There’s nothing quite like a trad Singaporean brekkie of kaya toast and kopi. Go old skool and pay tribute to one of Singapore’s oldest coffee shops, Keng Wah Sung, in Geylang. This cheap and cheerful family-run joint has been around for over 70 years, with loyal regulars coming back for the strong brews and value-for-money toast and egg sets. It doesn’t get more authentic than this.

4. The Original Katong Laksa Since 1950’s (Janggut Laksa)
An oldie but a goodie, legend has it this is the OG of ‘katong laksa’. Whilst the Roxy Square location may not be so enticing, you’re only here to slurp up that bowl of noodles. Add on the curry chicken if you have room.

Got kueh-vings for a snack? Hand-made and steamed daily with recipes handed down from mother to son, these traditional Teowchew Kuehs hit the spot, have earned rave reviews from the city’s toughest food critics, and are perfect for a light bite. With three locations in hawker centers at Bedok, Kovan, and Chinatown, these sell out quickly so go/order in the morning.
