where are the cheap and good must eats??
1. Chicken Rice Balls (I prefer the coffeeshop stall in the middle stretch of Jonker Street), not 'heji', not "gu cheng".

2. Nyonya food
3. Satay celup "lok lok"
4. Seaside seafood stalls at Portuguese Village
5. Pineapple tarts/kuehs/pies
6. feel free add on...
7. ....

Yeah. Suangern is comprehensive.
Nancy's kitchen seems to be quite popular.
Satay lok lok is like a must have there.
Chendol as well.
I dont fancy the Chic lice ball though.
Instead, I prefer to eat the street food at the Jonker night market on every Sat night.

Yup, forgot still have all these desserts: ice kacang, cendol, "six taste soup", "eight treasure soup" etc.

If nancy pricey, beizhan also pricey. :s13:

Beizhan is just a restaurant with Tzi char.

chicken rice ball.... avoid famosa at all cost. it's a tourist trap. the chicken rice ball is so hard and dry. the shop is very easy to recognise, it has the most elaborate design among the 3 chicken rice shops.

the other 2, hoe kee and chung wah, is safe to eat. they're both besides the big big 'san shu gong' shop right at the start of jonker street.

to me, their chicken is stiff (maybe kampong chicken), rice is acceptable, in rice ball pattern, rather sticky feeling

Rong mao dim sum also not bad.. but remember to be there early!!

Rong mao has been there for at least few decades. Majority customers are old folks.

For dim sum, Ban Hong Xiang Tea House @ Jalan Gajah Berang is very famous too.

Beizhan food is so so only, the only reason why people go to beizhan bcos their serving is very fast..

I visited Beizhan once @ its old premise. Now Beizhan has moved to new premise with much nicer decoration.

Dun think it's cheap as compare to local standard. :D

We have much nicer Tzi char here than Beizhan.

which shop sell nice Pineapple tarts?

Nice is quite subjective. :D There are more than 10 shops selling Pineapple tarts @ Jonker Street area. Try first before buy.

I personnally like the Pineapple tarts opp Jonker Boutique hotel (beside Aik Cheong coffee).
