    Rojak: Kovan Rojak #01-39 serves one of the better offerings in the country. You have the option of adding more ingredients to this local fruit salad: toasted cuttlefish, century eggs & even abalone!

    There are 2 popular wanton noodle stalls in this hawker centre but I prefer 51 Ming Fa. Their noodle stands out; very springy, every bite is so yummy! Made my 40 minutes queue time well worth it.

    Roast meats. Unassuming stall Bedok Cooked Food #01-32 is find of the year. Char siew (BBQ pork) was juicy & well caramelised. Honest roasted taste of duck meat with crispy skin. Would be back!

    Vegetarian bee hoon. When a stall offers several green dishes, instead of just fried/processed gluten products, I zoom in. Jin Shun Zhai 01-46 does not disappoint. Enjoyed their curry vege

    Economy rice ('chai png'). Enjoyed home-style dishes from Teo Heng #01-37. Operated by locals, who probably understand our tastes & preferences better

    A good example of a heartland hawker centre. Bright and airy, with decent standard of hawker fares. The corner coffee stall nearest to heartland mall is good.

    Soya milk. While the drink from Cold Soya Beancurd #01-14 was thick & aromatic, we did not like the artificial coffee creamer aftertaste

    Chicken curry noodle: #01-05 was disappointing. Lotsa recommendations on 4SQ. After 15-min q later, realised it was just their laksa sauce with boiled chicken. Zero curry :-( I'll go Hong Lim nxt time
