Wan Dao Tou Assam Laksa

Street Food · Bib

The third-generation owner makes his famous laksa noodle soup according to his grandparents’ recipe dating back 50 years ago. The soup strikes a fine balance between sweetness, sourness and spiciness, while the cucumber, shallot and pineapple cut through the heat nicely. The starter platter is also worth-trying.

Ravi's Famous Apom Manis

Street Food · Bib

Since 1920, this stall has been selling its famous apom: their crispy crêpes with a soft, puffy centre cooked in claypot over charcoal are fluffier and more coconutty than most. Come early – they tend to sell out by 9:30am.

1.1km

Winn's Cafe

Peranakan · Bib

Run by a husband-wife team, Winn’s Cafe is situated in a detached house with dining rooms spread over two storeys, the upper floor of which exhibits work by local artists. The menu features Peranakan classics, such as otak otak fish cake seasoned with coconut milk and local herbs grown in their backyard and boasts silky smooth texture. Asam tumis stingray seduces with bouncy, flavoursome meat and a rich, complex sauce made with nine herbs.

1.3km

Duck Blood Curry Mee

Street Food · Bib

Hidden in a Malaysian-style café, this shop serves mee in a savoury-sweet white curry base made with coconut milk that is freshly prepared every day. Among the various toppings offered, roasted pork is phenomenal. Make sure you try the homemade chilli sauce.

Hot Bowl White Curry Mee

noodles, ramen, diner, local, regional, malaysian · Bib

White curry mee is served in a coconut milk-based broth with a bowl of curry paste on the side so that you can adjust the heat to your liking. The curry paste is available for sale by the bottle; it takes two hours to hand-stir the spices with dried shrimps and chillies. Optionally, pair your mee with deboned steamed chicken, spiced loh bak or Teochew guang jiang. The clear broth noodle soup with chicken meatballs is also worth trying.

Ivy's Nyonya Cuisine

peranakan · Bib

This simple restaurant has been run by a husband-wife team for over 15 years; Ivy helms the kitchen while her husband waits on the tables. Following a change of venue in 2024, the room is now bigger and better, but you can rest assured - the menu hasn’t changed one bit. Check out the sharing set menus that include their best-selling Peranakan dishes, like Kapitan chicken curry and Joo Hoo Char – spicy stir-fried mixed veggies in chili paste. Reservations recommended.

3.0km

Siam Road Char Koay Teow

Street Food · Bib

Open for half days, this small store draws long queues – mostly tourists and young customers. They serve just one dish: stir-fried koay teow. The wok-fried flat rice noodles emit a charcoal aroma, are well seasoned and come with quality ingredients that can be spiced to taste.

3.0km

Green House Prawn Mee & Loh Mee (223 Jalan Burma)

Street Food · Bib

For over 30 years, the regulars have been returning for its Hokkien prawn mee, loh mee, or a mix of both. The red prawn soup made with pork bones and prawn shells boasts deep umami. Twelve additional toppings are also available.
