Having the choice of German food in a coffeeshop is a wonderfully refreshing concept. This Swiss-German stall serves up awesome crispy German Pork Knuckles ($15 for half, or $25 for whole portions) served with peppery potato mash, and creatively replaces the traditional sauerkraut with a delightful achar. Another popular item is their Oxtail Stew ($18.90) — chunks of super tender oxtail immersed in rich broth — perfect for sharing! Stomach-warming stews, crackling pork knuckles and refreshing beers definitely make for a perfect night out with your best friends.
Boasting an impressive selection of specialty beers, ciders and German lager on tap, Beer is Food is a much welcome addition to the stall directory of Golden Mile Food Centre. With over 50 types of beers and ciders and regular new additions, this playground of craft beer allows you to pair unique drinks with your favourite hawker fare. Prices range from $8-14.
Keeping things simple and fresh is Seasalt's philosophy. Dig into a scrumptious pot of mussels at this stall (also situated in Salut Coffeeshop), and choose from a selection of sauces including white wine, garlic cream, blue cheese, and even tom yum! Go for the garlic cream sauce, a surprisingly light and fragrant complement to the fresh, sweet mussels ($15). If mussels aren't your thing, go for a pot of fresh King Prawns ($16), some Lemon Butter Fish and Chips ($9), or Grilled Snapper ($12) instead!
Situated in the 'ang moh' Salut Coffeeshop in Bukit Merah, Two Wings fries their chicken to order, guaranteeing hot, crispy, incredibly satisfying wings. Making them even more addictive is dunking them in their special chicken-rice-chili-esque chili, which ensures you won't be able to stop at one (or two, for that matter). If you enjoy a well-battered wing, you'll certainly enjoy sinking your teeth into the crisp exterior of these babies. The wait can get a little long sometimes, so order in advance if you're planning to head down. Please get an ice cold beer from a neighbouring stall to complete this experience!
Closed since November last year due to renovation works at Amoy Street Food Centre, A Noodle Story has opened its shutters once again, churning out what has become a hawker favourite in the CBD — Singapore-style ramen. It features springy wanton noodles coated in a garlic-ginger-onion infused oil, wantons, irresistibly oozy onsen egg, slices of tender melt-in-your-mouth chashu, and shrimp wrapped in crispy potato. Phew. At half the price of normal ramen ($5 for small, $6 for medium), it certainly doesn't compromise on flavour or satisfaction!
Sometimes all you need is a plate of comforting, downright delicious pasta. Enter Ah Bong's Italian, helmed by the affable Chef Chris, which caters to that very need by serving a range of fantastic pastas right out of a humble coffeeshop stall in Tiong Bahru Estate — for just six bucks a plate. Choose anything that suits your fancy, from the irresistible Truffle Mac & Cheese (no description needed), to the signature Birthday Pasta — a seriously magical combination of broccoli, cream and bacon. End off with a unique dessert of the day, which sees delightful creations like Orange Earl Grey Crème Brûlée, and wash it all down with a kopi-o from the uncle next door! There are limited portions available each day, so head down early.
With branches in Dover and Pandan Garden, Ministry of Ribs brings good ol' American grub that is set to satisfy at extremely affordable prices. True to their name, their Hickory Smoked Ribs ($13.90 for half, $20.90 for full portion) are a stand-out, having been thoughtfully selected, slow-cooked, smoked and then seared for incredible flavour with their blend of spices and sauces. Their special Ministry Burger ($13.90) is a hearty option, complete with bacon and fried onion onion rings atop a juicy beef patty cooked to perfection. Ribs, burgers and prime ribeye steaks prepared fresh daily — this is just the spot to enjoy a hearty meal with friends or family.
You be surprised to find sous vide eggs in over 8 dishes, one of which is the braised lamb balls with crumbled feta, croutons, and sous vide egg on the night time menu is good for sharing.
You have probably tried pork, chicken and beef balls everywhere, and it's quite rare to find lamb balls around. The only worry is how the kitchen team going to manage with the laborious preparation and orders.
Licked by flames from a charcoal grill, this chicken chop came aptly charred and fragrant. Paprika fries that tagged along were great, but I wish they'd served the herb tomato sauce on the side as well, because the meat simply didn't need so much of it to overwhelm its already-tantalising smokey flavour.

Rochor Thai prides itself on not using MSG in any of their dishes and aims to serve authentic Thai food, so you may find some dishes that you haven't seen in other Thai restaurants (in Singapore). Get your appetite going with the Som Tum, a green papaya salad tossed in a zesty, spicy, savoury dressing and topped with peanuts to provide crunch. Don't miss the Salt Crusted Whole Tilapia - it doesn't look like much, but the salt crust packs in the moisture so you get soft, fresh fish that's perfectly cooked. The grilled pork collar is tender, flavourful, and goes exceedingly well with the accompanying Thai chilli dipping sauce. This is one place you can leave without feeling thirsty ;)
