Get your Mexican fix at Guzman y Gomez’s first outlet in the East, right here in Our Tampines Hub. Take your pick from their menu of Mexican classics like Quesadillas (from $6), Tacos (from $3), Burritos (from $14.20), and Enchiladas (from $17.50). Then, choose your filling from a selection of chicken, beef, fish, vegetables, and their newest option: tofu.
We had a pair of Quesadillas with Grilled Chicken ($10), which came toasty from the oven. Biting into this, we were greeted with oozing melted cheese, perfect for that cheese pull shot. Our favourite, hands down, was the Nachos ($16.10) topped with Shredded Beef Brisket (top-up $2.20). The salsa and guacamole added a refreshing kick to the savoury, pull-apart meat. Altogether, this dish was a carnival of textures in the mouth, thanks to the crunchy corn chips.

A trip to nearby Penang seems unlikely in the near future, but Penang Savour brings the foodie destination to us. It doesn’t get more authentic than Penang Chendol ($3.20), Penang Laksa ($5.90), and Penang Fried Kway Teow ($6.40). The chendol is memorable for the red beans, which still retains some bite, homemade pandan jelly noodles, and the caramel, earthy taste of gula melaka.
The highlight was definitely the Penang Laksa, which is less commonly found in Singapore. The broth here is rich with the use of shrimp paste, and the flaked fish topping that typifies this assam-based laksa. You’ll be needing to stop yourself from slurping up all that toothsome soup.

For wallet-friendly Japanese rice and noodle bowls in the East, look no further than Ippon Fusion Bowl. This stall, located at Our Tampines Hub Hawker Centre, is known for their Ippon Pork Rice ($7.50), where pearl rice is combined with grilled pork belly, house-made donburi sauce, pickled veggies and more. If noodles are your preferred choice of carb, go for their Ippon Noodle Bowl ($7.50) instead, which stars fresh ramen noodles, chashu slices, minced pork and more.
During our visit, we found the noodles springy and QQ, working as the perfect canvas to soak up the delicious sauce and runny onsen egg.
