Unbeknownst to me, this heartland is popping with eateries selling the likes of excellent kway chap, $1.50 dim sum and unique cafes. Thanks to him, I have finally discovered these places. Plus, he has a big appetite, which means I get to order a variety of food. Here’s a list of Ang Mo Kio food spots to check out when you’re in Ang Mo Kio.

If Din Tai Fung is your bae for xiao long bao and la mian, then Shanghai Renjia can be your new side chick. The menu reflects this family-run restaurant’s awe for Shanghai cuisine, offering dishes such as Pan-Fried Buns ($8 for four) and Handmade Noodles ($7) that are freshly made in-house. Their Pan-Fried Buns are basically fried xiao long bao, which are crispy, golden-brown buns encasing a juicy pork filling.

Meat-lovers will surely enjoy Phuket Town Mookata, where you can choose from the Mini Meat Mountain ($28.90) for two people or the Mega Meat Mountain ($45.50) which feeds up to five.
The meats are well-marinated, and especially delicious when slightly charred. What’s more, the stall has an array of house-made sauces to pair with the meats, of which our favourite was the Original, as it added sweetness to the proteins.
This mountain of meat also comes with processed food items at the base, such as cheese tofu and crab sticks, that are great to cook in the broth around the skillet.

If you’re craving for steak that doesn’t break the bank, check out SteakGrill, a Western bistro hidden within the AMK HDB estate. We recommend heading down for lunch, as all burgers, steaks, and pasta come with free-flow iced lemon tea!
Their NY Striploin ($23) uses the striploin cut, a lesser-known cut that’s no less juicy than its ribeye counterpart. It’s also served alongside fries and a salad, so you get your carbs and greens in as well. We actually enjoyed their Bacon Carbonara ($15) most, as it’s creamy without being jelak, topped with two slabs of tender bacon.

Armed with over 60 years of history is Rahim Muslim Food, best known for their Power Mee Rebus that has drawn long queues to their humble stall. This dish has even gotten the approval of ex-prime minister Goh Chok Tong! Zhng-up the usual mee rebus with their Extra Special Mee Rebus ($6.50), which comes topped with a satay sauce-drenched chicken thigh, chicken drumstick, hard boiled egg, beansprouts and potato fritters. The gravy was immensely rich, with nutty, sweet, and savoury flavours.

Abang Gemuk is a halal Western food stall, started up by the same people behind Fatty Bom Bom. Their name translates to ‘fat bro’ in Malay, a cheeky title that suits the stall’s chubby chef logo.
If you want something for the gram, consider the Cheesy Beef Burger ($8.90). This burger is drenched with nacho cheese, making for IG-worthy visuals. Taste-wise, the cheese can get overwhelming, so we recommend sharing the dish with a friend or two.

From the outside, Banh Mi Sai Gon looks like an unassuming Vietnamese provision shop in an Ang Mo Kio HDB estate. But step inside and you’ll discover a banh mi takeaway kiosk that local and Vietnamese patrons are all raving about.
The quality of their sandwiches is, in the opinion of our writer who reviewed it, possibly only rivalled by those in Vietnam. Try the Banh Mi Thit Nuong ($8.90) or Banh Mi Pha Lau Heo ($8.90) and see for yourself.

Jian Zao Ipoh Curry Noodles manages to nail that style with dishes such as Signature Ipoh Curry Noodles ($6.50), with its slightly sweet and umami gravy that is oh-so-satisfying.

Eng Kee Bak Kut Teh holds some really fond memories for me. I used to come here most often with my father after school for lunch. If you asked me if I have a go-to for good bak kut teh in Singapore, this place would be it. Surprisingly, Eng Kee Bak Kut Teh is perhaps more loved for their delicious Pig’s Trotters ($7.50) than their Bak Kut Teh ($7.50) itself. Nevertheless, I highly recommend you bring your friends or family here, so you guys can savour a little of everything. You’ll likely have to queue, but the staff are so efficient, you’ll have your food delivered to your table in no time.

Tucked away in Kebun Baru Market is Teck Kee Cooked Food, a noodle stall that sells sheng mian, which some regulars have come to refer to as “Singapore ramen”. They’ve been in operation for four decades now, and to date, the stall still sports queues for up to 20 minutes.
You have to try the Sheng Mian ($4.50/5.50), where QQ noodles are served in a savoury, rich broth akin to tonkatsu ramen. Each serving also comes with minced pork, fishballs, and chunks of pork lard.

If you love both beef noodles and laksa, prepare to get blown away by the Mixed Beef Laksa (price TBD) down at Hong Heng Beef Noodles and Laksa. Tender slices of beef soak up the creamy, coconut broth, resulting in a euphoric burst of flavour in your mouth. We loved the chilli dip too, which gave the dish an extra spicy kick. Opt for the Dry Beef Noodles (price TBD) instead, if you prefer your soup base thicker and less spicy. We recommend squeezing in some lime as well, to add a sourish punch to your meal.

Wanton mee lovers will definitely know of Soi 19 Thai Wanton Mee, which brings the Bangkok staple to Singapore. Expect a crowd here, even early in the day, but their dish is well worth the wait. Al dente mee kia is sprinkled with a dash of lard oil, chilli flakes, and green chilli, then garnished with char siew and golden wonton packed with minced pork. You also get a side of broth, which comes with soup wontons equally generous with its filling.

While most dessert cafes feature a minimalistic look, Wonders leans a little different with their mahjong-themed concept. The cafe’s interior well reflects this theme too. The cafe serves Pandan Mochi Waffles ($6.10) that you can pair with unique ice cream flavours named after mahjong lingo such as 红中 (hóng zhōng) for Strawberry Cheesecake, and 花上 (huā shàng) for Chrysanthemum, Honey and Cacao Nibs. These are priced at $4.50 for a single scoop.
For extra mahjong luck, order their hot drinks—the best-selling White (price TBD) is dusted with cocoa powder in the shape of various Chinese characters meant to represent Mahjong tiles.

Ang Mo Kio is full of hidden hawker centre gems, including the humble Lao San Kway Chap stall. The kway chap here will set you back $5 for one person and the $34 portion is just enough to feed a family of four.
The innards here are well-cleaned with no foul taste or smell, and the pieces are seasoned to perfection, with a strong taste of aromatic herbs and spices. They taste best when paired together with the silky kway. We would also recommend the Pork Belly Rice with Egg ($5.80) which was just as delicious during our visit.
