We tried Singapore's worst-rated char kway teow
It's been a while since our last dive into the 'worst-rated' series. This time, I'm bringing it back with a dish close to my heart — char kway teow. According to Google reviews, the title of Singapore's worst-rated CKT currently goes to Feng Ji Char Kway Teow at Beauty World Food Centre, sitting at a 2.5/5 star rating from 90 reviews (at the time of writing). Beauty World is my hood, so I was surprised (maybe even slightly offended) when my colleague Aaron asked if I'd heard of the stall and its shaky reputation. I've eaten from Feng Ji a few times as a kid, thanks to my parents' weekend dabao runs. Yet, I don't recall it ever being bad, let alone the worst-rated in SG. A quick scan of the reviews revealed 2 recurring complaints: portions too small for the S$5 price tag and a distinct lack of . Still, it's char kway teow — one of my all-time favourite hawker dishes, and in my neighbourhood hawker centre, no less. I had to see (and taste) for myself if things had really gone downhill. What I tried at Feng Ji Char Kway Teow Feng Ji sells just one dish: Char Kway Teow, in S$5 and S$6 portions. I went with the S$5 version, which I received after a 15-minute wait, just enough time for me to get my usual yuan yang fix. At first glance, the portion looked noticeably small — but upon pushing the noodles toward the centre of the plate, it looked a little more respectable. I dug into the dish, hunting for ingredients like they were gold — and unfortunately, they kind of were. It was a sparse affair here… I counted exactly 3 skinny slices of lap cheong (Chinese sausage) and 3bpieces of the quintessential CKT topping, hum (cockles). The lap cheong was pretty decent — slightly sweet, with lightly charred edges that added a faint smokiness (ironically, more than the noodles, but I'll get to that). With only 3 meagre slices, it didn't do much to elevate the dish, so I would've loved a few more just to bulk up the bite. As for the hum, they were briny to the point of being almost overpowering, almost as though I had accidentally swallowed a mouthful of seawater. Not exactly unpleasant if you enjoy hum, but in a dish that was otherwise mild and restrained, it stood out in a slightly jarring way. Char Kway Teow Showdown: Outram Park Fried Kway Teow Mee vs Hill Street Fried Kway Teow Now, tackling the second most common complaint in the reviews — lack of wok hei. I wish I could rebut it, but I have to agree. That signature smoky, charred aroma that gives char kway teow its addictive depth was very mild, almost nowhere to be found. While the noodles were evenly coated in a dark soy sauce and had a pleasant sweetness to them, they lacked the richness and intensity I'd hoped for. Not bad, but not quite memorable either. Feng Ji's version felt like it was playing it a bit too safe. It leaned on the lighter side, which could be a plus for some, but not what I'm looking for when I order char kway teow. I want grease. I want guilt. And I want to feel my arteries clogging just a little bit. That said, it wasn't all disappointing. I especially enjoyed the bits of fried egg that had absorbed the dark soy sauce beautifully, becoming little pockets of sweet and savoury goodness that I looked forward to in every bite. It added a much-needed richness to the plate that somewhat redeemed the lack of wok hei, if even just a bit. Final Thoughts Seeing as to how I completely wiped out this plate, I think it's safe to say that Feng Ji Char Kway Teow isn't deserving of the 'worst-rated' title, though it doesn't do quite enough to stand out. The portion size is suitable for those with a smaller appetite, and the flavours are decent. But it felt more like a safe, toned-down version of a dish that's meant to be bold and indulgent; the kind that requires me to down a litre of water afterwards. Sparse ingredients, mild wok hei, and a general lack of oomph hold it back. If you're already at Beauty World Food Centre, it's not the worst choice. But I likely wouldn't make a detour for this CKT if I wasn't in the area.

10 best stalls at Toa Payoh Palm Spring Market for a spring in your step
When we talk about hawker food in Toa Payoh, the big names at Lorong 8, Lorong 1, and maybe even the buzzing HDB Hub are often brought up. With multiple powerhouse hawker centres in the area, it's easy to overlook the quieter corners of this mature estate, like Toa Payoh Palm Spring Market at 93 Lorong 4 Toa Payoh. Tucked under a cluster of HDB blocks, this under-the-radar gem rarely makes the foodie headlines. Guess that's what I'm here for, then! With just 28 humble stalls, this cosy enclave is home to hawkers with loyal followings, from Singapore's best-rated kway chap to popiah served at the Istana. 1. Cai Ji Fishball Noodle (#01-59) Kicking this list off with a cult favourite amongst Toa Payoh residents, 58-year-old Cai Ji Fishball Noodle sees arguably the longest queues in the hawker centre throughout the day, from as early as their opening at 6am. The menu is delightfully straightforward, offering just 2 versions of Teochew-style fishball noodles, Dry and Soup. Prices start at S$4.50 for Small, but after queuing, you might as well pay the S$6 for the Big bowl. Regulars swear by the springy noodles, handmade fishballs and meatballs, tied together by that punchy chilli sauce. The dry version here is a real crowd-pleaser, featuring al dente mee pok tossed in a savoury, umami-laden sauce blend. Meanwhile, the soup version holds its own, with a cloudy, flavour-packed broth that hints at the long hours of simmering. Each bowl is comforting and packed with that old-school flavour that makes for a soulful breakfast or lunch fix (if you can brave the wait). Fri to Wed: 6am – 2pm Closed on Thu 2. Ping Xiang Wanton Mee (#01-46) Following closely behind Cai Ji (in terms of queue length) is Ping Xiang Wanton Mee, another hot favourite at Palm Spring Market. Run by a friendly husband-and-wife duo from Ipoh, this humble stall serves up Malaysian-style wanton mee, where the noodles come dressed in a darker, richer soy-based sauce than the typical Singaporean version. From just S$4 for Small and S$5 for a Big portion of Wanton Mee, you'll get springy mee kia topped with lean char siew and a side of plump, juicy wantons in a light broth. The sauce is robust without being too salty, and the noodles soak it all up beautifully. You can choose to add on Dumplings or Chicken Feet, which will set you back anywhere between S$2 to S$4. The lady boss is especially warm, greeting customers with a smile. That alone makes the queue feel a little less painful. +65 9755 7741 Tue to Sun: 4.30am – 1pm Closed on Mon 3. Kuey Chap 大佬粿汁 (#01-40) Kway chap lovers might already be in the loop, but this quiet hawker centre is home to the best-rated in Singapore, with a 4.5/5 rating and 169 reviews on Google Reviews (at the time of writing). Each bowl of (S$0.70) comes with silky rice noodle sheets that soak up the herbal, not-too-savoury broth without turning mushy. Diners can customise their spread with a variety of braised picks, including Big Intestine (S$1.50), Pork Stomach (S$1.50), Pork skin (S$0.60), (S$0.60 for 2 pieces), and Fried Fish Cake (S$0.80). Keep your eyes peeled for the hidden gem on the side menu — 粉肠 () or Pig Powder Intestine (S$3), scribbled on a small piece of paper beside the main board. This stall's rating is reflected in its rich, herbal broth that doesn't overpower, perfectly cleaned offal, and kway sheets that soak up flavour without falling apart. Just be sure to come early, as they sell out fast. Tue & Wed, Fri to Sun: 5.30pm – 11pm Closed on Mon & Thu 4. Western Boy (#01-58) Western Boy isn't just another hawker Western food stall. Well, technically it is, but here's the kicker: not a single dish is priced above S$8. Opened in Mar 2025, this new stall is a value-for-money Western fix with mains like their Chicken Cutlet w/ Rice & Coleslaw starting from just S$4. They're turning heads with highlights like their Signature Chicken Chop (S$6.90) and Chicken Schnitzel w/ Spaghetti & Coleslaw (S$7.90), which look just like the menu photos, might I add. The chicken schnitzel here is a STAR. This massive, well-seasoned fried cutlet is smothered in cheese sauce and mayo, delivering indulgent and comforting bites that taste like childhood. If you're undecided on what to get, take my advice and just go for this. Mon: 11am – 2.30pm Tue to Sat: 11am – 2.30pm, 4pm – 8.30pm Closed on Sun 5. Tea Inn Bak Kut Teh (#01-33) If you're longing for a Malaysian‑style herbal bak kut teh experience, look no further. Run by Jenere, a millennial hawker who has spent years honing his craft, Tea Inn Bak Kut Teh delivers aromatic claypot herbal BKT that stands out in a sea of Singapore's peppery versions. Their signature Claypot Herbal (S$6.50) comes steaming with fork‑tender pork ribs, enoki mushrooms, and paper‑thin beancurd skin swimming in a dark, fragrant broth infused with a plethora of herbs. Also on the menu are Braised Pork Trotters (S$6.50) and Braised Pork Rice (S$4). You'll never have to worry about consistency here, as Jenere discards anything that doesn't meet his standards, prepping fresh batches instead. With dedication this genuine to his craft, it's no wonder locals return time and time again. +65 9649 4175 Tue to Sun: 8am – 1.30pm Closed on Mon 11 hawker stalls at Blk 75 Lorong 5 Toa Payoh Food Centre to feast like a heartlander 6. Zhi Xiang Special Lor Mee 智翔特制滷麵 (#01-49) Zhi Xiang's lor mee sure lives up to its 'special' name with a thick, gooey gravy that clings to every strand of noodle. It's rich and deeply comforting, making it a consistent favourite among regulars of the hawker centre. No MSG? No problem. This health-conscious stall stands out with its MSG-free bowls of (S$4/S$5/S$6) that still deliver a hearty and robust flavour. Instead of the typical fried fish, they use fried shredded yam (that only comes with the S$5 version and above), adding a crispy edge and creamy centre that brings a surprising texture to each bite. This one's a wholesome twist on a hawker classic, and a favourite among those who like their indulgence a little lighter. +65 8233 0721 Tue to Sun: 5am – 2pm Closed on Mon 7. ABC Popiah (#01-34) ABC Popiah is a true Toa Payoh icon. Known for its S$2 and nostalgic charm, the stall helmed by 80-year-old hawker Tay Chen Boon has even been featured on Minister Ng Eng Hen's socials and invited to serve at Istana events! Surely, not every hawker can boast that. What sets their popiah apart is the surprise mix of textures and flavours. Alongside the usual juicy turnip, egg, and garlicky-sweet sauce, you'll find crunchy fried fish crumbs and crabstick tucked inside, giving each bite a savoury boost. The skin is soft yet chewy, and the filling is light while still packed with just enough flavour, making this a satisfying snack for any time of the day. Tue to Sun: 8am – 7pm Closed on Mon 8. Hong Kong Style Kitchen (#01-44) Hong Kong Style Kitchen 港式小炒 brings authentic Cantonese-style zi char to the hawker centre, courtesy of a Hong Kong couple led by the husband, who is an ex–5-star chef. Fun Fact, the Bitter Gourd w/ Fish Slices (S$10) is my favourite cai fan/zi char dish to get no matter the stall, and this one does it stunningly. Crisp, lightly battered fish slices are stir-fried with crunchy gourd in a fermented black bean sauce for the perfect balance. Pair this with dishes like the Steamed Pork Patties w/ Salted Fish (S$10) and Garlic Fried Seasonal Vege (S$10) for a balanced variety. Portions here are generous and prices remain wallet-friendly — all dishes fall between S$10 and S$15, except the HK Style Steamed fish that varies based on size. Service can get busy during its short opening hours, so be prepared to wait or head down for an earlier dinner. P.S. They only accept cash! Tue to Sun: 4.30pm – 8pm Closed on Mon 9. Ren Ren Chicken Rice (#01-51) It's not a hawker centre without a chicken rice stall, is it? At Palm Spring Market, that title goes to Ren Ren Chicken Rice. Offering only steamed chicken, this stall delivers a solid plate of the beloved classic — no gimmicks, just ol' good chicken rice. Priced at just S$4, the Chicken Rice offers a generous portion of tender, juicy chicken served over fragrant, fluffy rice. For just S$0.50 more, you can upgrade to the Drumstick, a worthy splurge for more succulent bites. Each plate is best topped off with the essential sauce trio of chilli, ginger paste, and dark soy sauce, perfectly rounding out the experience. They also serve Curry Chicken Noodles (S$4/S$5), featuring a rich, lemak broth that's comforting and aromatic. Daily: 730am – 2pm 10. New Ocean 新海 (#01-38) If you're craving a noodle dish but want to branch out from the usual suspects, look no further than New Ocean 新海. They're known for their KL-style Signature Pork Noodles (S$6.80). Think silky noodles drenched in dark sauce, topped with a generous mix of minced pork, pork slices, liver, intestines, and pork balls. Steeped in a rich, lardy broth that packs serious umami, it's a dish that'll linger in your mind even after weeks of trying it. New Ocean also serves a clean-tasting Red Grouper Sliced Fish Soup (S$8), though the pork noodles remain the fan favourite. +65 8758 5131 Daily: 8.30am – 2.30pm 11 best hawker stalls to visit at Toa Payoh Lorong 8 Market & Food Centre The post 10 best stalls at Toa Payoh Palm Spring Market for a spring in your step appeared first on

‘You can still live a comfortable life in SG without much money,' Swiss TikToker says
SINGAPORE: A Swiss woman who regularly documents her life in Singapore in videos on TikTok and YouTube recently went viral for saying how grateful she is for everything she has in the city-state. 'Compared to a place like Switzerland — where no hawkers exist and public transport is very expensive — you can still live a comfortable life in Singapore without much money,' wrote Mary Mueller in the caption to a June 5 video, which has reached over 100,000 views on TikTok. @swizzyinsg The reality of not being rich in Singapore.. And I am grateful for everything you see in this video. Compared to a place like Switzerland – where no hawkers exist and public transport is very expensive – you can still live a comfortable life in Singapore without much money. To me anything that enables me to stay here is worth it and I am grateful for every day I get to live and work in this beautiful city-state😌 And let's be honest: Hawker food is the best food anyway🤭 #singapore #singaporelife #hawkerfood #singaporehawker ♬ original sound – Mary – Mary In her video, Ms Mueller highlighted 'the reality of not being rich in Singapore,' which included 'always' taking public transport, moving four times in one year, doing her groceries at Value$, buying food at hawker centres—and taking home the rest when she can't finish it, and so on. She wrote that she is thankful for everything she featured in the video and that anything that allows her to stay in Singapore is worth it. 'I am grateful for every day I get to live and work in this beautiful city-state, and let's be honest: Hawker food is the best food anyway,' she added. Many TikTok users have since commented on her video, including one who said, 'I'm rich, but I still take the train and shop at Value Dollar. No need to waste money.' Another sympathised with Ms Mueller's point about having to move several times. When asked why, she explained that landlords continue to raise rents. Some even do so mid-contract and are willing to pay back rental deposits just to get tenants to move out. When a commenter wrote, 'You are already rich if you are able to live in Singapore,' Ms Mueller agreed. There was some degree of pushback to the video, however. One TikTok user wrote, 'You still get a room with a nice view and eat a decent meal. You haven't met really poor people in Singapore yet.' 'It's all relative. What you have is luxury for someone else elsewhere,' another pointed out. Some told her that taking public transport and eating at hawker centres don't necessarily have anything to do with being rich. Others, however, wrote that they appreciate her perspective. 'Hey, welcome to the club of normal people living in the most expensive city in the world. There's many of us,' wrote one. 'I like that you shed a more general view of what the normalisation of life in SG is. CRA (Crazy Rich Asians) is a grossly misguided way of seeing Singapore that many younger migrants here for work think of in aspiration. Hope they don't get that picture only. It was never SG success and is not a future success of SG either.' /TISG Read also: Swiss woman says, in SG, queueing, chope, Singlish, calling people 'Uncles & Aunties' are 'bizarre Singaporean habits '
