Zi Char stalls with islandwide delivery
With the newest Phase 2 heightened measures in place, many of us are confined to our own homes and dining options suddenly seem a lot more limited. Not to fret though, many restaurants and hawker stalls still remain open, and some have thankfully made arrangements to cater to their stay-home customers. We’ve compiled a list of zi char stalls offering islandwide delivery services, so you can enjoy hearty dishes at the comfort of your home.
Do show your support for these zi char warriors as we weather through the tough season together!

Frequenters of Keong Saik Road would find this particular eatery familiar, as Kok Sen Restaurant is indeed a household name in the midst of it. This restaurant serves Cantonese-style zi char and the family behind it has been in the business for about 50 years and running.
Awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2019, it’s no surprise that popular dishes such as their Big Prawns Hor Fun ($21+ for small) and Claypot Yong Tau Foo ($17.55+ for small) remain a hit with their regular crowd of all ages.

8. Xing Hua Delights
For a reasonably-priced alternative to the popular one-Michelin starred PUTIEN, turn to Xing Hua Delights for your taste of quality Heng Hwa cuisine in Singapore. Unlike the usual Hokkien hawker dish we’re accustomed to, their Xinghua Lor Mee ($6.90+ for small) is an equally rich version, with ingredients such as prawns, clams, Chinese cabbage, and bok choy to make the broth extra gao. For something lighter, go for the Xinghua Bee Hoon ($6.90+ for small) if it’s up your alley.
Their food delivery service requires a minimum order of $60, together with a flat islandwide delivery fee of $5. If not, look to food delivery platforms such as GrabFood as well.

Probably better known amongst NSmen and boys serving in the camps nearby, Jia Yuen Eating House is indeed a source of comfort food for most of us to look forward to. We’d recommend you try out the signature Creamy Salted Egg Butter Chicken Bento ($9.90) for a rich and savoury meal option. Alternatively, if you like that extra crunch, go for the Cereal Chicken Bento ($9.90) too, which also comes with rice and a sunny-side up egg to go along with.

10. Lai Huat Signatures
If their name does ring a bell, chances are you probably know Lai Huat Signatures more for their sambal belacan fish than anything. If you haven’t already tried it, consider ordering in the Famous Sambal Pomfret Fish ($35 for small) or Famous Sambal Sole Fish ($32 for small), especially for the spicy food lovers among us. Alternatively, their meat and seafood dishes are a catch too, with dishes such as Coffee Pork Ribs ($12 for small) and the Superior Stock Lala ($14 for small) popular as well.

11. Yassin Kampung
Boasting over 30 years of culinary experience, the chef behind Yassin Kampung is well-known for her interesting interpretations of traditional zi char, with modern and halal takes on most of her dishes. One of such examples would be the Sichuan Mala Fried Crab ($47.08 for regular), made for those who crave that numbing sensation from ma la xiang guo. Another unusual creation is the Kampung Durian Chicken ($23.54 for regular), that’s certainly worth a try.
They do offer islandwide delivery, with your delivery fees waived off if you make an order of $100 and above. Otherwise, turn to other delivery services such as Foodpanda and Deliveroo.

12. Nic & Tom Eatery
Started by two Gen-Z cousins, Nic & Tom Eatery has gained more traction, especially on social media, for their wallet-friendly dishes that are slightly unconventional at nett prices. Their unique rendition on the classic white bee hoon dish, the Seafood Cheese Bee Hoon ($12.30) is a more creamy and gao version, accompanied by the juiciness of seafood to form a tasty dish altogether.
Luckily, they do have an islandwide delivery service, with a flat $8 delivery fee for all orders below $50. Your delivery fees are completely waived off if you make an order of $50 and above. Otherwise, look to delivery platforms such as Foodpanda to send your food to your doorstep.
