Welcome to West Coast.

Established in June 1983, this stall caters primarily to hungry university students and port workers, the result of which means large and generous portions at affordable wallet-friendly prices, coupled with long operating hours through most of the day and night. The place isn't a culinary bastion, but it is a place for fast, cheap, and good eats.
.
The sticky and moist white rice carries a mild fragrance of coconut cream, a touch of grainy earthy floral sweet flavour. The achar / Peranakan pickled salad is crunchy and juicy with bright vegetal sour sweet spice flavour, the deep-fried ikan bilis / anchovies is crisp and crunchy with fishy savoury salty flavour, and the fried chicken egg with runny yolk is wobbly and soft with eggy sweet savoury flavour.
.
The sotong / squid balls are springy bouncy with savoury sweet flavour, the battered crab stick surimi is tender and crisp with mild sweet savoury briny salty flavour, and the battered chicken wing is tender though not as crisp as I'd hoped yet carrying meaty sweet savoury flavour. Their grainy sambal tumis / stir-fried chili paste is mild with sweet savoury salty spice flavour.

A heart full of gratitude and a table full of good food on the last day of 2025. 🤍✨

Reunited with my former colleagues over lunch after 9 long months and stepping back into the school felt so familiar — for just a moment, it was like I never really left.

We shared a spread of seafood dishes 🐙🦐🦀🐟🍕. They kept stuffing me with lots of food (not complaining 😆), especially after finding out I usually skip lunch at work. Everything was fresh, hearty and scrumptious.

So thankful for this rare moment, wonderful company, meaningful catch-ups and all the good vibes. Food really does taste better with people who matter. 😋
