Shi Nian Pig Leg Rice, which has multiple outlets including Old Airport Road and Marine Parade, has also set up shop at Senja. Their signature Pig Trotter Rice ($5.90) features house-braised pig trotter with rice, salted vegetables, and a slice of prawn cake. The meat is said to boast a thick and gelatinous layer of skin, with a generous amount of fat for extra indulgence. If you love offal, definitely order a side of Swirly Intestine ($9), best paired with their house-made chilli dip.

Westies can get their chee cheong fun cravings sorted at Pin Wei Hong Kong Style Chee Cheong Fun’s Senja outlet. We recommend their Prawns Cheong Fun ($5): smooth and bouncy steamed rice rolls stuffed with plump prawn pieces, doused in a secret house-made sauce. Complement this with the stall’s sambal belacan, made with shrimp paste, garlic, onions, and chilli padi. Pin Wei also offers other flavours such as Plain ($3), Char Siew ($4), and even a premium Scallop ($6) option! Easties, you can check out their Bedok branch instead.
