Rojak : Kovan Rojak #01-39 serves one of the better offerings in the country . You have the option of adding more ingredients to this local fruit salad : toasted cuttlefish , century eggs & even abalone !
There are 2 popular wanton noodle stalls in this hawker centre but I prefer 51 Ming Fa. Their noodle stands out; very springy, every bite is so yummy! Made my 40 minutes queue time well worth it.
Wantan Mee . 51 Mingfa #01-64 packs above average WTM. Noodles r 'q' (springy), wantans hv strong hints of pepper & char siew (BBQ pork ) slices succulent. Super-long waiting time on weekends!
Roast meats . Unassuming stall Bedok Cooked Food #01-32 is find of the year. Char siew (BBQ pork ) was juicy & well caramelised. Honest roasted taste of duck meat with crispy skin . Would be back!
This stall has probably the cheapest priced drinks you can find in Singapore! Small cup (30cents), Big cup (50cents).
Vegetarian options : specialty vegetarian , chai tow kway , chwee kueh, chee cheong fun , yam cake , popiah , rojak , local snacks & desserts , gado gado , tahu goreng , lontong, beancurd , yong tau foo , fruits
There is an unassuming stall Xing Xing 兴兴 near to the mutton soup that pan fry traditional teochew kuehs. The ku-chai kuehs are delicious!
The drinks stall 4SQ fans highlighted, that sells 30-cents bird's nest & soya drinks, is Sun Kee Drinks #01-65. Great thirst-quenching stuff on a hot day
Gado gado . Suitable vegetarian alternative from Hussain Muslim Food #01-54. Rice cake , boiled potatoes , tempeh , long beans , fried beancurd , hard-boiled egg – covered in peanut sauce . Crackers add pop
Vegetarian bee hoon . When a stall offers several green dishes, instead of just fried/processed gluten products, I zoom in. Jin Shun Zhai 01-46 does not disappoint. Enjoyed their curry vege
Rice porridge . The tasty porridge with yutiao being mentioned here is 祥瑞粥品 #01-28. Popular for breakfast , they offer >10 combos. Generous topping of fried dough fritter .
Covered carpark access from Blk 229 MSCP (HGHG1F) to Kovan hawker centre. Need to navigate to bus stop in front of Blk 230/231 (also covered all the way) and cross over
Compact market area! Many shops around it, like McD, kovan mall-KFC, PizzaCorner, Cold Storage, Popular, NTUC, hardware key maker shops, CK, backers, and a 24hrs seaFood center.
DIY popiah : Fortune Food #01-52 sells handmade (actually central kitchen) Popiah skin ($15/kg), ground peanuts , crispy bits, chilli sauce , etc to host ur own Popiah party @ home. They deliver too!
Postal box nearby. In front of the row of market stalls facing the bus interchange. These stalls r selling cloth , alteration svcs, handbags .
Try the Chee Cheong fun (rice rolls ) at stall facing wet market . Long q as lady owner slowly prepares each order. Delicious - smooth and yummy . Some say as good as those from KL.
Yi Shi Jia wanton noodles (#01-57) has been around for ages and still tasty. Prices are very reasonable but be prepared to queue.
Economy rice ('chai png'). Enjoyed home-style dishes from Teo Heng #01-37. Operated by locals, who probably understand our tastes & preferences better
Yi Shi Jia wanton mee , #01-57, noodles and cha siew very traditional. Not salty. Good.
A good example of a heartland hawker centre. Bright and airy, with decent standard of hawker fares. The corner coffee stall nearest to heartland mall is good.
The kopi here is one of the best I had in Singapore. Definitely will come back for the kopi.
For fishball noodles , just zoom in on Yam Mee Teochew Fishball Mee #01-35. Don't waste ur calorie intake on other stalls :-P
Chai tow kway . Pleasantly surprised that 85 Bedok North Fried Oyster #01-30 serves tasty CKT
Don't eat fish ball noodle at #01-05, I've got cheated by the queue. Eat at teochew fish ball noodle stall . It is the best! Yums.
Bak Chor Mee : D long q @ stall #01-05 had me fantasising how delicious their minced meat fishball noodles was. It was an illusion. Noodle was starchy, rojak ingredients were fighting ea other :-(
This is one of the few hawker centres that still sell good food for less than $3 per normal serving. Cheap & good!
Ok basically you've to try e porridge w e you tiao, pontian noodle , e veggie rice store, economical bee Hoon , fishball noodle , dessert and sugar cane !!!
Watch out for Cai fan prices before buying. Meat can cost a lot!
Laksa and Chicken Curry Mee is a must try in one of the stalls, can't remember the number but it always has a long queue. :)
$0.30 Beancurd and Soya Bean Milk !! Amazing price! Soya bean milk so so only, but beancurd is super nice! Must try!! #01-65, Sun Kee Drinks! =)
发记 Teochew minced meat fishball noodle is a must try, esp during the evening shift taken over by the son. V nice big thank you after he serves you food. Nice portion of noodles as well . :)
Soya milk . While the drink from Cold Soya Beancurd #01-14 was thick & aromatic, we did not like the artificial coffee creamer aftertaste
Yam mee teochew fishball noodle is good.
If you are nearby, must come to this newly renovates hawker centre for some authentic local culinary delights.
Ist time in this market . Seems to have many good food stalls . Minced pork n curry noodle is yummy.
New Penang assam laksa stall is quite good, but sweeter to suit Singaporean taste buds
tis yong tau hu stall beside the otah stall can try.. nt bad for $3.80.. like their prawn . n gt 1 tall girl at tis stall quite pretty.
Popiah and Muah Chee at stall #01-52
Must-tries: Teochew Meepok, Chicken Rice , Malay food, Kway Chap , Economic Beehoon . Perfect place for early morning breakfast too.
Mixed rice at #01-37 is a must try ;) lotsa variety and the food definitely tastes good!!
Chicken curry noodle : #01-05 was disappointing. Lotsa recommendations on 4SQ. After 15-min q later, realised it was just their laksa sauce with boiled chicken . Zero curry :-( I'll go Hong Lim nxt time
Love Pontian Wanton Noodles !
A1 Kway Chap . Highly recommended!
Do not patronise Feng Yuan Fresh Sugarcane Juice , #01-55 if u dun wanna to be cheated! !!$4.50 for only "mountain " of colour ice with no sign of kiwi , strawberry and mango .
2 best kopi stalls here, Yuan Ji Coffee Stall and San Xin Coffee Stall.
try the duck/char siew rice at this stall called "bedok cooked food ". popiah is not bad too. sadly, there's no good fish soup anymore.
Thick soya bean drink at ONLY 30 cents!! #01-65. Just when I thought it's impossible to get anything below 50-cents!
Good food almost all stall.. problem might be finding a seat and table to be clean .
Super yummy A1 kway chup! Love the chili , their fishcakes and the small intestines. Their duck meat is good too.
Sit around stall no. #01-57 for some really cool music !!! Nice!!!
Be prepared to queue. Mee pok dry comes with a meat ball and ground meat by default. It is all delicious! Worth the wait. - Adrienne M
Must try their Dry Teochew Fishball Mushroom Noodle and Laksa or Curry Noodle. Expect long queue though. - Bernard Chua
Handmade chee cheong fun at #01-155 is a must try! Especially now that they have new items on the menu. Pig liver, egg, century egg, otah etc - Hui Ling
Minced meat noodle, fried oyster, bbq wing, stingray, satay..all nice local food. Add a few beers! - Sedric Loh
水饺版面 $5.50 really worth the money. Warning: Please come with empty and huge stomach...very BIG bowl! - ah ren (countryboy)
