1. Sakedokoro Eizaburo
This one’s for Japanese food fans: Sakedokoro Eizaburo has XL don and sashimi at affordable prices that won’t break the bank. One of the most popular items is the Mega Chicken Karaage Don ($13.90++), featuring a pile of fried chicken chunks atop a bed of rice. If you’re there for seafood, consider the Unagi Don ($15.90++) or Fujiyama Kaisen Don ($16.90++) instead; the latter comes with uni, crab meat, ikura, diced salmon and seabass sashimi, tamagoyaki, nori, and a dollop of wasabi.

2. Yuen Kee Dumpling
When Yuen Kee Dumpling first opened at Fortune Centre, there was a snaking long queue every day, where diners had to wait an hour just to try the China-famous dumplings. We too had to wait just to get the Shrimp and Vegetables Pork Dumpling with the Viral Mixed Sauce with Chilli Oil La Mian, a hefty portion that only cost us $11.80+. The dumplings were not overly doughy, and packed with just the right amount of pork, sweet shrimp, chives, and black fungus.

3. New Station Rice Bar
When you don’t know what to eat, don’t think twice and just head to New Station Rice Bar straight. Most of the items are priced at $8.50 here, including the crowd-favourite Salted Egg Chicken Rice with Fried Egg and our personal favourite Eggplants lying on a bed of Minced Meat with Rice. You can add on a comforting bowl of Black and White Garlic Chicken Soup ($10) or a hearty plate of Handmade Radish Cake Omelette ($12).

4. Bao Er Cafe
Bao Er Cafe is one of the only spots at Fortune Centre that opens early, which makes for a great breakfast spot. An ideal morning starts with warm, toasty Kaya Toast ($2.30) with a cup of Coffee ($1.70) or Teh ($1.70). If you’re visiting during lunch or dinner, opt for the Prawn Noodle Soup ($6) or Yang Zhou Fried Rice ($6.50) instead; they are equally popular choices among the regulars.
Unit number: #02-06
Opening hours: Daily 8am to 8pm

5. Madness Nasi Lemak
Newly opened Madness Nasi Lemak is known for doling up pork berempah-style nasi lemak, a dish that hails from Kuala Lumpur. It’s not commonly found in Singapore, so we had to drop by and try! The Nasi Lemak Crispy Pork Belly Berempah ($6.90) here features all the staples: coconut rice, sambal, egg, but instead of a fried chicken, you get crispy pork belly slices. For something more robust, we recommend the Nasi Lemak Nyonya Pork Rendang ($8.90), starring a large serving of Nyonya-style pork rendang.

6. Wawa Lala Bee Hoon
There used to be a time Singaporeans went head over heels for lala. If you’re a fan, head to Wawa Lala Bee Hoon for a comforting bowl of Authentic Clam Noodles with Chinese Wine ($9.50), which comes with either rice noodle or glass noodle. If you’d like it without alcohol, get the Refreshing Clam Soup Noodles ($8.90) instead! There are dry options too, with the likes of Fresh Cockles in Wawa Special Sauce ($13.50) and Fresh Clams in Homemade Garlic Butter Sauce ($8.90).

7. A9 Noodle Dumpling
Dumplings and noodles under $5 are a rare find these days, which makes A9 Noodle Dumpling even more of a gem. The eatery specialises in house-made dumplings, priced at only $4 for 15 pieces, and la mian dishes, both dry and soup. You have to order their Chive Pork Dumplings ($4) when dining here. This homely side dish comes stuffed with juicy, well-seasoned minced pork and a generous dash of chives. For noodles, the most affordable option is the Plain Soup Noodle ($3), topped with veggies, but you can also opt for their more flavourful options, including the Zha Jiang Noodle ($5).

8. Mama Patisserie
For some healthy fresh bakes, drop by Mama Patisserie, a humble bakery shop known for a large variety of bread rolls. The Sesame Yam ($2.80) sells like hotcakes, while the Char Siew Pizza ($3) is a more unique choice for those who want something different. There are loaves too, perfect for breakfast or a midday snack. Some popular picks include the Signature Chocolate Bowl ($6.80), Nutty Currant ($6.80), and Beet Root Loaf ($6.80).

9. Ume San 100
On the second floor of Fortune Centre, you’ll spot a row of vending machines selling Japanese spirits and magazines. Push the vending machine under the sign, Ume San 100, and you’ll find yourself in a Japanese-themed speakeasy. They’re home to one of the largest collections of umeshu in Singapore, so this is a great spot to check out if you love the Japanese plum liquor. Pair your tipple of choice with their range of moreish bar bites, which includes Garlic French Fries ($12++), Puffer Fish Karaage ($18++) and plenty more. If you’re looking to have a substantial meal, Ume San 100 also has a line-up of ramen dishes available, as they double up as a ramen bar too.

This restaurant serves Japanese vegetarian fare and is well-loved by many patrons. We recommend the Unag Stir-Fry Bento ($29++), which stars teriyaki tofu unagi, and other vegetarian side dishes, served with miso soup and rice. The Cold Natto Soba ($15++) is also worth a shot if you prefer noodles to rice.

Looks can be deceiving, but this savoury, sweet, and spicy curry gravy is made purely with fruits and vegetables, plus a secret mix of spices. You can also go for the crowd-favourite Tracy’s Special Udon Noodles ($9.90), which features udon noodles, broccoli, and cherry tomatoes in a thick, comforting, and mushroom-rich broth.
