1. Teck Hin Delicacies
Teck Hin Delicacies, a popular breakfast spot, stays true to tradition with its Chee Cheong Fun.

Pair it with their chilli mixed with hae bi for an extra umami kick. Visiting before 10 am is advisable due to potential long queues or items selling out. The stall, run by a dedicated couple, exclusively offers Chee Cheong Fun with options of two, three, or four rolls. The owner’s attention to detail ensures each piece is perfectly coated, resulting in a fantastic taste, making it a must-try for Chee Cheong Fun enthusiasts.

4. The Headless Baker 無 頭 師
For quality, affordable bakes that taste as delightful as they look, visit The Headless Baker. Among the crowd favourites are the financiers, banana loaves, cinnamon rolls, and lemon pistachio loaves. Operating only from 8 am to 2 pm, Wednesdays to Sundays at their Ghim Moh location, you can also explore their second spot at The Star Vista on other days.
We recommend that you try the tea cakes, notably the lavender variant, that maintain their great taste even the next day. While the lavender tea cake is praised, a slight adjustment to the icing’s sweetness could enhance perfection. It’s a joy to see hawker stalls crafting desserts that surpass many cafes in quality with a good price!

6. Hin Fried Hor Fun
Attracting large crowds daily, Hin Fried Hor Fun distinguishes itself with its unparalleled mastery of infusing wok hei (smoky flavours and aromas of stir-fry ) into its dishes.
To accommodate customers who avoid beef, they offer two types of gravy, both exhibiting sublime consistency that draws people to the stall. The Beef Hor Fun boasts an incredible texture — silky and smooth with the perfect chewiness. The wok hei imparts a smoky flavour to both the hor fun and the flavourful gravy, creating an irresistible craving for the next bite.
The consistency of the gravy prevents it from feeling overwhelming, and the tender beef adds a delightful touch of flavour and textural contrast to the hor fun. A truly scrumptious dish that is a must-try!
