Typical hawker centre experience and prices. There are a few SuperStars in the morning and night. The Malay stall in the morning has a nostalgic taste for their lontong and mee rebus. Came in the evening for the much talked about LorMee. …

One stop location for delicious local food. Love the Lor Mee, Wanton Noodle, Ba Chor Noodles, Carrot cake, fried snacks and many more yummy varieties. Very affordable local hawker food!

If you ever come here during dinner, be prepared to wait for at least an hour. So make sure to come earlier. However , the wait is definitely worth it! Their steamboat is cooked using charcoal. The umani from the soup is so wonderful. If you like your soup with ti por you should come and try it.
