Toa Payoh Lorong 8 Market & Food Centre

Fried Hokkien Mee . Serangoon Garden Fried Hokkien Noodle 01-52 serves the real deal. Wet & aromatic. Whole prawns . Slices of squid & boiled pork . Punchy chilli sauce . Crunchy fried pork lard cubes

Bak Chor Mee . 大巴窑5巷肉脞面 #01-39. What struck me instantly was the fragrant mushroom stew . Full of goodness. The noodles were also tasty. Their smallest serving $3.50 comes with a slice of abalone

Chai tow kway (fried carrot cake ). Lee Ta #01-67 & Good Luck BBQ #01-13. Both stalls serve tasty CTK. LT is old skool with notable chai por (chopped fermented radish ). GL is yummy fr 1st mouth

Kway chap . Enjoyed an aromatic bowl bowl fr Guan Kee #01-24. This is a 1-person serving ($3.50) —all items in a single bowl. If u want ala carte items served on a plate, prices start from $5.50

Rice/porridge with local dishes. Tian Tian Fatt #01-14 is more a Teochew porridge stall . Challenging to order for one person. This plate of 3 dishes $5.50. Stall only provides chopsticks & soup spoon

Guan Kee Kway Chap is my best kway chap that i ever try. They kway chap is smooth & cue cue plus hot.

Prata . Toa Payoh Prata Corner #01-62 prepares decent pratas . Crispy & flaky on the outside, chewy inside. Order the plain "kosong" ones (with mutton curry ) to fully enjoy its flavour & fragrance

Mee hoon kway . Enjoyed a unique bowl of dried noodles from Seletar Sheng Mian Mee Hoon Kway #01-05. Always long but fast-clearing queues

Local desserts . B For Beancurd #01-61 offers more than cold beancurd . There’s ice kacang, bubur cha cha, green bean soup , cendol & other hot & cold creations

Vegetarian options : lontong, chai tow kway , popiah , rojak , specialty vegetarian , local desserts , beancurd , fruits , local pancake , yutiao, chee cheong fun , soon kueh, prata , putu mayam, tahu goreng

Breakfast bee hoon . Fried chicken wing from Yong Xing Fried Bee Hoon Nasi Lemak #01-17 was deliciously marinated. Chilli sauce was good too!

Shun Li Prawn Noodles (#01-36), Serangoon Garden Fried Prawn Noodles (#01-19), Shen Pin Xiang BBQ(#01-70), Hai Kee Seafood (#01-18), Zheng Xing Fried Kway Teow Mee(#01-35) highly recommended!

Sin Sin Prawn Crackers #01-46 very good. The beehoon is delicately done and piping hot with all the 5 Xiang freshly fried. I love it and sometimes have a queue.

Wantan mee . Hougang Meng Kee #01-49 gets queues in the morning. It's 1 of the better breakfast spots . Noodles were 'q', wantans tasty. But methinks their sister branch near Kim Keat Food Ctr is better

Hainanese curry rice . Scissors Cut Curry Rice 01-28 is popular during lunch . Curry is decent but one dimensional. Pork chop tastes home-style. Cabbage could be stewed softer

Lor mee fr #01-54 is decent although I wish they could be more generous with their ingredients. U can swap fried fish with popcorn chicken , or hv both!

Chendol. Ice cold dessert from Four Seasons #01-07 was enjoyable on a hot day. However, towards the end, got ‘jelak’ of the brown sugar ; it was too thick & sweet

During staying in Singapore, I used going there to have supper alone. Every shop has delicious food, especially popiah , carrot cake .

Craving prawn noodles for breakfast ? Neighbours head to Heng Kee #01-40, since the more popular (& nearby) Shun Li is not open yet. Average though. Smaller $3 serving is mainly sliced pork & fishcakes

A lot of food options that's typical of hawker centers and repetitive stalls selling similar fare, yet many are good. The fried white beehoon with clams and cendol r just some of the highlights.

Wanton mee . Hai Kee #01-59 has probably the biggest serving of vege I've ever come across (although) it's a weird mix of green cabbage & 'chai sim' (Chinese cabbage )

Xiao Long Pau is superb and excellent value for money . $3 for 5 pieces.

Nasi lemak ($4). Hjh Bibi #01-71 serves it with spicy sambal chicken . Rice was slightly wet & not aromatic, sambal not overly sweet. While food was below expectation, the kitchen was very friendly

Tried the kway chap at #01-24. No internal organs for me but still delicious

Pancakes . Mei Wei Pan Cake #01-21 makes them slightly thinner, so that it's crispier. The pancakes are also individually prepared

One of the best Prawn Noodle ! Recommended

Lifestyle Tip: This is the only market/hawker centre area that offers you a true blue 1970s alfresco/outdoors dining experience (before PAP takes over, of course). Eat 'out' please! Best on wkends.

Was this place fill with fantastic stalls . Go look for the queues and the longer the better!

A hearty century egg minced meat porridge for breakfast to have a great start of the day!

Char kway teow . Nothing outstanding abt dish fr Zheng Xing #01-35, despite them displaying an LED queue system. Preparation is the dry salty style, & lacks "wok hei" despite preparing so many plates

Decent pan fried dumplings here ! Prepared on the spot by 2 Chinese ladies ????????????

Serangoon Garden Fried Prawn Noodle is delicious! Nicely cooked, and ingredients are very fresh!

Hawker centre with a variety of good & cheap food eg prawn noodles , teochew porridge , yong tau hu :)

Groceries . There's a popular Sheng Siong Supermarket across the road @ Block 4 Lorong 7 Toa Payoh #01-107

Take your pick of bfast stalls here. There was a crazy queue for the kway chap too.

Try the Lor Mee next to the economic bee hoon stall . Sells porridge in the day and Lor Mee at night.

Durian Tip: Fat Balding Uncle's make-shift stall gives better quality than anywhere else in Singapore. Be nice to him and u'll get discounts . Forget the corner shopfront... unless u like cheap durians

HUGE half-boiled eggs from 217

Oh, there is selegie branch here. YAY! Lovr the almond beancurd , normal beancurd w soya milk and bundong soya milk .

Still one of the cheapest hawker centre for a simple meal . The iced coffee is average $1.20 here ????

Equally busy hawker centre at night

???????????? Rice wif cauliflower n tomato sauce pork chop ????????

Good Stalls Tip: 福记Braised Duck Rice 7.5/10, Bedok Bak Kut Prawn Mee 9/10, Behind New World Fried Hokkien Mee (opens 8pm daily) 8.5/10, Bedok Bak Chor Mee 8/10

The food at the hawker centre part was nice, the stall vendors at the wet market are friendly and kind

Bak chor mee !!! Beancurd at the corner is good too!

Very stuck up roti prata stall . Not friendly at all. Didn't sell one piece plan prata as I only can eat one. Ended up bought 2 piece mixture but beh song to give me 2 plate. WTH!!!

Just go for the Serangoon Gardens Hokkien Nee @ #01-19. You'll love it!

???????????? ???? Hokkien Mee wif egg , chicken nugget & Tea'0'. Ohm????????

Healthier Choice Tip: Remember ur 2+2? 2 portions of veges + 2 portions of fruits . Take ur cheapest and freshest Cut Fruits and/or Fruit Juice from only stall inside the market .

San Yuan Gourmet 's Dry Mee Sua ! Nice!
