As much as we love food, you would agree with us when we say that sometimes, it’s hard to decide on where to eat. It’s not even surprising if you find yourself perplexed when asked what’s nice to eat around Sengkang. Moreso, when you’re looking for budget-friendly ones.
To spare you the contentious decision-making, here are 5 of the best affordable eateries Sengkang locals recommend.
1. King of Fried Rice
With no grand introduction needed, King of Fried Rice is indeed made for royalty. Often compared to the Michelin-starred Din Tai Fung, their steady crowd favorite are the masterfully prepared Egg Fried Rice with Pork Cutlet ($8.50) and the sumptuous XO Fried Rice with Pork Cutlet ($10). Each grain of rice is fluffy and well seasoned with a pleasant wok hei fragrance that will hit you. With the meat so tender and flavorful, their fried rice creations are not to be messed with.

2. Sengkang Square Oyster Omelette
If you think your neighborhood has a great Oyster Omelette food stall, the one in Sengkang Square stands out for many reasons. This Halal hawker dishes out a tantalizingly fragrant mixture of fluffy egg with a pleasant smokiness and well-rounded seasoning and the plumpest and freshest oysters with a side of lightly-spiced chili sauce with just the right acidity.

3. Armenian Street Char Kway Teow
One of the old-time hawkers that are hard to beat, Armenian Street CKT dates back to the late 1940s and has relocated many times until they found a new address in Sengkang, and we could tell it’s here to stay. At just $4, you’ll get to indulge in a hot plate of chewy noodles coated with semi-sweet dark soy sauce, and loaded with fresh cockles, fish cake, crunchy bean sprouts and lard for texture, Chinese sausage, and egg, and rounded off with a fragrant wok hei goodness. It’s so good, you have to have patience in a long queue.

Their Dry Tom Yum Noodles ($5.50) is also addictively spicy and perfumed with a melange of fresh Thai spices and a squeeze of lime to cut through the richness.
