15 Hougang Food Spots You Must Try, Including DIY Prata And Long Queue Congee
Despite being tucked away in a quiet HDB estate, the stall manages to draw perennial long queues for its delectable fare.
The stall is run by an elderly couple who always seem to be hard at work—one of them whips up orh luak, while the other prepares plate after plate of char kway teow. Watching them work with synchronicity makes for quite the sight.
It’s easy to see why the Hougang Fried Oyster (from $6) is so beloved. The presence of pork lard in each omelette gives it its wonderful aroma and flavour. Textually, the orh luak has crispy edges and gooey insides.
But of course, it is the plump and fresh oysters in the omelette that bring it all together. The stall serves truly moreish plates of orh luak.
For something more substantial, be sure to get some Fried Kway Teow (from $4.50). This “wet” rendition of char kway teow is both savoury and sweet, with a good amount of wok hei present throughout. Your typical CKT ingredients such as Chinese sausage, hum, and fishcake feature throughout, but to really have your fill of those, we recommend ordering the $5 portion.
