1. Cheok Kee Duck Rice 作记鸭饭 (#01-29)
There is something deeply comforting about a plate of old-school duck rice done properly. The braised duck here is tender, juicy, and soaked in rich herbal flavours, while the fragrant rice happily absorbs every drop of that dark soy gravy. The sauce itself deserves applause — savoury, slightly sweet, thick, and intensely flavourful without becoming overly salty.
The tau kwa side dish is another crowd favourite, though regulars know it disappears surprisingly fast almost every day. Generations have been returning for this nostalgic taste, and it still feels like the kind of meal your parents and grandparents would proudly recommend.
Signature Dish: Braised Duck Rice
Operating Hours: 10am – 5.30pm
Closed: Tuesday
2. Ah Hwee BBQ Chicken Wings 亚辉 (#01-14)
The smell of charcoal-grilled chicken wings drifting through East Coast Lagoon is almost impossible to resist. These wings are beautifully marinated, evenly grilled, and packed with smoky flavour right down to the crispy tail section.
What makes them stand out is the consistency — every wing arrives nicely caramelized with juicy meat beneath the crisp skin. Even better, they remain surprisingly affordable compared to many BBQ wing stalls around Singapore. Perfect for sharing, though most people usually end up ordering more than intended, with very reasonable $1.40 per piece.
Signature Dish: BBQ Chicken Wings
Operating Hours: 3pm – 11pm (Sat & Sun from 12pm)
Closed: Wednesday & Thursday
3. Ah Yu Fried Prawn Noodle Hokkien Mee 阿宇炒福建面 (#01-36)
Fans of wet-style Hokkien mee will probably fall in love here. The noodles arrive swimming lightly in rich seafood broth infused with intense wok hei, while large fresh prawns, squid, pork slices, and crispy pork lard complete the plate beautifully.
The chilli packs a satisfying punch and works wonderfully with the citrus squeeze from fresh lime. Portions are generous too, making it extremely satisfying for supper. Every mouthful carries smoky depth, seafood sweetness, and comforting richness all at once.
Signature Dish: Fried Hokkien Mee
Operating Hours: 3pm – 10pm (Sat & Sun from 12pm)
Closed: Wednesday
4. Song Kee Fried Oyster 松记蚝煎 (#01-15)
Few things scream “classic Singapore hawker food” louder than a sizzling plate of oyster omelette. Here, the version leans crispier with beautifully charred edges and less starchy batter, allowing the eggs and oysters to shine more prominently.
The oysters are plump and juicy, while the chilli sauce brings together spicy, tangy, and slightly citrusy flavours that cut through the richness perfectly. One reason loyal customers keep returning is their consistency — even during busy queues, standards rarely drop.
Signature Dish: Fried Oyster Omelette
Operating Hours: 4.30pm – 9pm (Sat from 2pm, Sun from 12pm)
Closed: Wednesday
5. Haron Satay & Chicken Wing (#01-55)
Satay by the beach simply hits differently. The skewers here are grilled patiently over charcoal until lightly smoky with a slight char around the edges. Paired with ketupat, cucumber, onions, and thick peanut sauce, it becomes the ultimate East Coast Park supper combination.
Although slightly pricier than some satay stalls elsewhere, the quality and tenderness make it worthwhile. The peanut sauce is rich, nutty, and addictive enough to make you scrape the plate clean.
Signature Dish: Grilled Satay
Operating Hours: 3pm – 8pm
Closed: Tuesday
6. 16 BBQ Seafood Stall (#01-16)
Seafood lovers usually flock here for sambal stingray, lala, and BBQ seafood platters perfect for sharing. The stingray remains moist and meaty beneath the spicy sambal, while the clams are sweet and fresh.
The sambal leans slightly sweeter rather than aggressively spicy, making it approachable for most diners. Combined with the lively seaside atmosphere, cold drinks, and smoky aromas from neighbouring stalls, it easily becomes one of the most enjoyable supper experiences here.
Signature Dish: BBQ Seafood
Operating Hours: 5pm – 12am Daily
7. Daddy Cuisine by Daddy BBQ (#01-46)
Finding restaurant-quality kebabs inside a hawker centre feels slightly unexpected, but this stall pulls it off impressively. The kebabs are juicy, smoky, and generously portioned, while the cheese baked rice arrives bubbling hot with stretchy melted cheese layered over tender meat.
The biryani rice option adds extra fragrance and spice, making the meal even more satisfying. It is hearty comfort food with Middle Eastern flair, perfect when you want something different from the usual hawker staples.
Signature Dish: Kebab / Cheese Baked Rice
Operating Hours: 10.30am – 11.30pm
Closed: Monday
8. Choon Hiang 春香 (#01-46)
This humble stall quietly dishes out comforting local favourites at wallet-friendly prices. Their Char Kway Teow carries that nostalgic old-school flavour profile, while the Hokkien mee leans lighter and more traditional with thin bee hoon and semi-wet noodles.
The belachan chilli with lime gives everything an addictive kick. From fried rice to mee goreng, the dishes may look simple, but they deliver satisfying wok-fried comfort that keeps regulars returning.
Signature Dish: Fried Hokkien Mee / Mee Goreng / Char Kway Teow
Operating Hours: 12pm – 10.30pm
Closed: Wednesday
9. Hwa Kee Barbeque Pork Noodle 华记云吞面 (#01-45)
Wanton mee fans looking for a slightly different flavour profile may enjoy this version. Instead of the usual savoury sauce, the noodles are tossed with char siew sauce that gives them a sweeter, smokier finish.
The noodles remain springy with a satisfying bite, while the char siew carries a slightly charred edge that boosts the flavour further. Pair everything together with their spicy chilli and comforting soup, and it becomes a surprisingly addictive supper option.
Signature Dish: Wanton Mee
Operating Hours: 5pm – 11.30pm
Closed: Wednesday
10. Lagoon Famous Carrot Cake 人工湖驰名萝卜糕 (#01-40)
The mixed black-and-white carrot cake here is perfect for indecisive diners. The white version offers crispy eggy edges with soft radish cake inside, while the black version delivers a richer caramelised sweetness from dark soy sauce.
Unlike overly sweet versions elsewhere, this one stays nicely balanced. Add their chilli for extra heat and savouriness, and it becomes the sort of dish people happily queue for during supper hours.
Signature Dish: Fried Carrot Cake
Operating Hours: 4pm – 9pm
Closed: Monday & Tuesday
11. Leng Heng Chicken Rice 龙兴鸡饭 (#01-07)
Sometimes, a comforting plate of chicken rice is all you really need. The poached chicken here is tender and smooth, paired with fragrant rice, crunchy vegetables, flavourful soup, and punchy chilli sauce.
Portions are generous for the price, and the cheerful stall owner adds to the warm, old-school hawker charm. It is simple, satisfying, and exactly the kind of comforting meal Singaporeans never get tired of.
Signature Dish: Chicken Rice
Operating Hours: 11am – 7.30pm
Closed: Wednesday & Thursday
12. Sangtawan Sunny Thai (#01-27)
This stall brings proper Thai-style wok flavours into the heart of East Coast Lagoon. Their Thai Basil Pork Rice is fragrant, savoury, slightly spicy, and loaded with smoky wok hei. Pair it with a crispy fried egg, and it instantly becomes ultimate comfort food.
The Tom Yum Seafood Soup is equally satisfying — spicy, sour, aromatic, and packed with seafood ingredients. Unlike overly creamy versions, this one stays bright and refreshing with strong lemongrass and kaffir lime notes.
Signature Dish: Roast Pork Rice / Thai Basil Minced Meat Rice
Operating Hours: 11am – 10.30pm Daily
