I’ve not stepped foot into Bedok Interchange Hawker Centre since its massive revamp two years ago. In fact, I still vaguely remember where all the old stalls were located and this new layout was a complete maze to me. Thankfully, many of my favourite stalls are still standing strong, including the famous Inspirasi mee soto. If you’re around the area, be sure to check out these 10 stalls, both new and old, at Bedok Interchange Hawker Centre!

Helmed by cooks from China, Zhong Hua Noodle House dishes out legit Chinese noodles that pack a punch. They have a wide range of noodles from scrummy tomato and egg noodles ($4) to more complex flavours like what the Sour and Spicy Fen ($4) boasting minced meat, peanuts and black fungus offers. The noodles are all handmade, delivering a springy mouthfeel with every bite.

Loyal patrons of Ma La Xiang Guo insist the spicy Sichuan stir-fry here is as numbingly spicy as the famed Ri Ri Hong in Chinatown. Pricing is similar too, where they charge by the type of ingredients instead of weight. Vegetables go at $1 per portion, chicken and pork at $2, and mutton, beef and seafood at $3. They also serve up Chongqing-style grilled fish ($25) that’s topped with tons of Sichuan chilli and served in a hot pot.

My dad used to always take away Ming Hui Nasi Lemak for my Sunday lunch. Reason being it’s really cheap! A basic nasi lemak set with an egg, fried chicken wing and ikan bilis will only cost you $2.20. For an additional $1.50, enjoy a huge fried fish that can be easily shared with two people.

Plastered on Bedok Western Food’s billboard menu is an array of photos of the owner’s adorable shih tzu – but I digress. The serving size here is huge, and a must-order is their crisp Chicken Cutlet ($6.50) that comes with crinkle-cut fries, baked beans and fluffy margarine bread that’s similar to the ones served at the famed Old Kallang Airport Food Centre’s Western Barbeque.

The famous Hock Hai (Hong Lim) Curry Chicken Noodle only serves two dishes: curry chicken bee hoon mee ($4) and satay bee hoon ($4), although the former is what everyone flocks here for. From afar, you can smell the aroma of the tantalising curry broth. Ingredients such as tau pok and fishcakes are dished out from a huge pot of curry and doused over yellow noodles and bee hoon.

Another noodle stall that boasts a long queue, Mei Xiang Lor Mee pushes out lor mee ($3) and prawn noodles ($3).

Be sure to load up on their garlic and chilli to further elevate the flavour of the starchy broth.
