When the wallet’s tight but the craving for chicken chop and fish and chips hits, two places come to mind – Astons and iSTEAKS. Most times, they leave me decently satisfied but the restless foodie in me knows that there are many more options out there. After some digging around, I’ve compiled this list of Western food stalls serving cheap, good, and generously portioned Western food!
Residents of Kovan and Hougang would long be familiar with 5 Star Corner, which serves huge portions. The most memorable dish we tried was their Chicken Cutlet ($6). Besides the huge slab of fried meat that almost covered the entire plate, the dish also came with sides such as crispy fries, a piece of toasted garlic bread, baked beans, and a mountain of coleslaw. While the side dishes did not impress, the chicken’s crispy skin and flavour-packed tender meat made the meal a satisfying one.
Check out our full review of 5 Star Corner!

Started in 1999, Wow Wow West Genuine used to serve Western dishes to students at Raffles Institution’s canteen before they moved to ABC Brickworks Food Centre. Their menu is simple, with typical Western dishes such as Pork Chop ($7), Fish and Chips ($7), and Chicken Cutlet ($7). The portion and quality of the food, however, prove that they are not any run-of-the-mill stall and the unceasing queues are a testimony to that. If you are planning to check out Wow Wow West Genuine, I’d suggest visiting their Facebook page to make sure they are open as they tend to take spontaneous breaks!
Address: 6 Jalan Bukit Merah, #01-133, ABC Brickworks Food Centre, Singapore 150006
Opening hours: Tue 10:30am to 2pm, Wed-Sat 10:30am to 2pm, 4:30pm to 8pm

With a bright orange signboard that has huge Chinese characters on it, Hot Plate Western Food may be easily mistaken as a stall selling Chinese fare. Only after looking closely at their menu would you realise that they specialise not only in Western food, but also really affordable dishes. At $5.50, two of their more popular dishes are their Pork Chop and Chicken Chop. Besides the big portions of nicely grilled meat, each set also comes with fries, baked beans, coleslaw, and a sunny side up. If you have more cash to spare and can’t decide which meat to treat yourself to, get their Mixed Grill ($8) that comes with a combination of grilled chicken, pork, beef, lamb, and a sausage.

If you are at Old Airport Road Food Centre and can’t decide which of their Western food stalls to check out, try Holy Grill. On their extensive menu, you can find various types of meat prepared in many different ways. Priced at $6.50, chicken is served in dishes such as Crispy Fried Chicken, Simply Grilled Chicken, and Teriyaki Chicken. My personal go-to would be their Grilled Fish With Cajun Spices ($6.50). Whether it’s chicken, fish, or pork, you can expect the meat to fill up about half the plate, leaving just enough space to squeeze in two free sides. Some sides you can choose from are fries, baked potato, and coleslaw.

Wang’s Western is found in Toa Payoh’s Kim Keat Palm Market and Food Centre. The stall whips up more than 20 different Western dishes, with most of them priced at less than $6. Their Pork Chop with Rice ($3.80) and Chicken Chop with Rice ($3.80) take the trophy in terms of the worth-it factor. That being said, other specialties such as Fish & Chips ($5.50) and Chicken Chop ($5.50) also offer value for money.
