In the East district of Singapore, Eunos is admittedly a less scoured area compared to popular spots like Joo Chiat or Katong. From Chinese zi char to Western delights, Eunos actually houses many hidden gems that we may be missing all this while. Here is a round-up of 8 Eunos food places to check out when you are in the vicinity.

Don’t be misguided by its name, Le Chasseur is not a French restaurant. Located in the industrial area of Eunos, Le Chasseur actually serves up local delicacies. From Curry Chicken ($7++) to Coffee Pork Ribs ($15++), the variety offered here will leave you spoilt for choice.
Their signature Claypot Rice ( $11++ for small,$20++ for big) is definitely one to try. They use basmati rice here – unique to other stalls selling claypot rice, which typically use normal short grain rice. Take note that the claypot rice is cooked upon order and the wait is about 20 minutes. So do come only when you have enough time to spare waiting for the food!
