Hawker Fare

Be prepared to wait at Song Kee for your super bouncy fishballs and crazy fragrant her giao (fish dumplings), because according to Dixon Chan, it's "The best fishball mee pok in SG". Greedykat Scruffs agrees, describing the noodles here as "local fare that is so satisfying :9 they're generous too, with 6 balls a bowl for $3.50!"

This bakery really takes you back to your childhood. Just like the good ol' days, these traditional buns are stuffed chockful of ingredients like otah, hae bee hiam, coconut, kaya, luncheon meat... The list is almost neverending. They do super simple banana and walnut cakes as well. The best way to enjoy these baked goods is fresh out of the oven, which is not that hard because the buns just keep flying off the shelves. The fact that people buy them by the box is testament to how good they are. Bonus points for cheap prices!
