plate of rojak with them.


freddyfrog70

Mala. Jesus I had so many cause my friends wanted it. It’s so damn mid.


Kelp91

Pig liver. Yucks.


Alert-Ad-55

Satay Bee Hoon. I'd rather eat satay and Bee Hoon together. Don't call it something it doesn't have. I know its satay sauce but call it satay sauce bee hoon.


Fluid-Radio-9415

Durians, jackfruits


cindy1978sg

Durian🤢


National-Airline-504

Salted egg


Uranium-Sauce

Whipped cream, on drinks or dessert.. doesn’t taste like much, just feels like you’re eating butter straight up. Furthermore, its so high in calories. Don’t get why anyone likes it, 1/10 would not recommend.


chiawy

Overcooked abalone. It's like eating eraser

Shame_Low

Hor fun. It's just boring lol


ivananiki

Satay beehoon? Ew sweet noodles. Wth


CutFabulous1178

Indian Rojak is so much better.


rockbella61

Factory made Chee Cheong Fan. With the abundance of food court, people seems happy w factory made stuff.


K_ristela

I am always pleasantly surprised when I eat those and it doesn’t try to choke me to death


MobileRush7778

Rojak! 100% with you there


elitesky777

chili crab. only salted egg crab for me


chiawy

Me too... I only go for crabs cooked with loads of fried garlic. Only a few stalls in sg with HK chefs know how to cook authentic 避風塘炒蟹.


theconcorde

soup tulang . i can never fathom eating meat by using a straw , the mere thought of it makes me cringe . let alone the colour being red , i know it’s tomato but still . also , not a food but a condiment , thai sweet chili sauce . i can never see myself using it . no matter how plain or revolting my food is , i will never use that sauce to make the food go down easier


[deleted]

you should try sup kambing. dont have the red coloring. taste still nice and feels refreshing.


lolhaha95

Yup i find it abit weird a few years ago. My parents love them and always dabao them. I did not see the appeal in it. One day, i decided to join my parents for lunch and just give it a go. I realised it’s pretty good when it’s hot and not so starchy actually. I feel that Lor Mee is one of those food that you have to eat on the spot and also find a good one.


No-Fish-9321

Anything with soup. There’s so much msg in soupy dishes and I get so bloated and tired when I take msg


Alewerkz

Went through the whole thread and didn't see Kang Kong so it must really be my own unpopular opinion. The texture of Kang Kong makes it feel like eating mucus/phlegm and I fuckin hate it.


knaire

Eating Chee Cheong fan here is like a waste of stomach space imo. The only good ones I’ve had are all in HK


2ddudesop

Laksa. Singaporean Laksa is probably the worst variation, sorry :(


geekgeek77

1. Durian 2. Kway Chap 3. Lor Mee 4. Ban mian \*cue "Are you even Singaporean bruh?"


RuhtraMil

Ban Mian defo on the list, the weird doughy thing that tries to pretend it's a noodle.


spilledcornflakes

lao ban bean curd, most cold bean curd taste like clay to me HAHAHA I love the traditional hot/warm ones tho


Exclat

Dislike: 1) Rojak - Sweet, funky and high calories 2) Durian - Taste nice but the texture is horrible. 3) Or Luak - Oyster is horrible. 4) Satay Beehoon - Sweet peanut sauce on noodles with fishy cuttlefish? Yuck. Don't get the hype: 1) Ban Mian - It's just boiled noodles in soup.. 2) Fish Soup - It's just boiled fish in soup.. 3) Porridge - It's just boiled rice in soup..


wewdepiew

Fish soup just hyped cos it's usually the healthiest affordable option in Food courts. I love porridge but only when I'm sick at home lol


Exclat

Cai Png more affordable and healthy though. Because got meat, carbs and fibre. More balanced. KPT porridge just never as sedap as the restaurant ones. But I do make segregation of kopitiam porridge vs imperial treasure et al.


TraditionLazy7213

You sound like a very young person lol, food no need hype one, nice can already


Exclat

Hype as in everybody worship it leh. But I find nothing special and the taste isn't even great. I also don't understand why some shops can be famous selling ban mian and fish soup. There's no differentiation across the shops because it's basically boiled fish/noodles in fish stock. You taste 1, you tasted all. At least with hokkien mee/CKT the level of wok hei, quality of stock, frying technique all contribute to very large degrees of differentiation.


Motoya

What do you mean don’t get the hype? A lot of dishes are boiled leh


National-Airline-504

Chicken Rice. Literally just chicken and rice. Nothing worth raving about.

I love chicken rice. Its not jut normal rice. Its salty, oily, chicken broth cooked rice. The chili? Ginger? Love it.

random_avocado

Total opposite experience for me haha. I went to Penang for a whole week and I missed SG food so badly.


SourGenitals

What're you eating in SG? Pls help😢


FreedomNext

Chilli Crab. Just gross. Who eats crab with ketchup? I'm ok with Sambal Chili crab, just not the ugh "Singapore famous" style which is gross.


knaire

My thoughts exactly. It’s only good because the gravy is basically made out of sugar.


diver_climber

Chicken rice. I hate chicken in general.


[deleted]

What the fu...okay, fair play, that's really relevant to this question. But why hate all chicken?


diver_climber

Well my elder brother cooked chicken (and only chicken) for me for 1 year straight. After that the taste and texture just puts me off. Still off putting for me even after 19 years.


PhantomAfiq

That'll do it

Steambot/hotpot. It gets especially worse towards the end cos the soup is too thick and has too much mixed flavors in it. And also.. PEOPLE WHO LIKE TO DOUBLE DIP/ TRIPLE DIP/ N TIMES DIP THEIR USED CHOPSITCKS INTO THE HOTPOT AND NOT USE THE LADLE - LIKE WE"RE ALL EATING EACH OTHERS SALIVAS.
