The market at Toa Payoh Lorong 8 closed down for renovation works about a year ago. And I was deprived of my favorite satay for one whole year. I've been eating satay from 勝品香 since young, back when I was still a little boy. The satay from this stall is awesome. Literally awesome. So when the market re-opened, the first thing I tried is the satay.
 |
| 15 satay chicken/pork at 40¢ each, chicken wings at $1.20 each |
Chicken wings:
 |
| Tender. succulent, juicy chicken wings |
Actually pretty standard for grilled wings, though some lousy stalls do screw up and over grill wings which end up dry and hard. 勝品香's wings are well marinated, and control of the grill is good. What you get is very rich flavored wings which is tender and juicy.
Satay:
 |
| Well marinated satay having rich flavor. |
The satay is also very well marinated, giving the it a very rich taste. The meat texture is a bit hard though, and it hardens after a while (or if you ta-bao), so eat it immediately.Why wait when the good food is right in front of you?
Satay sauce:

| Awesome sauce is awesome |
The best part about their satay is the sauce, not because of the strong and wonderful flavor, but because of the peanuts. Many other satay stalls fail on this, with grounded peanuts which is almost powder like. The sauce from 勝品香 has chunkier and crunchy peanut bits, which makes it extremely satisfying The photo don't do the sauce justice, it's more awesome than what's in the photo.
This stall is located towards the back of the market, you can't miss it if you look for the 勝品香 name. There's also many new satay and chicken wing stalls in the market after the renovations, but I doubt they can be as good as 勝品香. Pretty rarely do people come to Lorong 8 of Toa Payoh, as it's the furthest from the bus interchange/MRT station, but if you do happen to drop by, give it a try. And oh ya, it opens only for night business.
