An exciting discovery thanks to Pasir Panjang Boy, Tinoq who raved about the soya sauce chicken at this Chinatown stall. Go for the Hong Kong style style chicken, but stay for the beef tendon noodles and a lovely chat with the friendly Chef Xie! He also cooks up off menu items for regular customers and does a mean Pork Knuckle with Nam Yu (red fermented bean curd).

Let’s explore a scenic section of the Northeast Riverine Loop via Punggol Promenade Nature Walk & Punggol Waterway Park then reward ourselves with a hearty and wholesome meal at Hakka Leipopo in One Punggol Hawker Centre. Their nostalgic Malaysian-style thunder tea rice is unique because instead of ikan billis, they use dried shrimp (hae bee). And their deep-fried and generously stuffed yong tau foo with chilli sauce are also a must!

This week, we’re back on the Rail Corridor—walking the southern stretch from Buona Vista to Alexandra Village Food Centre for The Old Stall Hokkien Street Famous Prawn Mee. I tried their bestselling dry-style noodles with pork ribs and prawns, coated in house-made sambal. Served on the side, a bowl of their special soup. For extra oomph, their signature chilli powder fried with hae bee is a must!

There’s nothing better than capping off a scenic walk with a well-earned meal, so after exploring the Southern Ridges, let's check out Daliman’s Corner at Seah Im Food Centre – a family-run stall that’s been serving nostalgia on a plate for three generations, based on grandpa Daliman’s traditional recipes. Mee Rebus with Satay and Gado-gado are must-tries, with their signature peanut sauce tying everything together. Also, don't leave without enjoying a Bergedil or two!
