Papparich

An established brand known for authentic Malaysian street food in its home country, Australia and Brunei (with over 90 restaurants), Papparich has only just begun to spread its wings here. Their freshly steamed and fluffy Hainan bread slathered with rich, creamy kaya is a breakfast for champions – and markedly better than any Ya Kun or Toast Box outlets – but the hawker dishes aren’t too shabby either. The tangy assam laksa ($10.90), wok hei-rich char kway teow ($9.90) and best-selling Super Rich combo ($16.90) – a gargantuan mishmash of rice, fried chicken drumstick, braised beef chunks, squid, potato and fiery sambal – are all well-worth the calories. Or if you’re there for dessert, don’t miss out on the silky tau foo fa king ($3.90) sweetened with gula melaka syrup.
