Fantastic prawn fritters; crispy outside soft inside with big prawn - must try. Soon Kueh- if you like a thick skin then this is for you, but means less filling as they are on the small size and thick skin reduces filling Beware sambal is on the salty side

Nostalgic find! This stall has all the authentic old time favorite snacks done well.
Senior uncle churns out savory steam yam, pumpkin cakes, fried carrot sticks, fried prawn cake & ngoh hiang.
Sweats are plentiful including muah chee, steam tapioca cakes, kueh kosui & ondeh ondeh.
I’ve tried fried carrot sticks - a lost item these days, fried prawn cracker, muah chee and ondeh ondeh.
All good especially muah chee when it’s fresh and warm.
Good time to come around 9am when most things are just fresh and warm.
My go-to now for old time cravings. Highly recommend.

Loved their 金瓜糕 (steamed pumpkin kueh). The texture is super smooth, and the black and chilli sauce heavenly!
