Toa Payoh’s vibrant dining scene has a fresh addition: Wanglee Cafe, a Nanyang-style eatery. Conveniently located just a few doors down from popular spots such as  Kim Keat Hokkien Mee and Happiness Nonya Cakes & Confectionery, this charming cafe promises a taste of traditional favourites in an old-school setting.

The cafe, which opened its doors in June 2024, is the latest venture from the experienced team behind Yu Huang Premium Seafood Soup, a well-loved seafood stall from Taman Jurong that closed earlier this year.
