Places To Eat

Located just beside the SMU admin building in town, this little steakhouse is a go-to for inexpensive steaks. With set lunches (including 2 sides) going for only $10, it is no doubt that it has become a popular place for uni students and the working crowd. Signatures includes the Specialty Angus Ribeye and the Teriyaki Chicken Steak. They come in big portions, and there's no GST, service charge!

Not only do they serve standard zi char items, New Ubin also dabbles in Angus steak and German pork trotters. The famous steak (reasonable at $10 per 100g) comes with potato wedges, caramalized onions and amazing, heart-stopping fried rice cooked in the beef fat. Their standout zi char dishes include the Salted Egg Squid, Har Cheong Gai, and of course, crab!

Everyone knows char kway teow is a sinfully delicious dish, and good ones are hard to find. The char kway teow here is coated in a sweet, special mixture of sauces and with noticeably more egg than elsewhere. Plump cockles, beansprouts and good ol' crunchy pork lard make this even better. Freshly fried, greasy char kway teow laden with wok hei? It doesn't get better than this.
