11 Geylang Bahru Food Centre Stalls For Michelin-Approved Ban Mian And Old-School Western Fare

21st June 2023

Best Geylang Bahru Food Centre stalls


Though I live a lot closer to Bendemeer Food Centre, as a kid, I remember visitingย Geylang Bahru Food Centre more often. Maybe it was because my mama had to go to the town council every month. Or maybe it was because of the NTUC FairPrice right beside the food centre. Whatever it was, I never complained because I loved the food there. Check out these stalls the next time you’re in the area.


1. Hui Wei Chilli Ban Mian

Hui Wei Chilli Ban Mian, as its name suggests, is known for their Signature Chilli Ban Mian ($4.50/$6.50). Doused in their spicy and fragrant chilli sauce, their evenly coated noodles are springy and flavourful. The addition of pork lard only adds to the shiok factor! Topped off with ikan bilis, fried shallots, and a poached egg, this bowl of noodles is enough to spice up your Instagram feed. There is also the option of having Sliced Abalone La Mian ($4.50/$6.50), Ban Mian ($3.50), and 15 other noodle dishes if you canโ€™t take the heat.

This stall was recently awarded the Bib Gourmand 2023, so itโ€™s definitely a must-try!

Unit number: #01-58

2. Bang Bang Mushroom Bak Chor Mee

Iโ€™ve tried so many bowls of bak chor mee, including the famous Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodles, yet I would always go back to Bang Bang Mushroom Bak Chor Mee for a fix of this vinegary dish. Laced with the tart sauce, the springy noodles come with slices of fishcake, minced meat, a meatball, and mushrooms which soak up the gravy. Iโ€™d recommend asking for more vinegar for a stronger flavour. Prices start at $3.50 for a bowl of bak chor mee.

Unit number: #01-25
Opening hours: Tue-Sun 6am to 3pm
Bang Bang Mushroom Bak Chor Mee is not a halal-certified eatery.


3. Red Stove Fried Prawn Mee

The queue at Red Stove Fried Prawn Mee may be a tad intimidating, but a mouthful of these noodles would have you forget about the time spent standing and sweating through your clothes. Firm to the bite, the noodles I had soaked up the flavour of the prawn stock, creating a burst of flavours in my mouth. Paired with prawns, sotong, and eggs, this dish is a well-balanced one. Mix the chilli and lime in to get a refreshing kick! Prices start at $4 for a plate of fried Hokkien mee.

Unit number: #01-20
Opening hours: Daily 12:15pm to 10pm

4. Wen Wen Pork Rib Big Prawn Mee


Geylang Bahru Food Centre -Wen Wen Big Prawn Mee

What sets Wen Wen Pork Rib Big Prawn Mee apart from other good prawn noodle stalls would be their off-menu Seafood Prawn Mee Steamboat (from $60), which comes with free-flow soup and noodles. Their light broth is left to boil with prawns, la la, pigโ€™s intestines, pork ribs, pigโ€™s tail and a whole crab. The natural sweetness of the ingredients sure shines bright like a diamond here.

Unit number: #01-22
Opening hours: Tue-Sun 12pm to 2pm, 5:30pm to 8:30pm

5. Oikos Western Delight

Oikos Western Delight holds a special place in my heart; it was my childhood go-to Western stall. Even after so many years, I still love their Chicken Cutlet ($6.80). The huge piece of chicken, fried till crisp, brings back a sense of nostalgia. Eating Western food at a hawker centre as a kid, pretending it is the most atas thing ever, is an experience Iโ€™m sure many can relate to. Their extensive menu will spoil you with choices and have you going back for more.

Unit number: #01-66
Opening hours: Mon-Sat 12pm to 9:30pm, Sun 4:30pm to 9:30pm

6. Toa Payoh 93 Soon Kueh

I am not a soon kueh lover, but whenever my mother buys from Toa Payoh 93 Soon Kueh, I would stuff my face with their handmade Teochew kueh. Loaded with shredded turnip, mushrooms, and dried shrimps, their Soon Kueh ($5 for five pieces) is a crowd-favourite along with their Abacus Seed ($3), which is a Teochew dish that canโ€™t be found easily anymore.

Unit number: #01-68
Opening hours: Tue 7am to 7pm, Wed 8:30am to 7pm, Thurs-Sat 7am to 6pm, Sun 8:30am to 4pm

7. Cheok Kee Boneless Braised Duck


Cheok Kee - Braised Duck Rice intro

Cheok Kee Boneless Braised Duck serves up a simple Duck Rice ($3.50) paired with a fiery chilli that packs a whole lot of flavour and the rice is spammed with their delicious lu zhi, AKA braised sauce. Loved by many, the tender and juicy duck is generously portioned on top of a warm bed of flavourful rice. There’s also a porridge option at the same time if you want something more comforting.

Made for a comforting meal, Pu Tien Ya Zhu Mei Xiang Xiao Chiโ€™s Pu Tien Lor Mee ($4) is a bowl of thick soup, naturally sweetened by the seafood and pork used, and paired with a lot of mee. Even after soaking up the soup, the noodles still retain a springy texture. For all you adventurous eaters, go for their sharing dishes such as Lychee Pork ($8/$10).

9. Wan Guiย

For extra gao kopi, head to Wan Gui, which also has another outlet in Bendemeer Food Centre. Here, the Kopi O is priced at just $1, or you can cool down with a sweet and milky Kopi Bing ($1.30). Do make sure you request siew dai, as the drinks here lean sweet.

The kopi here is brewed to be stronger than in most places, so a few sips should do the trick to give you that much-needed caffeine boost.

Unit no: #01-71
Opening hours: TBD
