Michelin Bib Gourmand bak chang stall at Amoy Street, open limited hours.
Hoo Kee Rice Dumpling is a Michelin Bib Gourmand-recognised stall at Amoy Street Food Centre (#01-18), celebrated for its bak chang, the traditional Hokkien rice dumpling stuffed with glutinous rice, pork, chestnuts, mushrooms, and salted duck egg yolk. The stall operates on limited hours, opening only on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 11am to 3pm, a schedule that creates a sense of anticipation and urgency among its devoted following. The salted duck egg yolk pork chestnut bak chang is the standout item, with the rich, creamy yolk complementing the savoury pork and the subtle sweetness of the chestnut in each carefully wrapped parcel. Hoo Kee's Michelin recognition has drawn wider attention to this humble stall, yet it has maintained its traditional preparation methods and modest scale. The limited opening hours reflect the labour-intensive nature of bak chang production, where each dumpling must be individually wrapped and cooked, ensuring quality over quantity.Operating Hours

Finally got to revisit this place after it reopened—and it was so worth the wait! The $2 bowl of peanut soup with tang yuan is simple, comforting, and absolutely delicious. The sweetness of the peanut soup is just right, and the glutinous rice balls have a unique texture and taste. Tried the tau suan as well, and it was equally satisfying. Quality and heart in every bowl—highly recommended! ps. do note it closes at 2pm and sometimes it runs out before that!

A peanut soup with glutinous rice balls for only $2. This is so so cheap relative to whatever that is selling elsewhere. Uncle is super friendly to chat with. …

I highly recommend the peanut soup with 3 ah balling/tang yuan. The peanut soup has a hint of sweetness and nuttiness and the overly generous amount of peanuts melt in your mouth. The default is 2 peanut-filled tang yuan and 1 black …
