The recipe at Original Changi Ten Mile Fried Carrot Cake has remained the same since the 1950s. It began when Mr Quek Sio Tee went around the kampong with his brother, selling plates of fried carrot cakes for a living. Fast-forward some 70 years, Sio Tee is now joined by his daughter Elenda Quek, where they continue to fry up the same time-tested plate of carrot cake ($4/$5) till today.

Established 30 years ago, this family business specialises in Teochew braised duck rice and kway chap – hence the name.

You can always count on the ‘Original Katong Laksa’ to provide reliable bowls of spicy noodles. In each serving, the noodles are deliberately cut short, and comes with a good amount of shrimp, sambal, and robust gravy to make slurping down a bowl of Janggut Laksa (from $6.50) all too easy. For maximum enjoyment, it’s recommended that you consume the bowl within one hour of delivery, but we reckon that shouldn’t be a problem. Also on its delivery menu: a DIY laksa set ($29.90) that’s good for five people, curry chicken with rice (from $6.50) or bread (from $7.50), and muah chee ($2.80).

Yes, Song Fa Bak Kut Teh might attract the tourists, but its peppery broth is good enough to get the locals queuing as well.

Its delivery menu will bring you servings of soup with pork ribs ($8.15/$10.50) or prime spare ribs ($9.95), along with side dishes of braised pig’s trotters ($8.15), salted vegetables ($2.80/ $3.85), homemade ngoh hiang ($9.75), and the all-important dough fritters ($3) to soak up all that goodness.

Everything is painstakingly handmade at this wonton noodle stall located in Yishun Park Hawker Centre. Owner Jim Yeoh makes a fresh batch of egg noodles daily using just eggs and flour, kneading the mixture till it forms a smooth elastic dough. The noodles might come topped with wontons and slices of char siew ($4.50) that Jim roasts daily, or beef brisket ($5.50) that bubbles in a flavourful braising sauce in the kitchen. During this period, Jim will also be selling sets of uncooked noodles, shrimp wonton, and shrimp dumplings for those who wish to prepare them at home.
