Around since the 1970s, Beach Road Prawn Noodle House is located along East Coast Road. Here, you can find the lesser-seen Prawn with Pig Tail Mee ($9.50/$13.50), comprising their signature hae mee zhnged up with pig tail. A must-get, though, is their Jumbo Prawn Mee ($13.50): you get prawns significantly larger than the ones found elsewhere, along with a perfectly balanced briny and prawny broth 🦐

Tong Ah Eating House has been around since 1939, and it has become one of the most recognisable coffee shops in Singapore 🥰 If you’re dropping by for breakfast, be sure to get their crowd favourite Combo A ($6.20), which consists of traditional kaya toast, soft-boiled eggs, and a coffee or tea of your choice.

Boasting more than 60 years of histroy to their name is Balestier Road Hoover Rojak at Whampoa Makan Place 🤤 The menu only sees one single item: rojak that’s priced at $4 or $5 depending on the portion. A plate of rojak comes with a medley of fruits, cucumber, tau pok, you tiao, and our favourite—springy jellyfish!

For Fuzhou cuisine, Seow Choon Hua Resturant is the place to visit as they have been around for more than seven decades. For starters, get the Fishball Fish Dumpling Noodle ($5) starring fishballs hand-stuffed with meat and handmade fish dumplings submerged in a robust broth 😋 If you’d like something different, we recommend the Red Wine Chicken Flour Vermicelli (from $6), a popular dish featuring house-fermented red glutinous rice wine soup with mee sua!
