10 best hawker stalls at Telok Blangah Crescent Market and Food Centre to try

With more than 50 years of experience frying char kway teow, sole cook Mr Loh serves a mean plate of the dish. It’s easy to locate his stall as you’ll spot a queue even before he starts his business for the day. He fries each portion individually for quality and consistency on every plate before serving.

Although he omits fish cake and lup cheong (cured Chinese pork sausage),  the dish stands out with smokey wok hei, plump cockles and fragrant umami pork lard.

Vegetarian food may seem simple to prepare but it takes skill to make vegetarian dishes delicious. Customers who queue up at Su Yuan Vegetarian can’t be wrong too. You select your desired sides to go with thin but firm bee hoon or choose a standard set with pre-selected sides.

For a medley of textures, go with crispy tofu skin, juicy mushrooms, and crunchy cabbage before topping it off with savoury mushroom gravy.

The fish ball noodles we typically have usually include sliced fish cakes and fish dumplings. But for Song Heng Fishball Noodle, the focus is on the al-dente noodles of your choice and their bouncy handmade fishballs glistening in a broth.

Go for the thin yellow noodles (mee kia) or flat yellow noodles (mee pok) if you’re having the dry version. Both are tossed in a mixture of addictive chilli, tangy vinegar, and pork lard oil that’ll have you slurping non-stop. Also yes, this is another store which has a seemingly endless queue throughout its operating hours too.

Despite Singapore’s perpetual heat, customers can be seen flocking to Xiang Ji Porridge for a comforting bowl of porridge during the day.

Founded by Masterchef Singapore finalist and alumni Aaron Wong, Jiak Song Mee Hoon Kway serves handmade and hand-pulled doughy noodles. We recommend the soup version, which thickens up thanks to the runny egg yolk as the noodles soak up the unique smokey broth essence. The basic option includes the usual minced pork while the upgraded signature set will see a top up of pork and prawn balls.

Known as min jiang kueh, this nostalgic confection has always been a sweet treat for locals. Uncle Lim Traditional Pancakes doesn’t mess with tradition and presents the essential essence of a good pancake.

The most popular and best-selling peanut flavour sells the pancake stuffed generously with crunchy filling. Prefer a softer bite? Munch on the velvety red bean filling or the aromatic milky coconut options.

Can’t decide between black or white carrot cake? You can have both at Guan Seng Carrot Cake. Both versions are fried with a generous amount of egg which cover the rice cake (kueh) pieces. While the white option tastes deliciously eggy, the black counterpart sports a deep flavour thanks to the caramelised sweet dark soy sauce that’s intensified with lots of wok hei.

Sometimes simplicity is best. This can be used to describe the dishes at Noordima Malay Food Stall. Home-cooked Malay food is the star here, where familiar spices shine here without the unnecessary frills. The fragrant coconut-infused rice of the nasi lemak provides a perfect pairing to the sweet-spicy samba and fiery chilli omelette.

The family behind Ah Boon Handmade Fish Cake has been making their well-received handmade fishcakes and fish balls for two generations. Here, the fish meat has a bouncy texture, which is not diluted with water when making the paste. Besides their signature items, they also offer other delicious fried finger foods like ngoh hiang, yong tau foo,  and tau kee rolls (dried beancurd rolls).
