#1 – Hill Street Fried Kway Teow
Introduction:
Fried Kway Teow is somewhat of a national dish, being one of the many local favourites among Singaporeans. It’s also one of the topics of great debate – which is the best Char Kway Teow Stall? As it’s highly subjective, the title of ‘Greatest Char Kway Teow in Singapore’ is rarely ever agreed upon. The original owner of the store, Mr Ng Chang Siang, passed away last year at age 71. He had been suffering from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) for 4 years before his passing, which had left him bedridden. Mr Ng Yeow Kiat, his oldest son, has since succeeded the business. Along with his aunt and a helper, the younger Mr Ng has been running the stall successfully for the past five years.Being the oldest of six siblings, the younger Mr Ng has big shoes to fill. His father started selling Char Kway Teow in 1961 out of a roadside pushcart in Wayang Street. With support from his loyal customers, he relocated to a hawker centre in Hill Street. He later moved to the current location in Block 16 Bedok South Road in 2000, where they have been operating from ever since.
For many who live in the East, Hill Street Fried Kway Teow is one of the unanimous favourites, if not THE most popular Char Kway Teow spot in Singapore. Snaking queues with a wait time averaging at 40 minutes is a common sight, despite the factory-like efficiency of the aunt-nephew duo running the store.
Earlier this year, Hill Street Fried Kway Teow was added to the Michelin Guide 2019. Michelin inspectors praised the “intense flavour” of the dish and noted the “fresh ingredients” used.
Hill Street Fried Kway Teow’s noodles are one of those dishes that will have you taking cheat days just to cure your cravings. With sinful nuggets of pork lard crisps, this noodle dish is bad for the waistline, but great for the soul! Their cockles are fresh and sizeable, cooked just right to give that addictive bite without being too rubbery.

#2 -Hock Hai (Hong Lim) Curry Chicken Noodle
Introduction:
Curry Chicken Noodles is one of those local hawker dishes that are fast diminishing in Singapore.
Some of the most famous ones include Do Po at Golden Mile Food Centre; Heng Kee Curry Chicken Bee Hoon Mee and Ah Heng Chicken Curry Bee Hoon Mee – both at Hong Lim Food Centre.
Then, there are two more: Hock Hai (Hong Lim) Curry Chicken Noodle at Bedok Interchange Hawker Centre AND Fu Hai Curry Chicken Noodles at Albert Food Centre.
Their Chinese names 福海咖喱鸡米粉面 are THE SAME, but each would claim there are NO other branches in Singapore.
Hock Hai (Hong Lim) Curry Chicken Noodle has been around way before Bedok Interchange Hawker Centre’s renovation in 2013.
Known for its noodle bowls that brim with ingredients, it offers Curry Chicken Noodles at generous portion
The stall has been awarded with a Michelin Bib Gourmand in the Singapore Guide 2019. Surprise, surprise. NOT Ah Heng or Heng Kee?
If you’re a fan of this type of noodles and live in the east side of Singapore, this place is for you.
You don’t have to go all the way to Hong Lim Food Centre to appease your cravings.
Though it also sells Satay Bee Hoon ($4/$5/$6), Hock Hai’s house special is the Curry Chicken Bee Hoon Mee ($4, $5, $6), the signature dish that people flock here for.
In the stall, a large pot of curry filled with ingredients will entice you even from afar with its fresh-cooked aroma.
The Curry Chicken Noodle was served in piping hot curry soup that was fragrant, medium-bodied and mildly spicy.
Prepared home-style ala grandma’s way of cooking, the soup tasted mildly sweet, savoury and spicy from the blend of different spices and coconut milk.
If you are thinking that the gravy would be thick and rich like curry, this is actually closer to Laksa’s consistency.
After trying out a number of Curry Noodles in Singapore, this came across as more mild and not that overpowering. I can imagine some people would prefer curries that are more flavourful and aromatic. Personal preference: the two other versions at Hong Lim though being greasy, worked better for me. Maybe it was the chilli.
Menu Items:
- Satay Bee Hoon ($4/$5/$6)
- Curry Chicken Bee Hoon Mee ($4, $5, $6)
Location: 208B New Upper Changi Road #01-58 Bedok Interchange Hawker Centre Singapore 462208

#3 – Bedok Chwee Kueh
Introduction:
Talk about the most famous Chwee Kueh in Singapore, and it would usually be a toss-up between Tiong Bahru’s Tiong Bahru Jian Bo Shui Kueh and Bedok Chwee Kueh.
Bedok Chwee Kueh is a popular stall with branches island-wide (Clementi 448, Chong Boon Food Centre, Chong Pang Food Centre, Lorong Ah Soo, Chinatown Food Centre, Ang Mo Kio Ave 4), in Singapore, famed for its soft, light and supple chwee kuehs.
The stall has been listed in Michelin Bib Gourmand Singapore 2019, the first Chwee Kueh stall to be awarded!
If you want to taste their specialty where it originated, go to its stall in Bedok Interchange Hawker Centre, located just steps from Bedok Mall and Bedok MRT station (East West Line).
Expect nothing else on the menu but their famous Teochew-style steamed cakes served with chai-poh (preserved radish).

Top 10 Best Carrot Cake in Singapore
#4 – Chai Chee Fried Carrot Cake
Introduction:
These old-school deep-fried Carrot Cake Sticks are getting hard to find in Singapore, unlike Fried Carrot Cake aka Chai Tow Kway.
Some of the hawker stalls you can find them include Deep Fried Carrot Cake at Whampoa Market, Dong Jin Yuan Dian Xin at Hougang’s Hainanese Village Centre, Fu Ji Shu Shi at Sims Vista Food Centre, and Tian Cheng Food at Tiong Bahru Market.
Chai Chee Cai Tou Guo has two outlets – one at Block 216 Bedok North Street 1 #01-55, and Blk 117 Aljunied Avenue 2 #01-25.
This stall is popular for carrot cake sticks, carrot cake pieces and yam cakes that sell out in full swing.
Although the stall is visited by a swarm of customers on a daily basis, the swift and efficient service of uncle ensures that you do not have to wait too long for your order. In fact, best if you get to try one fresh piping hot.
The soft Carrot Cake Sticks ($2 for 12 pieces) are first cut with precision using a fixed cutter, arranged neatly on a metal grill, then fried by batches for two minutes.
I loved how crisp they were from outside, with a perfect crunch in every bite, while contrasted with equally tender and soft texture from the inside.
What is great about these carrot cake sticks is that even though they are deep fried with that mesmeric golden-brown exterior, they are not too oily.
It is a great snack to munch on while exploring the food center, but it might not leave room for much else as it is quite rich and filling.

- Fried Yam Cubes: 1 box of 10 cube $5

#6 – Jefri The Original Botak Chicken Rice
Introduction:
Chicken rice survives the endurance test in terms of being one of Singapore’s national favourites. There is no shortage of it being served hot, fragrant and tender for enjoyment but aside from the most convenient stall-next-door, it’s difficult to agree on which cook did it right—because many of them do.
For Easties though, Jefri – The Original Botak Chicken Rice serves an interesting variation of the dish. Spotted in Bedok Interchange Hawker Centre is their rice that’s served in a unique shade of orange.
Jefri’s most highly-raved dish is their Nasi Goreng Ayam (S$3.50) that looks like a plate of fiery hot rice with roast chicken on top. Contrary to how it looks though, the rice leans towards the sweet side with a subtly spiced taste that reminds us of nasi goreng.
In terms of looks, the meat didn’t lag far behind the interesting rice. The chicken appeared delicious with a thick glossy glaze. Tender and soft, it had the familiar taste of roast chicken from chicken rice. The lack of bones made it hassle-free to eat and we liked that the dish was not greasy.
Menu Items:
- Nasi Goreng Ayam (S$3.50)
- Mee Soup (S$3)
- Mee Hong Kong (S$3)
- and Mee Bandung (S$3.50)
