Delicious Kebab with Excellent Service from Turkish Kebab House

I received a text from my wife this morning. She said she felt like having kebab to break fast. Well, it's not the first time this week she told me she wanted kebab. So in the afternoon, she was already browsing the popular kebab joint. I told her why not Turkish Kebab House.

I felt Turkish Kebab House would be an ideal choice because;
1. We've tried their food before so we know what to expect.
2. They provide free delivery service to places in Khatib, Yishun, Sembawang, Canberra, Admiralty & Woodlands area with a minimum $30 purchase.
3. They also sell desserts like Kunefe and Baklava.

Don't believe me? See it for yourself..



So I sent a whatsapp message to one of the number provided, just checking if they are still able to take in orders especially during that time of the day. After I got a 'Yes' response, I texted my orders...

1. 1 chicken pita
2. 1 beef pita
3. 1 butter rice - chicken
4. 1 beef burito roll
5. 1 kunefe

Everything costs me $41.00, paid via PayNow.

so payment made at 5.16pm and at about 5.52pm, he texted me to inform that he is will be arriving in 10 minutes.

I love such seamless, simple and straightforward process. No need to kill braincells manouvering complicated menus, no need to deal with complicated customer service chat robots, just straightforward simple process from ordering to payment to delivery.

Before this, we attempted to buy from another provider. It was so troublesome. They son't have options to change from chicken to beef and it took a while for someone to respond to our query. By the time we made the order, they could not accept our orders because that delivery slot have been taken. After all that complicated, high tech process, I got my order rejected. Moreover, they don't even sell any desserts.

Fortunately, there is Turkish Kebab House.

Then it was time to break fast... and I totally forgot to take photos until my kids were already munching the food away..

So here's some photos of the half eaten food from Turkish Kebab House. This meal is shared between 3 adults and 3 kids aged 2 to 9 years old and it's more than enough.




And of course, we had our Kunefe after Terawih prayers. Kunefe is a sweet cheese pastry made from noodle-like pastry and unsalted melting cheese. This is a common dessert available at most middle-east and Turkish cafes and restaurant



 We really enjoyed this meal and simplicity from Turkish Kebab House.

Turkish Kebab House is located at

1 North Drive, Northpoint City, south wing, #B2-125, Singapore 768019

If you can't locate it, it's on the same lane with Swee Heng Bakery, just further down.

The following photographs were taken some months ago when I first came across their shop. Did not manage to do a review because all kebabs were gone before I could take any photos. It just shows you that the outlet exist and I've been there. If you wish to see their current menu, check out the earlier photos.

Will I buy from them again? It's a definite YES. 

Note: Just to remind all my readers and visitors to this blog that none of the posts in this blog are paid advertisement. I'm doing it because I really enjoyed their food and also to support Halal F&B businesses that I've patronized by sharing my own personal experience.

Delicious and Cheapest Epok-Epok (Curry Puff) You Can Ever Find

What was your worse experience when it comes to buying epok-epok or curry puff?

I remembered my disappointment when it comes to buying sardine epok-epok. They have more onions and air than sardines. So that's kind of putting me off and I will avoid buying epok-epok unless it was recommended.

My wife bought from this stall about 2 months ago. She bought sardines and normal epok-epok. It was delicious, I tell you.

A month later, I went back to the same place to buy from this stall. This stall is named Yang's Epok-Epok, stall no 4, located at Bedok Corner.





Here's a breakdown of my experience..


1. There was a long queue.

2. In front of the stall, I saw one makcik (Malay auntie) diligently flattening a dough on her palm and placing diced curry potato in it. Then she skillfully formed the twirls at the end of that 'raw' epok-epok. This means it's freshly made.

3. Then I saw another lady scooping fried epok-epok from the wok and placed in onto a strainer. This is a good sign... meaning it's freshly cooked.

4. Then I saw an A4-sized poster with a clock on it, indicating when it would be ready. It also indicates that they do NOT take reservations. This means it's a hot seller and if you're unlucky, you will have to wait for the next batch.


Can you guess how much is an epok-epok? It's 50 cents ($0.50) each and customers are buying in 5s and 10s!

I bought 10 potato and 10 sardine epok-epok, brought it home(it was during the Covid-19 Circuit Breaker so no eating out).

Just look at it..
I do apologize to all readers because I really forgot to take the 'inside' photo. It all happened so quickly. I takes longer to queue than to finish this.

And it was worth it!

It's freshly made!
It's freshly fried!
It's cheap and most importantly,
It's delicious!

Will I return to buy again?
For sure. I do wish they could take orders though..

Just head down to Bedok Corner Food located at
Bedok Corner Hawker Centre Stall #4, 1 Bedok Road, Singapore 469572.

Opening Hours
12pm to 7pm daily, closed on Mondays.

UPDATE

It's August 2020 and I managed to get my hands on these epok-epok again. This time, I remembered to take more pictures.
