Looking for Hawker/Kopitiam places?

Crisp and flaky pastry wrapped around curried potatoes, tender chicken and a slice of egg. Each bite is aromatic, savoury and just the right amount of spicy that rounds everything out 》$2

This bowl packs a punch. Tender pork jowl with just the right amount of fat, onsen egg with that golden runny yolk and salted veg that cuts through everything with a tangy punch.

The meat-to-rice ratio is generous and it’s melt-in-your-mouth tender with a rich, aromatic braise. The sauce coats every grain nicely, making each bite savoury and satisfying.

It can feel a touch salty midway, so a bit more rice would balance things out. Still, for the portion and price, it’s a steal and a comforting choice 》$5.80

📍Braissers Rice Bowl | #02-44

Joined the queue out of curiosity but left a little puzzled by the hype. The duck was tender and the gravy clean but everything leaned light. Gravy wasn’t thick and flavours weren’t bold. Herbal soup on the side was a nice touch but overall, I found myself wishing for something punchier.

What caught me off guard was the chilli situation. Asked for extra and was told to come back with my empty saucer for a top-up. Not the most generous vibe, especially when the dish itself could’ve used that extra kick.

If you like your duck rice on the gentler side, this might hit the spot. Personally, I prefer a bit more oomph 》$15.40

Classic, fuss-free chicken rice that hits the spot. I get both poached and roasted chicken, drizzled with soy sauce and sesame oil, plus a light chicken broth on the side. The meat is tender and juicy and the rice pairs perfectly with the garlic chilli and dark soy sauce. Simple, comforting and exactly what I’d expect from a good old-school chicken rice plate.

Crunchy fruits, youtiao, tau pok and that thick shrimp paste sauce. Generous peanuts on top for extra bite. Still punchy and addictive, though the shrimp paste felt a little heavy this round 》$4

📍Tong’s Rojak | #01-20

Silky noodles in a rich, herbal broth with tender slices of lean pork. Perfectly comforting, especially on a rainy night when all I want is something warm and nourishing 》$5

Had the So Lemak Set and it delivered. Crispy fried fish, juicy har cheong wing with that prawn paste kick, soft spicy otah and a perfectly runny egg. Sambal was sweet with a touch of heat, rice fluffy but could’ve been more lemak. Classic ikan bilis and peanuts sealed the deal 》$7.50

From Madam Chua 133 Mian Fen Guo
Only $4 for this bowl of dry noodle.
Must stir and toss for the tasty sauce at the bottom to coat the sliced fish and noodle.
Very enjoyable.

Great find in kembangan area! This stall serves free flow sweet potato porridge, and dishes in Zi char style. The fu yong egg was super fluffy. Would definitely recommend. We also order black bean paste fish slices and pork ribs and spinach which were all very fresh.

My go-to spot in Bedok for fishball noodles! They serve handmade fishballs that are light, springy and full of flavour. It's easily the highlight of every bowl. Each serving comes with a comforting mix of fishballs, meatballs and herh keow (fish dumplings). While the meatballs aren’t handmade, the quality of the fishballs more than makes up for it.

What really elevates the dish is their sambal paired with crispy pork lard. It's bold, punchy and addictive. It clings beautifully to the mee tai mak, making every bite satisfying 》$4 (Regular) / $5 (Large)

While the name suggests a porridge place, you can either opt for refillable porridge or rice at $1 per pax and the dishes are similar to zi char. Was impressed by the variety, quality of food and friendliness of staff.

The fish with black bean sauce was great, the texture of the fish was soft and not dry, the sauce was fragrant and not too salty. The fuyong omelette was fresh and fluffy. The spinach with white bait was also good, especially the crispy white bait. The salted egg ribs was my favourite dish - the pork was tender with no bones, the sauce was thick and so good that I finished up everything.

Overall, great dinner and supper spot, will be back to try other dishes.
