No-frills zi char spot Two Chefs is so popular that having a reservation doesn’t guarantee immediate seating, but the wait will prove worthwhile. Consider the tender, one-of-a-kind Butter Pork Ribs (from $8) coated in condensed milk powder and the XO San Lou Hor Fun (from $7) with full-on wok hei.

Westies who frequent Two Chefs know to head down as early as they can in order to snag a table at this super popular zi char stall (or be prepared to wait 30 minutes or more). It's one of the more affordable options in the West, great for penny-pinching students looking to host a class gathering. Get the famous Butter Pork Ribs (from $8) — deep-fried to a crisp, the juicy pork ribs are showered with a melt-in-your-mouth milk powder that is addictively good! Our Burpple community also loves the chilled Drunken Cockles ($7) topped with garlic, chilli padi and spring onion, as well as the comforting Three Egg Spinach (from $8). The latter comes with a tasty, luscious gravy that you must drizzle all over your rice. Shiok.
Avg Price: $10 per person
