ieatishootipost Survey: Singapore Top 10 Cze Char Dishes

Another survey conducted by ieatishootipost. This time round was on Singapore Top 10 Cze Char Dishes. A total of 8497 votes has been casted. Below is the result:

1. Har Cheong Gai (Prawn Paste Chicken) 1002
2. Sambal Kangkong 821
3. Hot Plate Tofu 758
4. Sweet and Sour Pork 685
5. Cereal Prawns 572
6. Pai Gu Wang 550
7. Hor Fun 538
8. Curry Fish Head 506
9. Salted Egg Prawns 491
10. Hae Zhor 451

The results seem quite reasonable to me.

Chicken meat is probably the most popular meat as it is acceptable in terms of palate to most and rarely restricted due to religious reason. As such, I am not surprised to see Har Cheong Gai so high up in the ranking.

Interesting to see only one veggie dish making into the top 10. Maybe the votes are spread across different types of vegetables with various types of cooking methods, except for Sambal Kangkong which is more distinct.

Personally, I would place Curry Fish Head high in the ranking, but I could understand not all people can take spicy food and Curry Fish Head is not something you would order every time when you eat Cze Char. 

A little surprised to see two prawn dishes, with Salted Egg Prawns being the second one, in the Top 10. I would have thought that at least one egg dish to be included.

Do you agree with the results? Any of your choices not up in Top 10?

Most importantly, where are the best ones of these top dishes?

UFM 100.3 Survey: Best Fried Chicken

Results of this week 美食大PK:

1. Arnold's at City Plaza #02-99
2. Golden Rooster at Blk 284 Bishan St 22
3. Jollibee at Lucky Plaza #06-048A

According to the DJ, Arnold's has an overwhelming lead over the rest of the competitors. Also worth mentioning is IKEA also receives quite a huge number of votes for its fried chicken wings, but not considered for this survey as it is meant for fried chicken.

Could not believe that I have tried none of the above in the Top 3! More food options for me and I got a lengthy backlog now.

Pls give your support for this segment on UFM 100.3 and cast your vote before 8am every Tuesday.

The top 3 go to:

More food choices for me!
