928 Yishun Laksa
Hidden deep in an HDB estate in Yishun, this laksa is famed for its low price point and thick broth. With a wide range of delicious ingredients such as fresh fish cake, cockles and crab sticks, this is one laksa gem you won’t want to miss. Do expect a long queue at peak hours and on weekends – we suggest heading there early if you wish to indulge in some heavenly laksa goodness.
Address: #01-155, 928 Yishun Central 1
Haji Kadir Food Chains
Fans of bone marrow will love the mutton Sup Tulang Merah at Haji Kadir. Their specialty Sup Tulang Merah (red bone soup) consists of mutton bones stewed in a sweet spicy red broth of mutton stock, chillies, tomatoes and other flavourful spices. This dish is accompanied with slices of bread on the side, and it can get pretty messy while you’re getting that viscous bone marrow out – so avoid wearing light clothing which might show stains!

Serving authentic Indian fine dining, Madura's portrays the rich culture and heritage representing ancient cities Mathura (Northern India) and Madurai (Southern India) which are famed for their warm hospitality and assorted culinary anthology.
The restaurant features specialty dishes such as Chicken Lawabdar, a rich Mughlai dish with succulent chicken chunks in a creamy cashew sauce; Lamb Shank Briyani, an Indian dish with fragrant basmati rice with slow-cooked lamb shank topped with flavourful mutton curry, eggs and onions; and Mutton Vindaloo, a traditional Goan dish with tender mutton cubes and potatoes in a tangy red spicy gravy.
