Bedok Interchange Hawker Centre food guide
I’ve not stepped foot into Bedok Interchange Hawker Centre since its massive revamp two years ago. In fact, I still vaguely remember where all the old stalls were located and this new layout was a complete maze to me. Thankfully, many of my favourite stalls are still standing strong, including the famous Inspirasi mee soto.

Loyal patrons of Ma La Xiang Guo insist the spicy Sichuan stir-fry here is as numbingly spicy as the famed Ri Ri Hong in Chinatown. Pricing is similar too, where they charge by the type of ingredients instead of weight. Vegetables go at $1.50 per portion, chicken and lean meat at $2.50, and mutton, beef, pork belly and seafood at $3. They also serve up Chongqing-style grilled fish ($25) that’s topped with tons of Sichuan chilli and served in a hot pot.

3. Ming Hui Nasi Lemak

My dad used to always take away Ming Hui Nasi Lemak for my Sunday lunch. The reason is simple: it’s just really cheap! A basic nasi lemak set with an egg, fried chicken wing and ikan bilis will only cost you $2.50. But if you have more to spend, consider add-ons such as Fish Fillet ($1.50), Sausage ($0.70), Otah ($1.20) and more. There’s also a pricier Fish Nasi Lemak ($5), which gets you a fried whole fish.
Unit number: #01-34
Opening hours: Mon-Sat 5am to 7:30pm, Sun 5am to 7pm

4. Hock Hai (Hong Lim) Curry Chicken Noodle

The famous Hock Hai (Hong Lim) Curry Chicken Noodle only serves two dishes: Curry Chicken Bee Hoon Mee ($5) and Satay Bee Hoon ($5), although the former is what everyone flocks here for. From afar, you can smell the aroma of the tantalising curry broth. Ingredients such as tau pok and fishcakes are dished out from a huge pot of curry and doused over yellow noodles and bee hoon.
Unit number: #01-58
Opening hours: Wed-Sun 9am to 9pm

5. Xue Hua Fei Cold & Hot Drinks

Xua Hua Fei Cold & Hot Drinks stall really takes hawker dessert to the next level with their Watermelon Ice (from $5). Great on a sweltering hot day, the carved watermelon is brimming with shaved ice, chunks of watermelon, as well as a cocktail of fruits like peach and longan. They also serve popular hawker thirst quenchers such as Calamansi ($1.50).

Another noodle stall that boasts a long queue, Mei Xiang Lor Mee pushes out lor mee ($4) and prawn noodles ($4). What makes their lor mee so special is their generous serving of ingredients, which includes ngoh hiang and fishcake. Be sure to load up on their garlic and chilli to further elevate the flavour of the starchy broth.

7. Jefri The Original Botak Chicken Rice
Jefri The Original Botak Chicken Rice is best known for their Nasi Goreng Ayam ($4.50) featuring bright orange rice. The almost garish colour comes from frying the chicken rice in a house-made mix of sambal and tomato paste! Their deep-fried chicken is highlighted by a crackling skin that goes well with the tangy chilli sauce served on the side. There’s also a Nasi Ayam ($4) for those who prefer more conventional chicken rice. They also do other dishes including Mee Hong Kong ($4) and Mee Soup ($4).
Unit number: #01-07
Opening hours: Mon 11:30am to 12am, Tue 12am to 10pm, 11:30am to 10pm, Wed-Thurs 11:30am to 10pm

One of the most popular stalls in the hawker centre, Pin Xiang Hainanese Chicken Rice serves up traditional chicken rice from just $3.80, with steamed or roasted chicken, fragrant rice that’s soaked in chicken stock and a punchy chilli sauce that keeps regulars coming back. And they don’t just have classic chicken rice: Char Siew Rice ($4), Crispy Pork Rice ($4), and Chicken Cutlet Rice ($4) work as delectable and hearty alternatives.

A Bedok favourite for years, this place specialises in hearty bowls like Mee Rebus ($3), Soto Ayam ($3), and Chicken Porridge ($3), all done old-school and affordably priced. The rich, flavourful broths and thick sauces really hit home, and patrons often recommend adding extra toppings like Begedil ($0.50) for even more oomph. This is another highly affordable option at Bedok Interchange Hawker Centre.

For a light, nostalgic snack, Bedok Chwee Kueh is where you go. This stall’s soft, steamed Chwee Kueh (from $1) are crowned with savoury chai poh and served with chilli—a classic formula done right. Regular customers love the soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture and perfectly balanced toppings, and are willing to queue early in the morning for it.
