Balestier

Balestier is a rich melting pot of hidden finds and local delicacies rich with history. Fancy a food trail that is sure to keep you satiated? Balestier has got you covered, with its famous bak kut teh, chicken rice, tau sar piah and even everyone’s favorite hawker dishes at Whampoa Hawker Centre and Whampoa Makan Place (both situated side by side). Along the main road are also the unmistakable rows of colorful shophouses which house lighting and electrical shops. Although a little off the beaten track (it's nestled between Toa Payoh and Lavendar), Balestier is an area that is definitely worth a visit if one wishes to experience the warmth of an atypical Singaporean Neighbourhood. A place where heritage meets modern, all within one of the most iconic places of sunny Singapore.

Ask any local and they will remember these traditional bakeries from their childhood. 50 years on, Sing Hon Long Bakery still holds steadfast to prepping bread the way they always have. Pick off the rows and rows of freshly baked bread and choose the spread to go within. The staff will then expertly carve off the crust before slicing the bread and generously adding kaya, butter or peanut butter. Although these soft pillowy loaves do not get the same fanfare as kaya toast, they most certainly are a well-loved part of the Singaporean palette!
