The Strawberry Fields milkshake ($10) is a great breakfast substitute with fresh strawberries, granola, bananas, and honey. The flavor is excellent and it's worth the price: basically an awesome meal-in-a-cup.
The individual sets are a great value at $5-6, and include a good amount of both rice and meat to make for a fulfilling meal. The garlic pork (pictured), diced basil pork/chicken/beef, and green curry chicken fried rice are my favorites.
On the 2nd storey of the hawker centre is a juice stall called Shiok Naturals (on the corner closest to the bathrooms). They have a load of various smoothie options combining fresh fruits to create unique flavors, at usually $2.50 a pop. My favorite is the strawberry & peach smoothie, which has warranted many trips to the Golden Mile Hawker Centre - even when we already ate lunch elsewhere.
I was amazed when I saw that there was a stall selling Portuguese egg tarts here. It is hard enough finding a place serving this favorite dish of mine in Singapore, and to have one in a hawker centre - across the street from my office at that - was truly exciting. Unfortunately, it wasn't as crispy nor flavorful as I was hoping for. I'll need to revisit sometime to see it was perhaps a one-off batch.
Not often that you stumble across a good kebab shop in Singapore and this is one of the best that I've had. I recommend adding the hummus filling to the lamb shawarma.
The Lemongrass Steak sandwich ($12, or upsize to $16 as in the photo) was much better than I expected. This is some real quality beef with seriously awesome texture, not the sliced ham or roast beef crap you get from the likes of Subway. The bread was nice and crispy too.
The food, drinks, and especially staff at The Hangar are great. Would definitely give it 5 stars if not for the price, which seems to be a touch on the higher side (though to be fair, you're paying for quality).
I've been looking for a good Indian option in the area for about 6 months, so it was very exciting to hear about Yummy Punjaby just a few minutes away. The setting is very unassuming and casual, with no air conditioning though the open concept keeps it from feeling stuffy. The food is definitely good and value for money, with the Thursday butter chicken meal being a clear winner to me. They were also generous with the naan and rice. Will need to come back and try the other choices.
I know Aston's isn't anything new or special, but sometimes you have a craving for a decent steak that is somewhere between a hawker centre and a fine dining establishment, and Aston's scratches that itch very well. The Prime Ribeye meal ($17.90 w/ 2 sides) was obviously not as great as higher end establishments, but for the price was quite satisfying and noticeably better than hawker fare. Cheaper meals options (e.g. fish or chicken) are also available in the $10 range.
The western food stall in the middle of the 2nd floor is quite good (the one closer to the CBD, as there are 2 right across from each other). Roughly $6-8 depending on what you order, the lamb and chicken are both good.
I eat here probably once every 2 weeks or so. The burgers here are big, fresh, and satisfying, but something about the meat texture feels a bit more rubbery than it does juicy. Nevertheless, these are one of the better gourmet burgers in Singapore and I always enjoy having a meal here.
While not the best salad shop in Singapore that I've been to, you'll struggle to find another that provides better value. This is a no frills venue which is extremely popular and they also offer some good fresh fruit tubs should you be on a real health kick.
My favourite quick lunch venue in this area. Mrs Pho is a great little Vietnamese restaurant which has real authenticity. Love the healthy and light nature of their dishes alongside the buzzing atmosphere of this place.
I never really ate Thai food that often in the past, but having such great choices just under my office has converted me to a big fan! The consensus favorite amongst my friends is Diandin Luluk, with our typical dishes being the green/red curry chicken ($12), pineapple rice ($12), tom yum soup ($12), and mango sticky rice ($6). Beware the food coma after stuffing yourself with all the delicious and flavorful food!
