When we look at our country Singapore, we are known for our jaw-dropping infrastructures & drooling varieties of food selection, with thousands of western fusions to our restaurant meals. Yet the authenticity remains in the corner of our estates, the local hawkers frying up a hearty plate of kuey teow or even the fragrance of chicken biryani that makes one choose delicious goodness over the probability of leaving the hawker centre with curry stains on their shirts.
I could go on and on about how our local hawkers put their hearts and souls with each chopped piece of meat perfecting their soup and porridge, what takes hours for them to prepare, arrives at our table within minutes of placing order. Located strategically between Bedok Town Centre & the Bedok Interchange, Bedok Interchange Hawker Centre offers a variety of must-try even when you are in a rush, a pit stops you must make. Here are some bites you have to try next time dropping by Bedok station.
1. Bedok Chwee Kueh 水粿 (01–19)
For those who want a taste down memory lane, back to childhood and night markets, Bedok Chwee Kueh is the answer for you. Chwee kueh is a steamed rice “water” cake famous among Chinese Singaporeans, typically consumed for breakfast or as a light snack. A dish consisting of rice cake served with preserved radish seems simple but requires excellent skills to ensure the radish isn’t too sweet or salty. The store at Bedok provides the fluffiness of the rice cake, coupled with the aroma of the radish, makes tingles the nose of the passer-by, luring them into trying out the best for themselves. So why are you waiting for? You can order it from here.
2. Hock Hai Curry Chicken Noodle (01–58)
Craving something heavier than Chwee Kueh but still want the memorable experience, head on to Hock Hai Curry Chicken Noodle. Leaving customers happy and in a profound food coma, the curry broth at Hock Hai makes you transport to a whole new world. The great juicy chicken pieces, thick and soft noodles pair real together, elevating a simple dish with a mouthful of flavours. Their satay bee hoon is another must-try! The taste of the popular supper meal ‘satay’, the satay flavour is incorporated into the noodle, putting a whole new twist on what we would expect with a noodle dish. Topped with fresh prawns and fish cakes, it’s a local delicacy you must not miss out on. As a matter of fact, you cannot miss out as we deliver it to your doorstep! Click here.
3. Jefri The Original Botak Chicken Rice (01–65)
Chicken rice with a generous portion of rice and meat that is worth its money? We are talking about Jefri The Original Botak Chicken Rice, serving more than chicken rice, but never making the queuing fast, hence making each bite worth it. Succulent chicken breast meat and wing, Jefri knows how to serve a mad plate of chicken rice, and did we tell you, it’s HALAL! The colour of the rice in this Nasi Goreng Ayam is particularly striking and has a sweet and spicy flavour that is rare to achieve. The best part is Jefri’s dishes are all affordable, with the Nasi Goreng Ayam pricing at $4.70. We will get it delivered to you here.
