Shi Nian Pig Leg Rice, which has multiple outlets including Old Airport Road and Marine Parade, has also set up shop at Senja.

3. Pin Wei Hong Kong Style Chee Cheong Fun
Westies can get their chee cheong fun cravings sorted at Pin Wei Hong Kong Style Chee Cheong Fun’s Senja outlet.

Complement this with the stall’s sambal belacan, made with shrimp paste, garlic, onions, and chilli padi. Pin Wei also offers other flavours such as Plain ($3), Char Siew ($4), and even a premium Scallop ($6) option! Easties, you can check out their Bedok branch instead.Â
