I personally dread travelling to the East as it is at the opposite end from where I stay, but throw Bedok 85 into the agenda and I’m sold. You don’t have to be an Eastie to know of the glorious food served at this hawker centre; Google for the best of any local fare and Fengshan Food Centre is bound to pop up. Offering more than just their famous bak chor mee, this hawker centre will surprise you with the number of noteworthy stalls that have yet to be given their due credit. Here are 20 Bedok 85 hawker stalls to try while you’re in the area!

Xing Ji Rou Cuo Mian is one of the two famous bak chor mee stalls that everyone associates this hawker centre with. The bak chor mee ($3.50/$4.50) here is not your usual chilli paste and a vinegar-based bowl of noodles. They come in a pork broth that has been simmered for three hours in the morning, with a generous amount of meatballs topping the springy noodles. The soup is light but sufficiently flavourful—a satisfying option great for a rainy day.

The other popular bak chor mee stall at Bedok 85 is Seng Hiang Bak Chor Mee. The bak chor mee ($3.50/$4.50) is heavier on the palate and boasts a stronger garlic flavour. The soup is boiled for over an hour and comprises pork bones, marinated minced meat, and deep-fried pork lard. Seng Hiang also offers a dry version at $4.50, and you can expect a well-rounded base of house-made chilli paste made with sambal and pork lard.

There are two BBQ stingray stalls here, each with their own loyal following, and Chan BBQ is one of them. Catering more to chilli lovers, the sambal here is spicier than usual but not tongue-numbingly so. The shrimp flavour still takes centre stage in this sambal and together with the fresh pieces of BBQ Stingray ($12/$15/$20), the dish offers a good mix of sweetness, savouriness, and spiciness in every mouthful.

Opening hours: Daily 5pm to 1am

Chomp Chomp BBQ is the other BBQ stingray stall serving up this supper staple, priced from $12. While their stingray is equally thick and fresh, the sambal here is less spicy and features a smokier undertone. The stingray’s exterior is nicely charred without compromising the juicier insides, giving you a slice of tender meat. Do try it with the cincalok sauce—you won’t want to be missing out on the tangy punch that instantly elevates this dish.

We have Bedok 85 Fried Oyster Omelette to thank for piping hot orh luah served until the wee hours. The oysters here are big and juicy, nestled in a gooey yet crispy egg mixture. The oyster omelette (from $5) is so popular that they now occupy two stalls adjacent to each other, making it even harder to miss this famous stall. Be sure to give your omelette a generous dip in the chilli sauce; the tangy paste will give your savoury meal a tantalising kick!

Operating for nearly 50 years now, Swatow Wanton Noodle serves up satisfying plates of Wanton Noodles ($4/$5/$6) that have stood the test of time.

No supper is complete without BBQ chicken wings, and the ones from Sin Bedok North BBQ Chicken Wings ($1.40 each) are enough to convert anyone who thinks otherwise.

Another inconspicuous gem is Shi Wei Da Satay Bee Hoon, a stall with a signboard comprehensible only to Mandarin-speaking folks.

With several stalls across Singapore, 75 Ah Balling Peanut Soup probably needs no introduction. Their Glutinous Rice Balls in Peanut Soup ($2.20 for three rice balls) are stuffed with various pastes such as peanut, black sesame, and even green tea! Variety does not stop at the fillings; the soup options are equally plentiful, ranging from classic peanut soup to almond milk. The skin of the rice balls is soft and not overly starchy, so expect a quick burst of filling that will melt into the crevices of your mouth.

Ming Ji Shu Shi’s signature dish is their fried carrot cake, which the stall sells in both white and black versions. Here, a plate of fluffy traditional fried carrot cake only costs $3.
