A great place to go for breakfast if you're in the area, whether as early as 8:30am or later. Not only does it offer good food, it has recently renovated its shop front, boasting a refreshed outlook, pleasing for patrons to sit and eat at good old hawker prices. The malay food stall has great Singaporean breakfast to offer, such as lontong and mee siam which are really good and nostalgic since it is rather hard to find these unless you specially make a trip to the markets to get your fix. The sayur lodeh ( vegetable curry) is fresh with generous chunks of fried beancurd to go along. Priced at your usual hawker prices, it is a decent perk-me-up if you are craving for a hearty local fare before work.
Drop by later after 11am, you should be in luck to get your hands on some malacca desserts and kuehs by another stall, run by a couple from Malacca. They are Peranakans and the stall is prettily done up with the traditional crockery one would usually spot in a Peranakan kitchen. The chendol is to die for, with a thick and good gula melaka, a deep note of caramel without being overly sweetened. It forms a delightful sauce with the fresh coconut milk generously poured over the ice. With a generous dollop of red beans and chendol jelly, you'd likely me tempted to polish the bowl and drink up the sweet sauce remaining by the spoonful (or just in gulps by picking up that bowl and drinking it).
Almost a fair representative of Singapore's ideal state of racial harmony, Soy Eu Tua Coffeeshop has Chinese, Malay, Indian and Peranakan hawker fares to choose from at affordable hawker prices .
