**Not Bad
***MUST try
****Heavenly delicious, die for more
X ABC market
X Great LAKSA and WANTON MEE at 1980s prices!!! NO KID!!! This
stall at the older ABC market behind BLK 1 Jalan Bukit Merah serves
delicious and large serves of tasty "harm" laden laksa at only
$1.50 per bowl. Also, the Wanton mee comes with generous serves of
wanton. SEDAP!!!!!!! Stall is at the middle row. Try it! 
- Bernard Yang
Note: The wanton mee & laksa in ABC market, i think the stall
name is Swee Kee anyway is the one with ST adv. paste on its stall
front is cheap & delicious especially in such recession
times.Sadly, only available in morning & afternoon. ¡V BS
***
X You can have the best Wanton Mee in town. Not forgetting the
Fried Kway Tiao and the Porridge stall that sells exotic varieties
of porridge, ranging from fish, pork to pigs' organs. Hawker centre
is busy at night. Most stalls open till late in the night. However,
you can have the Wanton Mee in the afternoon also. - Khoon Lim

X Alexandra Village Hawker Centre
X Mutton only!
Here to recommend a good stall that sells only mutton! It's at
Alexandra Village Hawker Centre. Can't miss it, it's the only store
that sells mutton there!
Go try the:
a) Mutton with Dang-Gui soup ($4) ***
b) Stew Chunks of Goat's Leg with Carrots & Potatoes
($3.5)
c) Curry Mutton with Potatoes ($3) **
Slurp-delicious! All are served hot, so you don't have to worry
about cold food. It's a fantastic meal if you take these dishes
with rice. They have mutton spaghetti soup too! - XUESS!
X STEW GOOSE RICE! ***
Served with cucumber and stew sauce, the goose meat were evenly cut
(each packet comes with at least 7-8 thick slices of goose meat!),
neither fatty or fibrous as imagined! The meat is very tender and
literally melts in your mouth. A plate will cost you $4, which is
well worth it considering that this is a dish you don't see
everywhere else!
The stall sells the traditional chicken and duck rice too, with
small dishes like stew eggs, tofu and preserved vegetables. Pity
the chilli sauce is too sourish to go with the food. - XUESS!
**
X Tanjong Pagar Hawker Centre (Above the wet market) has 2
outstanding stalls:
X 1. Ice-kacang: For $0.70, you get a full bowl ice topped with
Carnation milk and Red Bean cooked so that it doesn't taste powdery
and ground roasted peanuts. There are goodies under the ice too.
Make sure you get the right stall, which is nearer the bridge
leading to Tanjong Pagar Shopping Complex. **
X 2. Fried Carrot Cake: If you like your carrot cake a little
soft, this is the place to find it. For $2, you get a filling plate
of soft cha tao kway. None of that stuff that they push out
elsewhere with plenty of egg and not enough carrot cake. - Chris
Tan ***
X Teck Hin Eating House (Directly besides Clementi Bus
Interchange)
X MUST TRY. Food there is great. Espically the TIONG BAHRU
PORRIDGE, beside the Roast Duck stall. It¡¦s a Franchise from the
originator at TIONG BAHRU MARKET. They serve great
Cantonese-styled, restaurant-like quality porridge with a wide
assortment of ingredients in a most valued way, having won numerous
accolades with CityBeat, Makansutra, Yummy King, etc. With 46 years
of tradition, the recipe was refined continuously to suit the
tastes of different times.
X The porridge is prepared by boiling the soup base for 4 hours
and then uses it to boil rice for another 4 hours to create a thick
white broth. ¡VChristelle Tan ****
X Porridge preparation is a skill that demands perfect timing.
Eating good porridge is also a lost art. Some characteristics of
good porridge is well-blended broth, strong fragrance, long cooking
hours and natural ingredients used. It also has a number of health
benefits, particularly for people with high cholesterol and it may
reduce the risk of heart disease as part of a low fat diet.¡XVictor
Lee
There is a great variety of porridge to choose from. The mixture of
pig organs is my favourite. You can always aim for fish,
cuttlefish, century egg, and chicken, not to mention the great
YUSHENG side dish. ¡VJoseph Kok
X The Nasi Lemak stall selling fried beenhoon and chicken wings
taste great. They have a long queue during suppertime especially
when people from NUS and night owls who sleep late come down for a
supper bite. The Chwee Kuay is also best in town, smooth and not so
oily ¡VAngela Ng ***
X Tiong Bahru market hawker centre ****
X Food there is great. The fried carrot cake, near to the fried
oyster there. BBQ chicken wings taste great. Porridge is nice if
you are not hungry. Pau is well-known. - Angeline Ng
I like to go to Tiong Bahru market hawker centre. Why?
You can get:
1. Pau - char siew pau, meat pau, red bean... very good pau!:-) (5
pm to 9 pm)
2. Teowchew crystal pau.....this stall is the best! (Tue to Sat
5.30 pm to 9 pm, close on Sun and Mon)
3. TIONG BAHRU PORRIDGE¡K¡K.Cantonese fish porridge/pig organ ,etc
......yummy yummy! Simply cannot resist
4. Loh Mee (2 stalls inside the market, the one w/long queue)
(Lunch time)
4. BBQ chicken wings......
5. Oyster omelette...
X Alexandra IKEA ****
X The food mall serves a lot of nice food depending on the daily
menu. The America chessecake is also nice. Coffee and tea is
free-flow - Angela Ng
X Alexandra Road ***
X There's a new Food Centre in Alexandra Road (former Gillman
Camp) spanking new,clean environment and very good ambience Opening
hours are from 0700hrs to 2400hrs Have a Beer Garden as well The
NASI PADANG STALL is superb which cook authentic dishes only found
in Indonesia itself cause the Chef is from there, try the Curry
Fish Head for only $10.00. They also sell MEE REBUS (delicious with
thick peanut gravy) MEE GORENG (Indonesian style, marvellous with
lots of vegetables) SATAY (Good but price a little stiff with 40
cents a stick but real thick and long) Try for yourself, worth
visiting - mdhaniff
X Amoy Street Market Food Centre
X Those working Tg Pagar/Shenton wouldn't miss the famous
fish/mixed soup stall at the ground floor (previously from China
Square) - long queue during lunch time. - Agnes
X 1. Loh Mee, 2nd Floor, stall you see when you climb up the
stairs next to the POSB ATM. **
2. Nasi Padang, cheap and good. Behind Loh Mee row of stalls. In
fact, there are 2 along this row of stalls selling Nasi Padang. The
good one is the 2nd stall from the right, and not the corner stall
next to it. This stall was previously from the Tian Fu Kong Temple
around Boon Tat Street (that's the name of the street, I believe)
***
3. Shenton Laksa, previously from Old Market Transit market, is at
the corner of the row of stalls facing the Nasi Padang above. -
Kathy **
X Lau Pa Sat
X I'm an American in Okinawa, currently on holiday in Singapore.
My friend brought me to this Laksa Stall in Lau Pa Sat where he
says the food's great - IT IS ! ! ! ***
We had Nonya Popiah, Laksa and Curry Chicken - all fine stuff,
rather spicy though. Would be great if you check it out! - T.
Pallotta **
X Lavender Food Court ***
X I have found the hawker who used to sell zi cha dishes at the
old Lau Pat Sat hawker centre! He and his team are now at a rather
quiet hawker centre next to Immigration Building next to Lavendar
MRT. I dunno about you but I will not forget his prawn paste ngo
hiang which is just yummy to the max! The prices for other dishes
like kailan and fish slices and chilli crayfish are also cheap. A
dinner for three big eaters can come up to $30, still cheap judging
the quality of food here. The satay at the hawker centre is also
good. The stick portion is a bit small but the satay will keep
hunger pangs at bay while your main entrees (zi cha dishes) take
time to cook. Also there is the wan tan mee stall which only opens
at 7 pm nightly. The auntie and uncle who prepare the noodles,
well, let's just say you'd better not be very hungry or you may
'peng san' (faint) before you get to taste it. Not cheap, starts
from $3 but do try it, it is likely to be worth the wait. Eat the
satay first, that might help! - VY
X Lenkong Tiga
X Chinese food court under Lenkong tiga blk 110, Kembangan MRT
stn. Their Sweet and Sour pork is the best I have tried so far in
Singapore. Their Chicken Fried rice is excellent as well. - Fred
**
X Marina Fiesta Foodcourt (5 Jan 1999)
X just trying to tell all nice food eater that there is a stall
selling very tasty satay and rojak at marina south (marina mall)
(adjacent to the superbowl). i think the place is call marina
fiesta foodcourt. though, the price is abit X but come to compare
to those malay's satay that we get outside($0.30-$0.40), it is
bigger by at least 2 times. And the gravy is not the watery one
that you've get, it is those creamy and rich groundnut sauce that i
think had long being in the book of history. in addition, they also
offer very nice rojak which they take great pride to prepare. their
$3 serving is equvalent to those $4 one that we can find in our
neighberhood hawker centre. with all these plus point that they
prosess, i can't see why they won't be the next destination for
people who enjoy good satay and rojak after the famous satay club.
5 stars for the food. - Sherman ***
X Armenian Street Old Coffeeshop **
X Sited next to the old US Embassy and opposite to the Asian
Civilisation Musuem I (a few steps away from MPH Stamford), the
coffeeshop houses a "char-kway-teow" store, a "wan-tan mee" store
and a "wu-xiang" store. Tucked away at an unnoticed corner, it
stands out from all the high class eatiung places and food courts
around the area. Food is relatively cheap too, though not as cheap
as I would want it to be! The char kway teow is good, simple and
nice. Not laced with shrimps, fish cakes etc, it's cooked plain
with chinese sausages and cockles. Literally "melt" in your mouth.
Long queue during peak hours so one has to be patient! Certainly
tasted better than a lot of those you would find in the food courts
these days! Priced at $2 and $3. - XUESS!
X Bedok Bus Interchange hawker centre (Bedok MRT station)
X My fav stores here are the Char Kway Tiao and the nearby corner
char siew, xio bak and roast duck rice store. Facing the main car
park, you can't miss it! At 1 corner of the hawker centre is the
goreng pisang and the dessert stores - excellent! There are 2
dessert stores - aim for the one with the long queue. Food prices
are very reasonable. - phoinix ***
X Bedok North Road Hawker Centre ****
X There is a hawker center along Bedok Nth Rd which operates
24hrs, EVERY DAY! To get here,take the Townlink 222 at Bedok
Interchange, get off at the 4th stop,(Interchange not counted).
Anyway, you will be able to notice it.The best times to eat there
is at the evening and at night. In the evening, the Economical rice
stall's is cheap and good. Chicken rice is avaliable if you get
there quick. Hokkien mee and Fried Kway Teow can also be found, but
lots of MSG. At night, at stores near busstop and NTUC, there are
two stores selling good satay. The cream of the crop is found at
two stores selling ONLY minced meat mee. Both are equally good, but
the stall which dosen't have a Mickey Mouse picture on its
signboard(look up)is better but has a longer queue. Avoid going
there on Mondays as many stalls are closed.For more info,email me
at [email protected] - Chia 2 Jun 97 ***
X Bedok North Steet 1 Blk 216 Hawker Centre **
X Make on the spot big pau .Very tasty & fresh. Better than
Tiong Bahru one ... also at this Hawker Centre There is stall (
beside Soyo bean drink stall) selling very delicious Wanton Mee. -
Tony Lau
X Bencoolen Street
X There is also good Murtabak just below WHY NOT HOMESTAY at
Bencoolen Street. And you can also get good Teh Halia (Ginger tea)
just next door. - Swee Bee. ***
X Bendemeer Road
X Guan Hin Teochew Restaurant at Blk 34 Bendemeer Road (turn off
at Exit 14A along the PIE). Great tasting Teochew food - oyster
omelette, crab rolls, sharks fin, crayfish, Teochew 'siew mai', 'aw
ni' and lots more. Not very cheap though. - Jarrod Ng **
X Bras Basah Complex
X Anyone tried the food court called 'Xiang Man Lou Food Court' at
Bras Basah Complex (ground floor), facing Allson Hotel? This is the
same premises where the Chinese restaurant of the same name used to
be. Stalls featured there include:
X 1. Yong-tau hoo - so, so. *
X 2. North Indian food viz. tandoori chicken, naans, rice and
curry - good value for money, food quite good. **
X 3. Chicken rice - average quality. *
X 4. Wanton noodles, char-siew rice - average quality, slightly
pricey. **
X 6. Bak chor mee - the most popular stall there (another long
queue). Good value for money. For $3 you get slices of pork, meat
balls, mushrooms and a piece of fried scallop. This stall also
sells the usual fishball noodles and prawn noodles (hey-mee).
**
X 7. Japanese food featuring sushi, shashimi, tempura udon,
katsudon,etc. Quite good quality food for a fraction of the price
you pay at a restaurant. **
X 8. Fish head/fish slice bee-hoon and, fish soup with rice. Above
average, tasty. **
X Changi Airport
X The stall at Changi Airport T1 has good vegetarian food and it's
halal, also. Must try the Fried HongKong noodles. - FLY **
X Ghim Moh Hawker Centre
X The reason why I want to highlight this place is that I have
been having my stomach filled there since my junior college
days.
X Peng Kee Chicken Rice - very smooth white chicken with very
fragrant rice, better than Swee Kee! ***
X Char Kuay Teow - don't know the name but it's next to the
chicken rice and you can't miss it coz' it's the only one and
there's always a queue **
X Cocktail Jelly - ask any RJC student and he/she will tell you
all about their staple diet! (there's only one there and it's self
service with a long queue too!) ***
X Duck Noodles - also the only one stall that sell duck noodles,
very shiok noodles; try the laksa too! ***
X Fish Head Mee Hoon - it's at a corner stall near the carpark,
very good deep fried fish head! ( the stall also sell congee but
forget that!) ***
There's a lot more there, you just have to go there for your
breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper for a month to find out (which
I have been doing for 8 years now!) - LOU
X Adding on to LOU's comments, the Chwee Kuay, Pau Store and Soya
Bean Store are also very good. ***
X The Chwee Kuay looks very "professional" which sells only Chwee
Kuay but nothing else. The equipment and cooking utensils are well
designed and effective. By looking at the quantity they are
churning and the crowd you would know it's good staff. Ask for more
" Chai Po ", it's tasty ! The stall is located at the centre
row.
X Try the Pau Store too, it's located in the outer row, corner
store facing some provision shops, the Char Siew Pau and Siew Mai
are good.
X Don't forget to visit the Soya Bean Store. It's located on the
other side of the hawker centre, next to the FisH Head Mee Hoon
Store, facing the coffee shop. The Bean Curd is good and comparable
to the one at Middle Road - but priced only at sixty cents.
***
It seems like this hawker centre has many good food, I would need
more visits to explore further. - Wong Weng Thong
X Forget the Soya Bean Store facing the coffee shop! The beancurd
is not bad but compared to "Super A1" (#01-72 - opposite 2 medical
halls) at the same hawker centre, it still has some way to go.
"Super A1" makes soya beancurd and drink on the spot. Very smooth
and shiok! And healthy too since there are no preservatives added.
You can also add abt 7 types of toppings including longans, fruit
cocktail etc. Very cheap too. - Tan Seng Huat
X Fresh made soya bean drink and soya bean gurd with many types of
toppings etc. longan or lychees with bean gurd, peach with bean
gurd, genko and lotus seed with bean gurd. Beside there are many
others variable dessert which can try out and the price is
resonable. Blk 20 Unit 01-72. Must try the special bean gurd
topping which is made of good quality soya bean and it is good for
health. - Spencer Maggie
X Golden Mile Coffeeshop (opposite Hawker Centre)
X Long Live Laska! The 'most happening' laksa I have tasted must
surely be the one at the coffeeshop opposite the Golden Mile Hawker
Centre. When I go with my friends, we eat two bowls each. Very
shiok! The gravy is lemak and rich and the serving is just nice.
Going for $2 and $3. You must try to believe it. The prawn mee, I
have heard, is also quite good too. But it is $3 per bowl. - VY
***
X China Square Food Court
X #01-22 The stall is selling combo set meal. It have fish set,
chicken set, pork set and beef set. The set include 1 bowl of rice,
fish,chicken,pork or beef, daily change vegetable and fruits and a
cup of drinks. The price is very very cheap range from S$4.80 to
S$5.80. It is more worth than eating McDonald. I have try the food
and is very nice and filling. - botek **
X Recently, I found a stall at China Square Food Center which
serve great Nonya Mee Siam and Laksa. This stall is located on the
2nd floor unit no. #03. Their nonya mee siam is a typical and
traditional type which I have never tried one before in Spore.
People who love nonya food should give their mee siam a try. They
also serve great laksa and prawn mee. Don't forget to try out their
home-made sambal chilli. They really go well with the food. - SNI
***
X A Great discovery is the fried fish soup store(Level one). They
deep fry pieces of fish meat with egg. It is then served in a big
bowl filled with piping hot fish broth. It is enough to make you go
for 2-3 bowls of rice. Another recommendation is the fried sambal
fish head. - Bernard Yang **
X I was at the newly opened China Square Food Court at Telok Ayer
Street today and I found a REAL traditional nonya type Mee Siam and
thick gravy traditional Laksa. If you like Laksa with a thick lemak
type gravy, don't give this one a miss. Also, their mee siam is
really delicious. They are located on the second floor next to a
dessert shop. I highly recommend their mee siam. - LKC ***
X There is a good vegetarian food stall at B1-31, restaurant
standard but at food court price. I would recommend their rojak,
hor fun & mee goreng. They also serve Tahu Goreng, thick sauce
with plenty of cucumber & bean sprouts and of course with lots
of peanuts on top. FYI; they are from the Lau Pa Sat - transit
market quite popular with the Chai Piah (vegetable cracker) &
Spring Roll. - Harry **
X Chinatown
X Near Chinatown point is a famous chinese style coffeshop. Name
is Tiong Seng or as the cantonese-folk in the area call it, Cheong
Sing. Great porridge. Q is long and wait may be long. Quite
expensive and great taste. Done to the traditional cantonese style
by cooking the rice in pork broth and not water with seasonings.
Fish porridge done in the same way. Hot and not air-con'd. The raw
fish with chilli and seseme oil is done the right
proportions.
This place is known by the older generation taxi drivers too. Just
tell them "To Cheong Sing!" Sadly this may not work as the younger
generation of taxi drivers seem to know only tourists eating
places. ***
X Yes! at Temple Street there is a 24 hr Taiwanese Steam Boat
Restaurant. Quite pricey but if you want a hot meal in the middle
of the night and it had to be chinese, this is the place. Uses
chicken broth for the soup and not water. Pot is not your regular
steam boat pot but a bronze kwali-like basin. ***
Many kinds of people drop in from construction workers to other
denizens of the night. They have a small TV there and many are seen
glued to the food and set. - Chia Jin Ngee **
X Great curry! Did you ever know that there was a restaurant in OG
building on Upper Cross St?? It's the building opposite Chinatown
point and hidden on the 3rd/4th floor is a cafe-type restaurant.
They serve great homestyle food, and their curry is the best! Maybe
not for die-hard curry fans, but the gravy is thick with coconut,
and the chicken is plump and tender... mmm.. Definitely for those
people who get overwhelmed by too much spices cos it's pretty mild.
I would recommend their poh-piah, fried-rice, fried noodles and
fried tung-hoon too! Don't get turned off by their set-lunches
which are served in army-type trays. It may be strange but it's
pretty damn good! 
~ - Nina Tay ****
X Chinatown Complex Hawker Centre ***
X I have made another great food find available in the morning for
a healthy breakfast. CHINATOWN COMPLEX FOOD CENTRE in the heart of
Chinatown alongside Smith Street . For an extremely healthy
nourishing breakfast you will find it at a Niang Tou Fu Stall tuck
away In the corner of Chinatown 2nd Storey # 02-99 namely Xiu Ji
Cooked Food OR Ikan Billis Niang Tou Fu . It can be found up the
escalator from the central circular void deck, a little to your
left turn right , straight past a number of stalls look right and
you will find the stall . You will not miss it as you will find
most tables occupied waiting for their orders . The stall is opened
on most days and weekends from 7.00 am to around Noon .
The food is served in two bowls , one bowl containing six pieces of
niang tou fu consisting 3 pcs of fishball , 1 pc tou fu , 1 pc tow
pok and a mini ngoh hiang , all freshly steamed at the stall daily
except for the ngoh hiang (fried ) in a ikan billis based soup .
The other bowl will be your choice of noodle , kway-teow or bee
hoon served dry with deep fried ikan billis topping with minimal
oil . The chilli is grinded in heavy garlic served in a dish . All
these for a mere S$ 2.00 . Give it a TRY .
X Also Don,t forget your coffee from the corner stall directly
facing Xiu Ji , it is real strong . - Edmund Sum
X Golden Shoe Hawker Centre
X Nasi Lemak (2nd level) - the delicious chilli makes the rice
even more palatable and Western food at 3rd level (surprisingly
cheap as compared to neighbourhood stalls). Mixed seafood soup at
2nd floor is also very good (fresh fish/seafood and fish ball). -
Agnes ***
X Nasi lemak at golden shoe hawker centre... but there's so many
there you might be lost. So must make sure you go the the one that
says green rice and it's located between a fish soup stall & a
chin chow drink stall. The chicken wings and the chilli is just
splendid. closes late at about 8pm. - Jean Tan **
X Goodman Road Coffeeshop ***
X Hi ! I am a 9 year old who knows of a great stall that sells Hor
Fun and many other types of seafood dishes . Perhaps you won't
believe , but this stall sells chicken and pork dishes as well .
They all taste delicious . This stall is located at the corner of
Goodman Rd and has been there for more than twenty years already .
It has been there since my mum's childhood days . I still eat there
often . There's also a mee goreng stall inthe same coffee shop . It
also sells delicious food. - Keith Loke
X Hill Street Hawker Centre (opp. Funan Center) **
X My hubby and I just love the cha keow teow at the Hill Street
Hawker Centre. I am referring the second storey stall which is
easily accessed by the covered bridge linking Funan Centre and the
hawker centre. The uncle hawker is a quiet unassuming chap who will
customise your plate of keow teow, like more bean sprouts, no
cockles, etc. He also puts in very little or no pork lard as
compared to the other competitor at the ground floor whose portions
are also less for $2 or $3. The wan tan mee at the ground floor is
also very good, especially the soup version. The cha siew is quite
good. Also going for $2 a bowl. - VY
X Duck Rice - $3 will fetch you a plate of gravy-soaked rice and 7
or so slices of duck..the set is completed with a bowl of herbal
soup (i think..it certainly tasted like herbs to me!!) - James
Hetfield **
X Holland Avenue and Commonwealth Avenue (going towards
Clementi).
X Coffee shop at the corner. I don't know the name of the coffee
shop. But it is not difficult to find as it is facing the main
road. BBQ Stingray, sotong with chilli and oyster sause with kailan
- Swee Bee. ***
X Holland village **
X Batters Betters (or the reverse, didn't pay attention) opposite
. Ambience is quiet, Curry Kumbeng (er, it's lamb meat) crepe is
nice, though no service charge (you give the tips), staff is
polite. Price reasonable..... - kit
X Jalan Besar Hawker Centre ***
X Fish soup in Jalan Besar Hawker Centre is tasty. Especially, the
soup is well brewed. It located on 2nd floor, in the centre. Only
in lunch hour and always with crowd. - Jacqueline Tan
X Hi i would like to recommend a very nice Wanton Noodle stall. At
Jalan Besar Hawker Center stall nos #104 --Peng Kee They sell the
best Beef noddles..and also a varity of Food like chicken feet, pig
trots noddles..pork ribs noddles....its cheap and tasty...starting
at $2 per plate - Joey foo ***
X Jalan Bukit Merah
X HDB Centre, Jalan Bukit Merah. Cheap and nice food there, but
very crowed especially lunch time. I can't remember the name of the
stall but I can tell the food it sell.
2. A stall selling Shanghai mee with pork chop/chicken chop
**
3. A Ipon 'hor fun' stall ***
4. A chicken rice stall - try the chicken wrap in the tin paper
***
5. A malay chicken stall - Chew Kam Chuan **
X Dunman Food Centre ***
The best food centre has to be the Dunman Food Centre (very near to
OCBC Joo Chiat). The prawn noodle (basement) is very nice. The
wanton noodle (Eng's) used to operate a stall at Onan Road. People
driving Mercedes Benz would queue up to buy his noodle. Another
good wanton noodle is Ah Seng's Wanton noodle. The soon-kueh on the
basement and durian chee cheong fun/porridge on the first floor is
very good. Of course, the best rojak in Singapore is also here (it
is the only stall selling rojak). This rojak stall allows you to
call to order your food. Take a name card from the owner. - Oh CW
Roger (jun 99)
X Ellenborough Food Centre ***
X A rare and disappearing food "sharks meat" jelly still found
here, is a favourite among the old Teochews. Other good stuffs here
include fresh hand-made "pau" and "a-bo-ling" (Teochew glutinous
rice balls). Yes, the food centre will be soon giving way to the
proposed MRT line , so it doesn't leave much time for the gourmets
to savour all these old time favourites here! - Pek Yoong
X The Food Centre has been demolished ... anyone know of the
whereabout of this stall, please email me!
X Empire Cafe at the Raffles ***
X Empire Cafe at the Raffles is a place one shouldn't miss. It has
just got a new look and also an interesting menu. The prices is
reasonable and the food is really good. Best prata in town. The
crabmeat fried rice is full of ingredients and is only $11.50. The
soya bean is refillable throughout. My friends and I had a feast
that night. We were impressed with the efficient, attentive and
personalized service. The staff are very helpful. Our waitress came
by to assist us in the ordering. Recommended and explained to us
the different cuisines that's on the menu. We had a great time.
Don't miss the new Empire. The good news is that it's opened till
2am on weekends. - Yu Sing Ding
X Environment Building **
X There is an air-conditioned hawker centre in the Annex of
Environment building at Scotts Road, opposite Asia Hotel. It is
open during office hours, primarily to cater to the staff of the
Ministry of the Environment, and it is also open to the public.
Some of the best hawkers in Singapore have set up their stalls
there. There are Muslim food, vegetarian food, yummy chicken rice,
etc. The food is the safest in Singapore as food testing is done
almost every week. - Hamsterix

X Beef Kway Teow.Also called "3 wives kway teow". - Ng Tian Khean
****
X New Lai Lai Food Centre (Next to the Beef Kway Teow shop) open
from 12 pm to 4 am. Price reasonable & taste fantastic.
(Sometime Q quite long, especially on weekend) Special Highlight :
First Stall in Singapore - Hong Yun Mee Hoon Kuay, previously when
Singapore has only least than 10 stores selling, people coming all
the way from Jurong, Yishun, Holland, Tampines and Woodland
(Malaysian too) & have to wait somehow like 45 - 60 mins during
peak hours. Must try! Second: Least oily and most fresh fried
oyster, the Bah Kut Teh and Pig's liver Mee Sual also not bad. -
Serene ***
X Coffee Shop along Geylang Lor. 24A - There's a store that serves
great 'Hae Mee' - Both the soup and dry version. They open at
around 7am and sell out before noon. However, do not despair, in
the same coffee shop, there's also an irresistable wan-ton noodle
store. Ask for their specialty, which is the wan-ton mee with black
sauce. Heavenly!!! -Bernard Yang **

Fantastic Sambal chilli, nice soup, generous servings! **
1. Traditional Rice Dumplings (Tang-Yuan)with fillings of Red Bean,
Yam etc etc in sweet peanut soup and you-zha kwei. Difficult to

And lots more! - XUESS! ***
X Jurong West St 52 Market/Hawker Centre **
X Jurong West St 52 Market/Hawker Centre - Just around the POSB
Cash-On-Line, I think third store from the left, selling good
FISH-HEAD BEE HOON and HOR-FUN previously from Bugis St. Also got
good FISH BALL NOODLES, name of the stall is 'Wen Guang Yu Yuan Guo
Tiao Mian', located at the behind stretch of the hawker centre,
just in front of the florist and aquarium store. - Jorge UPDATE:The
above stall has moved or closed down. No longer there, it is taken
over by a Chicken Rice stall that co-incidently also sells very
delicious chicken rice and oyster sauce veggies. Try It!! - Diana
Chew - B Batok ***
X Addition to the stalls that Jorge had mentioned, we must try the
Cha Kway Teow stall which is located just a few stalls away from
the fish head noodle stall. Can't remember the name but just look
for a "bui soh" and that's the stall. - Mabel Ong ***
X The left side of the fish ball noodle stall you mentioned at
jurong west st 52 hawker centre.It's a Hong Kong noodle stall,it
has great shrimp dumplings and wanton mee.The stall that has a
"A-Soh"who wears a cheong sam kind of dress.That's the one. -
Kelvyn Ho ****
X Kallang food center
X Nobody has said anything abt this place ... for lunch dinner and
late supper??
X the pork rib mee swa/meatball/fishball noodle soup is really
great. Only starts to sell at abt 8pm till 11pm, or till they run
out, which ever happens first. Damm tasty! Good favourite. n
Located at the front row, next to the 2 fruit stalls and the
'chinese medicine drink stall', facing the main road. **
X western food - at the back row (to the left if you walk in past
the prok rib noodle stall described above.) Next to some drink
stall/chicken wing stall, kinda opposite a fruit juice stall. This
western food stall sells the usual western food but the really nice
thing is their garlic sauce!!!!! Fantastic. Some of the western
fare comes with it, some do not. The recommendation is the chicken
cutlet (or chop - the one without bones) and ask for extra garlic
sauce!! Yum yum .. but watch out .. the garlic taste will stay with
you (on your breath and tastebuds even the next day) for abt 24
hours ... expecially when you visit the loo thereafter.( sorry for
being disgusting.) ***
X there are 3 char kway teow stalls there. I hear the better one
is the one behind the mobil station - only ate once during the day
and I think they close at nite. Not bad. The other two are in the
middle section and they do open at nites. Both pack the kway teow
in the traditional 'white' leaf wrappers. ... both also taste not
bad. - Jeremy Chan ***
X Kopitiam, Meridien Orchard ***
X The Kopitiam is quite good. I have tried the porridge which is
one of the best. It tasted like those you paid in the restaurant.
And the Laksa taste wonderful too. - Tay Ching Choo
X must try,chicken chop,the one located just below the open space
that sell spring and BBQ chicken remember best!xiaolongbao,next to
the juices/desert store.IT'S JUICY,but rem eat while it's hot coz

food,kuay chap,tim sum........ - Loius Liew
X the Japanese stall , Don Don serves good and value for money
dishes. try their Teriyaki Chicken... really good and worthy!! -
Vince **
X The Shanghai Pan Fried Dumpling is good, the stall also sell a
Korean dessert. Made of egg & flour with red bean paste
filling, to dip into icing sugar before eating. The thought if it
make me hungry! - Clariel ***
X You get the usual plastic mass-produced food at this typical
foodcourt, but there are treasures to be found here, if we know
where to look... Here are some of my faves at this foodcourt
:
1. Poh piah stall, somewhere in the middle of the foodcourt, which
sells poh piah in three varieties: normal / super(with some crispy
stuff) / special(with crabmeat)... or was it
normal/special/super(???), and choice of normal or hand-made
skins... The more expensive the better, of course, but I usually
order the second-best one (super?) with hand-made skin and it's
deeelicious !! ***
X 2. Tar Mee-pok (dry type) with soup served in a small boiler.
Really tasty soup cos they add lots of meat, minced and sliced, and
fresh scallops. Those with more to spend can order the ones with
abalones. **
3. Breakfast deal : at the coffee counter nearer to the Istana
side. When wasThey serve a set for $2.00 (!!!) which comes with
coffee, roti-kaya and two soft-boiled runny-yummy eggs.. - hweeb
***
X You got to try the westen food at meridein Kopitiam, their food
is nice exspecial their Chicken Cutlet, Fish & Chip, Lemon
Chicken Rice, Lamb chop and their Fried Chicken, it very Crispy n
Juicy I think the stall name Taxen Fried Chicken Stall 36 and they
got a prmontion card which u buy 5 set of meal and get one
free.....try it yourself and you will know- Jason **
X Check out this new joint at the basement level of Hotel
Meridian. Great place, but beware, your wallets may not be too
happy about the outflow of cash. Some stalls not that cheap lah!!!
For those Ban Mian (home made noodles) lovers, there is this unique
and great BEEF STEW BAN MIAN. Chunky pieces of beef that you can
really bite into with great home made noodles. Slurp! The other
item that is worth checking out is the TERIYAKI CHICKEN with RICE
for those Japanese food lovers. Very tasty, but a small portion
too. Just right for small eaters you know. And then there is the
all time favourite there among my friends...the HERBAL SPRING
CHICKEN with NOODLES. The chicken comes nicely wrapped in aluminium
foil to preserve all that juicy goodness for your taste buds!!!
These three dishes have been keeping me satisfied for the past
three months of regular visits!!! - Yu Khing ****
X Marine Parade Hawker Centre
X i think you have left out Marine Parade hawker center. There are
lots of great food available there .For eg , there is this Apollo
char kway tiao which have delicious satay sauce on it ( but
self-service ) and also at one end corner there this Katong Chicken
Curry Puff ( behind the stall selling soya bean and ching qao drink
) their curry puff is very fresh as they make , fried and sell it
on the spot . especially the curry puff skin which is so crispy and
hmmm.. it smell nice too ! They also sell curry powder at $2 per
packet and each packet is 100 g. As for the price $0.80 each,very
cheap leh , got chicken ,got curry , got potatoes . Not like those
Japanese Pancakes inside only have cheese or peanut and somemore it
cost $1.03 !!!! - Lydia Koh ***
X Maxwell Market (and around)
X Black pepper pork mee
the mee is bouncy but not tough, the pork is tasty but not
over-sweet, perfectly seasoned with generous amount of black
pepper, it makes a hearty dinner with the stall's other goodie,
"swey gao". Only available at Maxwell market. The stall faces the
carpark. - seong sin chen (February 99) ***
X is a treasure throve of great eats. Here, you would also find 2
wonderful chicken rice stall near the pig trotter stall(see our
hall of fame page). They both offer terrific Hainanese Chicken but
if I was forced at gunpoint to chose, I would say Tien-tien is the
marginally superior one.
Another find is the porridge stall immediately on the left when one
enters Maxwell Market from the carpark. Just look around at the
people waiting patiently around the stall and the number of bowls
queusing on the counter to know that fellow Singaporeans are on to
something good here. MUST try the pork porridge and the raw fish.
Expect to wait for about half an hour at least. The man up front is
a small-sized chap who can be found darting around with great
energy. This man has an incredible memory!
Do note that they open mornings only! - Hwang Yu-Ning ****
X For those of you who crave for a piece of your childhood, there
is a store which sells Tang Kee (I call them UFOs). This is a dying
art and I swear that no one makes them as well as the lady here.
For the uninitiated, Tang Kee are UFO-shaped deep-fried doughy
things stuffed with fillings of minced meat, chye and oysters. They
cost $1.20 for the smaller ones and $1.50 for the slightly larger
ones. If you're afraid of oil and cholesterol - forget it! These
must be eaten piping fresh from the boiling oil. I always have at
least 2 at one go! Hang the diet! - Remember the famous deep-fried
sweet potato balls filled with meshed red beans, or chopped
peanuts, or pandan coconuts, or crunchy veges ?? Well, for those
'anything deep-fried' die-hard fans like me, this is another item
to look out for!
opens till 7pm everyday, closed on Sunday. - phoinix ***
X Middle Road Hawker Centre
X Middle Road Hawker Centre (opposite Bugis Junction) I have found
another unassuming hawker who takes his cooking very seriously. His
carrot cake is fabulous if you like it crispy like a pancake! The
portions are big for $2 and $3. But be prepared to wait cos he is
very meticulous! Another great stall is the Prawn Fritter and Ngoh
Hiang stall manned by a middle-aged couple who speak very good
English and are very polite! The prices are reasonable. You must
try the Chinese sausage, ngo hiang and prawn fritters.... they even
have pig's ears and tongues, if you are interested! The couple also
does not stinge on the chili and sweet sauces to accompany takeaway
food. - VY ***
X Newton Food Centre
X the food over at newton is great like cockles, satay, stingray,
kangkong....and many many more it's located beside newton MRT. go
try it out. u won't regret. - Hakka ****
X Northpoint Food Court
X Should try the mouth-watering Beryani Chicken(spicy)with Tiger
prawns.The long queue is worth the wait and it only cost
$4-5.50.Kavin is the name of the Stall. - Kovalan s/o L T Ramani
***
X Pasir Panjang Rd Food Centre (near PSA Wharf Gate 5)
X chut-chut and cockles
Sambal chilli chut-chut highly recommended. You can recognise the
stall by the big cuttlefishes, illuminated by spot light, hanging
in front of the stall. Stall closed on Tues **
X fried Hokkien prawn noodles
ingredients like prawn and squid are fresh. Price from $2.Stall
closed on Sun ***
X special Roti-John **
Comes with choice of sardine, tuna, chicken as fillings. Price from

X Pasir Panjang Village
X Coffee Hub
At Pasir Panjang Village there is a small shopping centre - South
Bouna Vista Centre. If you are around at PP Village, make it a
point to go the SBV Centre - there is a cafe called Coffee Hub when
they serve great fish and chips and grilled salmon. They also serve
a wide range of coffee and wine. Don't miss it. - Amanda (February
99) ***
X I am not sure if you are aware of a chain of restaurants at the
corner between South Buona Vista Road and old Pasir Panjang Road,
next to South Buona Vista shopping centre, called Pasir Panjang
Village. The shops serve a variety of cuisines, including
Indonesian in Sari Mas, Swiss in Restaurant Lucerne, Fusion food in
China Blue, French Vietnamese in Qhue, Spanish food (there is a
tapas bar there) and mediterranean seafood. There are also 2
dedicated (local) seafood restaurants there (Ubin seafood and wharf
seafood) So the choice is quite wide. There is a covered mall at
the back which is open and breezy, in which you can eat,and there
is a very good ambience, facilitating a very pleasant meal. Food
quality is quite good. After the meal, there is always Mata Hari,
if you are thirsty. We Pasir Panjang residents find it closer to us
than Holland Village, and go there for a good night out. We want to
share it with the rest of Singapore - Jenny Soon ***
X Prinsep Street ***
X Hyde Park Cafe at prinsep street. reggie and bee serve a mean
dish of curry fish head. reeeally appetising. but try also their
fried long beans, omelette, stir-fried everything. you musn't leave
without tasting the coffee. with a bit of nudging they also serve,
not on the menu, superb pancakes with ice-cream. bee must be
cursing me for divulging this. - seong sin chen (February 99)
X Queensway hawker centre **
X There's a good cantonese restaurant serving very tasty hor fun
fried with fish meat and spring sprout. This is their specialty.
There's other nice dishes as well ... like the steam fish head in
hot chilly bean paste. - Philip Chen
X The BBQ stingray, for both stalls. The Claypot Bak Kut Teh is
the best. - Angela Ng ***
X Raffles City - Westin STamford Hotel **
X Good place to go to, is the Kopi Tiam Restaurant at Westin
Stamford...value for money food with good ambience, no need to
suffer from the queues. All the good taste of local hawker food
with the ambience of a restaurant. Laksa, Nasi Goreng, chicken rice
and rojak all at reasonable prices. Open from 12 noon for lunch
till 10.30pm at night. No reservatinos needed although preferred. -
Francis Goh
X Redhill market/hawker centre
X This place has a very good variety of food - carrot cakes, pau,
Hokkien mee, deserts, prawn noodles, curry rice, wantan mee, kueh
kueh and many more. Some stores sell the same variety ie. carrot
cakes but they are fried in different styles. The prices are also
cheap - 1980's price and this place has a long history. It is
better than the ABC market. - Bobby Teh ***
X Don't forget the delicious Satay Mee Hoon. The stall has been
there since day one! So is this stall selling only Fried Tao Kuah
(beancurd), a very unique stall and very cheap but only open during
the day. This stall was passed down from father to daughter-in-law.
I heard they made their own beancurd ! Should also try the oyster
omelette and chicken rice which is at the end of a centre row
(nearest the wet market) - Hwee Wah ***
X River Valley Road
X Yes! The famous Cantonese chicken rice Boon Tong Kee has finally
joined us at RIVER VALLEY ROAD.Opens past twelve.Besides their
famous chicken rice,they also serve great fish-head and pork
ribs.Friendly staff will never forget to tempt you into trying
their homemade lime juice.Place is nice,clean and bright.Just next
to 7-ELEVEN and 2 bus stops from my place.- KURK. ***
X Scotts's Food Court
X Hey, the Penang laksa at Scott's food court is delicious and so
is the stall next to it which sells northern Indian food. - Collin
**
X Serangoon
X Serangoon garden market sell very excellent Char Kway Teow.... I
think it is one of the best Char Kway teow in town..... ***
There is one tim sium stall that sell char siew bao, vegetabil
bao.. it is also at serangoon garden road. it is at the coffee
shop... outside there is a carpark....
Serangoon north ave 1 blk 153, sell very nice Roti Prata, roast

X Serangoon Gardens - Chomp Chomp Hawker Centre ***
X Best Dishes : Carrot Cake, Hokkien Noodles, Ngoh Hiang - Bernard
Yap
X Chomp Chomp night hawker center. u can find a wide variety of
food there (ie. 2 stalls of fried carrot cake, 3 stalls of
dessert-ice kachang etc, fishball stall, western food-chicken chop,
satay stall, satay bee hoon, chicken rice, fishball noodle, wantan
mee, porridge, grilled chicken wings, seafood-all of a sudden, i
could not remember the name of the fish that is square?? ) that
about covers much of it. am i making u hungry?
to end it all, there are a haagen-dazs cafe, cake shops, a japanese
restaurant, chinese restaurants right across the street. besides,
the above, there are coffee shops selling chay qua tiao, chicken
rice (not bad!!), roti prata, kentucky fried chicken, russia
restaurant, western restaurant run by christians, another branch of
the famous Jimmy's chain of restaurants, a cafe selling fish head
curry (not bad too!!) and cheap chicken chop!! (in a restaurant
atmosphere), a pizza house (only take-aways) and last but not least
(I may have missed out any) a seafood restaurant which was just
recently started by serangoon garden country club. this restaurant,
called jumbo restaurant, boosts karoake facilities while u're
eating, a hugh screen for those who cannot afford the room charges.
the food there is not bad, and I love the buns that u eat with the
chilli crabs' sauce!!! - Carole ***
X Short Street
X Just thought people would like to know the two famous eateries
at Short Street, just diagonally opposite Paradiz Centre, next to
the night club. The famous Rochore Rd tau huay (soybean curd and
milk) is now just next to the Mama store. Their old location, next
to the bakery, is now taken over by the landlord who set up his own
tau huay store. It's not that good, so go back to the other famous
one. The new store (next to the Mama store) is called the Rochore
Restaurant. Yummy. The other humble eatery worth mentioning is the
Fishball Noodles at the corner coffeeshop right at the end of SHort
Street. The ingredients are very fresh, the fishballs are hand made
and very fresh. Double yummy! But long wait, lemme warn you! -
Corinne ***
X Simpang Bedok - (opposite the army camp):
X All the food there are very nice especially the rojak and the
cheng tng.The price are reasonable and the place is always crowded.
Expect to share table . - Nizam **
X Sin Ming Rd Blk 24
X Roti Prata - if you think the Jln Kayu or the Sembawang Rd/Yio
Chu KangRd/Casuarina Rd pratas are good, then you haven't tried the
one at Sin Ming Rd Blk 24 coffeeshop. This guy used to be at the
old cornershophouse at Bukit timah Rd and Cluny Rd junction where
chaeuffers from huge cars use to queue. The pratas are fantastic.
And what's more, you pay 50 cents for a much bigger piece than the
shrinking Jln Kayu pratas. Also, must try the chicken curry -
tastes heavenly. - Dennis Ng ****
X Singapore General Hospital
X The sandwiches at the bakery-like cafe at blk 4 near the
taxi-stop is nice. The crossiant is the best and the coffee is
quite cheap and taste nice compared to the coffee in the food court
at blk 5 thought xtra 10cents. The buleberry pie and sultana taste
good if you like sweetless cup cakes. - Angela Ng **
X Off Sixth Ave along Bukit Timah
X Not a reccomendation, but a commendation! - Tried the restaurant
"FULL HOUSE", it was a most wonderful makan experience! I was out
of new places to go to eat, so I tried looking for a reccomended
restaurant near my area and Whallah! I've linked my home-page to
you now, so my friends will be able to share in such a wonderful
"Makan" link! - Terrence **
X Toa Payoh Lor 5 Hawker Centre:
X char kway teow - two stalls side by side selling one of the best
kway teow this side of the island. Competition ensures quality and
quantity with low prices. If you like your kway teow similiar to
the one at Newton (wet and messhy), then this is the place.
Actually, the two hawkers look quite alike. wonder if they are
brothers. ***
X Flour noodles (with the ikan bilis and egg in the soup)- this
stall serves good flour noodles. A must try if you're in the
vicinity. ***
X Kway chap - very good kway chap. Intestines are very well
cleaned. Gravy is sweet (not MSG spiked!) and clear. Portions are
generous. ***
X Fish ball noodles - No need to say anything here. Just ask the
people around the neighbourhood. One of the best in Singapore.
Although I'm not a fish ball noodles fan, my friends swear by this
stall. - Dennis Ng **
X just to add to Dennis Ng's recommendations at the Toa Payoh lor
5 hawker centre. There's a fried hokkien mee that's ooh so
delicious. Certainly one of the best I've tasted. Its a treat to
watch the cooking skills of the Ah Pek as he goes thru the motions.
Alongside this stall is one that sells BBQ chicken wings which go
along with the fried hokkien mee. - Denis Chua. **
X West Mall Food Court
X black pepper udon noodles - Running of black pepper, but their
soup udon noodles are great too! Another recommendation - first
stall selling Dim Sum especially their Chee Cheong Fun. They come
with crab meat, pork or prawns (best). Their sauce taste right for
the food. - TSY ***
