The President's Picks!
In my post on Kway Guan Huat Poh Piah, I mentioned that this is one of the stalls that our President frequents. You might have noticed that I also created a new label called "President's Picks" which showcases some food that President Nathan likes to eat. So, aside from Kway Guat Huat, I also know that our President drinks the Teh Tarik at Hilmi Sarabat Stall as well as tar pau the prawn noodle soup from Wah Kee Big Prawn Noodle. ($4 portion, not the big prawn one).
Now, whether our President is a foodie or not is anyone's guess, (I am placing my bet that he is) and you might be wondering, "So what?". Well, I think that being a man who can basically have access to any food that he wants from anywhere around the world, he should have quite a discerning palate. Anyway, I think he has done a great job as President and this is just my simple way of honoring him.
So, do you know of any other stalls that the President frequents? Do write in and let us know!
There is also another new label called "Heritage Hawkers" which lists out all the Hawkers that have been feeding Singaporeans for generations. Eateries like Zam Zam (who just turn 100), Hock Lam Beef Kway Teow, Tong Ya Coffee and Saji's Indian Food are just some examples. I am trying to cover as many of them as I can, so if you know of any that should be part of the list, please write in to tell us as well!

At the Allauddin's Briyani in Tekka, they have a picture of the stall owner together with the President. I was printed on a letter with the Istana logo on it. Not sure if he went there to cook for him or what.
I am very surprised that no one actually commented about the President's picks!
I would have thought that we would be getting a long list of eating places by now!
If I am not mistaken, someone once mentioned that the President likes the cakes or nonya kueh from Harry"s at Mathilda Shop along Joo Chiat Road.
ieat, no one commented because we see his face already want to spit/vomit. not to mention hurl expletives that can't be posted on this family-friendly site.
Oh my, it sounds like you had some bad encounter with him!
Hmm ... "he has done a great job as President". what "great" job has he done? attend opening ceremony, cut ribbon?
Funny thing I just browsed this page when SR Nathan's bodyguards flashed their siren at me to make way @ Fort Road.
Must be on the way to his daily jogs.
Maybe he is off to get his Teh Tarik
