To be honest, you’ll rarely see popiah stalls make the list of ‘must-eats’ in hawker centres. Bee Heng is one of the exceptions! Now run by the third generation, this grandfather of popiah stalls has been around since the 1930s. Their turnip is cooked in seafood stock and still retains a crunch when you bite into it. It is wrapped in a papery thin skin with the rest of the filling such as hard boi...

You can't make a trip to Newton Food Centre without ordering some grilled seafood. Guan Kee is at the top of the game when it comes to sambal stingrays.

Hup Kee Fried Oyster Omelette has a history that dates back to 1966, first operating at Glutton Square in Orchard Road before moving to Newton.

The fresh oysters kiss the hot skillet ever so slightly, so they’re still plump and crea...
