I went for the (S$5.50), which had satay sauce drizzled on top. The chicken was incredibly tender while the sambal packed a real kick. This was definitely both filling and super tasty.

Choose from a few different types of noodles, like mee pok, bee hoon and kway teow. Of course, kway teow is recommended to be paired with the soup variety.

Head on down to Lorong 5 Toa Payoh Food Centre Fish Soup to get yourself a heaping bowl of fish soup on a cold day. The Fish Soup with Minced Meat (S$7.50) is a recommended dish, served with thick slices of lightly seasoned batang fish and chunks of minced meat. The savoury notes of the meat complement the natural sweetness of the fish, and the soup has a clean, fresh taste. You definitely won't want to miss out on trying their chilli, which is tangy and adds dimensions to the fish soup. Zhng up your soup by mixing it in for some extra spice. Tue, Wed & Fri: 12pm – 6pm Closed from Sat to Mon & Thu What better way to complete your meal than to have a refreshing beverage to pair? Instead of going for the usual kopi, teh or Milo, how about getting some fresh, 100 percent natural juice at Healthy Fruit Juice, freshly blended to order right in front of you? The humble shop displays its fresh produce like apples, oranges, carrots, pears and assorted veggies right at the front, so you know that you're getting the real deal, and not packaged drinks with tons of added sugar. The Sugarcane Juice (S$2) is a Singaporean favourite, and the sugarcane is grinded right in front of you when you order it. This naturally sweet drink has unique grassy undertones that make it taste like unlike any other drink. Wed to Sun: 11.30am – 11.30pm Closed on Mon & Tue If you are in need of a late night meal while in Toa Payoh, you're in luck, for He Jia Huan Ban Mian Mee Hoon Kway opens until 2am from Monday to Saturday and 1am on Sunday!

The Bean Curd + (S$2) really surprised me—while I'd expected it to be very sweet, it was really not that sweet at all, with the gula melaka sauce lending a rich, deep, slightly burnt aroma to the smooth bean curd. The Grass Jelly + Aloe Vera (S$2.50), on the other hand, was so refreshing and jiggly. It was topped with shaved ice too, making it an even better choice on a hot day. +65 6258 2982 Daily: 11.30am – 12.30am Heng Heng Fried Carrot Cake Fried Oyster has a pretty simple menu.

Each portion of carrot cake comes stir-fried with egg and topped with chives. You can't go wrong with that. The Fried Oyster, on the other hand, is probably a good pick for those who enjoy the briny flavours of oyster, mixed with the simpleness of fried eggs. Daily: 12pm – 3pm & 5pm – 11pm Nothing screams 'comfort' more than a hearty bowl of handmade congee. At Blk 75 Lorong 5 Toa Payoh Food Centre, you'll find these tasty bowls at Wang Wang Congee.

10 spots at Quality Road Hawker Centre to fuel up in the West industrial area
If you've never heard of Quality Road Hawker Centre, you're definitely not alone— I had no idea that this hawker centre even existed until I wandered around the Boon Lay area one day. Located a 10 minute bus ride away from Boon Lay Interchange, Quality Road Hawker Centre is a small food centre nestled within the West industrial area and mainly serves the industrial and factory workers from the surrounding buildings. This hawker centre is so lowkey that most of its tenants can't even be found on social media or the general internet, meaning that you just have to head down for yourself to find out about them. A large portion of its stalls operate at irregular timings— when I asked the stall owners about their opening hours, some commented that they open whenever they feel like it, and close once they sell out. Perhaps you've just obtained a new job in the Quality Road area, or maybe you just happened to stumble upon the hawker centre by chance. Regardless, here are 10 spots at Quality Road Hawker Centre to fuel up in the West industrial area. Seng Kitchen is arguably the most well-known stall from the discreet Quality Road Hawker Centre. This zichar stall is popular for its Curry Fish Head (S$28/S$32), though it also offers Hong Kong Steamed Fish Head / Fish Tail (S$28/S$32) and Steamed Fish Head (S$28/S$32). You must try their Hakka Pork Chop (S$13/S$20), which comes with beautifully crunchy and salty fried chunks on its exterior. For an individual serving, go for the affordable Hakka Pork Chop Rice + Egg + Vegetable (S$5.50), which is very generous in terms of portion size. I also got the Fried Chicken Wings (S$13/S$20) to try— honestly, these seemed more grilled than fried, though they still had great flavour. +65 8143 9698 Mon to Fri: 10.30am – 2pm Closed on Sat & Sun The menu at Long Yue Fish Soup is surprisingly quite diverse— aside from the titular fish soup and ban mian dishes, this stall also has random dishes like Curry Chicken (S$5), Braised Pig's Trotter (S$6), Pig Intestine Chicken Soup (S$6.50) and even with Fish Slices (S$7). I opted for the Soup (S$4.50), which was pretty average and lacking in tom yum flavour, but still very filling and well-portioned for its price. I was intrigued by the Sesame Oil Chicken (S$6), which came with a side of rice. The (fried sauce noodles) (S$5) was saucy and topped with plenty of ingredients too. While the dishes weren't outstanding, they were very comforting and affordable with large portions. Mon to Fri: 5am – 2pm Closed on Sat & Sun In search of a prata fix? Quality Best Roti Prata is where you'll find all your classic prata dishes. A Plain will set you back S$1.20, while with Egg comes in at S$1.80. If you love eggs, the stall even has with Double Egg for S$2.50. Other prata options include Egg w/ Onion (S$2.30), Cheese (S$2.20) and Egg Cheese (S$2.70). Each prata comes served with a small dish of curry for dipping. If you aren't a big fan of prata, you can order their Chicken for S$7 or the Mutton for $7.50. Take note that the briyani dishes are only available on Thursdays. Mon to Sat: 6am – 1pm Closed on Sun Leong Kee Chicken Rice serves up a mean plate of chicken rice, if I do say so myself. Prices for a plate of chicken rice start from just S$3.80, and you can even order their meat in bulk— get a Whole Steamed Chicken or Whole Roasted Chicken for S$30 each, and if you prefer duck, opt to enjoy a Whole Roasted Duck for S$50. They also have Roasted Pork or Char Siew at S$48 for 1kg and S$25 for 1/2kg. I got the Chicken Thigh Rice and after adding an egg, my total came up to S$5.70. The fragrant rice and tender chicken are commendable. Other dish options include the Drumstick Chicken Rice (S$5), Roasted Pork Rice (S$3.80) and the classic Steamed Chicken Rice (S$4). You can also add Gizzard or Liver for S$0.70. Mon to Sat: 6.30am until sold out Closed on Sun Who doesn't love a good plate of economical rice? The cai fan stall, Sin Chong Cooked Rice, is where you can enjoy tasty and affordable ingredients on top of your rice. This stall opens at 4am, meaning that super early risers can go down to enjoy a nice breakfast before heading off to work— take note that they sell bee hoon in the earlier opening hours. In the later hours of the morning and afternoon, you can indulge in their selection of cooked food, including twice-cooked pork, scrambled eggs with chives, steamed dumplings and curry chicken. Of course, all sorts of vegetables and cooked meats are available for your perusal. Prices aren't indicated anywhere on the stall, so you'll have to enquire with the stall owners on how much each portion is. Mon to Sat: 4am – 3pm Closed on Sun 11 best food places at Jurong Point for munching in the West's largest mall Indah Sakura is a halal-certified stall within Quality Road Food Centre, selling Malay food and assorted ingredients at very low prices. Begin by selecting your base for just S$2, with options like Mee Goreng, Kway Teow Goreng, Mee Maggie Goreng and Bee Hoon Goreng. A small selection of dishes like chicken, fish and prawns are available for you to add on, nasi padang style. Alternatively, go for classic Malay dishes like (S$3.50), (S$3.50) and (S$3.50). Who could miss out on a nice plate of Nasi Lemak, sold here at S$4? Indah Sakura has special dishes on certain days too— if you visit on Saturdays, you'll be treated to Ayam Penyet for S$5. Meanwhile, you can get a plate of Biryani with toppings like mutton or fried chicken on Tuesdays and Fridays for S$5.50. Mon to Sat: 5.30am – 1pm Closed on Sun No hawker centre meal is complete without a refreshing drink to pair. Linda Food & Beverage offers your classic coffeeshop drinks like teh and kopi, as well as less common drinks like Honey Lemon, Tea and 3 Layer Ice. I also spotted bags of traditional toast hanging from the stall, offering a quick and convenient breakfast or snack. I ordered a 3 Layer Teh C Ice and opted to add Golden Pearl, and my total amounted to S$2.50. Unfortunately, my drink distinctly lacked the 3 layer component— it was served to me like a regular cup of Teh C. At least the golden pearls were chewy. Prices aren't indicated anywhere on the storefront, so you'll have to enquire about them with the stall owners. Mon to Sat: 4am – 6pm Closed on Sun Wok This Way is another cai fan stall within Quality Road Hawker Centre. Here, you can pick either rice or porridge as your base, and select from a pretty decent spread of ingredients like fried fish, fried chicken, braised pork and assorted veggies. You can also get a whole fried chicken thigh too. I went for a base of rice topped with braised pork, curry chicken, an omelette and cabbage, and was surprised when my total was only S$5.60— perhaps I've gotten accustomed to exorbitant cai fan prices. My food was pretty decent, with each ingredient providing the dish with a different flavour. The braised pork was a bit on the tougher side, but the curry chicken was nice and meaty. +65 9632 2802 Mon to Sat: 5.30am – 3pm Closed on Sun Can't get enough of chicken rice and other roasted meat? Check out Huat Heng Roasted Delights to treat yourself to a variety of roasted meat rice and noodles.

Enjoy various add-ons to zhng up your plate even more. How do Oyster Sauce Vegetables (S$2/S$3), Soup (S$4) and Braised Egg (S$0.60) sound? Mon to Sat: 7am until sold out Closed on Sun Not a meat eater? Not to worry, for Quality Road Hawker Centre has a vegetarian food stall, too!
