Table of Contents
#1 – Tip Top Western Food
Introduction: One of the star ingredients of this meal was the meat gravy, which had been handed down from generation to generation. Made entirely from vegetables, this was the gravy served when the establishment first opened back in 1976. The owners informed us the beef was sourced from grain-fed cattle, known for their marked marbling and a buttery taste. Apparently, the stall only makes one dollar of profit from this dish.
Menu Items:
- Pork Chop (Price $7.50)
- Chicken Chop (Price $7.50)
- Fish & Chips (Price $7.50)
- Steak (Price $10)

#2 – Apollo Fresh Cockle Fried Kway Teow
Introduction:
For over 40 years, this stall has been delighting Singaporeans with their gravy-heavy, wet rendition infused with garlic and wok hei / breath of the wok.
I love the slippery slick noodles coated in egg, pork lard, and dark sweet soy sauce, with its fragrant savoury salty sweet eggy spice flavours. The way they cook this results in a pronounced sweetness.
The generous garnish of crisp bean sprouts, bouncy blood cockles, tender fish cake, and chewy lup cheong / dried cured pork sausage, complete this delightful dish. (Ivan Teh from Burple)

#3 – Kun Ji Duck Rice
Introduction: The braised duck was tender and tasty, similar to the char siew and shao rou, may not be the finest food but we can only assert with confidence that Kung Ji is above all the usual. The shao rou had crispy skin with tender and juicy meat, even my daughter, someone concerned with maintaining a strict diet, didn’t mind.

#4 – Neptune Hong Kong Dim Sum
Introduction: Gem at Marine Parade Hawker Centre! The century egg porridge was of the texture that I like – thick and mashy, topped with some crisps. The fried dishes were also satisfying ☺️ The prawn chee cheong fun was not bad but wished there was chili to go with it hehe. Total damage: $16.80. (Jsln T from Burple)

But make sure you save room for the mee rebus black tea ($3.50), a vibrant dish with chewy yellow noodles, fresh green chilies, egg, and fish cakes.

#6 – D’Authentic Nasi Lemak
Introduction:
Came at 12+ and there’s not that many dishes left, so I had the chicken wing, curry veg, begedil, and peanuts and ikan bilis. The only dish I didn’t have was the sunny side up. Everything on the plate was perfect. The rice was soft and super fragrant on its own with a good amount of coconut milk taste but not super overpowering. It tastes even better in their curry sauce. The chicken wing was crispy on the outside while the meat is soft and tender and juicy and flavourful. The veggie, begedil and peanuts and ikan bilis were all good, though nothing amazing.
Happy that I got to try this! (Gerald Lim from Burple)
Menu Items:
- Nasi Lemak (Price $1)
- Chicken Wing (Price $1.5)
- Begedil (Price $0.80)
- Mee Rebus Special (Price $3)

#7 – Xin Long Cooked Food
Introduction: I enjoyed my latest meal from Xing Long so much I went straight back and ordered the exact same combination to go. Always get their otah, as their rendition is smooth and lemak. On hindsight and probably the reason why I enjoyed this iteration more than on my last visit, was because my subconscious selections were more akin to nasi lemak than economic rice. Sayur lodeh, a generous serving of fried chicken wing and a huge ass begedil rounded out my heaving plate. The 3 types of chilli available are all amazing, from the piquant chicken rice-style chilli sauce, to the sweet and spicy sambal and soy sauce-soaked cut chilli. Mix into the rice, dab onto the ingredients or eat them straight up, each and every way is enjoyable. (Jason Wong from Burple)
Menu Items:
Prices start from $5
- Sayur Lodeh
- Fried Chicken Wing
- Begedil

#8 – Aziza Putu Piring
Introduction: Serving their Putu Piring in servings of either two or three pieces, the Putu Piring also comes in various flavours here such as Durian and Nutella. Being more of a purist, I found myself ordering a set of the original Gula Melaka flavour; the Gula Melaka within the lightly cakey exterior being all thick, gooey and a little gritty whilst being piping hot — evidently sweet but not overly so. No doubt I would still prefer Haig Road’s version; perhaps a little more well executed with more Gula Melaka, but Aziza Putu Piring’s rendition is a great substitute especially considering where it is located. (Xing Wei Chua from Burple)
Menu Items:
Prices start from $1
- Goreng Pisang
- Kueh Kueh
- Putu Piring
- Curry Puff

#9 – Emmanuel Peranakan Cuisine
Introduction: Nonya style economical rice stall which also sells Peranakan style Nasi Lemak, this stall is started by the daughter of the other famous stall in the same food centre, Xing Long Cooked Food. I had the Nasi Lemak which comes in its distinct blue pea rice, along with ingredients like chicken rendang, fried egg, and fried chicken wings. The rice is aromatic and delicious with the sambal sauce, while the chicken rendang is flavourful and you can expect tender chicken meat. There are many other Nonya dishes to try such as Ngoh Hiang and Otah as well. (therantingpanda.com)

- Nasi Lemak Rice (Price $1)
- Fried Onion Egg (Price $1)

#10 – Soon Soon Soon Wanton Noodles
Introduction: Soon Soon Soon Wanton Noodles does wanton mee that comes with both soup and fried wanton, and lean meat char siew. Chicken cutlet noodles is available too. For this wanton mee, extra fried wanton and chicken cutlet is added. The char siew is the lean type. It is fairly soft but on the dry side. Personally I like my char siew fat and charred. This is neither. The fried chicken cutlet has a crispy crust outside and moist inside. Tastes ordinary though. Both versions of wanton are quite nice though. The fried wanton is crispy and airy. and the soup wanton has soft skin with nicely flavoured meat filling. The accompanying soup is lightly savoury and not overly salty. (the.fat.guide)

- Fried Wanton
