1. A Noodle Story

Amoy Street Food Centre, 01-39, 7 Maxwell Road
Open: Monday to Sunday (10am to 8pm)

Located at the bustling Amoy Street Food Centre, A Noodle Story serves up what it calls Singapore-style ramen to the ravenous office crowd and tourists in the city centre. Think: Japanese ramen noodles, topped with ingredients you’re more likely to find in local dishes, such as ngoh hiang fritters and wanton.

The modest hawker stall has been awarded the Bib Gourmand for nine consecutive years, so you best believe its offerings are legit — its constant lunchtime lines are also a testament to its quality.

Crowd favourites: Anyone new to this ought to try its classic, the Singapore-style ramen (S$13.50) — it comes with its springy noodles, braised char siew slices, ngoh hiang, wanton, and egg, tossed in its addictive signature sauce.

Add on the golden ebi fry (three pieces for S$5.70) if you’re keen on a bit more protein — the prawns it uses are bouncy, fresh, which contrast well with the ASMR-worthy crispy exterior.

2. Alliance Seafood 

Newton Food Centre, 01-27, 500 Clemenceau Avenue North
Open: Tuesday to Sunday (12pm to 10.30pm)

Zi char, which means “cook and fry” in Hokkien, is a quintessential part of the local food culture and everyone has their own go-to spots to indulge in wok-fried classics.

If you’re unfamiliar with the concept, the sheer amount of stalls out there and dishes can be overwhelming, which is why we think you could start with Alliance Seafood at Newton Food Centre, which has won the Bib Gourmand for its take on popular local seafood dishes.

Newton Food Centre can get quite warm and waiting there isn’t the most ideal of experiences, so if there’s anything you should order via GrabFood to enjoy the food in the comfort of your own abode, it’s this.

Crowd favourites: Without a doubt, go straight for the crabs — be it chilli crab, black pepper crab or BBQ crab (all S$55 each) — and grab a serving of fried buns (S$7.20) to soak up the sauces, while you’re at it.  It’s not the cheapest item on the menu, but it’s well worth every dollar.

Other seafood highlights include the sambal stingray (S$18), which can be a tad spicy so tread with caution. 

Order Alliance Seafood on GrabFood.

3. Anglo Indian Cafe & Bar

One Shenton, 01-08, 1 Shenton Way
Open: Monday to Sunday (11am to 10pm)

For the uninitiated, Anglo-Indian cuisine refers to the style of cuisine developed by the British who lived in India during the 19th century. They later incorporated Indian spices into their own cooking and brought it back home.

If you’re a fan of Indian fare and want to try something different, the five-time Bib Gourmand awardee Anglo Indian Cafe & Bar serves up a wide variety of vegetarian and regular dishes, spanning the gamut from street food to curries, and dum biryani.

Crowd favourites: Regulars swear by its butter chicken (S$26.16) and chicken tikka (S$21.80), which pack a good flavour punch, but are less spicy thanks to the Anglo influences.

For a more filling option, the biryanis are a solid go-to: The mutton dum biryani (S$26.16), which features boneless mutton and aromatic basmati rice, is a hot favourite. 

Order Anglo Indian Cafe & Bar on GrabFood.

4. Bismillah Biryani 

50 Dunlop Street
Open: Monday to Sunday (11.30am to 8.30pm)

Another dum biryani specialist, Bismillah Biryani has been awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand for a consecutive eight years since 2016 for its satisfying take on the Indian classic. Started by chef-owner Arif Salahuddin, Bismillah Biryani takes pride in its authentic, time-honoured rendition of the biryani, which is made a tad “healthier” with less curry gravy.

Crowd favourites: Any version of its dum biryani — chicken (S$10), mutton (S$15.50) and gish (S$18) — is sure to satisfy. Vegetarians will also be glad to know there’s a vegetable dum biryani (S$12) option, just for them.

If you’re team gravy, you might find its version a tad lacking, but its yoghurt-based raita served on the side makes up for it. If you’re still craving more sauce, get its mutton haleem (S$15), a sumptuously thick mutton stew with lentils. 

Order Bismillah Biryani on GrabFood.

5. Cheok Kee

Geylang Bahru Market & Food Centre, 01-35, 69 Geylang Bahru
Open: Monday to Sunday (12pm to 5pm)

It’s not easy to find places that do duck well —  and for cheap, too — but Cheok Kee, situated at the rustic Geylang Bahru Market & Food Centre, ticks both boxes. This store dishes out plates of tender soy-marinated duck served on top of a bed of steamed rice and a side of duck soup.

The food centre itself is crowded and the queue can get long at mealtimes, given that it’s typically run by only one or two people, so if we were you, we’d opt for GrabFood delivery if the craving hits. Oh, and if you head down, remember to use cash or risk the wrath of its already-busy stall owner.

Crowd favourites: The duck rice (S$5.60) — enough said. If you’re looking for add-ons, there’s viscera (S$2.80) or innards, and if you’re hosting a party, you can even opt for a whole duck (S$53).

Order Cheok Kee on GrabFood.

6. Da Shi Jia Big Prawn Mee

89 Killiney Road
Open: Monday to Sunday (11am to 10pm)

A four-time Michelin Bib Gourmand awardee, Da Shi Jia Big Prawn Mee specialises in prawn noodles with — as its name suggests — big prawns. In fact, it takes so much pride in the size of the crustaceans it serves up that its signboard has not one but three of the Chinese characters for the word “big”.

The three “big” characters are also a nod to its different prawn sizes — big, big big, or big big big. While its prawn noodles with plump, bouncy prawns are what got it its reputation, it is also known for its poached rice, or paofan.

Crowd favourites: If you’re not sure which prawn size or noodle type to go for, try its basic regular thin bee hoon & yellow noodles (S$9.65), which has big prawns and yellow noodles mixed with thin bee hoon, in a soup base. Its wok-fried big prawn white bee hoon (S$25.20) also comes with plenty of prawns and is brimming with wok hei.

Prefer rice? There’s also its big prawn poached rice (S$25.20), which comes with crispy rice bits, soaked in a robust prawn broth. 

Order Da Shi Jia Big Prawn Mee on GrabFood.

7. Delhi Lahori

Tekka Centre, 01-266, 665 Buffalo Road
Open: Monday to Sunday (9am to 11pm)

Tucked in the bustling Tekka Centre in Little India, Delhi Lahori is a small, Indian-Pakistani hawker stall specialising in the Indian flatbread known as naan. More specifically, Delhi Lahori charcoal bakes its version, ensuring that crispy exterior and soft, fluffy insides, with a slightly charred taste.

It’s a first-time Bib Gourmand awardee in the 2024 list, so the crowds are slowly, but steadily building up, but its prices have remained relatively budget-friendly, still.

Crowd favourites: Its naans — plain (S$2.30), garlic (S$3.30) and cheese (S$3.80) among others — are so good that they’re good to have on their own. But if you must have accompanying proteins or curries, its chicken tikka  (S$8.30) is a hit among its regulars. 

Order Delhi Lahori on GrabFood.

8. HJH Maimunah

11 Jalan Pisang
Open: Monday to Saturday (7.30am to 7.30pm)

If you love beef rendang, then you must most certainly check out HJH Maimunah, a family-owned restaurant that specialises in traditional Malay fare and also serves up a mean beef rendang rendition. It is currently run by second-generation owners who have even expanded its business to include frozen beef rendang and rendang paste.

Despite having been around for years, its portions have remained generous and its prices relatively affordable. As it’s a hotspot with local regulars and tourists, finding a space to sit can be difficult — getting GrabFood delivery might be ideal especially if you want to try a number of dishes.

Crowd favourites: You won’t go wrong with its all-inclusive nasi sambal goreng set (S$9.50), which comes with rice, sambal sotong, paru belado (spicy beef lung), sambal goreng jawa (stir-fried sambal tempeh, vegetables and prawn), begedil, and sambal tumis. If you want more, there’s its beef rendang which goes for S$16.50 for three pieces.

You can also get its frozen, ready-to-eat series delivered — there’s sambal goreng jawa (S$20), sambal goreng pengatin (S$27), sambal sotong (S$27), and premium beef rendang (S$36). 

Order HJH Maimunah on GrabFood.

9. Hoo Kee Bak Chang

Amoy Street Food Centre, 01-18, 7 Maxwell Road 
Open: Monday to Saturday (9am to 3pm)

Bak chang, or rice dumplings, are often consumed during Dragon Boat Festival but we’re sure you won’t mind having these Hoo Kee Bak Chang’s rice dumplings any time. An age-old brand, Hoo Kee was first started by Chew Hai Chwee in 1948, in a bid to provide for his family. He named the business after his two sons.

Despite expanding the business significantly since its early days, Hoo Kee still makes all of its bak changs fresh daily, with hand-picked ingredients. 

Crowd favourites: There aren’t very many, so if we were you, we’d get one of its three flavours: Chestnut rice dumpling (S$6), salted egg yolk with chestnut rice dumpling (S$7.50) and mushroom with chestnut rice dumpling (S$7.50). But if you want to just go for one (because, stomach space), then make it the deluxe all-in (S$9), which comprises all the ingredients. 

Order Hoo Kee Bak Chang on GrabFood.

10. Indocafe

35 Scotts Road
Open: Tuesday to Sunday (12pm to 3pm, 6pm to 10.30pm)

If you’re looking for a Peranakan restaurant with a difference, Indocafe is situated in a heritage black-and-white bungalow in the quieter part of Orchard Road. The restaurant is helmed by chef Heng Eng Ho, who has two decades of culinary experience under his belt, but still strives to be inventive when it comes to traditional Peranakan fare.

Crowd favourites: If we really had to choose some unique dishes that are well-loved, they’d be the Indocafe wagyu beef rendang (S$45.78) and the babi pongteh (S$33.79), which comes with iberico pork belly.

When ordering delivery, single diners can even opt for express bento sets (from S$15.26) that run the gamut from ayam buah keluak, to even wagyu beef rendang.

Order Indocafe on GrabFood.

11. Jalan Sultan Prawn Mee

2 Jalan Ayer
Open: Wednesday to Monday (8am to 3.30pm)

Despite being a newly crowned entrant to the Michelin Bib Gourmand Singapore 2024 list, Jalan Sultan Prawn Mee has been an #IYKYK spot for prawn mee lovers, for quite a while. This spot has been around for a good seven decades so stepping into this space feels like you’re going back in time.

Being a popular spot, it sells out pretty quickly after mealtimes, so if you want to get your hands on your dish of choice, getting it delivered with GrabFood is a good option.

Crowd favourites: The GrabFood menu is decidedly simple — if we were you, we’d get the signature pork rib & prawn noodle (S$9) so you get a bit of everything and a pig tail soup (S$9) for the full works. Unfortunately, its wuxiang fritters aren’t available through the app, but hey, anything to beat the queue, right? 

Order Jalan Sultan Prawn Mee on GrabFood.

12. Ji De Lai Hainanese Chicken Rice 

Chong Pang Market & Food Centre, 01-152, 105 Yishun Ring Road
Open: Monday to Sunday (7.30am to 7.30pm)

Ji De Lai Hainanese Chicken Rice is a simple chicken rice store located right in Yishun’s Chong Pang Market and Food Centre. When we first found out this was listed on the Bib Gourmand, a part of us wondered: Why travel all the way to Yishun for chicken rice, especially if we didn’t live close by?

Digging in, we got our answer — while it wasn’t the best chicken rice we’ve had to date, it was a pretty good place for its price point. The rice was brimming with flavour from the chicken broth it was cooked in, and the heavy-handed sauce on the chicken only added to the flavour bomb that it already was.

Crowd favourites: The chicken rice set meal for one (S$7.80) comprises a regular serving of its signature chicken rice and greens, and is a solid go-to, but if you prefer your meat tender, its chicken rice with thigh meat (S$6.50) is also a favourite.

Order Ji De Lai Hainanese Chicken Rice on GrabFood.

13. Jian Bo Tiong Bahru Shui Kueh

Tiong Bahru Market, 02-05, 30 Seng Poh Road
Open: Monday to Sunday (5.30am to 8.30pm)

Shui kueh, or chwee kueh, always remind me of family breakfasts in my childhood — my dad would wake up at the crack of dawn and head to Tiong Bahru Market to purchase these soft, fluffy rice cakes topped with salted diced radish (chai po) from heritage brand Jian Bo Tiong Bahru Shui Kueh.

Any discerning chwee kueh lover will know that though the Jian Bo brand has since branched out to several outlets around Singapore, the OG outlet at Tiong Bahru is where all the vibes are at, complete with the hustle and bustle of the market crowd.

Crowd favourites: The shui kueh (S$5 for five pieces), of course. Traditionalists will love how pillowy-soft Jian Bo’s rice cakes are — and how well they go with the savoury, almost-too-salty chai po topping.

If one dish isn’t enough, its steamed yam cakes (S$4.30 for two pieces) and chee cheong fun (S$4.30 for two pieces) are also pretty popular. 

Order Jian Bo Tiong Bahru Shui Kueh on GrabFood.

14. Joo Siah Bak Koot Teh

Kai Xiang Food Centre, 01-1215, Jurong East Avenue 1
Open: Tuesday to Sunday (8am to 7.15pm)

When it comes to bak kut teh or BKT in Singapore, everyone, and we really mean everyone, has their favourites. While Joo Siah Bak Koot Teh may be slightly off the radar compared to other bigger brand names, its offerings are by no means any less robust — regulars swear by its peppery soup, despite its deceptively clear appearance.

Crowd favourites: Anyone who heads to Joo Siah should first get a bowl of its namesake — the pork ribs soup (S$8.90). If you’re in need of more accompaniments, get its melt-in-the-mouth braised pork leg (S$8.90), dough fritters (S$2.50) and preserved vegetables (S$4.20).

Order Joo Siah Bak Koot Teh on GrabFood.

15. Koh Brother Pig’s Organ Soup

Tiong Bahru Market, 02-29, 30 Seng Poh Road 
Open: Tuesday to Sunday(9.30am to 2.30pm, 5pm to 7.30pm)

Those who love pig’s organ soup will know how hard it is to get a version that isn’t too gamey or “smelly” — thankfully, Bib Gourmand awardee Koh Brother Pig’s Organ Soup checks those boxes. This heritage brand has been serving up clear pig’s organ soup since 1995 and is currently run by its third-generation owners.

Crowd favourites: The soup with all the works — the pig’s organ soup (S$11) — is a must if you haven’t tried Koh Brother’s rendition before. The stall’s soup is clear, light and tastes extremely clean, making it palatable for any newbie to the innards game. If the sound of organs gets you squeamish, still, then opt for the tamer lean meat soup (S$8) or meatballs soup (S$8).

Order Koh Brother Pig’s Organ Soup on GrabFood.

16. Kok Sen Restaurant

2/4 Keong Saik Road
Open: Tuesday to Sunday (12pm to 2.15pm, 5pm to 9.15pm)

Kok Sen Restaurant is a perennial favourite zi char spot for anyone who’s in the know, Bib Gourmand award or not. This restaurant has been around for close to five decades and while it still dishes out classics such as its homemade yong tau foo, it’s since also introduced wok-fried classics, with a more modern twist.

Being a popular spot even before its award, it fills up quickly at meal times — we think ordering in via GrabFood and having its spread right in the comfort of your own home doesn’t sound like a bad choice at all.

Crowd favourites: Try its signature claypot yong tau foo (S$22.95), which comes doused with its special sauce. If you’re dining with a bigger party, its prawn paste chicken (S$28.95) and black bean dry hor fun (S$13.95) are firm favourites over the years. 

Order Kok Sen Restaurant on GrabFood.

17. Kwang Kee Teochew Fish Porridge

Newton Food Centre, 01-20, 500 Clemenceau Avenue North
Open: Tuesday to Sunday (11am to 8pm)

Singapore may be sweltering hot, but fish soup remains one of the go-to lunches especially on days you want to have something “light” or when you’re feeling a tad under the weather. Kwang Kee Teochew Fish Porridge is a brand that’s been around since the 1960s and its fresh, clean-tasting fish soup has won it a spot on the Bib Gourmand list since 2021.

If you’re wondering why there’s a special burst of flavour despite its seemingly benign appearance, it’s from a dash of sole fish powder added to the soup after hours of simmering fish bones.

Crowd favourites: The dual fish soup (S$9.90), which comes with fried and fresh fish slices in a flavourful, clear broth, are ideal for the indecisive diner.

If the OG works best for you, then its sliced fish porridge and sliced fish soup (S$8.50 each) are the perfect fix for the day you’re craving something soupy. 

Order Kwang Kee Teochew Fish Porridge on GrabFood.

18. Lagnaa Barefoot Dining

6 Upper Dickson Road
Open: Tuesday to Sunday (11.30am to 10.30pm)

Calling itself a place with the hottest and spiciest curry, Lagnaa Barefoot Dining may seem intimidating, even to those of us who can tolerate a bit of spice. In fact, it’s so well-known for its spice that it has an ongoing Chilli Challenge. But fret not, the spot allows you to customise your own spice level, so you won’t leave gasping for air and water.

The place, located within a three-storey shophouse in Little India, is also known for its laid-back, barefoot dining approach where you’re invited to take off your shoes and sit on the floor to partake in what the restaurant has to offer — it’s almost like stepping into someone’s home!

Crowd favourites: Though it is a Bib Gourmand lister, its prices are a tad more elevated compared to its counterparts, but well worth every dollar. Its butter chicken (S$30.80, with methi naan) and garlic naan (S$5.50) are perennial favourites. If you’re lazy to choose, it also has Michelin set meals, where it curates a variety of its menu offerings.

You can even order its various levels of curries as shots (S$27.50 for six shots) — it starts with Level 1 and goes up to Level 6. If you manage to survive Level 6, you’ll be invited to its Full Moon Party Chilli Challenge. What’s that like? We don’t know — try it and tell us! (If we were you, we’d probably want to order them via GrabFood to try at home first because of the ready access to the loo.)

19. Muthu’s Curry

138 Race Course Road, 01-01
Open: Monday to Sunday (10.30am to 10.30pm)

If you love your Indian curries, then you would’ve heard of Muthu’s Curry, a stalwart in the local food scene, having been around since 1969 (under the name Muthu Makkan). While it initially specialised in a south Indian variation of fish head curry, it has since expanded its menu to cover seafood and other meats and dishes as the years went by.

Crowd favourites: It would be remiss to go to Muthu’s Curry and not order its signature fish head (S$41.42) — it comes with a sizable hunk of fish head that is good for four diners. The curry is aromatic without being too oily or overpowering. Get the white rice, vegetable and papadam (S$5.45) to have the curry with.

If that isn’t enough and you’re looking for more, the Muthu’s chicken chukka varuval (S$20.71), which comprises chicken stir-fried with onions and a unique spicy paste, is a great protein top-up. 

Order Muthu’s Curry on GrabFood.

20. Nana Curry

Bukit Merah View Market & Hawker Centre, 01-47, 115 Bukit Merah View
Open: Monday to Saturday (11.30am to 6.30pm)

Yet another curry specialist, Nana Curry was founded in 1989 by Yap Hock Kee, who was inspired to sell his mother’s (Grandma Khim) curries while digging into it over a family meal.

Grandma Khim prides herself in using only the freshest and best ingredients for her curry, resulting in a robust curry unlike any other. Despite being well into her golden years, she still gets involved in the kitchen every once in a while, ensuring the quality of the curries Nana Curry dishes out.

Crowd favourites: Its menu has a smattering of curry options for everyone — from curry fish head (from S$32 for half a fish head portion) to curry chicken (S$7) and even curry pork ribs (S$15).

If you’re dining with a bigger party, we’d order its signature curry fish head and opt for a curry vegetable (S$5) on the side — we can just imagine the whole dish with its sides will be quite the hit at potluck parties (and if you order via GrabFood, you don’t even need to lug anything there)! Don’t forget the quartered toasted baguette (S$1) to wipe up the curry with, too!

Order Nana Curry on GrabFood.

21. Shi Hui Yuan 

Mei Ling Market & Food Centre, 02-33, 159 Mei Chin Road
Open: Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday (9am to 2pm)

Calling itself the original Singapore hor fun, Shi Hui Yuan has been around since 1969, serving up a time-honoured braised recipe with more than 30 herbs. More than just nourishment, its braise is said to also bring forth health and wellness benefits with herbs, such as American ginseng rootlet, red dates and cinnamon bark.

Those who also love QQ skin will also be glad to know that its braise is said to contain more than 1500mg of collagen — all of this to say, it’s good for both the stomach and skin, so sign us right up!

Crowd favourites: You can opt for its original braised chicken and duck hor fun (S$6.20) to keep things simple, but its Blissful set (S$8) will fill you right up with additional pork rib and vegetables. Loaded with herbs, its braise inevitably has a strong herbal taste, but it manages to taste good, without bordering on being too bitter. Its hor fun is also soft and slippery, but holds onto the thick, herbal sauce well.

Order Shi Hui Yuan on GrabFood.

22. Sik Bao Sin

592 Geylang Road
Open: Tuesday to Sunday (11.45am to 2.30pm, 5.45pm to 9.30pm)

Sik Bao Sin may be a zi char restaurant, which means it dishes up wok-fried dishes that are shared around the table, but its approach is anything but. Its dishes are all freshly made to order by the second-generation owner-chef Desmond Chia himself so Sik Bao Sin’s menu is kept concise — thirteen dishes to be exact.

Owing to its lean operational approach, you’re also required to order at the counter first (instead of slowly perusing the menu and ordering at your own time) before you sit, and waiting is to be expected. If we were you, we’d just order GrabFood delivery to save the hassle and wait in the comforts of our own abode.

Crowd favourites: With the menu being so concise, it’s safe to say every item deserves its spot. But if we really had to choose, its steamed fish head (S$42), sweet and sour pork (S$43), kailan beef (S$43) and black chicken soup (S$45) are solid go-tos that keep its regulars coming back, even with the wait times. 

Order Sik Bao Sin on GrabFood.

23. Song Fa Bak Kut Teh — New Bridge Road

11 New Bridge Road, 01-01
Open: Monday to Sunday (10am to 9.15pm)

Arguably the most popular of all of the Bib Gourmand listees, this bak kut teh shop needs next to no introduction. Song Fa Bak Kut Teh started as a humble roadside store back in the 1960s, but has since gone on to expand to all corners of Singapore, and even Indonesia (Jakarta, Surabaya and Medan), Shanghai, Bangkok, and Taipei.

Its specialty is Teochew-style bak kut teh, comprising high-quality pork that’s been simmered with ingredients such as garlic and white pepper for hours on end. While the titular dish typically refers to a pork rib variation, Song Fa serves up several renditions — spare ribs, loin ribs, kidney, liver, tenderloin, and even pig’s stomach.

Crowd favourites: Without a doubt, its pork rib soup (S$11.07) is everyone’s favourite, but we personally love the prime spare ribs soup (S$16.08) when we’re in the mood to indulge.

If you wanna simplify the decision making, GrabFood has bundles for two (S$33.79) or four (S$78.99) diners which come with its signature soup, braised pig’s trotters, dough fritters, braised egg, salted vegetables, and rice — a pretty good deal considering you save on the queue time, too!

Order Song Fa Bak Kut Teh on GrabFood.

24. Tai Wah Pork Noodle — Hong Lim Market & Food Centre

Hong Lim Market & Food Centre, 02-16, 531A Upper Cross Street
Open: Tuesday, Thursday to Sunday (7.30am to 3pm)

Tai Wah Pork Noodle needs next to no introduction either — this bak chor mee (BCM for short) specialist has been dishing out bowls of minced pork noodles since 1939. The brand has its roots at Taiwah Coffee Shop at Hill Street, where the late Tang Joon Teo wanted to eke out a living for himself, while serving up a taste of home to his fellow Chinese.

In the decades that have passed since, the brand has expanded its footprint across Singapore while attaining Bib Gourmand status in the process. It is frequently confused with the Michelin-starred Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle, but besides a difference in Michelin statuses, Tai Wah Pork Noodle is helmed by the younger son Tang Chai Chye, while older son Tang Chay Seng mans the Hill Street brand — both have their own legion of fans, so you’ll just have to try both BCMs to see which you’ll prefer.

Crowd favourites: The more the merrier is the name of the game when it comes to bak chor mee bowls, so the signature tai wah pork noodle — dry (S$11.50) which comes with dumplings, lean meat slices, liver, and meatballs are one of its clear bestsellers.

For some added oomph, you can also get the fried sole fish (S$5.20) to have your noodles with — it adds a very salty, but satisfying touch and crunch to the soft, bouncy noodles.

25. The Coconut Club — Beach Road

269 Beach Road 
Open: Tuesday to Friday (11am to 3pm, 5pm to 10.30pm), Saturday and Sunday (11am to 10.30pm)

Any self-respecting nasi lemak lover would probably have been here — The Coconut Club may have developed a reputation for selling atas (or “fancy”) nasi lemak but hey, it’s good nasi lemak. The brand has come a long way since opening its first shop at Ann Siang Hill in 2016 with a number of outlets dotting the island now.

The reason for its allure and price point? It uses quality poultry fresh from a local farm, a proprietary blend of coconut milk for its lemak rice, and barramundi from Singapore’s only deep-sea ocean farm. Whether it’s worth the dollar, you’ll just have to try to find out — we think getting it delivered for parties or gatherings make for an interesting conversation piece.

Crowd favourites: The signature chicken nasi lemak (S$22.80), which comes with organic chicken that’s marinated for 12 hours, a sunny-side up egg, cucumber, ikan bilis, and peanuts, as well as its fragrant sambal, of course. The dish is a classic and though the brand may have introduced new dishes along the way, regulars swear by it still.

If you’re looking for a well-rounded meal, grab its traditional kuehs, which were crafted together with a local kueh expert. True to The Coconut Club’s name, each kueh comes with a good dose of coconut. We’re fans of its kueh kosui (six pieces for S$12.80) but if you can’t decide, the kueh sampler (S$17.80) is great to start with, too. 

Order The Coconut Club on GrabFood.

26. Tiong Bahru Hainanese Chicken Rice

Tiong Bahru Market, 02-82, 30 Seng Poh Road 
Open: Wednesday to Sunday (10am to 4pm)

One of the two chicken rice spots on the Michelin Bib Gourmand Singapore 2024 list, Tiong Bahru Hainanese Chicken Rice has been dishing up plates of delicious Hainanese boneless chicken rice since 1988. Started by chef-owner Cheong Weng Wah, who learnt the ropes of making chicken rice from a friend, Tiong Bahru Hainanese Chicken Rice has since expanded far beyond its original location at Tiong Bahru to several other key spots around Singapore.

Crowd favourites: Regulars love Tiong Bahru Hainanese Chicken Rice for its gelatinous skin and boneless chicken, and the best way to try this is to order its steamed chicken (from S$11.50 for a quarter chicken) or the duo chicken set (S$12.50).

You can order it with its signature chicken rice (S$1.30) but having it with the hor fun (S$3) is also an interesting combination.

27. Un Yang Kor Dai

Un Yang Kor Dai is the few Thai spots to be recognised on the Michelin Bib Gourmand Singapore 2024 list and for good reason — besides being recognised by Michelin, it has also received the prestigious Thai Select signature distinction which recognises some of the best Thai restaurants around the world, outside of Thailand.

Stepping into this spot in the bustling Boat Quay district feels like you’ve stepped into a restaurant right in Thailand itself — the hospitality is unmatched and the food, authentic and homely.

Crowd favourites: We love that it serves up khao soi, which isn’t often found in Singapore, but its UYKD crispy pork belly with special dipping sauce (S$18.53) and Isaan-style signature grilled chicken (from S$18.53 for half a chicken) is what gets it its rave reviews.
