If you love traditional Chinese snacks, Eng Huat Seng Snack Bar should definitely be on your radar. The old-school stall, located at Bangkit 257 Coffee House, offers Bukit Panjang residents a taste of the good ol’ days with desserts and snacks such as peng kueh, Nyonya kueh, and carrot cake.

The goodies at Eng Huat Seng are laid out neatly on tables, inviting you to feast your eyes before feeding your stomach. Those looking for more variety, check out the trolley racks just outside the store. They’re stocked with items including white bread, Sunshine buns, and tortilla wraps for your DIY brekkie.
If you’re here after 12:30pm, we highly recommend getting their glutinous rice, priced at just $2. This best-seller is available with white sauce or dark sauce.

For something more substantial, order a serving of their vegetarian bee hoon ($2). This hearty dish features fragrant bee hoon noodles stir-fried with green chilli, cabbage, fried beancurd sheets, and mock char siew. You can also request a side of zesty chilli sambal to take the flavours up a notch.

Eng Huat Seng Snack Bar offers a variety of traditional desserts too, including Pulut Hitam and Red Bean Soup, priced affordably at $1.80 each. They’ve also got Mung Beans dessert ($1.80), AKA tau suan, comprising split mung beans that are simmered and steamed to achieve a soft, starchy consistency.
If you prefer cold desserts, opt for the Ice Longan ($1.80) or Sea Coconut ($2) instead for something more refreshing.
