1 thing that East coast Lagoon does not lack, is its Satay stalls.
Along a stretch of Muslim stalls, u will easily walk pass over 5 stalls trying to psycho passer-bys to come buy satays from their stall.
My satays came from a a store named "Sixty Satay" . Satay not bad leh, cooked till the edges slightly charred, and the meat was fresh also man.
Each Satay @90cents and minimum order of 10.
Every wing is charcoal bbq to a golden brown sheen and paper crisp skin on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. The crispy skin has some mildly sweet flavours with a fragrant charcoal flavour that infuses well into the meat. This has got to be one of the better bbq wings I had 》$1.30 Each
📍 Ah Hwee BBQ Chicken Wing & Spring Chicken 亚辉烧鸡翅 | #01-14
Gooey soft chunks of tapioca starch and egg fried till crispy on the edges before adding in raw oysters for a quick fry. The ratio of egg and starch hits the right spot with the perfect balance of gooey-ness accompanied by fresh, huge and juicy oysters. The tangy chilli sauce served goes so well with the oyster omelette 》$7
📍 Song Kee Fried Oyster 松記蚝煎 | #01-15
Oops smelled so good that I wolfed it down before remembering to take a pic. We ordered the $5 version and it was yummy!! Their hokkien is the wet type and the stock is flavourful and sweet.
I can't believe this is a no pork no lard place!
Hokkien mee (S) @ $6
#32 Geylang 29 Charcoal Fried Hokkien Mee
One of the best hokkien mee. It's wet the way I like it and comes with good amount of prawns and sotong and lard, which is really damn yummy. But the best is the burnt taste and smell that is subtly infused in the whole plate - guess they really use charcoal to make this and the burnt taste and smell makes this dish so damn good.
Would like to try the other outlet at Geylang to see if it's consistent. But definitely happy to have this dish even though we were damn full from the other food we had (satay bee hoon, satay and oyster omelette) and this is still the best among all.
My favourite duck rice at East Coast lagoon! Have been eating this since I was a kid! Super love the braised sauce and tender duck meat. Goes well with both the braised rice or porridge!
While the queue may seem short, the wait is always super long. But you can call ahead for takeaway orders!
Plate of pan grilled pork chop with baked beans, slaw & fries.
Juicy indeed.
This is from a stall called crispy carrot cake and the carrot cake is crispy indeed. It has a lot of flavour and there are prawns in them too.
Let me prove you wrong that there are in fact numerous hidden gems in this alfresco dining spot, dishing several of our Singaporean favourites. First up is Eastern Red Seafood (Stall 01-37); one look at the stall’s menuboard and it will give you enough reasons to give them a chance. From zichar classics such as chilli crab, cereal prawns and sambal stingray, you can literally order up a feast to fill up the entire table with food. The stingray was meaty and the sambal covering it was savoury with a tinge of spice to it. Squeeze the calamansi before eating to give it a burst of life and dip the meat with some of the tangy chilli by the side for the ultimate enjoyment. A few units beside Eastern Red Seafood is Lagoon Carrot Cake (Stall 01-40), and as the name suggests, their signature is their fried carrot cake, which we got the black version, and surprisingly I have read that they do a great popiah as well. With all the uncertainty surrounding us and the virus situation, a lot of F&B outlets have suffered tremendously as a result. Hence, we should continue to #supportlocal and #savefnbsg by patronizing them if we are around the area, be it dining at the spot, ordering a takeaway or calling for a food delivery.

There are several repeated stalls in East Coast Lagoon Food Village selling the same kind of food but the two that I will recommend for oyster omelette and BBQ chicken wings are Song Kee Fried Oyster (Stall 01-15) and Ah Hwee BBQ Chicken Wings & Spring Chicken (Stall 01-14). Located side-by-side, you can get the best of both worlds easily in one single location. The former is manned by two elderly gentlemen with one of them frying up a decent plate of oyster omelette as the ratio of eggs to batter were measured perfectly so that you get the optimal amount of eggy-ness and crispy ends. The latter, almost reminiscent of the ones I had from Wong Ah Wah in Kuala Lumpur, were perfectly grilled chicken wings. Usually, you only get the marinate on the skin but for here, you can literally taste it inside the meat as well.

Had the excellent Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee at Stall #46, owned by Aunty Mui Mui. This was a delicious dinner, the Hokkien Mee was excellent!
Loved this delicious curry puff at stall number 28. Nostalgic of the puffs that I used to eat back in my childhood.
My favourite part of any hawker Center - the carrot cake. This one was quite good, and mildly spicy.
That’s the name of the stall at the Food Centre in East Coast Park, where we settled for this plate of “yuan yang” carrot cake. Best of both world!
The delicious wings have this beautiful golden brown sheen. I highly recommend squeezing a bit of the line and dipping the chicken in the chilli sauce. The tanginess of the lime plus the spicy kick from the chilli just enhances the taste of the chicken.

after a good sweat-it-out. This $5 plate from stall 21 is so sumptuous, and a generous serving I barely finished it. It's prawn mee how I like it - soaking in prawn essence, eggy fragrance, thin beehoon and thick noodles, with fatty pork slices.
Childhood favourite!!! Generous generous amount of egg (deal breaker for me) and the black sauce was not too sweet. There was also a caramelised burnt note to the dark sauce which provided and interesting element to the dish
Love love love this popiah! It’s flavourful, packed with ingredients and intensely garlicky. Abit pricey (2.20 for a roll) but what a delicious treat!!!
