Opened by 4 partners that includes actor Chew Chor Meng, this place serves value for money mookata great for group dinner/ supper gatherings in the neighborhood. The meats (chicken, pork, beef) are well marinated without the heavy-handedness. Other crowd favorites include the cheesy fish cakes and the good'o luncheon meat. They also serve prawns marinated lightly in salt that are fresher than what is usually found at mookata places. On average it should cost you just $12-15 per pax. It's the anchor tenant of the coffee shop and they open till 2am. Superb value!
Satisfying choice for supper in the neighborhood!
Solid choice for supper in the north east! Opens till late night.
This teochew porridge is so legit. One of the places where I just need to say you need to get here. Go for everything in this photo. You won't regret it. Perfect for suppers. Visit now!
One of the most casual ramen dining experience in Singapore. This joint serves comfortable ramen, gyoza and vegetable dishes with Chinese influences. I really like that they stir fry the vegetables toppings just like how they do it in Sapporo, before laying them over the bowl of miso ramen. The broth was lighter than how I like it to be. Opens till 2:30am. Satisfied.
Loved this! Sweet, tender and juicy, this is late night supper done right.
Soothing and feels healthier than the hard hitting mango shaved ice cream. Enjoyed it!
Fun fact: did you know that the Circuit Road hawker centre used to be a bus interchange, hence lining a long stretch of this one-way and almost oval road? ("Orhhhhhh".) This place has been in the limelight recently for the ieatishootipost muah chee (sold out but had a nice chat with the uncle, story for another day).
Living just 5 min walking distance away, I often get asked, "What's good to eat here?" Two problems surface: one, I spend much less time around home now as compared to Tg Pagar where I work. Two, I've lived in this area all my life, so my food preference for this hawker centre is kinda skewed.
My usual answer is that it's known for vegetarian food and "orh luak", or fried oyster - the kind fried with starch. Two stalls are in close proximity - Teo Kee, the more famous and popular one, and this from Ghim Guan which is nearer to the bus stop.
$4 is a 'healthy' portion for one person, and it could be that I was the last customer, but there were many plump and fresh jumbo oysters - don't you just love it when they pop in your mouth and the pungent juice lubricates the tongue? The signs of a good orh luak are also the crispy fried bits and the starchy morsels. However the egg portion was a little bland - this is where Teo Kee overtakes the competition.
Do order the spicy version. I told the uncle that I enjoyed the chilli flavour (in the dish, not the dipping sauce). He said the recipe originated from his grandfather and it's never been changed. When I pointed out the hae bi hiam flavour, he smiled and gleefully admitted adding that in but not too much. (Yes, score!)
We all have soft spots for the older hawkers that have kept their recipes true to themselves despite the thirst for diverse flavours and new trends. They may not be the absolute best around - then again, we don't need to have the best all the time. Simple, unchanged tastes that gives us small bouts of happiness sometimes matter more. #BurppleAfterDark
Enjoyed my supper. Fish soup easily brings the warmth into your tummy and the next thing your want is to fall asleep. My friend ordered the hokkien mee and it tasted was special. Order that the next time!
Workbench's signature Crab Meat Linguine didn't disappoint, and the Garlic Fries were addictive (in a good way). In case you're wondering, this is one man's portion!
Fantastic for a post dinner hang out. Get the pandan ice cream with gula melaka sauce. Aircon needs to be way stronger inside.
Situated in a quieter part of Toa Payoh, this place is a good alternative to the uber popular Creamier. Waffles was fluffier than most, and I enjoyed how the moscato & Roche gelato went with it. I'll be back again!
