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.Â
True to its roots, the cafe specialises in traditional Singaporean and Malaysian dishes that evoke the comfort of home-cooked meals. Expect to find a variety of nostalgic favourites, all priced affordably. Some of their highlights include their Kaya Butter Toast Set ($5.20), which features house-made pandan kaya, Mee Hoon Kuey ($5.80), Century Egg Minced Meat Porridge ($3.80), and Economic Bee Hoon Set ($3.80).Â
While you’re there, be sure to try their most popular item—Chilli Pan Mee ($6.80).
Their mains are all priced under $7, so you won’t break the bank here.
Else, go for their Braised Pork Rice ($6.80), which is another customer favourite.
In addition to their affordable signature dishes, Wanglee Cafe offers a selection of beverages, including house-made options, all priced under $3!
Whether you’re a fan of classic kopitiam fare or looking for a nostalgic dining experience, Wanglee Cafe has you covered.Â
