10 Lorong Chuan Food Places That Are Hidden In Plain Sight

1st June 2018

Lorong Chuan food places to hit up


Mention Bishan or Serangoon to anyone and I am certain they will be able to give you at least some food places near the respective MRT stations. Talk about Lorong Chuan, however, most would hesitate and find it hard to even think of anything. What people don’t realise is that Lorong Chuan MRT Station is actually right smack in the middle of two popular food spots! One is the stretch of restaurants at Jalan Riang, and the other is a kopitiam at Serangoon Avenue 3. Check out these Lorong Chuan food places the next time you’re in the area!


1. Wimbly Lu

Found opposite Zhonghua Secondary School is Tanjong Rhu Wanton Noodle, a hawker stall with only two main dishes – Wanton Noodle (Dry/Soup) ($3.50/$4.50) and Dumpling Noodle (Dry/Soup) ($4/$5). Those who crave for more of their meaty dumplings can also order just the Dumpling Soup ($4). My favourites, however, are their Fried Wanton ($2.50 for eight pieces) and Fried Dumpling ($4 for four pieces)!

It goes without saying that you have to get the Prawn Noodle ($4/$5/$6) when you’re at Soon Huat Prawn Noodle House. When you’re there, however, another dish that you should not miss out on is their Lor Mee ($3.50/$4.50). Other than drawing praises for the thick savoury sauce, what makes this dish popular is also the generous amount of fishcake, ngoh hiang, and fried wontons drenched in gravy. Like most prawn mee places, the stall also serves other variations of prawn noodles including Pork Ribs Big Prawn Noodle ($6/$8/$10) and Pig’s Tail Noodle ($4/$5/$6).
