Been here a few times. Last night's experience with the food just disappoint me. I order Penang kuih teow, and kuih charp. Both were too salty for me! I don't understand why somehow the food were too salty... And the drink I bought were way too sweet in which I was not when I bought it few months back... sad. The Malay stall was good on the whole. I had satay and something else few months back. Atmosphere was nice, no issues with it. It can get crowded at times, I guess on Tuesdays, they have a mini pasah malam.

A very crowded food court with plenty of options. The fruit rojak tasted good—RM8 for a small portion, though slightly pricey for the size. The ginger onion lala was fresh and tasty at RM15. Overall, an authentic local food court, but the tables are arranged quite close to each other.

Craving for satay near Taman Pelangi, only 1 stall in this food court. Just food tasting this chicken satay (RM1.30/stick) & lamb satay (RM1.80/stick) but the peanut sauce is lesser rich gravy & less spicy.

This open-air food court offers an excellent variety of food stalls, making it a fantastic spot for a casual yet satisfying meal. The selection is diverse, featuring local favorites like yong tau foo, satay, char kway teow, and Hokkien mee. One of the highlights here is definitely the chicken claypot rice—fragrant, well-seasoned, and cooked to perfection with crispy bits at the bottom that add great texture and flavor. In addition to the usual hawker fare, there’s also an impressive selection of seafood, including fresh lala clams, BBQ seafood, and the ever-popular sambal stingray, which was flavorful with just the right amount of spice. The food is prepared quickly, and the best part is that it’s served straight to your table, making the experience smooth and hassle-free. Drinks are also worth mentioning, as there’s a great variety of fresh fruit juices to complement your meal—perfect for cooling down in Singapore’s humid weather. The atmosphere is lively but comfortable, with both open-air and sheltered seating available, making it a great place to dine regardless of the weather. Prices are very reasonable, portions are generous, and service is efficient. If you’re looking for quality local food at affordable prices, this is definitely a spot worth visiting!!

The curry fish head is super delicious! kick！ fried guo tiao are also very wok hei! Although avocados are relatively expensive, they are worth it！ because they are really cukup rasa！ Although the environment is not very clean, but parking is very convenient, so I recommend everyone to try it！ I will try other food when I go back ，because it is so delicious！
